Hello
I just updated my HTC One to 4.3 android.. It works perfectly, except one thing:
Before, when I type a text message, emoji would appear as soon as i type it, like semicolon and parentheses would instantly change to emoji.
Now, it stays as I type it - it doesnt get replaced by emoji.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!
I would assume that since there's more emojis (probably hundreds of them) and full iPhone compatibility, that's just one of the draw backs. Now between us and iPhones we can see and send full emojis in color, but as far as I know you have to use the stock HTC keyboard and hold down on the smiley button to access them.
And sending these emojis to other android it doesn't show up right, at least to my wife who has the same phone but on android 4.1.2 and sense 5 it showed up as an empty square.

The smiley faces you had before updating that automatically changed when typing were not true emoji icons. 5.5 sense brought true emoji standard which you need to actually pull up the separate key layout list to use. This list is also fully compatible with ios and iPhones.

The problem lies when one wants to use a custom keyboard, and wants to see emojis

Yea, I mentioned that above. You can still see emojis everywhere, but you can't use them. I don't use them often so I use Swype, and when I wanna use an emoji I switch to the stock keyboard. It's not perfect, but it works.

So in 5.5 we'll be able to see and post color emoji in apps like twitter and instagram and also send and receive full color emoji with iphones??

So is there chance to change that to update automatically, as it was before? The thing is that all text messages that I receive and that are not sent with emoji but with regular typing - are shown as characters not emoticons...
THANKS!

You could download a different keyboard and/or sms app form play store or from these forums. e.g. a stock aosp android messaging app and keyboard. or one of the dozens of others out there.
But that doesnt actually display emoji's...
A lot of apps, i.e. sms apps, forums, websites, etc have made "their own" icons to display when you would type a "semi-colon and a parenthesis" together, for example. There was no standard here, it was all individual to the app.
Now, true emoji style icons, which is a standard baked into the Sense 5.5 ROM and IOS does not use the "semi-colon and parenthesis" type format.
Before, when using the "semi-colon parenthesis" style it was not "universal/standard" for example; I could use my "old sense 5" ROM and send a text using a "semi-colon and parenthesis" and on my phone it would convert it to a smiley-face (not an emoji) and I would send it to my gf who has an iPhone and it would show up as a "semi-colon and parenthesis" (not a smiley-face) because it was not a universal/standard way of doing it. TRUE EMOJI is a "standard" that works better and will allow us to see the icons between devices and not rely on individual apps to make up their own as in the past using "semi-colons and parenthesis" that were app specific.. This probably makes no sense to you but I gave it a shot, maybe someone else can explain it better.
I just would love to see some screenshots of this in action in 5.5

I understood you perfectly. But is it possible that software developers didnt keep that option to show smiley-faces. Thats a step backward....
No chance to "re-enable" that?
Thanks!

Anyone who has seen my older roms knows how much I love unicode. I found this font over at the evo forums and decided to share it here. It is a very clean font with things that used to be squares fixed to show what they really are! You can also download an emoji keyboard on the market. http://www.4shared.com/file/OQKqfer4/EmojiFont.html
Remember, to send emoji to different cell phone carriers, it needs to be in mms form.

I downloaded the file and moved to system fonts. I can see emoji but not recognizing any unicode. I am still seeing a lot of boxes.
Hey together,
couldn't find an answer and the official WhatsApp support wasn't much of a help either, so here's my problem:
I'm using a HTC One, all stock, WhatsApp+ v.3.58 and SwiftKey 4.1.1.146.
Whenever I type something and want to add an emoticon, the Emoji window doesn't "replace" the actual keyboard. It just comes on top, which takes away a lot of space, is very inconvenient and forces me to first use the back button in order to send my message. When I minimize the keyboard and then press the emoji button, the layout looks fine.
I have tried it with the normal WhatsApp, the stock keyboard and also various versions of the respective software.I attached two screenshots, one is how it looks after I typed, the other one how it's actually supposed to look.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Updatet SwiftKey to newest version. Same problem
I got the same problem.
I'm using a Nexus 4, tried both the original whatsapp and whatsapp plus.
Stock keyboard and Swiftkey, nothing seems to solve the problem...
Someone found out what's wrong?
I have the same issue with my Nexus 4 and HTC One too.
I've managed to solve the problem by disabling "Pie Control". Not sure if this helps.
Use the official app, when I remember right this doesn't work with WA+ or try to change the hight of the emoji area to the stock value

Disabling the app PIE CONTROLS solves it.

