[Q] Changing default ugly green Emoticons - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am on the Typhoon ROM on my HD2 and searched all over XDA but couldn't find any EMOTICON or SMILEY pack for the Android devices.
Isn't there any method to flash and replace the emoticons using a zip file. To my surprise I found no dedicated thread which details something like this.
I want the old school style yellow emoticons..just wanna get rid of the default ones. Someone please guide me.

Pretty much. It's worth having a look in your framework app(s) and SystemUI.apk as well. All you need to do is replace the PNG files with ones by the same name.
I found some very nice emoticons over on deviantart and they look so much better.

Sorry if this is a bit late, but if you're still looking for a solution, perhaps this might help (assuming you're rooted):

I don't remember if it was on ICS, but I used the ADB method to change mine to emotes my friend drew for me.
I did this a while ago, so I apologize if it doesn't work as of now.

You also need to change /system/app/Mms.apk (at least on my 4.1.2 android ROM). It included also 21 emoticons in the Mms.apk, not 17 like in the systemframework).
I also noticed that on my ROM (LG Optimus Speed device), the hdpi icons are 33x33 px, and in the provided .rar they are 24x24

I want all my old smileys to display on x10 mini pro

Hi. I've searched everywhere for the answer to this question, but so far I haven't found it. Ok, I'm on SE xperia x10 mini pro running MiniCM7 on nAa-kernel. Works like a charm. But the stock firmware had 27 smileys, now I have 17 and therefore, when I use standard input in mms.apk, I can add the original ones to the text, but they will not all show up like smileys, but some just as plain text or characters, for instead the heart is just <3. I have extraxted the original ones and added them to both framework-res and mms, but that only changes the ones I could allready see, but it doesn't add the others. I've tried to install the stock 2.1 mms.apk, with same resaults and also change the custom mms (2.3) with the stock in the rom and then upgrading, but that just made it reboot over and over again. So anyone have any solution or ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi.
This usually can be done by completely hacking the MMS.apk for your Rom. I once did it for my CM10.1 too, but it is a bit tedious.
You need to find the res/xml file that stores the layout for the smileylist, and add new ones there.
You can build and reinstall apk's with Virtuos ten studio easily, if you have adb/usb drivers installed and your phone connected to your pc

removed link toolbox->df (prefer the one in busybox)
removed link toolbox->rm (prefer the one in busybox)
changed the default animated boot ADVERTISEMENT and jingle
pngcrushed and zipaligned apks (with the execption of one) to save some space
Kangs:
what isn't.
maybe a few more little changes I forgot.
changes:
from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1:
added a2sd (from eugene373's smr5r1. breaks boot animation)
added default themes back.
from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2
added e2fsck
mySlide-1.0.0-signed

Not sure why you say that (in those words), but this does look decent!
Also, noob question, but are the stock ROMs (apps included) not zipaligned by default?
Yup they were already zipaligned. At least the ones I just checked
Honesty I didn't even look first. The crush actually takes off about 10Mb though.
yo dumfuq quick question... what exactly is required in editing a kernel to allow for overclocking and undervolting?

Not exactly sure if this is what your asking but basically...
You need the kernel source code to edit (the legend kernel source has the espresso board files),
A handy dandy text editor (like vim),
a cross-compiler (There is one under prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain in an AOSP or cyanogenmod build environment),
and a linux environment (cygwin might work not really sure).
1. download source
2. unpack source
3. edit source
4. set environmental variables
4. compile source
5. make a boot.img or an update.zip
Obviously that's incredibly simplified, but hopefully you get the idea.
Ok quick question to the maker of this rom... How can i add the themes back to this rom? I want to put the themes back but i dont kno which folder to put them in. Also which folder is where i can change the boot animation you have installed to stock? Thanks
this actually seems like exactly what i want. My only question is does it support a2sd. if so.. i have a new rom

good question. a2sd is a plus
you don't put them in anywhere. you can download and install them. there's a thread already with a small pack of themes to download and install. You install like any other APK. Search this forum section for them.

The PNG crush killed the stock themes. If you want them back you can either boot to recovery and push the original ones to /system/app/ or just flash this...themes-signed.zip. That is just an update.zip that will copy the original themes back to your phone.

Nope, no a2sd.

Nope. Currently I don't use a2sd, or this rom really. I made this just for an optimized stock rom to bounce back to when needed. Currently I'm running a customized version of eugene's cm6 as my daily driver.
in your experience.. how hard would it be for a novice to add a2dp to this? I did a quick google and found about 3 good pages of data.. but it seems pretty complicated (packing and repacking boot.img looks to be pretty intense on a windows machine without any experience from what i can tell). Do you think i should attempt this? LOL.

Thanks for your answer.
=> it's OK for the clock.

Why the buttons "Clear" and "Ongoing" are in English ? my ROM is French.

