This may seem stupid, but has anyone been able to get the emoji dictionary autocorrect thing to work? I can see the pictures when someone sends them to me, but am not able to send them myself. I downloaded and enabled the dictionary in the settings, but nothing shows up in the suggestions.
Thanks for any info on how to make this work!
I used Kii keyboard and added the droid.sans.fallback.ttf file to my system fonts and I was able to see the black and white version of emojis up to iOS 5 I believe. As far as color and suggestions, I don't think that's working. You can download a messaging app, Handcent SMS, and see them in their colored glory just fine.

I receive text notifications fine where you slide to read. same for missed calls. But i never get emails on the lockscreen . I am using the gmail app. Is this why? And is there a workaround? Also i find the keyboard dreadful but don't like swype. Is there an alternative?

I assume widgetlocker or some similar app would allow you to have new gmail show up on your lockscreen, though I don't use any of those. With any jkay-themed ROM you can at least have a slide-to-open-gmail item on your lockscreen--though it doesn't sound like you use a custom ROM at all.
As for keyboard, there are literally dozens of options. I use SwiftKeyX primarily, though it's like $4 iirc. TouchPal is probably the best free keyboard I've used, and it's developed right here at xda.
So Im pretty sure that this goes in this forum if not im so sorry lol. Anyways I had just rooted my phone and what not and I have moved away from the stock texting app to the textra app. I LOVE TEXTRA! There is only one really really really annoying thing about it though. When I get a text from someone I have multiple notification icons in my notification bar if it is from more than one person. Is there anyway to fix this? For example I could have like 50 text with the stock messaging app but only one notification icon up top. If I have 50 text in textra ill have 50 notification icons up to. PLEASE HELP!
I'm not 100% sure if I get what you're saying, but I would say try disabling the stock messenger app, if you want the 50 notifications. If you only want one notif. for all the texts like the stock messenger I'd say look around in the Textra settings. hope I helped
Open up the stock messaging app, go to settings, uncheck "notifications". Then you'll only get notifications via your other messaging app.

As you can see in the picture, I have 4 text messages and 4 separate notification icons in my status bar telling me I have a text from each individual person. If I were using a stock messaging app however, It would only appear as one notification icon in my status bar. Is there anyway to fix this? I hope this clears up some confusion
I think that would be how the app is designed correct me if im wrong though email the dev?

I really want to like Textra, but there's another annoying feature.
If you're on a call and you get a text, if your notification is set to vibrate, your phone will vibrate in your ear as you're talking.
I've emailed the dev and he said he might fix it.
Just got the Note 3 thru T-Mobile..had it for about 9 days. Cant send/recieve pics, even to myself.
Switched to the stock SMS/MMS app and it works fine. Anyone else experienced this? I kinda like Handcent because I can have a LED light notify me of a unread SMS/MMS..stock app only gives me a sound.
Handcent sms just updated and fixed the issue.

I'll check it out.
As much as I hate Handcent 5, I tried it, but no go for me. Again searching for a new messaging app. Stock would be fine if it wasn't bubbled.
Themagicm, did you have any luck?
Yes. Seems to be working for me. I'll test some more and if it craps out I'll reply back.
False alarm. Sending works....some recieving works. Uninstalling. The only reason I use it is because I can change the LED color to notify me of unread TMs.
I just now uninstalled Handcent as well. I went over to goSMS. Far from ideal, but at least I can again send receive MMS, as well as receive MMS over wifi.
The original messaging app works for me though...I just want the LED to flash a color of my choosing. Lol

I was looking at that one, but didn't want to shell out money just to try it as I couldn't find a demo. I know I can return it after a few minutes, but would prefer to test it over a few days. Is it that much better/different than others?

IMO it is. It's made by a XDA Developer. Nice simple interface.

