Emoji Replacement (Android to iOS) - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Just hold that return button for a few seconds and you'll see the emoji button pop up ?

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.

This will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/mod-switchemoji-t3357495
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

[Q] Puzzle Lockscreen Problem

Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get the puzzle lock screen to show the puzzle piece that comes up when you get a text. Currently I have to unlock then go to messages instead of just having the shortcut right to the new message. I am currently running dl09 with blackhole 3.0, but I also tried with super clean .4 and it didn't work for me. I could be doing something wrong when I flash but it never worked for me ever since I flashed dj05 i believe.
Thanks for the help this forum really is a wealth of knowledge

Do you have the puzzle piece lockscreen installed? Most custom roms have the stock ockscreen installed. Since you are using black hole I would assume you knew to pick it during the customization. Unless you did not download and install through clockwork.

Sorry should have said that... Yes I installed the puzzle lock option through clockwork. Whats weird I think is that when i get a missed call I get the puzzle piece on my lock screen for that... just not for new text messages
That is very odd... Haven't heard of on notification working and the other not. Are you using a different app like handcent or gosms instead of the stock sms app?

Do you have the stock Touchwiz Messaging App with the speech bubbles? I know plenty of ROMs switch it out for the AOSP Messaging App, and if you don't have the Touchwiz's Messaging then the puzzle icon for text doesn't work. If by chance you do have it, then no idea what other causes there are.

AHAHAHA finally It Works!!! I had always chose to use the dark mms option on the blackhole build your own. I changed it to the colorful one and it is working!!! haha thanks guys for the help... I never would have guessed that that was what was making it not work. I just thought it change my text message color haha... I love this forum just wish I knew more so I could actually help others instead of just reading and asking questions lol.
Again guys thanks.

kodiak, how did u deodex it?
You don't need to deodex. Grab the 4.2.1-TabletUI.zip from the following link (Post 912) and apply in recovery. Laucher is messed up but Nova Launcher free works great.

you could also install paranoid android, where you can choose which layout (phone, phablet, tablet...) you wish to use, you can even set layouts for individual apps or app groups (e.g. Launcher + google mail in tablet mode, other apps stay phablet)

I am currently running paranoid androids latet rom, and the main thing I'm struggling with is that the 3 buttons (back, home, and the 3rd button that brings up recent apps) are centered, when I want them on the let side. Does the patch fix that?
Also, is there a way to remove the lock screen tiles? I think I saw other threads saying that this change was related to the lawsuit but didn't find anything that allows you to take those off. At the very least I'd want to change the font if I have to keep it.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yes the tablet patch takes the 2 seperate nav bar and task bar and puts them to the bottom like they should be imho.
I dont even run the lock screen so I cant answer that question.

In Paranoid settings, change the UI to Tablet UI (mid) and you'll have the navigation bar buttons to the left hand side like you want.
Also, the way to get rid of the lockscreen tiles is to install Lockscreen Policy.

[Q] Emoji dictionary?

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.

Replace Touchwiz Launcher with Google Launcher

If like me, you dislike the look and feel of Touchwiz ... it is possible to replace at least the launcher portion of it with Google Launcher. This will make the Note look cosmetically similar to a Nexus device. The remainder of the Touchwiz interface will remain unaffected.
For those of us on JB 4.3
Download the zip file from this post (credits @geoworld_200)
Extract the 3 apks but copy only GoogleHome.apk to external storage
Install (requiring temporary disabling of the "unknown source" security block)
Run the app and it will invite use of GoogleNow which you can either accept or decline
Press the physical "Home" button and you can now chose to use the Google Launcher instead of Touchwiz
I've tried this on my (rooted and custom ROM) P605 and it works just fine with no FC or issues so far. But, per usual, YMMV. And it obviously won't get updates via Play.
Presumably the same could be achieved for KK using the more recent version of the apk found here. But I haven't tested it yet pending a 4.4 ROM release ...

Or just use Apex or Nova - which will be updated in Google Play? My personal preference is Apex, and I also use the LG Lock Screen app on the Play Store too.
I'm rooted, so have removed TW Launcher via Titanium completely.

I own NOVA launcher on GS3 and tried on P600 but I prefer Touchwiz ability to show unread FB notification count directly on icon. I didn`t find any replacement with similar feature.

Just place the FB widget on the home screen, and resize to 1x1. Does the same thing. Then you can escape the lag that TW gives.

Thanks for the solution, I`ll give it a try later, but to be honest, Touchwiz on KK isn`t as laggy as older one, at least I for me.
p.s. I just tried on GS3 but when I try to resize I get white little widget without any info on it.
I was excited about trying the Google Experience Launcher because it would respond to "OK Google" on any launcher screen.
However, I was extremely disappointed with the lack of ability to configure the launcher. No, that's too general. There's absolutely no configuration options at all.
One of the things I don't like about the TouchWiz and Google Launcher is that there's no way to control the number of rows/columns and the spacing between them. I use Apex where I can get a lot more rows and columns on the page. And I can control the spacing so I can get icons right up to the edge of the screen. In addition I can reduce the size of the icons for a better look.
It's not like I want to fill the screen with icons, on the contrary, I like to have the icons near the edges and out of the way so I can better see the wallpaper. The TouchWiz and Google launchers are pretty much an iPad launcher. No flexibility and no configurations.

[Q] VZW Messaging App

ESo I got my droid turbo to day, and so far I'm really loving it. I really like the verizon messaging app because of all the cool features. However, I can not stand the way it changes a "" or a "" face to some goofy looking emoji. Is there any way to turn this off? Thanks
Edit: It changes it to something stupid like the second face

When in the Verizon Messages app click the top header that says "Verizon Messages" and then scroll down to Advanced > Settings on that screen there is a check box for Enable Smart Emojis you can try to disable that and see what happens. I didn't test but I'm guessing that might help you.

Unfortunately, that does not fix it. That just removes the emoji suggestions

You can get the new google lolipop keyboard off XDA and have a ton of emoji?
Like this
The default emojis are the IOS style on my DT. I like them cause they're compatible with my IOS devices using the VZ Messaging app. The great thing about the app is that it's just like iMessages without having to be on IOS but yet still compatible.
I like stock messenging app better. Much more simpler and quicker
