Hello xda world
I recently bought a xperia sp phone.Many of my friends have an iphone and however i tease them because they paid so much money i am really jealous of iphone emojis.I am rooted so is there a way to install them on android?
Thanks in advance and sorry for bad English
1. you need to have a rooted device. For how to root your device, please google it yourself.
2. backup /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf by adb or Root Explorer
3. download the font with emoji from http://www.sendspace.com/file/hwk72t
4. replace the font in /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf by the "downloaded font" by adb or Root Explorer
5. if you use Root Explorer, please press "Mount R/W" on the top right corner to enable the write permission on /system/fonts/
6. set the file permission of the font as below
user = read & write
group = read
others = read
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klncity1.emojikeyboard
or just try then buy (if you liked) Sliding Emoji Keyboard. That's what I am did. ??????

Though I could download and install Graffiti on my Gtab , I cannot select it as an input method. A message warns that personal data may be collected, and if I'm sure I want to use the input method. However, after tapping ok, Graffiti remains unchecked. Another similar app gave the same results. Google gesture search seems to work, so I'm hoping someone here might know how to fix this.
(using: TnT-Enhanced v3.1.4b)
Update Edit:
I am getting the same problem with the gingerbread keyboard.
Hello...
I had the same issue and gaspra over at this post gave me the answer... Hope this helps you out. BTW, there is a free version of Root Explorer in the market.

you will need a root explorer, it's on app market but not free.
From Root Explorer, open the /data/app/ folder and you will find the
keyboard you just installed. Then copy the apk file to /system/app, note
this is where you need the Root Explorer to change the permission for
/system folder from R/W to R/O (allowing permission to write in this folder
by user).
Do a restart once you finish copying the file. The new input method
should be enabled by default then.
Alternatively you can use "adb" tool from Android SDK to transfer the
apk file if you don't have a copy of Root Explorer.

I hope this is the right place to post this. I installed Better Keyboard 8 on my rooted Nook Touch. It works great, but the skins all leave something to be desired on E-Ink. What I'm looking for is a simple skin with white keys and black text. I know Better Android (the developer for BK8) had exactly what I'm looking for free on the market, but I guess they got kicked off the market at some point (glad I had backup .apks!) and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Googling around usually just brings up broken links for the Better Android one.
Can anyone help me out? Maybe there's a skin that fits my description, some way I can edit a skin to get what I want. I believe SwiftKey's skins work on BK8 as well.
Here's essentially what I'm looking for. I apparently can't post links yet due to posts so you'll have to copy/paste.

i use the GO Keyboard, that include the white theme, and that work great

That theme does look great, indeed. I'm wondering if GO Keyboard will let one get around the keyboard "drop-off" problem that Google Voice/Talk has on the N2E (i.e., the last row of the keyboard simply drops off the screen rendering the apps useless). Anyone try them both together?
Short question, does prediction show up in GoKeyboard? Or in any even?

I don't believe any predictive keyboard routine works with the N2E.
We need to try out all the keyboards and find which works the best.
A key thing for me is do they have tab key completion for ssh, also what about alt, ctrl and f keys?
To try out a keyboard apk you need:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb push keyboard.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/keyboard.apk
then NookColorTools to select one of the new keyboards
Anyone know how I can activate GoKeyboard on my N2E?
Follow the instruction above your post.
Or download the file you want, rename it to keyboard.apk.
Using root explorer, make a copy of keyboard.apk from /system/app. Put it somewhere safe (sd card or computer).
Get the downloaded keyboard.apk and put it in the same directory as above (first, press the r/w button on top of the screen when on /system/app).
change properties to 644 (read/write for user, all others only read) using properties of file.
Reboot (not sure about this part, but it never hurts).
PROFIT!

