I was curious if any one knows where the drawables for the faces and all the other emojis are. I decompiled the stock emoji keyboard and did not find them there, maybe they are in the source code of fonts or framework... Not sure haven't had a chance to download aosp code. I really like the icons and wanted to replace the cm emojis with these to give those a more unified look, hopefully someone can help

I know the cm emojis are in MMS.apk but the ones from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857 are the ones i want to use and i have no idea where they come from. I decompiled the app and it only has drawables for keyboard keys and not the actual emojis... which leads me to believe it might be a font the apk accesses
Though i may be wrong.

You're right it's part of one of the fonts. I remember awhile ago I was trying to get emoji working on CM9 and there was a font you had to replace. This thread might help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879056

Hello folks, my first post here so bear with me.
Is it possible to change the default/stock Arabic font that comes with the Note 3? I moved over to the Note from an iPhone 4S and the Note totally outdoes the iPhone - apart from the Arabic font. I can't stand the Arabic font on the Note. Is it possible to change it without changing the English font?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Of course you can, you have to be rooted though, all you need is to
1- pick any font you like (not all arabic fonts work well on JB 4.3)
2- rename it to GS45_Arab_AndroidOS
3- copy the new font to your SD Card
4- using any root explorer, navigate to root/system/fonts, find the font named GS45_Arab_AndroidOS and replace it with the one on your SD Card
5- restart your phone and you are done
It is highly recommended to back up the old font in case you wanted to get it back.

Thank you for your reply.
But I think I need to make clear that I am an absolute beginner with this phone, I just moved over from having an iPhone and am loving the Note, but I have no idea what a root explorer thingy is or anything of the sort?
I was able to download a different Arabic font and it was fine but the problem is that when I choose it, it also changes the English font to something I don't like, so that's no good. I want to change the stock Arabic font and still be able to choose whatever font I want for English, does that make sense? I think I've become too fussy since moving over from the iPhone.
So how do I go about doing this? What root program am I supposed to use? I heard that affects the warranty but I'm not fussed about that since I can't remember the last time I ever used a warranty for anything. How does rooting affect the phone though, will it still update ok etc?
Apologies for all the questions.
Rooting will give you full control over your device, it is something like jailbreaking for ios, for more information, search xda forums about how to root your galaxy note, there are more than satisfying how tos, hope you luck.

Ok, will do.
But just a question about the Arabic font thing, like I said at the moment when I choose an English font it will force the Arabic stock font to be used, and if I choose one of the Arabic fonts which I just downloaded it will force an English font to be used which I don't like. Is it not possible to choose an Arabic font and a different English one without having to go through rooting or do I have no choice but to root?
I went through this dilemma too and couldn't find a solution untill I rooted my device, however, you can keep searching for a font app that does what you want, or take the much shorter way and root ur device.

Oh man, looks like it's gonna have to be a root then, I hope I don't end up bricking my phone.
Since you've been through the same dilemma, could you tell me which Arabic fonts you're using? What are the best ones out there?
I tried a lot of fonts, unfortunately most of them do not go along with all the apps you get on your phone, some fonts are great but they show disconnected letters in certain apps (feedly, gmail for example), recently I am using a font called winsoft, it looks good and very readable. And most of all it's compatible with all the apps I have on my device.
Another one is yaqoot.

Thank you. Where can I find these fonts?
I don't think I'm going to be able to root it, cause all of the instructions I see are for Note 3 models that are in the States, like Verizon ones etc., I bought mine in Saudi and it has a different model number etc. O well.
Can't remeber exactly where I got them from, just dig in for the names in google and I'm sure you'll find them.
Regarding the root process, just go to settings, under general tab go to about device and find your device's model number and search for a root acording to it,
I believe your model number is SM-N900, just like mine

I stated that the problem is that when I use these apps they will change the Arabic font successfully but at the same time they change the English font to a crappy one, so I go from having a crap Arabic font to a nice one but then end up with a crap English font since it forces the English font to change too. I need to change the Arabic font only without altering the English font.
You all know how terrible the andoird emojis look.. it's is one of the few things I envy iOS
I asked a question in this section earlier, but what I only got one response saying it was impossible, so about a day or two later foxhoundrom updated their emoji look..
So I guess I better tell you what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a way to change the way the emojis look to look like iOS emojis..
If you see the first screenshot you can see the stock, and the second the foxhoundrom emojis.
I want to make them look like the ones at the the bottom half of the picture..
Unrelated fact:
Look at the first emoji on the last screenshot, it's nicolas cage.
Still waiting for someone up for the mission, or someone who already know how to do this..
Handcent SMS
well i use Handcent SMS (free on google play) and i can insert ios emoji easy as on ios.
I use PAC ROM and it has loads of cool emojis.

What I am looking for is how they change them, because I like the iOS ones way better then both stock and the custom ones I've seen.
Does anyone know if there is a current mod available to flash the emojis from iOS onto Android? I just personally prefer the look of the iPhone ones. I would do it myself but my computer has been dead for roughly 2 months now.

Theres an Xposed module for replacing SMS smilies, but it only works in the text app. I can't remember if its just for AOSP or not

If youre not a fan of the stock messaging app(like me) simply download Textra SMS from the playstore, which is far better in my opinion, and also Textra SMS emoji plugin and voila! you have all ios emojis! just go to the "+" symbol next to the input box and click the smiley at the bottom. See attached screenshot.
Good evening all, does anyone know how to enable the coloured emojis that are in 4.3/4.4 on out beloved S2 4.1.2 Stock? I have the new Google keyboard and it has the emojis, but only a select few. I wish to have the coloured ones on the Google keyboard.
Many thanks!

Alot of sms apps use it now ie. Evolvesms or Hangouts. You can't get it systemwide though without upgrading to Android 4.4
