Quick question - is there any way to change the phone from presenting emoji as Samsung's super shiny stuff to Google's emoji they built into Hangouts/KitKat?
If impossible system-wide, at least in Hangouts? Hangouts itself shows the normal emoji in the menu, but when you click on it to send it, it presents the Samsung shiny version in the text box.

I have also been looking everywhere trying to figure this out
To replace your Samsung emoji with the Google ones. Download the Google emoji file here
https://mega.co.nz/#!3EAwXJJD!uN8YZdhwjv1XbBIBjQdPFmvbJ2H-EO07V8GLcuNYSJw
Using a root explorer goto system/fonts and backup NotoColorEmoji.ttf and now replace with the one you just downloaded set the correct permissions rw-r-r. Then reboot. This will replace samsung emoji with the Google ones system wide. Just remember to backup your old one in case you want to restore.

Is it possible to do this without root?
I'm amazed you want to change them. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that I didn't have to look at the melted blob Google ones anymore
Tapped it!

I'm really loving the new Samsung white keyboard on my Tab 2 7.0 with ICS 4.04.
Is there anyway I can install this keyboard on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus or
other Android tablets/phones?
Thanks!
Yeah, it should just require you to pull the APK and associated lib and put them on any other device that you want to use it on.

try sticking them in the same folder you found them in. Install the apk after sticking it on the new phone. it will have to be an odexed rom. And don't forget to set permissions
I have read elsewhere that Samsung apps need the touchwiz framework in order to function, but worth a try

Try iFont from Play, that may work.
Don't use ROM toolbox or any other font changing app. They will give u boot loops.
First make a nandroid backup.
Download your font and make sure its the same style as the one you want to replace (normal, bold, italic). It also must be ttf, not otf.
Then using a root file manager go to system/fonts and delete the font that you want to replace. Then paste the downloaded font into the directory and change its name to the font that it will be replacing (ex: Roboto-Regular.ttf)
Change its permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.

First things first, YOU'RE DOING A FABULOUS JOB. Keep up the good work :good:
Now coming to my doubt, Can we use the same above mentioned method to change the font style in the STOCK ROM & KERNEL?
If no then please guide how can I change the font style? I prefer not to use third party applications.

Just go here, and download the font packs of your choice. Then boot into a custom recovery and flash. This works fine on stock rom & kernel, but you need root and a custom recovery.

How do i set the permission 644?
I did all the things but still no emoji.
I get the keyboard but can't se the emoji. blank spaces... :silly:
Edit: got root browser and changed the settings to 644. But no Emoji.
Cant see them on the phone but when i send them people can see them.
I have a solution for this. But I can't post it... odd!

Sorry mate… don’t think so… you see, you have to get access to the system folder i order to copy and alter the files. But if you figure out a way to do that without root… then good for you mate. Good luck… :good:
If I need to root, that's fine. Is there an app in the Play store that will do this? I see quite a few Font Installer apps, but I know that not all of them work correctly on different phones and OEM rom's.
On my Nexus 4 I had a Roboto Light zip file that just told the system to use Roboto Light (as opposed to actually overwriting fonts). Can the same method be used on this phone?
Thanks!

I use Font installer by JRummy. Has tons of fonts to choose from. Have to be rooted. The weird thing about it is, that when you find a font u like, and install it, the phone will reboot, and the font will look the same as it was. You have to go into settings/display/font type, and if u look at roboto, it changes that one to the one u installed. Just choose roboto, and it will be the font u downloaded with the app....
Great, thanks! Is there an easy way to undo this if I want?

Are you rooted?
If yes, then placing the apk in /system/app MIGHT do it.
It's been a while since I've had to do this, so my memory is a bit hazy on if that's all you have to do.

If you do this, best back up the original first.
Also you MUST set the permissions to 644

Put your original Samsung keyboard back and restart and you will have the original one back.
