Good day community,
i really want to know how to make our own smileys on Android 4.4
I would like to have the one of Samsung or the one of iOS.
The original looks not so well.
I know all the icons are in the NotoColorEmoji.ttf font file, but i cant find a way to open and editing it...
Could you help me finding a way to make my own emoji pack?
Regards yener90

Really I was happy when I read your post, I thought that I finally found a solution.
I believe it is images that must be replaced, I don't know exactly how, but I hope one of the experts could answer your question.

I think you can do it whit the Smiley Remplacer modules on Xposed installer. I don't tested it so I'm not really sure.

There's a thread by @angelsel which explains how to replace the Android color emoji with the iOS color emoji AND how he managed to do it. The tutorial in the thread isn't too hard to follow, although he forgot to write that the AppleColorEmoji.tff provided in the thread needs to have permissions -rw-r-r in the "fonts" folder. It works great and doesn't replace any other system fonts. Looks just like iOS.

Hello all,
I am running Check Rom V6 right now. I have 5 icons, dialer, contacts, messaging, home, and apps. I was wondering if someone could guide me on how to use these icons. They are all in a .png format. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

What launcher are you using? Most allow you to replace icons with ones of your choosing, you'll just have to put them on your sdcard.
If you're wanting to theme icons at the system level, or your launcher doesn't allow you to select a custom icon, then you'll have to modify apks.

Send me the icons and I'll make a flashable .zip for you that will change them, hassle free ( plus a recovery one so you can revert them if you don't like them ).
It's 2 minutes of work
Edit : I figure you want to change them while using Touchwiz, because replacement launchers do it easily anyway
Thank You Sir!!!!
I have uploaded the contacts messaing apps and all icons i dont need the dialer as it is stock look in the newest 2.3.6 builds

CWM -> Install update from sdcard ( don't worry about "enter the Vertumus world" text, I just edited Vert's zip a bit )
tested on my phone and works like a charm
Now I just need to wait till my CheckROM v6 finishes downloading so I can make a restore zip for you.
I'm not sure what the default icons are in new version and I need it anyway
Check this post later on. Post a screenshot when you flash it
Sir dont worry about the the restore packages i have a backup. I will post a screen shot thank you soo much though

Not strictly true - although it is an app drawer replacement.
Can change icons and names with this, my favourite ever app ever of all time ever.
As I've posted before, if there's an easier way to edit icons/text and retain functionality, I have yet to find it.
Especially because I couldn't modify an apk if my life was at stake...

Not joking, sorry. Haven't used nor installed TW launcher for about 7 months.
Live and learn - glad to be corrected, and not worried about my ignorance being on public display. Can hardly backtrack now can I?
Can you edit icons and app names there too?

Nah, Touchwiz basically sucks for everything I checked out that alternate app drawer app, it looks cool, pretty customizable I'm sure MIUI users adore it XD
Original credit for discovering the ICS fallback fonts goes to iridaki for the experia http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879056. I have just modified his version to work with our Rezound :laugh:
I have tested this and is working perfectly to create the Android 41. Jellybean Emoji through out the ICS system, I am using stock Global RUU with a few modifications but this should work with any ROM. Please let me know if you run into any issues wit it.
I wanted this because i use the stock messaging system and noticed that i could not receive Emoji icons from other phone users, such as that crappy Apple product, in my messages., however i didn't wnat to use a 3rd party messaging app such as Handcent. With this enabled you can now send and receive special Emoji characters in the ENTIRE ICS system not just in the messaging app, please note to type the characters you'll need a keyboard such as Multiling Keyboard. Google enabled this option in Jellybean by adding a font to the fallback font script which contained the necessary characters to recieve the non standard Emoji's.
This zip contains the added font and a modified script so that when receiving a special character you will no longer see the boxes, but instead the Jellybean encoded Emoji!
Please note: I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, this has been tested and should in no way affect anything, but as always use at your own risk.
Steps to install:
Place HTCemojiflashable.zip onto root of external sd card
Boot into recovery and create a backup(important so you can revert back in case of issues)
Flash zip file using recovery(I recommend Amon-Ra 3.15)
Reboot and enjoy
Just a suggestion, I would make the OP a bit more clear for the noobs.

