View emoji icons like IOS? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen different threads about Viewing/using emoji on android devices however I haven't found a solution or final conclusion if this is possible. I don't like the android emojis that gets displayed on my phone when on Facebook etc. Is it possible to have IOS emoji icons on android fully functioning and viewable?
My phone is rooted if that helps

Hello u may extract files and replace emoji icons in APK framework. The app whether is Conversation.APK or Messaging.APK...once done replacing,
u may rebuild it back into systems/apps folder in phone. Hope helps.

You could replace the Android images for the iPhone ones with a bit of apk modding.

See whitefang3456s comment about which apk it is, then simply extract it to your computer then browse the drawables folders and it will become apparent which images you need to change, and you don't need to decompile either so the task is quite simple.

+1. Thanks for helping @XperienceD
@dreamville, U may need:
1. 7zip filemanager to extract, zip to archive APK
2. Adobe PS or Paint.net to edit PNG image for emoji icons
3. Formatter link here to format. zip extension file into. APK extension.
And yes. No need decompile or mess with Binary scripts
Hope helps

Not sure why you need to use that as, just right click and "open with" should be enough.

Some APK files aren't allowed to replace without being extracted or used by APK Manager. In the sametime, changing format of zipped files usually saved more spaces compared to original files

I browsed around the drawables folder, and didn't find any of the emoji. Can anyone shed some light on what folder they might be in, thanks.
I was looking in framework-res.apk btw.

Can someone do this for the Xperia Z? Where are the emoji?

There is a semi easy way:
-Grab your ORIGINAL framework apks that you'll be editing from \system\app
-Use 7zip to extra the apk to a folder and name it something like "TO-BE-MODDED"
-Grab the .apk from a themed version you liked and do the same steps as above but make the directory something like "FROM-MOD"
Within the FROM-MOD folder you'll have a lot of images and XML files... **DO NOT COPY XML FILES**
Transfer all the images to your TO-BE-MODDED folder and overwrite it. You can then .zip up the contents of that folder and change the extension to .apk and overwrite your \system\app .apk by using Root Explorer or adb push
**ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS YOU FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF FC'S IF YOU JACKED SOMETHING UP**
There's also a tool called APK Manager that will use adb pull if you know the apk you need or you can drop the apk in a working folder. It will then extract contents, allow XML to be edited, zip it back up, and even zipalign it
P.S The reason you copy XML files is because they can change colors, links, and behaviour of the ROM and will normally be the culprit for FC's if you overwrite or edit something improperly.

This method will change the base graphics no matter what ROM the theme is based on?
I'd really like to try cognition 4, but I like the Gingermix theme, which is for i9000 roms...
I ported the [THEME] Generation X v1.14 - port [Cognition/FireFly/JL1] boot animation for Cog. that whiteguypl ported into Cognition 3.0 into Cognition 4.1. I didn't add the settings from this theme as I have my own settings but it would be easy to do.

thank you, i know how to load fonts on the phone however i prefer to use whatever is built in. hence why i was asking if there were other fonts available on his theme.
While I have not looked into this version of the theme, there may still be the Sansation font from the original build by D3StRoY & R64.

How do you theme specific APK's?

I was wondering how would I go about theming an Apk. I already know about UOT Kitchen but I not sure if there is anything there that'll single out a specific apk(Launcher Pro for example). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Move the APK to your computer then drag it into winrar. Once in there, you can drag any of its graphic files out to edit. Once your done editing, drag them back into winrar to the exact spot you took the particular graphic file from. Give me a minute and I will tell you which directory you can find the graphics at.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
The graphic files can be found in Res/drawable. There are sometimes several.drawable directories so check them all because you will probably need to take things out of each of them.
It really is this simple. No need for any.special tools other than winrar and a graphics editor.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Apk files are almost like zip files and rar files, except they aren't compressed.to save space. You can open and extract them the same way. For theming you don't want to extract though, just click on a file and drag it out to edit, then drag it back in when your done.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Check the drawable hdpi, skip mdpi because that's a lower Res for older or cheaper phones.
go ahead and not listen to the previous posts. that advice will get you in trouble. do not use winrar, and if you edit a .9 png without patching it, the apk will force close.
you need to decompile the apk in apk manager, make the changes you want to the images. some xml edits may be required aswell. once your done, recompile.
stick with 7zip if your going to open an apk. winrar can cause issues.

what if i want to take the email.apk out of a theme and use it in the rom that theme is designed for? The reason for this is the Rom im using does not have sync all for my work emails but a theme i was using for that Rom does. Can this be done and how can you do it?

