As hardcore Storm8 games player, I always wanted to be able to see the iPhone emoji in the names or posts on peoples walls on my Android, I decided to create this detailed guide of how to enable emoji on Android phones.

First things first, do no proceed if you are not comfortable with the next few paragraphs below that are in caps:

1. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THIS IS NOT A GUIDE OF “HOW TO ROOT MY DROID” OR “HOW TO MOVE FILES FROM PC TO PHONE”

2. YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED!

3. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE NOT FOLLOWING THE GUIDE, OR DELETING SOMETHING BY MISTAKE!

4. THE EMOJI WONT BE IN COLOR! THEY WILL BE THE SAME COLOR AS THE LETTERS IN GAME! REGARDLESS YOU WILL SEE 90% OF ALL THEM!

Ok, you still here? Here you go then:

You will need to download 2 applications, and 4 font files; I have uploaded all those below, you can DW them directly from your Android phone, and have them in your download folder, or DW to your PC and move them to a folder on your SD card of the phone via USB cable or Bluetooth:

Root Explorer.apk 204.9KB PAID APP!!!

Font Changer.apk 309.5 KB http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60301216/Font Changer.apk

DroidSansArabic.ttf 23.4KB http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60301216/DroidSansArabic.ttf

DroidSansFallback.ttf 22.2 MB http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60301216/DroidSansFallback.ttf

DroidSansHebrew.ttf 1.2 MB http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60301216/DroidSansHebrew.ttf

EmojiFont.ttf 3.7 MB http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60301216/EmojiFont.ttf

Do NOT change any of the names of the downloaded font files! If you

do, it won’t work out, and you might mess something even more.

So to make things clear, at this step, you have all those 4 font

files, and 2 apps files on your ROOTED Android phone.

Now to start the process... pay attention carefully and do it step by step:

1. Install both of those applications that you downloaded.

2. Open “Font Changer” app once, we need that so the app create a folder named “.fontchanger” on your phone SD card

3. Close the “Font Changer” app

4. Open “Root Explorer” app (all next steps until we close the app in step 13 are performed in it)

5. Navigate to the folder with the 4 font files.

6. Find “EmojiFont.tff” file and copy it.

7. Navigate to the “.fontchanger” folder, open it, and paste the file inside.

8. Go back to the 4 font files folder and select “DroidSansArabic.tff” file and copy it.

9. Now you need to navigate out of the SD card to the phone main directory where the system files are, find folder named “system”-open it, in there find folder name “fonts”-open it.

10. You will notice on the top of the app says “Mounted as RO” and a button that says “Month R/W” press that button (that is to get permission to write in that folder, should be just once, but if you go back to the folder after and is “Mounted as RO, change it again by pressing the “Mount R/W” button)

11. Now paste that font, if you ask you to replace the existing one, choose “YES” offcourse, it might just replace it without asking.

12. Now you need to go back to the 4 fonts folder on your SD card, and repeat step 8-11 with the other 2 fonts left – “DroidSansFallback.tff” and “DroidSansHebrew.tff”, one by one, copy, go to “system” in there to “fonts”, make sure you are “Mounted R/W” on the top of the app, and paste.

13. Once you are done doing this with the 3 “Droid” fonts, go ahead and close the “Root Explorer” app

14. Open “Font Changer” app, if you properly placed the “EmojiFont.tff” in the “.fontchanger” folder in step 7, it will show it in there.

15. Highlight the “EmojiFont” and run it, the app will install it, will ask for reboot, go ahead and reboot the phone.

16. Guess what? That’s It :)

I tried to make this as simple as possible for you folks, good luck and if it does work, a thanks is more than enough!

Final result should look like that:
