Hi, I don't know if my issue is related to Android Pie, Samsung's new UI, or Galaxy S8's, so I'm posting it here, I tried looking all over but couldn't find the right search terms... Anyway, I like to use emojis when I txt because I've found over the years that txt's can be taken the wrong way if they're read out of context, so I like to use happy and or sad faces a lot to make sure my meaning gets sent across.
I have pretty much exclusively used Swype+Dragon for years as my keyboard, and the emoji face has always been on the input bar. Yesterday I got pushed to Android 9 and the emoji icon is now replaced by a "sticker" icon, which is completely worthless and idiotic to me.
The only way it seems to access emojis is with the toolbar on the Samsung keyboard, but since Swype doesn't have this button, I'm sort of SOL.
While researching it yesterday I discovered a video of someone going over the differences between Pie and Oreo and his input bar on Oreo had the sticker button, not the emoji button, so it led me to believe that this is some how customizable, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to do it.
Does anybody know if it's possible to replace the sticker icon on the input bar with the emoji icon? This is on an S8.
I've attached a screen shot showing the icon I'm talking about, it's in Messenger and it's the square smiley face on the input bar.
Thanks!
Hi, I just updated from Oreo to Pie, also use Swype/ dragon, and am experiencing the same problem! Ever find a solution?

Could someone please explain to me if Swype is coming out for the SGS3. I know Samsung has built in most of Swypes settings into the standard Samsung keyboard setting, but there are quite a few changes that are really not as good as using this keyboard on the SGS2. For example, a long hold of backspace would delete the last word - now it is a time oriented press. If you type a word then tap on it after typing to change it to one of the other suggested words, the suggested words no longer appear.
Any ideas?

Download any of those.
The samsung keyboard on the SGS3 has an option to allow swipe!
It has swype built in.
I know it is inbuilt but the inbuilt is nowhere near as good as the Swype that was on my SGS2, hence the questions.
Will try a theme, thanks!
Thank you for the link, but all of those don't seem to display properly on the SGS3 - they seem to only take up half the allocated space for a keyboard? Any alternatives?
Try to find swype for Galaxy Note. I am not allowed to post here but it shouldn't be a problem.
Yes the inbuild its not even close to swype.
Hello XDA I’ve been away from android for some time; switched to iPhone for a bit, from the htc evo 4g. I have switched to Verizon and the galaxy s4 sense then and I want to make some changes to my phone (hence the post). I have rooted my device but haven’t put any custom roms or kernels on my s4 just different launchers. Here is a list of thing I want to change:
Quick disclaimer: some of my wording may be off, I don’t have my phone in front of me to check everything and do proper background research
Phone UI-I want to change the phone app entirely. Its ugly it’s white and it’s [for lack of a better word] fat and cartoonish. I hate the stock dialer and the in-call ui. It has to go; please if nothing else give me some ideas on how to change this! Im using ex dialer and contacts but that doesn’t change the in call experience.
Unread Notifications- I’m currently using nova launcher prime and action launcher pro the kicker is that neither have a proper unread counter for calls texts and emails. Nova works the best because it does in fact have an unread counter but it only works for phone and texts but not for Samsung emails which I use for both my Gmail and my exchange emails. It irks me; I’ve emailed the developer but haven’t heard anything back from him.
Wi-Fi- is there a way to move/add wifi to the notification panel? The panel being the quick access buttons on the top of the notification scroll down. I hate that is “floating” in the other part of the notification list.
Volume- how can I get rid of the volume alert I get when I have something plugged in to the headphone port? I feel that it’s the dumbest warning in the world and it’s even more annoying because it keeps coming back after each reboot (I think). We aren’t 5 years old we already know that loadnoises arnt good for our ears…
App drawer icon- I love the touchwiz app drawer icon and that’s probably the only thing I can’t live without. I’ve got a similar icon from a touchwiz icon pack but it’s not the same one. How can I extract it from touch wiz so that I can use it with various roms or launchers?
Google play- I buy things from Google play every now and again and would like to continue to do so. The only problem is, is that I can’t move the content over to the SD card I would like to store it there because 16gb can only hold so much. I saw that someone figured out how to move Google play music over to SD which is great but I want my magazines and movies on the SD too.
I would like to keep as many Samsung features as I can when I rom my device I enjoy a lot of the Samsung gimmicks that came with it; such as multi-window and the smart stay, view, scroll and pause it’s fun to play with.
Are there specific roms and kernels I need to use for my specific device? If so please refer me to the thread.
Is there a rom that adds a professional and sleek look to the device and adds the discussed features from above? If so what is it and where can I get it!?

