I really love this wish more developers of Roms would really jump on adding emoji into there roms. I just flashed CM 7 every character is showing but one! Every character was showing on salvage mod 1.4 hate the missing characters on CM7 but I'll deal with it for now cause salvage mod keeps rebooting on it own! Thanks MahlHavoc for your work! I look forward to updates

its always better to use titanium backup and backup the font changer app with the data and then restore it later on. i have used that method and it worked for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mahlhavoc:
Color emoji is POSSIBLE.. or is it (squinty eye emoji)...

Can this be accomplished below? I have all the .png and fonts, but not the regex know how etc...

From my experience most emoticons (emoji) do not use a font, but are rather bitmap graphics (e.g. emoticons in the default Android text editor). There are several downsides to using a font:

•Suppose you made the characters a, b, c, d etc into emoticons - the user would then be unable to read/send messages with those characters in without them turning to emoticons.

•Fonts are generally quite large as they contain a lot of information for displaying the text at different sizes/styles

Using bitmap graphics will allow you to easily use the same emoticons across a wide range of devices, whilst using standard device fonts the text around the emoticons.

You will have to parse the string that you are displaying, find the emoticons, and replace them with images.

On Android for instance you would accomplish this with:

1.Search the string for all emoticon occurences (regex can do this easily enough)

2.Replace all emoticons with the string <img src="emoticon.png" /> (althugh change emoticon.png based on the type of emoticon)

3.Convert the String to HTML with String myHtmlString = Html.fromHtml(myEmoticonString, myImageGetter, null);

4.Display the string in a TextView myTextView.setText(myHtmlString)

In step 3 myImageGetter needs to be an instance of Html.ImageGetter which returns a graphic (drawable) based on the src attribute of the images in the string (ie it converts a string file name to an actual graphic)

The steps on other platforms would be different but you should be able to use the same basic method (parse string, replace emoticons with images).

Any help or direction would be appreciated, I would do what I can if I had direction.

Thanks in advance!

At least now I can see more in Kingdoms Live. Btw, I used the free ES File Explorer from EStrongs. Easy to use. Just need to enable root in settings.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] basimthedream:
I actually think its IOS5 not the mod. I didn't flash a new rom since and I'm seeing a lot of boxes and it didn't start until after IOS5 was released. Maybe they added some new images that aren't in the mod.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mahlhavoc:
when going to a new rom, you will most likely have to reinstall all fonts as some roms use different fonts.. some more some less. I don't know of a way to save and redo on a new rom.

Love the creation you've done Mal! Great work bro...

*Still waits impatiently like a little kid for Color emoji* :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ulmo:
Thank you very much! It worked great! In CM7.1, I had to use /system/fonts not /system/font, and I also didn't have much space on my N1 so I had to make an /sd-ext/system/fonts directory on my /sd-ext partition that I'm already using for lots of things, and that worked just great with symlinks of the big files into /system/fonts. Now I'm seeing, like you said, most of the usual things you would expect in Vampires Live, and I'm seeing about 40% coverage in Grindr (apparently looking for &@^# uses a different language).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Gone2Plaid:
Worked perfectly!

Thanks! Now I can finally see those names correctly in Street Racing. To make the changes to the font ttf files in /system/fonts/ I used the free ES File Explorer (enabled read/write Root access and set the Home path to "/"). Your detailed instructions made it easy!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Gone2Plaid:
Had to back out the changes by restoring a previous Nandroid backup. Started noticing that there were character errors on the Dolphin Mini Browser tabs. Also unread messages in the gmail app were no longer bold. Decided I could live without the special characters in games. Thanks anyway for the effort and good instructions!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bertoq:
I did this and I can now see emoji when playing Storm 8 games which is great! Thank you. I also play Haypi and I can't see emoji when I'm playing. Only like 5% of the emoji comes through. Is this game specific or is there a more comprehensive emoji pack I should be looking for?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hristopelov:
+1

i play S8 games from atleast 2 years too, i even had a 300 lvl lol.

Worked just fine, too bad we dont have 100% of the emoji availiable out there.

Hope you update any of the fonts if you find more or new ones that we can add to /system/fonts or install with font changer...

Keep up the good work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hristopelov:
+1 man, hopefully well get some more updated "DoroidSans" fonts or other hat we can unstall thru "fong changer app"...

theres still some emoji we dont see in the S8 games, not to forget iOS 5 added support for emoji directly in the keyboard... they dont need to install anything, they just choose emoji from the international keyboad option...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] abhi4567:
everything is done.. but whenever i go to the font changer and apply emoji font its says "the requested operation was aborted due to lack of space on the system partition".

please tell me what should i do now"?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hristopelov:
I had the same issue, you need to get rid of some crap apps that come with the OS (bloatware)

get titanium backup and uninstall those programs, free some space, then it will go smoothly.

search the forums for "how to remove bloatware" or "bloatware safe to remove" Threads, and delete those apps, be carefull, dont delete anything you arent sure is safe.

swype is a huge program, i dont use it, frees like 10MBs if not more... there is probably 10-15 others atleast you can dump.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] smoothe23:
Ive tried everything, followed instructions and just cant seem to get it to work..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hristopelov:
If still get the same error "no enough space" you need to unistall things that you dont use from the system applications...

did that? if not, go do it, will NOT go thru without that done... you have no room.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] A Ham Sandwich:
I have all the files on my SD card but every time I try to copy/paste them to the internal storage I get Operation Failed. This is really frustrating me. I have it mounted as read-write already. It copied the EmojiFont.ttf file to the .fontchanger folder without issue (copying from SD to SD), but the hangup seems to be copying from the SD to Internal Storage.