If its a system app first you'll need Root.. and Root Explorer..
Open root explorer go into "system/app" and you'll see "email.apk".. make a copy of it and store it somewhere you'll remember.. Fire up whatever Rom or theme.. go back into root explorer.. find your "email.apk" hold down on it and select "move".. go back to the "system/app" folder and place it there.. If there's another there copy over it if you dont want it or else just rename it to whatever(email1.apk for example)
LOOK CLOSELY
You'll see that the permissions are not correct. They need to be rw-r--r--
To change permissions
Hold down on the apk
Choose "permissions"
Select all three boxes going down on the left side.
And the one AT THE "TOP MIDDLE"
REBOOT
enjoi
PS: If the app doesnt show up on reboot.. its not compatible with the Rom or Theme

Good question... You can do that but you'll still have to set the permissions correctly.. Tell me which Rom and Theme.. Im sure your at a PC right now if you want to extract the APK use 7-Zip. It's far better than Winrar.

So i got it to work. All I did was use 7zip to open the zip file of each and deleted the email.apk from the Rom and then copied the email.apk from Gunners theme. Then i used bootrecovery to reflash. for same measures i formated the caches first.

APK manager. It's harder them what people think they are talking about, and it gets write complex, BUT with practice and patience it gets easier.
I would suggest using Gimp to edit your images, and add people have stated, the .9.png are the trickiest. I made a thread in the DX2 theme section, Peperm1nt explains it well, as does Kevin3228.
Good luck, if I have time later I'll link tutorials

Theming and Customising

Might as well start this off as many of us would love to customise our roms even further by creating and modding our roms but dont know where and how to start , hopefully this can be a general guide to de-compiling apk's /re-compiling modifying customising colours etc on most devices .
Website i use for changing and finding out HTML colour codes to change the basic colours in roms here great help especially when you cant find the correct colour code and name or need to use when theming .
I also use this website to re-size my PNG's etc to the sizes i need when modding or replacing pictures.
Android APK tool is a great start for most to learn and figure things out, link to site here
Hopefully this thread can be useful for ALL as with so many devices and different ways to theme mod and customise each individual device we can collectively help each other with the simple and basic stuff to get everyone learning and heading in the right direction .
:good:
Apktool is the only one I have been able to get working with 4.2 framework so it is a very helpful tool and dose have support on how to install and use but I wish there was some way to have a brake down of what is what with the .XML files like what to change and where to change backgrounds and text colors

I'll upload my version for people to use in link below.

Simple answer, I think no one knows on our forum. See if someone did it with some more popular phone. Like S2, S3... If it is done there, it should be possible for our phone. It need some modding, change in some xml if it is even possible.
I think you should find xml for lockscreen in framework-res.apk, and see if there is possibility for font size change. And after that there is question is there way to put it in place where you put it in picture.

You should search all over xda, for GB TouchWiz modification of that lockscreen. And if you find it, you can't use that, our framework need to be moded like that.

it should be in /system/framework/framework-res.apk; unzip it, go into drawable-hdpi, edit files "zzz_unlock_clock_[number].png" to suit your taste, push it into zip, rename to .apk, push to system, change permissions to 644 and reboot

How do unzip a file .apk?
(On your PC) Just use WinZip or 7zip to open the APK file.... Go to your destination folder.. Drag and drop it on where ever you want... Open it.. Make the changes... And put the folder back in... Therefore replacing the original one..
Note that this can be done only for replacing normal PNG or JPEG files.. For editing anything else you will have to decompile the apk and do it

Please use a Transparent PNG file and the white background should disappear
I think you just resized the original PNG file using something like MS Paint.... Just use Microsoft Office Picture Manager or anything similar for this...
Or use the software tool Fast Stone Image Resizer (sorry I forgot the exact name) for Windows.... Its pretty simple to use..
Its better if you still have the original backup of the original framework-res.apk... Because you can't use your new PNG files as you might need Photoshop or any advanced photo editing software to remove that white background.....

Unfortunately no, but there is a long method by which you can use some stuff from the theme you want to use as base. The steps are:
1) Extract every qmg file from each apk within a theme and rename the extracted apks to zip.
2) using command prompt run the following command:
Code:
ren *.qmg *.png
it will auto change the extension from qmg to png.
3) Transfer the pngs to mobile phone and look at the images you want to use
4) create your theme and individually replace the qmg which you identified from pngs with the base themes qmg. That's it.
I know its a tiresome task

I'm still old skool in terms of theming, hard coding the system and adding/changing images to my preference.
It seems the the overlay themes are the direction it been headed for sometime so if the tool is easy enough and less time consuming, I suppose I could switch, plus the compatibility for many more devices and users is quite nice!
As far as converting/viewing qmg images install this to your phone and within the app select the apk of which you wish to view the qmg images and bam! It's all done, converted to png's viewable on pc and everything!
Anyways, thanks again!

I also found out one more way as this alp was not working for me on s7. Further, the above mentioned method is not working as the tool requires you to sign the apk with a certificate which you create with this tool itself and changing the files i think damages the signature. Nevertheless the 2nd way is to rename the qmg files to png. Transfer them to phone and then through the phone edit them. Add a small difference so that you can save it. Once you do, it will save it in png format.
