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

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.

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

Use Google Keyboard and you'll have a complete set of emojis.
Seems like theming is no longer possible on WW_14.2020.1703. All themes can't be downloaded, instead, it sends 'waiting' message that seems to last forever. Anyone experiencing this? If by any chance. SystemUI apk from earlier version of android N could be shared, preferably from 1701, it would be much appreciated. I'd like to go back to a theme that brings me closest to stock android quick setting appearance.

If you have rooted, just disable themes app, change the apk in system with an older version released at the end of last year, enable and wipe data. If app crashes, wipe theme app data, disable, reboot and enable.

I also tried to install compatible themes (according to developers description from Playstore) with Asus launcher but no luck. I don't have root. Is there another method without root access ?
I like Asus launcher but i hate his icons/notifications

Icon packs does a better job for that. You don't need themes. I prefer icon pqcks from Sourabh Gupta. He updates icons frequently and all his icon packs has 5700+ icons. His latest Android O Icon Pack is pretty awesome. It is paid though.

I'm afraid that's not possible without root unless Asus re-enable the option in future update. I think the transparency of quick setting might cause issue(s) with currently available themes. And you're right, quick setting with the rounded toggles and notifs, especially in lock screen, are painfully ugly.
Hi guys, there's a fresh post https://www.xda-developers.com/downgrade-an-app-android-no-root/ , anyone has successfully downgraded to earlier version of zenui with third party theme support?
I am really missing a font that I used on my s5 with a pack called Fonts for FlipFont 50 Written
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.free.fifty.written
It was written Fonts 10. Several peeps complimented me on it, it was easily readable, and I used it for the past 4-5years. But now these font packages won't work on Nougat.
I did an online font search with a copy of the font, and found some similar, but not that actual one. I contacted the provider of this font pack, but not surprisingly they did not answer me.
I am wondering if anyone has suggestions in finding this font and then trying to figure a way to get it to work on my s8. It's like every available font I've found just doesn't cut it. I think I installed every monotype-imaging font I could find, but still nothing to be satisfied with. I'm using Helvetica Neue because it's clear, easy to read, but it's just not the same. :crying: Of all the customization that we can get, this is the one that I am truly having difficulty giving up.
My s5 crashed and so I can't print up a sample, but I might be able to find an old jpg of it, if that would help someone solve my problem.
Any suggestions (besides joining Fonts Anonymous)?!
Install the app from the store.
Pull apk from phone
Open apk with WinRAR
Your font is somewhere in there, but I'd give a go in /res.
Profit !
Yosemite SanFrancisco (iOS font)
I'm using Kabel which is nothing like what you're looking for but I like it. It does seem though, the only fonts we can install are pay ones. There is an app called foundation which is preventing free fonts from being installed.
I am wrong about the pay thing. I installed clean fonts and neat fonts. They are both free and have some legible but stylish fonts. Penelope is nice.

As mentioned try to find the .ttf or .otf file in the decompiled APK. There are several apps in the Play Store to install such fonts without root.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
I'm working on locating the font within the known app. But anyone know which app could be used to install fonts in the galaxy s8 specifically, without root?
Most font apps I've found (and used in the past) only work up to the s5. Here's what jrummyapps had noted in his FontFix app
NOTE Samsung Devices on operating system Marshmallow (6.0.1) and later (Galaxy S6, S7, S8, Note 5) do not support installing free fonts from FontFix unless your device is rooted
That's why I posted this under s8, but I guess I may have a problem without root.
Yep, so far without root we're out of luck.
bummer, no specific ttf in apk

Had hoped to locate the font to use if I decide to root my phn, but every file in the apk is html except for Roboto-Light.ttf. But the font apk has 50 choices and the one I'm looking for is def not Roboto-Light. wth??? I guess the font pack just modifies Roboto? Make me :silly:
Maybe it's one of these?

Nope, but thanks anyway. I thanked indexmonkey for that post. I've looked at all the monotype imaging fonts on their site.
HATE the fact that I'm practically jonesing over that stupid font! But after not finding it in the original apk, I'm just about over it. B4 I go looney...
same thing here, i'm searching the font "sj secret", didn't find it
I found this apk on a Google search earlier and it works!!!! I attached a pic so you can see it does.

Hi there,
I'm new here and i hope I'll do everything right.
Is there a way to completely remove the navigation bar from the s8? I want my S8 completely controled with gestures but i dind't find a way to remove the comming up navigation bar (I'm on immersive mode).
I've tried to edit the build.prop file with adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" but this ended up in a black screen where only the power options were visible.
I hope you can help me,
Simon
There is no way to remove it completly outside of apps

With root it's probably removable but my guess is is that with no Oreo root for snapdragon yet and Oreo being brand new no one has figured it out yet
You can easily remove it with the draco mod, I use it with substratum and it's great
Hello xda family, One plus roboto font isn't applying in every app like facebook, messenger etc and some notifications as well. Any way to apply that font in every app? I know we can root and install custom font installer like ifont to get that font everywhere but is there any solution without root? I just love the theme ?
Thanks in advance ?
I believe some apps have their apps hard coded so it's impossible to change it.