Bihariel, can you try updating european version or say me what are the changes it includes? (services.jar)
Thanks
Hi!
Great Thanks for your Theme, it really looks nice and works fine for me.
Im running 2.34 Rom with deodexed and Jit Files right like the guide of Sorensiim.
I only have a few questions and small issues now...
Is it possible to merge this framework with another one, id take the original european one, so there will be more regions chooseable, especially Germany.
What files do i have to replace in the original 2.34 euro framework-res?
only the drawable folders? color folder?
The 2nd issue i have is the display style of the service provider name....in your screenshot its quite big and bright white, mine is small and grey...as you can see at my attached screenshot.
Everything else works fine, also the white text that shows up e.g. when installing something.
Ill attach the euro framework-res, as you can see its a lot bigger than yours, i think thats the missing region support. Perhaps anyone else also wants to try merging these two.
Update:
My tries to merge the two frameworks didnt really have great success...
I always copied the files from the sense framework into the original framework using winrar.
It always worked, but not everything was as it should be:
on the first try i only replaced the folders up to the last drawable one.....
The result was black text instead of white in the notification bar.
2nd try was to copy and replace everything except the resources.arsc
The Result was white text in the notification but the menu test when pressing the menu softkey on the homescreen now was black on black.
The display of the service provider as shown in the screenshot never changed.
If any1 has another idea, let me know....
Until then, ill live without having the german region and some minimal rests of english interface.
Hi Bihariel, can you tell me if its possible to uninstall this theme?. Or can I make a backup of current theme and then apply yours?

yes, you should backup framework-res.apk and services.jar from the folder framework using root explorer.

nice theme bro
keep the good work
i actually prefer blur to sense. blur still seems like its android where with sense it seems to loose that i think
My network signal is still black and so operator name. If there's a way to fix it?
Language is English, but locale set to russian, if this matters.
I installed it via recovery and got a reboot(???) on 1st boot, but now it works ok... gotta reboor it one more time for a check )) framework-res.apk
On a stock there is 5 sticks, and here is 4, when the signal is maximum, it is black. Would you fixed it?
And it is use many power. in powertutor without - 50m, with 1100m
My fimware is 2.34 official
good job nice looking
Working on Chinese froyo ?
Hi,
I prefer the sense jog things and unicolor notification icons over the default ones, however i really dislike the gradient bar. So i have slighlty modified the op's theme: I've put a few icons from gingerbread and fixed the black signal icon issue. The notification bar has also been changed (provider name is now readable).
To install, please first flash signed_sense_defy_fixed (see first post), then push the attached framework-res.apk to /system/framework using adb.
Edit: it seems like every time i update framework-res, the android market FC on me. To fix this issue, just clear market cache and then uninstall the app update (it will be reinstalled automatically from what i can see).

Sorry,I don't have one.
I'm not a developer so i can't tell you if its possible with copying framework-res.apk
Using a 2.1 framework-res.apk would cause all kinds of problems, including stopping your phone from working.
It is theoretically possible to take the old SE lockscreen from stock 2.1 and put it onto this rom. Essentially you need to take the various smali, xml and png files that define it from the old rom and use them to overwrite the sliding tab files in the new rom.
If you just want the look, you may be better off theming the sliding tab lockscreen with the images from the original.

What if I copy framework-res.apk from sony style v1.1 ROM (2.3.7).... would it also cause any problem??
Sorry I am a noob
Well, you can try but there's a good chance it might not work.
Framework-res.apk contains a whole mess of files that define how your phone's interface works. It controls the layout of various elements and does all kinds of things.
Both rom's use GB and CM7 so that's promising, but you could have a few display issues.
In fact, now that I think about it, you're also going to need the services.jar as well as that's where the lockscreen smali file is kept.
Certainly, give it a try but just be prepared for it to go wrong. Make sure you backup first!
Or, why not try just using SonyStyle instead?

[Q] How to use Xperia keyboard on CM9?

I have Xperia U and I really like Xperia keyboard with alpha numeric T9, works great when typing in my language and for me QWERTY is too narrow on 3.5".
Thing is that I want to install CM9 and use it as only ROM. Maybe not right now but I'm planing to use CM9 and only CM9. I did find some Xperia keyboards in different topics about swype witch is not important to me.
My question is, what do I need to copy from my phone (C.1.0 ROM) to CM9 to have complete Xperia keyboard with "My words" list?
System/app/textinput-tng.apk, System/lib/libXT9Engine.so and System/usr/xt9
Copy those 2 files and folder to same locations in your phone, set appropriate permissions and it should work Best of luck Let me know how it works out !
Cheers
It seems to work fine. I lost my words but not a big deal.
Except these files you suggested, I copied few more layouts that I found in usr folder. I don't know if that changed anything but it looked like could be part of keyboard.
Thank you for your help.
Glad to be of service Cheers
Does anybody know where is the file that holds "my words"? I would like to be able to backup and edit that file because I often change ROMs.

i think its a hard coded lockscreen, you have to uncompile lockscreen and change xml values to restore position, change font, etc.. i recommend uncompiling an aosp version of lockscreen and comparing xml values with our lockscreen to set right position and font, also in case you dont know, im talking about decompiling using apk tool, not the normal apk extraction, because you need the xml files
I don't have enough time and knowledge.. ;/