I love that the "swype" feature is now incorporated, because it honestly just saves me so much time. However, compared to one of the customs ones I had last year, it's - sad to say - garbage.
On the one I used before, and I believe even the swype app, there were a few differences that made it great for me. The three major drawbacks I find are (1) when I use a browser and do "swype", the words do not automatically get spaced, even though they will in a text or whatnot. (2) If I push backspace, because the wrong word has been chosen, I have to backspace letter-by-letter instead of just deleting the whole word in one go. (3) The worst is that several words that my older keyboard would guess right without issue will just not come up on this keyboard. At one point I got a word, had to delete it, re-needed that word, and it would no longer come up... On top of that, I expect certain words like "dalvik" to be picked up on.
Anyways, is it just me, or is anyone else noticing this?
I can also upload the keyboard I was using, it's was based on 4.2 and can be flashed. Very seldom will younotice anything buggy, and even if so, it is nothing that impedes on your typing or from the keyboard functioning as it should.
I'm using Swype+Dragon and I admit that this keyboard isn't that great the space button is so small and they're trying to pack everything into a small amount of space but it's not as bad either. I've been using jelly bean keyboard for quite some time and love it. I used other keyboards but nothing compares to the jelly bean keyboard just need to have more themes for it. The only reason I'm using Swype is because the keyboard theme goes with the rest of the theme for my phone.

You can try SwiftKey. I've used it on my S3 and now on my S4. It has Swype features they call "Flow" Try it out, you might like it.
I'll take a look for the SwiftKey. I did find a keyboard that has bigger buttons if anyone is interested in trying that.
HI, folks!
For last week I've been googling around how to get rid of ugly icon background and frames on my new Droid device.
The trouble is that all app icons at the app screen and at desktop screen has that really ugly background color, that seems to be randomly choosed and a transparent frame (see the attached picture). You can see that on Opera, Skype and Navitel icons. In that case background is blue, but for DrWeb icon it's light gray. That makes my crazy! Moreover, it seems to resize icons to fit in this square frames and that makes it looks even more ugly.
After some search I came up for that it moor looks like an Launcher issue/settings. My devise is an OEM Chinese protected phone (more commonly known as Batl S09) and it seem to have Samsung TouchWiz, at least I have SamsungLauncher4.apk at /system/app/ folder and it's marked as Launcher 4.2.2-eng.wsl in Applicatin section in Settings.
Soo, as I'm very noob in Android hacking, I need help there.
same problem...
Hi Guys,
Very odd but seems like this problem doesn't occur many times. It is happening to me too and this thread is the only thing I found on the web on this topic.
Can anybody help as this is really a pain in the a**.
Thanks a lot!
i got the same problem, any solution so far?
I am trying to get iOS emojis to display by using the font method but every time I change it the emojis are on the top left of the keyboard.

I've also tried different font packs and restarting the phone but non of them fix the issue.
Just use emoji switcher mate.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you ever figure out a way to solve this? I have the same issue and it's driving me crazy. A.I. type keyboard doesn't even display emojis anymore, same as gboard.
Rooting is not an option for me right now so emoji switcher wouldn't work.
i have barely same problem..as i switch to ios 12 font..emojis in keyboard works but when i use them on snapchat for example they appear stock?