Samsung Galaxy S/SGH-i897 Captivate running stock 2.3.3 ROM (UCKF1 kernel), rooted of course. Using File Expert to modify the files.

Someone please help!

I'm having the same issue. I'm running the AOKP ICS ROM for the Nexus S 4G & I either get strange Chinese symbols or the boxes.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Adevem:
it worked beautifully though the new font is a little weird. if I just applied the Emoji font through fontchanger, would it work? anyone tried it?

also wondering, what's the name of the font that we actually downloaded? looks a little like Helvetica. Arial?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheJayyWilliams:
I'm glad this thread is still active! I've been trying for a while to get color emoji ,since I already have this successfully installed. seeing as MIUI has emoji I went through the ROMs files & whatnot , & all 400+ emoji icons are present in the framework-res.apk. only problem is , I don't know how to "activate" them , like how typing a ":-)" would generally show up as Androids Smiley face..... maybe if we all tried together to get color to show up (seeing as that I almost have it) , maybe we could have actual emoji.

For updated fonts for the "new emoji" and some other tweaks I have.. download Palringo app from the Market and join room "Scourge Pub" and ask for Mahlhavoc or aariell.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xPoP:
Mahlhavoc, I couldn't thank you enough for this. There are so many people trying to find this type of thing and I finally found it. I hope you can find one with color eventually, and I really would love that, but this is a great alternative and is as good as it gets.

DJCrapsody, thank you for fixing the first link that Mahlhavoc messed up, haha.

Also, if you have problems adding the files into /system/fonts/, then you can use the Android SDK's platform-tools.

Connect your phone via USB. I moved the 5 files from "Droid.zip" into platform-tools, then did the whole "shift-right click inside platform-tools, then open commands window here" thing.

After that, I entered these commands:

> adb push DroidSansArabic.ttf /system/fonts
> adb push DroidSansFallback.ttf /system/fonts
> adb push DroidSansHebrew.ttf /system/fonts
> adb push DroidSansThai.ttf /system/fonts
> adb push gcsh00d-hkscs.ttf /system/fonts

Restarted my phone, and done! It worked.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] trasman618:
very happy

tried the old way yesterday. worked perfectly on my DroidX. The new short way url is not valid. Curious if it will give me a better result than the old manual way. Ican see probably 90% emoji and unicode with the old way. Still very happy:D Thank You

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

almost forgot. M Droidx also didn't have enough space for the fallback file. I had to use explorer app and delete some unused fileslike Madden Nfl and some other factory apps that unrooted phones can't uninstall. Once i freed up enough space it worked great...Thanks again..

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iEVOi:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johnus:
TrueType fonts can't be colored like that. iOS cheats by placing a bunch of emoji .png images into a .ttf font file and simply shows the images when emoji is used. It's not actually a valid font, otherwise we'd have had native color emoji a long time ago. Could always use Handcent or GO SMS Pro as a workaround, even though that won't help you in other apps.

SMS Emojis Not Working...

Thank you so much for creating and posting this! It has frustrated me so long that I cannot understand the context or meaning of an iPhone user's message because I just see little boxes or question marks instead of emojis. This worked perfectly for getting emojis to appear in apps like Instagram and Twitter!

However, the main reason I downloaded it was to be able to see emojis in text messages from my friends, and this is still not working.

Attached are pictures of what an SMS containing iOS emojis looked like before and after installing the new emoji font using this method. All that changed was how the question marks looked. I checked in the default messaging app, GO SMS, and Handcent SMS, and every text I've gotten with emojis displays the same in all of these: just a bunch of question marks.

Again, it worked for apps like Instagram and Twitter, but it is not working in the messaging app, which is the main reason for me to do this.

Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have a Sprint HTC Evo 4G running CM7.1.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SGNA:
Works... with a few tweaks :)

Just to give a lil heads up. I did this for a CynagenMod 9 ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S2 and it worked fine BUT...

I already had the Fallback ttf font file so I had to rename (safer than deleting) the old one, because the new one was called DroidSansFallback-Copy and so obviously wouldn't work.

I understood the importance of the Fallback font file from this lovely lady iridaki and her first post in this thread here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1879056

I also decided to use the Root Browser Lite app (it's free, I didn't download the extras because they made the app hang), and it enabled me change rights and edit and copy and paste et al.

Also, it's worth noting for Swiftkey users that Swiftkey doesn't support Emoji icons yet - may soon do though, judging by the demand for it on their support pages. So for Messaging, I decided to use the Handcent app + Emoji plugin. For Twitter and all that other stuff, I used the Emoji Keyboard, and it seems to work fine. Hope that helps someone, and hope I'm allowed to highlight apps and things that worked for me, I'm not trying to promote any of em!
