Can you elaborate? Is there no font at all or is it in a language other than Chinese?

There is no font at all. the area that is suppose to have is all blank.

That's odd... I know KitKat has audio playback issues but the absence of soft text is new. Have you tried the basic troubleshooting tips such as uninstalling and reinstalling the app, checking to make sure all language packs are updated, including Google Pinyin Input? You can always try an OS downgrade if nothing seems to work. I would try to emulate but my tablet has had better days...

I understand it is the contacts that come from the mobile operator.
As a temporary solution you can use the following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wolfen.deleteblankcontacts
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rachunek.android.simcard

small update with one fix

Does it work with 5.1.1 too?

It's easy. Rename Phonebook.apk to Phonebook.apk.bak in /system/priv-app/Phonebook/ folder and reboot.

Install this Emoji Switcher (root)
It has many emojis to choose from. But you must be rooted and has busybox installed.

iOS emoji without root ?

Hey everyone,
A friend of mine just switched from iOS to Android and bought a Galaxy S8.
She doesn't like Samsung emoji and would like to get back her iOS emojis
I'm not going to root her phone (because don't want to trip her knox, void warranty and block OTA). So do you know a way to get iOS emojis without root ?
I heard that there is a way to do it with Substratum with the overlay "Status Bar icons for Samsung (+extras)". But I own this overlay and I can't find a way to enable iOS emoji.
So can anyone help me find a way to get iOS emojis on Galaxy S8 without root ?
Thanks

up ?

Not possible outside of specific apps that have their own emoji rendering like telegram. Changing system emojis globally requires root.
And yes I agree the Samsung emojis are terrible. My rom uses the Google 8.1 ones which I like much much better

You can install fonts without root. Download an ios 11 emoji font. There are apps in the playstore. Just go to your font settings and change it to the downloaded font. Reboot and you'll have ios11 emojis "systemwide"

Not compatible with Samsung Experience.
However, there is a way to do it with the substratum overlay "Status Bar Icons for Samsung (+extras)" id addition to the app called "Samsung Sans Font"
Full tutorial is available on the substratum overlay information/changelog document

But , we can change the navigation bar with an overlay apk and we cant do the same with emojis, i dont understand!!
Edit: After hours of searching i found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/fonts-wings-samsung-fonts-1200-root-t3710688

A simple way to get this would be to use Textra app for messaging. There are multiple styles to choose from including iOS and aside from emojis it's easily one of the best apps to use for messaging.

My God, it worked.
I used the second oreo option - with ADB and usb debugging - since the app used in the first is not for free

Found a Solution 100000% working
Download Afonts from playstore go to emojis it has ios emojis press download if it doesnt show you the install button down below I mean if u cant press download any letters font you want and then try again downloading the ios emoji font and it should show you the install button press it and go put it in your setting fonts ! It's .ttf and is the only .ttf that works!!! Only for 7.0. Nougat or 8.0 Oreo Unfortunately doesnt work on Lollipop 6.0.1 if I found for lollipop I will notice you bye
Thanks me later!!!!!!

It worked for me but it applies a generic font style for the alphabets, letters etc. Is it possible to use a specific font style for all characters and have the non-samsung emojis as well? For instance, Rosemary font with iOS emojis.

Samsung Beta 5 Oreo Emoji - ROOT (SOLVED)

Hello everyone,
Can somebody post here a file of Samsung Beta Oreo emojis? I mean the .ttf file. I tried to use a file from some S8 beta rom but it didn't work. Hope that someone can help!
EDIT:
Okay, after times of trying I finally get the Samsung Beta 5 oreo emoji working.
Unpack these 2 files and replace in directory /system/fonts
I recommend to make a copy before editing.
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19gucGJhHivUj29JQc92lFjNsp8uDkBV-/view?usp=drivesdk

I've been looking for these 2 fonts for a while too and finally saw this.
Thank you.
Not that it's important but I'm using note 5 and I notice there is still lack of some face emoji and animal emoji compared to what should be, such as zebra... (screenshot below)
How about yours?

I use the Gboard and every Emoji is visible. I recommend to use the Gboard or the newest Samsung keyboard ported to the note 5 and everything should work fine!?
And I'm sorry for a late answer - I didn't see a notification.

It's totally fine! Thanks for your answer. Guess I just need to find a newest Samsung keyboard beta that is compatible with my phone then. ?
