This is recovery flashabel zip, not ftf. You only need to unzip with winzip, winrar, or similar on your computer. After that you can take wathever app you need.

View emoji icons like IOS?

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?

the result wil be: you can pull out any stock .apk whenever you need one. no need to ask and wait for answer here

I use Nova launcher and I can do it with that
could you please tell me how to change it with nova launcher? I am also using nova but don't know the procedure to change the icons
I downloaded an app called Icon Finder Plus, then I chose an icon and save it to my phone. Exit the icon app, Then long press the button you want to change and it should come up with, (move/resize/edit). hit the edit and then the picture, then choose the icon you want and your done.

Yep sure. Basically all of the softkey images are PNG files stored inside SystemUI.apk. And it's really straight forward if you just want to replace PNG files such as battery, signal and softkey icons.
There are two ways, you can either decompile SystemUI.apk and replace the PNGs inside (harder, time consuming method) or use a program called 7zip to open the apk archive and replace the PNGs (easier, quick method).
I used the second method to replace the softkeys. Here's how to do it:
*Always backup in recovery before modifying files*
Install 7zip
Right click SystemUI.apk and select 7zip -> Open archive
You'll see a few files/folders, open 'res' then 'drawable-xxhdpi' you'll see lots of PNG files
The ones I replaced were 'ic_sysbar_home.png' and 'ic_sysbar_home_land.png'
Drag these two files to the Desktop and open them with Photoshop or any image editing software
Erase the existing image and replace with any other desired logo/icon and save (remember the background must be kept transparent)
Drag the edited files back into the SystemUI.apk archive (res->drawable-xxhdpi)
Then copy the edited SystemUI.apk back to your phone, then move it to /system, change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then move it to /system/app and overwrite when prompted (your phone will probably reboot, it's normal)
That's it!

Use ES File Explorer and grant it root access, then find and long press each of the two files, select Copy, then paste them onto your external sd card or internal storage.

AOSP 6.0.1 keyboard

could someone pull and upload the 6.0.1. aosp keyboard? I am on stock but would like to use the AOSP keyboard since (from what I can tell) is the only keyboard with all the new emojis. I have tried the stock google keyboard and the modded keyboard that is floating around. Neither have the options that the AOSP keyboard has. Thanks!!

There should be a com.android.inputmethod.latin-1 folder in /data/app/ if you've installed the apk

Try reinstalling it. See if that fixes it. Or a reboot.
if anyone is still struggling with this. after you copy over the lib., you need to change the attributes (of the lib) to -rw-r--r
