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

Hey guys,
I am on the way to totally redesign my app and I came up to the decision that I want to have a consistent design of my app. I really like ICS' "Theme.Holo", but I want to support pre-ICS devices (also 2.x) too. Now I wanted to ask you, if there is any way to achieve this (which I haven't found yet) or something like a compability package with the graphics & styles?
Thanks in advance!
I Also want this!

I think you didn't understand me. I want to use the ICS theme on previous Android versions, not the default theme of each android version.

previous android versions did not have a default theme for apps. That is actually the point of the Holo theme, to bring uniformity to Android.
omg, you really don't want to understand me? i don't mean DefaultTheme i mean, the theme which is set by default in the Android OS (and might be customized by the !OEM!)
I am just asking for ICS' Holo Theme for preICS
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.
But anyway, good work!
Thanks! I thought the OP looked a little strange

This should work for any htc rezound ROM. However i have not and most likely won't be testing it on anything other than stock so i suggest a nandroid first to be safe.
These work on Sense 4.1. I'm running Newt's One xXx 5.1.1
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

Hmmm... well I flashed it twice and like I said I'm using Multiling Keyboard. When I try to choose the emoji keyboard, it says "Emoji codec not found. Please install if you haven't done so."

I believe there is a emoji codec that needs to accompany the keyboard, check the settings. Sorry I cannot help more I don't use it myself
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.
I don't know how to create custom ROMs but here i will give some good suggestions and ideas. The Rom should be create on the latest firmware XXMC1, The TouchWiz 3.0 icons should be replaced with S4 Icons, Why? Because it's better when we don't have Launcher runing in Task Manager it will be good to have 5 icons in the dock. Wallpapers from the S4 (not in huge resolution but the size like in the stock wallpapers size) Stock apps because they are original, in About phone should be put the original picture from S4 and to be typed "Jelly Bean 4.2" nothing more because it's stupid and noobish writing "Custom ROM by Manlymanofdoom40241" Scrollable Notification bar or one just like in CM 10.1 :fingers-crossed:

So you made a new thread altogether to give suggestions for a Rom which doesnt even exists?
So let's see, u want a s4 like rom if i'm not wrong.
First u should have asked about this in discussion thread, u would have got better answers.
Now since u made a thread for requesting a rom. Put a [request] in thread title, so that misunderstanding remains minimum.
Ask requests in polite way not like u are commanding someone.
Please don't flame each other, this is discussion section, keep it healthy!
Now about your requests
U can take the launcher from sgs3 v4 rom(when it is released), it has 5 dock icons
To change about phone settings edit build.prop file in system/
Scrollable notification bar, it think u are talking about grid view.
Developers are working on it so have patience.
Most of ur requests can be filled through sgs3 v4 rom. Wait for it! :thumbup:

BTW, if you're interested in learning how to make a custom ROM, there are a few tutorials here and in the development section that are more than enough for you to implement your ideas, which are fairly simple.
More generally, assuming good faith is always recommended. One can see any comment as aggressive otherwise.
I tried to create rom but seems i don't have great knoweldge...

As I've said, the tutorials cover everything you want and are more than enough even if you don't know anything, as long as you're willing to learn.
If we just search on Google or here in xda we will find our answers.
Stop creating unnecessary threads.

As I am kinda new to posting here, I cant ask there so must relate my question in this Q&A forum:
Does anyone know please, what is the first pic in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686 ? I am not sure if it is lockscreen or something like that, but looks so cool and I would like to know if it is in NeatROM included, or is it a mod or? Thank you for replies
I haven't flashed any mods like that but i think this should be what you're looking for

It's a custom homescreen, made using a custom wallpaper, UCCW widgets and some other stuff. You can find similar homescreen themes (and maybe that one too), along with instructions, here:
http://mycolorscreen.com/
The exact thing its called is mnml blue (if memory serves me correctly). Search on YouTube, there's video tutorials on how to make it. You can have a look in the last week or so of NeatROM thread, there was a guy who was doing it for himself just a few days ago on there.

Eithet flash a aosp rom like cm12, or try these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/theme-systemui-themes-n910u-5-0-1-t3097608
There is one named aorp which is kinda like aosp
Also using wanam xposed, you can edit the colors of some elements to make things like aosp yourself...
Btw, ask your questions in Q&A section to keep forum organized

Pffff i cant believe i am the only one who wants this.. No one made a complete notification drop down like aosp. I would really flash cm 12 even though it is not available for n910c :'( sorry for the wrong section , i really dont know how this forum works my first thread
How about the icons like the WiFi and signal bars to make it look like stock android? I could do this on simplrom but now I'm on infinity ROM.