So I am a proud owner of a VZW Moto X DE, purchased during the cyber monday deal. I have yet to receive my phone but trying to hunt down where I can get some of my favorite features of CM10.2 I current have running on my HTC Rezound. Most of these featrues I found can be installed with Xposed modules, but one right now. That feature is the ability to reply to SMS via a popup floating window. This window comes up if you hit the Reply Button in the SMS notification found int he notifiication shade.
Anyone know of a Xposed Module or App that will allow me to have this feature? It doesn't have to be exact but would love some kind of floating reply window so I don't have to excite my current screen/app/whatever
Have you tried Textra? I use it and enjoy it very much.

Check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
It is a SMS app that is designed for KitKat, it is a very simple installable app from the PlayStore that is basically as the dev says, CM/AOKP SMS/MMS Application

8SMS looks like exactly what I want.
8sms is wonderful. Big fan.

Another 8sms fan here.
chompSMS can also be configured to have pop-ups with various feature options.
If you are looking for something like CM then 8sms is what you want. It has popup, quick emoji, group mms and all the other goodies CM has. It's basically a direct port. By far the best replacement I've used. Only thing I wish there was a bit more customization for message threads. But if you like the CM mms then this is the one for sure.

I didn't see that. Thanks for the link. wish the app had the option to toggle between the Light and Dark themes for the messaging app. I usually like the lighter themese but I know going with a darker theme will save battery on a AMOLED screen.
Thanks everyone. Its either beteen the direct CM port posted in the link above or 8SMS

You can select a dark theme in the cm SMS app. Its all the way down at the bottom. I have it installed and am using the dark theme.

Hi guys,
How do I enable lockscreen notifications on my HTC One? I just moved from the iOS ecosystem where each Facebook/Whatsapp/Skype message that comes through gets placed on the lockscreen for the convenience.
I've been searching for it on Google and nothing is working for me. I want it to be ON the lock screen page, I don't want to slide over to the next page just to view it (by the way the sliding feature sucks like hell, its not very responsive).
PS. I'm currently using NiLs but it's not doing what I want it to do specifically. I have to slide over to another page, which is a terrible way to view the notifications.
Thanks!
I'm not sure how it works on stock android, but afaik, on stock KK sense 5.5 you can only view missed calls, sms, calender etc.
Theres no native support for WhatsApp, Skype, Hangouts etc on lockscreen which sucks. I wish Google would integrate this or work with them to integrate this. I think you can do it using DashClock widgets or something.
I have considered getting the next iPhone partly because of this feature.

I have the iPhone 5 and I moved to Android because of the better compatibility with Google Glass. Right now it's pretty hard to adjust to the HTC One because of the great and vast differences.

I am sure you'll get used to it. Out of my group of friends and people I know, majority of them are moving from iOS to Android.
To be honest I am the only one who's tempted to move to iPhone. The things I love about the iPhone are - mechanical switch on side for toggles (auto rotate or vibrate mode), nice small size (fits in hand nicely), notifications on lockscreen, apple care, iCloud, iMessages. One thing is also the way that Apple pushes updates to its phones, in one go.

I tried using DashClock but it still doesn't seem to replace the lock screen. I'd like it gone if possible, or if I could replace it...
Mate, try the ViperOne rom.
It have a tweaks for use the first widget page as default in lockscreen, in fact i'm using it with nils and now i'm trying dashclock
Now i have the notifications like the iPhone
Hello,
I'm having a weird issue that I've been unable to resolve. Android Messages is showing old/outdated emojis compared to other apps. Anyone seen this before? Flamingo, which is a Twitter app is displaying normal emojis. I'm only seeing the older ones in Android Messages. They just randomly changed yesterday.

I've had the newer looking ones since I got the note 9. I can't remember the last time I've seen the other ones. I did a phone reset and the newer ones were there for a few hours and then they changed back to the older ones.

Emojis are also based on what keyboard you use. I see you're using Google Keyboard which actually uses the default android style. The ones on the Samsung Keyboard are Samsung's own emojis.

I think there may be a bug in the latest Gboard beta. I uninstalled the beta several hours ago and the emoji have remained the same.
Issue appears to be resolved.