They are black and white icons. This is stated in the original thread in the Xperia's section, but I am just confirming that they DO work on Sense 4.1

Thank you so much for this! I'm on HTC Sensation and this works perfectly! Just wondering would you be able to, if possible to have the full emoji icon instead of the b/w? I know you go off of the JB release to get this, but maybe you can customize it, possibly? Also can you get OS6 Emoji?
i don't believe it is possible to do that without having a modified messaging apk. Android messaging does not have emoji support built in such as ios, this mod simply adds a font if you will that is programmed to display the emoji. Same idea as italic or bold font, not possible to give it color or anything like that unless the android message apk was written to encode emoji's, which it is not in JB or ICS so unless there is someone much better out there who can write the code for the apk i'm sorry i can't add the support. This will however receive ios6 emoji, it will just display it as JB would though, not an iphone.
Any one are tired of the blue and green colour over th system ui?
Has been using the tab s for 2 months and waiting for themers modify it. however, seems that not much themer or developer work on this device. Who can work on it or teach me how to do so?

have been asking for the tab pro rom port to the tab S both by thedevious1 since they are so similar..no response (understand that). I tried my own cut and paste...select priv apps and it boots but system ui error..individually can take the file manager and mms apks and they work fine with the lighter ui..the contacts also can be used but not with phone (dependencies I guess)..tried porting using some of the guides but what do I know..also most of guides are old and jb etc based
Okay, so even though this is my first post here I've been reading this forums from the shadows for a while now and I thought it was time to ask for something that gives me real bad headaches. No need to say that I've read all similar posts and still didn't find an answer.
The thing is that I'd really like to have color emojis on my i9300 running stock TouchWiz 4.3.
As far as I know, you can not have color emojis on < 4.4 KK because it seems .ttf doesn't support colors. I've also read somewhere that another reason is CBDT / CBLC tables are necessary and they are only supported in 4.4 and above.
(On a side note, a friend of mine did have color emojis on his i9300 running 4.3 as well)
The question is, is there any way to backport CBDT / CBLC tables support or whatever from KK to JB?
Thank you!
PS: I don't know if this is the right place for asking this, so mods feel free to move this elsewhere

Some of you may or may have not noticed, but coming from a nexus 5, the emoji's were nice looking. Now that I'm on V10, the emojis are butt ugly. I've attached an image of what I'm talking about. The ones circled in green are what the new ones look like, and the red circled ones are the ones I'd like back. Clicking on them only changes what they look like when selecting them on the keyboard. Not what they look like when placed. Any way I can get them permanently?

How'd you do that? Just replace a file? Mind sharing it with me? I managed to use emoji switcher to get the Google ones back, but that's only for lollipop. The new Unicode update would be better.

Emojis are actually fonts so you can easily change it out.. here
Emoji 6.0.1
Use a root explorer (I use Solid Explorer...its what es file explorer used to be before it started taking drugs )
Navigate to /system/fonts/
Rename NotoColorEmoji.ttf to NotoColorEmoji.ttf.bak (this is your backup if you want to revert)
Copy the downloaded file into the font folder and set the permission to -rw-r-r (aka 0644).
Reboot and enjoy

Lol well right now you would probably only be able to see the update for the already existing emoji you won't be able to see the new ones until you install a supported keyboard, I'll post the google keyboard from my nexus 6 later on when I get home from work/gym unless @Rydah805 can hook you up with a deodexed version first

Like I said, didn't work here. The Emoji Switcher app couldn't gain root and failed. I'll swap them manually when I have the spare time.
Well you could always try this method. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...covery-install-unicode-8-0-emoji-5-x-t3266000
I ended up doing it all manually and it worked just fine for me. The new Unicode 8.0 emoji will ONLY show up in the AOSP keyboard for now. But the ones that were replaced with different images did get updated either way.
lol sorry I completely forgot about this....but the thread that @Virus.Shell linked to is a hopefully functioning 6.0.1 keyboard.
Not sure if you guys have seen this, but I installed these emoji, MUCH nicer than the stock Android ones and obviously nicer than the stock LG.

Welp, not my number or my pic. If he wants to put it up, more power to him. As for Google Keyboard, like the post says, there's a modified version that uses all the emoji. It's 50% of the point of my post
I have been using TouchPal app as a default swiping keyboard for all my texting all the while. And there are a lot of different kind of emojis in this app and it is free. Give it a try - I hope you will like it.