Just tried sliding messaging...swiping left and right to loop through conversations? Seriously? There may be ways to change that in the settings but I'm not going to lose my refund window you find it.
I just wish there was a demo, even if it was crippleware, too go through the options. Looked like there was potential, I'll see if I can learn more about it abd may reconsider

Yea you can change that through settings. It is still different from other messaging apps. Easy to get a hang off. Won't use any other sms app now.

I paid for it and used it for a day. Buggy, UI layout can't be changed only colors, stuck in conversation style, when using dark theme you can't see new message notifications on your conversation list since there's no way to change the black highlight color.
I'm sure it fills a niche and I see it has it's fans, but the sliding seems gimmicky and underwhelming. even with the maximum customization that I could do, the best I could do is get it close to 8sms, which is more reliable and less bloated.
They definitely need a free version, or at the very least, a trial period. There's too much in the app to get a feel for it in 15 minutes, and you'd spend most of that time attempting to MANUALLY configure it to send and receive MMS.
I say all this not to bust on the app, as it may be just right for some, but just to throw it out there that if you're used to a handcent-level of customization, this isn't for you.

I dont know what you did but you can change the UI layout. There are 4 different styles. It isn't buggy for me. maybe bad install for you. I do admit that sliding between messages wasn't for me so i disabled it in settings. In theme seting in sliding menu mode choose fullscreen sliding menu or choose no sliding menu.to change display layout it is under theme settings too. Mine highlight color for new messages show up in red highlight and I chose Dark blue theme. Yea like you say it might not be for some.

Right. The layout, meaning where things are located, is the same though. Just the styling of the layout can be changed. For example, I want my contact picture on the left, so that it's in a vertical list and not alternating.

Ahh. I didn't notice that. It would have made it a bit more pleasant. Thanks for at least making me aware of it. I had done the SMS app search before and came up blank so it was at least interesting to learn about and try something new.
Hi everyone. I wanted to know if anyone knows of a way to make the text size in texts smaller? I already pinch zoomed all the way out, but it's still pretty huge :/
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
I think all you can do is change font size under display settings. Another third party text app may have an internal setting.

yeah the big font size annoyed me enough to switch messaging apps (and for group messaging )
you can change the size. go to the text and use 2 finger like zoom picture

If you're rooted then use xposed framework and download the app settings module. That will allow you to change the size of the messaging app/text in the bubbles. That was the only work around that worked for me, other than using a whole other SMS app. I recommend using 8sms if you haven't found a replacement app or a solution to your stock size.
What's up guys?
I have been out of the scene for a while (so spare me please).
On my Galaxy S6 Edge (that I had for around 2 weeks) it let me use FlipFont to switch to Emoji Pack 3 (which replaces all Android emojis with iOS ones).
Is this possible on my 6P?
It is possible without root?
Emoji Switcher by Steven Schoen in the Play Store works and has iOS 9.1 Emojis. It does require root however.
I don't know if you can without root but ive used this

Thanks to this post it works perfect on my nexus phones u can see all emojis that excist even change the colors of them
The middle finger works split fingers works ! ❣
Anyone else got this working?
does emoji switcher allow IOS emojis to show up on apps like instagram? I don't have an issue with the keyboard because swype has a set of very similar emojis to IOS already, but I just got my 6p and the emojis showing up in apps like instagram and twitter are the jellybean android emojis which are super ugly. I want the IOS ones to show up like they did on my HTC M9. anyone have any tips? I am rooted if that helps
Anyone had issues losing LTE after changing Emojis?
You will still get black boxes with X's in them for the skin tone Emoji. Why Google couldn't add support for the WHOLE Unicode 8.0 is beyond me.
I am currently working on a project that will allow users to change their emojis. It will change emojis system wide and will not require root.
Hey in the meantime you could try Textra with their in app solution? It'll let you use and see iOS emojis in their messenging app. (Replaces your text messenging app)

This is the best one I've found yet it works great. It's a modified Google keyboard with IOS emoji.

You won't need to flash your device to use this.
This is by far the easiest. Also works flawlessly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stevenschoen.emojiswitcher