actually no need to rename the apk
install the gokeyboard from market
move the gokeyboard.apk from /data/app to the system/app (i use ES file explorer cause this is FREE ),
restart your device
open NookColour Tools, choose keyboard
Good morning all,
Before getting a Nexus 6P around a week ago, I had been using an app called "Emoji Switcher (root)" to use the iOS-styled emojis in conjunction with Google Keyboard. I prefer to use this emoji style, despite Google's updates, because many of my friends and family use iPhones, and I like to make sure we are conveying the same message as emojis are a very visual language.
Emoji Switcher (root) Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722892
I was looking to replicate this on the Developer Preview of Android N, and after a great deal of headache going through many incompatible apps and methods, I have figured it out and would like to spare anyone else who is interested the headache. Many root file explorers will not allow you to modify the system .tff file that controls the emojis across the device, so I had to get old school with it.
I first downloaded a .tff file from the thread below that includes all of the iOS emojis through Unicode 9 as well as the Unicode 10 candidates that those of us on Android N have on their keyboards currently. Download and unzip the attachment "iOS_unicode9_emojis_Mr.Yawnie.zip." You do not need any of the modified keyboards if you are on Android N! Within this container is the file "NotoColorEmoji.tff." This is the same name as the file we will be replacing, just keep it in your downloads folder for now.
Mr.Yawnee's iOS Emoji Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gene...mojis-t3348544
Next, you will need to reboot into TWRP and mount the system partition. When your system is mounted return to the TWRP home screen, go to "Advanced," and then "File Manager."
Within the File Manager navigate to the root folder --> System --> Fonts, and scroll down until you see the file "NotoColorEmoji.tff." This is the standard emoji font that Android pulls for your keyboards, incoming messages, etc. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE. Simply rename the file to "NotoColorEmojiOld.tff" (Or whatever you would like to call it) and LEAVE IT IN THE FONTS FOLDER.
Now, still within the TWRP file manager, navigate back to your downloads folder where you unzipped the "NotoColorEmoji.tff" file that we downloaded earlier. Simply copy this file into the / --> System --> Fonts folder we were just in. It will not overwrite anything since we renamed the original file.
Unmount the system partition and reboot your Nexus. Your emoji should all be updated and replaced with iOS-style emoji! These emoji are working on the stock keyboard for me, and I imagine that since they replaced the system font they should work with any custom keyboards you may be using.
If you wish to revert, simply reboot into TWRP, mount system, go back into the Fonts folder, delete the "NotoColorEmoji.tff" file that we added in, and then RENAME "NotoColorEmojiOld.tff" to "NotoColorEmoji.tff." You can potentially get your phone into a bootloop if you do not do this step!!
Credits and thank you to @Mr.Yawnie for the wonderful emoji .tff, and thank you to @D_Steve595 for the Emoji Switcher (root) app that I would typically use and have enjoyed so much.
Please go easy on my forum skills as this is my first post on XDA. I will answer and questions as well as I can. I am excited to repay this amazing community with some knowledge of my own!
Cheers,
Eric
@Mr.Yawnie, would you be cool with the iOS emoji font being added to Emoji Switcher?
I was able to do this all within the OS using Root Explorer Pro. Thanks for the info - was curious about this myself!
@Nitemare3219 How were you able to mount system with the phone running? For the life of me I couldn't get any root file explorers to even let me change permissions on anything in my system folder.

I literally hit the button that said MOUNT R/W when in the system folder. I can swap back and forth between the two with no issues, running latest SuperSU beta & BusyBox.
Thank you for sharing these links. I too prefer these emoji. Worked perfectly.
Well I ****ed up... I tried using it on Es file explorer now I need the original ttf ..

1. get a file explorer with root
2. download this font pack here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ont-pack-966-fonts-one-apk-s6-s6edge-t3154336 (or this, link from same thread: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847292972)
3. extract it, navigate to SamsungSans folder and copy it
4. copy the folder + font apk file to your sd card or usb otg
5. open up root explorer, give it root permission, make sure it is r/w and not r/o, and then navigate to /system/app/ (make sure again its r/w and not r/o)
6. copy SamsungSans there
7. change file permissions, SamsungSans folder = rwxrwxr-x, but the APK file change it to rw-r-r
8. reboot
9. you should be able to use any font available as you wish now
EDIT: SORRY just realized you said you're NOT rooted. my apologies, but i'll leave the guide there for anyone who wants to change fonts but dont know how to (on rooted devices)
for your case, due to samsung needing to have some sort of digital signature in order to use 3rd party fonts, the only way for you is to buy them on the store.
