This CWM zip will enable emoji compatibility throughout the system. I believe Jellybean supports it natively and some ICS roms (e.g., CM9) have it. I'm not sure if CM9 support is only in the messaging app, but this zip enables it system wide, which means you'll be able to see them in the browser, Twitter apps, etc. Unfortunately, they only appear in black and white. If there are any problems with flashing, you can manually extract the files to the appropriate directory (/system/fonts) with 644 permissions.
Flash in recovery or manually extract contents

And to make changes to system files, you have to mount r/w (top right corner if you're using root explorer).

I also got the status error "0" in cwm.
I'm using Root Browser lite. Not sure how to mount to read/write.
EDIT:
I managed to get it working. I had to tweak Root Browser lite to allow me to change permissions. I noticed when you extract the files into the /system/font folder, it doesn't overwrite the old ones; it just renames the extracted files with a "-copy" suffix. I deleted the old files then removed the "-copy" from the extracted files. Rebooted and confirmed its working now.
Thanks for this mod! Now I can see what iPhone users are emoji-ing about...lol

Since we're replacing the font files with modded ones, the emojis act like regular fonts. They're supposed to be black and white...unless you change your phone's font color to something else.
I think (in theory), the emojis on the iPhone are linked to a certain image based on the character combinations... : ) =, : ( = etc...

I tried using .zip files from the 300 Font thread in TWRP recovery, and it said "Failed".
I've used Font Installer from the market, but it changed certain things, and then didn't change them back later when I wanted to try something else.
Is there a new and special way to flash these .zips in recovery?
You would need zips specifically for ics. The font files are different. Also, I don't know if twrp can read anything other than edify.

Check here for more information on making flashable font packs for ICS. You might be able to take his zipfile, and just replace the fonts inside with your own using 7zip (make sure they're named correctly - exactly like they are in his example fontpack). He's also got a bunch there to choose from. maybe he'll make one for you if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself.

N00b Moment. So system isn't mounted by default?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but it'd be nice if CWM had some method for the app, or for devs to implement auto mounting of necessary partitions or folders.

What file manager did you use to place the apk and lib? Did you also have to mount when you transferred those files?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
For me I got it to work by copied the apk over to the systems/apps dir. Renamed the original then changed the permissions. Works pretty good. The lock screen part seems to have issues for the display. It will show just a default music icon. then when i change a song using the controls, it will find the right text to display. Anyone else seeing that?
Thanks for sharing!

I've tried mounting it in TWRP, but no go for me. Unless I'm mounting it incorrectly?
OK here ya go I tried to test these as best I could but as always USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I would NAND Backup if I didn't want to have to reflash my ROM (like that was ever an issue).
This uses D.O.C. theme engine so they can be flashed on virtually ANY ROM.
Big thanks to Snuzzo as well THANKS
I tested them the best that I could.

One thing you might need to adjust your animation speeds in /settings/Developer Options/Window Animation Scale & Transition Animation Scale.
Not much else to say other then ENJOY!

Nope. No workaround. Also with vrtheme, if you want your old animations back, there is a folder created as "vrtheme-backup" on your sd card. These could potentially work on nearly any ICS rom.

only "work around" for it would be to extract the framework-res.apk from your system/framework directory.
place it on your pc, use 7zip to explore the apk with out opening it and drop the "anim" folder into the apk where the old one is.
then push apk back to phone.

Why we could get alot of errors when changing the file in the system when we're doing it right?
If theres an error then either we fix it or do a restoration. thats why always do BACKUP.

Well, you also need the proper folder structure (system/app/someapp.apk, for example), and a META-INF folder with a proper updater-script and update-binary.. And zip those folders together.. And possibly sign the zip (unless sig checks are disabled in your custom recovery). I bet there are other guides around...

This link can get you started with writing the actual updater-script. There are several threads here with tools that also build the scripts and zips like you were asking.
If you just want to flash apps to system/app, you can use this (works smoothly )
