so there are a few specific emoji that are dear to me, and I've found that Samsung Experience 9.0 has completely changed a few of the ones I was fond of. How extensive of a process would this be? Would it involve flashing back to the older OS completely? Or is there a leaner solution?
Just looking for any help at all, your time is greatly appreciated. Mods, I apologize if I'm a) in the wrong place and b) formatted the title incorrectly.
Well, as the S9+ shipped with 9.0, getting it to run 8.5 is something that will never happen. I think changing the emoji would be possible with a wings font package.
????
You want to uphold your second amendment right to bear emoji?
It can be done, but you will need to find the emoji font file from experience 8.5
I'm no expert at this, but I HATE the Samsung fonts so I replace them with the EmojiOne emoji's
I believe default its NotoColorEmoji.ttf but Samsung uses SamsungColorEmoji.ttf
Just to be safe I replace both
I rename the emojione ttf to SamsungColorEmoji.ttf & NotoColorEmoji.ttf
I have TWRP installed and root. So I simply replace SamsungColorEmoji.ttf & NotoColorEmoji.ttf in /system/fonts
i want to the same but for other reason. i like the old way icon badges worked (they count unread messages not the number of active notifications).

Hello,
As my sister is visually impaired, i was searching for magnification tools on an android device.
Her problem is that when she writes a text, she can't see what she's typing because it's too small.
Actually, a fully magnified android interface would be great, but I don't know if it exists...
She has no device yet, because we don't want to spend money for a one she can't use.
So if you know a device that integrates such features, or some usefull apps for visually impaired people... (She don't want screen readers, also).
And well, if an iPhone or a Windows Phone is better, you can say it
Thanks,
Fabien
ps : sorry for my english, i'm french
You could just get a large android device (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Note).
Well, i have a HTC Sensation, and it's not better, because the font size is adapted to the large resolution...
As someone who is in the same shoes, I highly recommend Handcent SMS. Completely adjustable font sizes on every single thing. I love it. No more eye strain or anything.
Handcent SMS is definitely a good option as you can easily customize the text size.
If you root the phone (not for everyone) you can adjust the DPI that will affect every app on the phone. You can see the effects in some of the images here: bit.ly/vfhzHn
So, i've searched a little on the market, and here is what i've found :
- Launcher 7 (for big icons on the launcher, and for its simplicity)
- Handcent SMS (all font magnified)
- DW Contacts (in order to magnify the list of contacts and the dialer)
All this apps helped a lot for my sister, but if you see how I can improve...
Thanks !

^Else if you have a device which has CyanogenMod7 in it, then you may simply use Spare Parts to increase the overall font size.
I guess it is also available in the market for other ROM's as well, not sure about that!

It is available: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droidgram.spareparts&feature=search_result. Another usable app is LCD Density Changer: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer&hl=en.
this is my solution
I made a app these days and now i published it on market
it is called ScreenZooM. Search for it (icon is a magnifier with a big green +)
i will atach a qrcode image

Android versions 4 and below had no support for emojis. Jelly Bean came along with some improved support using font like smileys which were completely indecipherable on a small screen phone.
Now, with Kitkat, Google has incorporated some better support for smileys that are, for the first time, actually usable.
However, what I feel is that the Whatsapp smileys are really better looking as compared to the Kitkat ones. The Whatsapp smileys have, sort of, become the default form of smileys for the respective ones. And the google smileys, be it JB or KK ones, look more like a side-variant to the default-whatsapp ones.
So what I want ask is whether is it possible to replace the KK smileys with whatsapp looking like ones. I believe it must be possible because both KK and whatsapp smileys are image ones. So if the image files of KK smileys are replaced with correclty resized whatsapp smileys, wouldn't it be possible to achieve it?
Further, some skilled and interested dev may make a CWM flashable zip out of it, that may be used with many devices. Obviously, that would be possible, only if the images in most ROMs are stored in some standard place and in a standard resolution, etc.
I am no developer and may be completely wrong. Any person knowledgeable enough to shed some light on my query as to whether it is actually possible?
Here, now that I've asked it... Please reply and let my itch go

Well, as a good XDA user, I did start with a search. But could not find any relevant result.
Going forward, the link you gave is of a Kitkat keyboard, backported to ICS. However, what I want is completely diffrerent.
Let me attempt to explain it in another manner.
See the screenshot below..
All across the Kitkat ROM, emojis would appear as (2). Be it stock messaging app, notification bar etc.
I want them to be replaced by images in (1)
I want it the other way around that the ugly Whatsapp emoticons get replaced by the awesome Google ones.

We're two, man! I love KK emoticons and looking for a way to replace whatsapp ones with those
It should not be difficult but will take some time.
1. Locate where the system emojis are. You can open the APKs as you would with ZIP files. I expect to find them in the framework.
2. Copy the system APK in which the emojis are to your computer.
3. Download Whatsapp.apk and extract the emojis from it.
4. Compare the resolution of whatsapp emojis to the ones in the system. Modify the ones from whatsapp and make sure they are similar to the system.
5. Rename whatsapp emojis so that they have the same name as their corresponding ones in the system apk .
6. Overwrite the ones in the system with the ones from whatsapp.
7. Flash the modified APK using an Update Flashable ZIP.
But a better way would be using Xposed but I'm no dev and don't know how to create Xposed Modules.
Good Luck

Ignore my earlier answer. It turned out that the emojis are stored in a new font of a new format. Check out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563757
You can overwrite the emojis file with the one in that thread
Does anybody know the new font in Android Logo for the future versions of Android? Please refer the attached image of the new logo. Thanks

I already have it. I'm actually looking for the exact one. Anyway thanks buddy.
This has probably been answered elsewhere, but the Lollipop logo font is simply called 'and'. It has two typefaces, light and black. It was made bay a company called A2type specifically for Google. It's license makes it non-redistributable but it can be extracted from the Androidify apk under framework/res/fonts.
Unfortunately, the font is not available as a standard ttf to be installed as a system font on Android. and-light is available only as an .otf. and-black on the other hand is a ttf font which can be installed on Android, but both font typefaces suffer from an extreme vertical offset that causes text to be off center or cut off throughout the interface. In order to make the font usable, someone would pretty much have to copy the glyphs onto a new font with proper spacing in order for it to look correct, which would be a considerable undertaking. Which really is a shame, because and is a very attractive font and would make the perfect compliment to the new Lollipop UI.

Update:
Well, if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. I took the liberty of "fixing" this font, and I created light, regular, bold and italic typefaces. Enjoy!!!
Note, there are a few bugs that occurred from the conversion process which I will fix as I find time.
Download the font here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdk38fti3bal925/Android%20Font.zip?dl=0
UPDATE 5/2/15
I've fixed quite a few errors like the trailing e at the end of words, the percent sign and various alternate characters showing up in the place of certain punctuations.

Did you only fix the Light version?
Hi,
short version: how can I replace orange 'no connectivity' icons with white versions under 4.4 (KitKat)? I've tried to mass replace (in system apks) any PNG files I could find that seem to be related to signal strength -- but either I can't find the right ones or there's something even more tricky going on.
long version: I'm experimenting with my Lenovo Vibe Z (k910). I tried to install official 4.4 update (VIBEUI_V1.5_1420_4_ST_K910_NK_W_E2D0 if that's of any interest) + root + google apps. It seems to work fine except for the one unpleasant issue -- network signal icons turn orange (which clashes somewhat horribly with the rest of the visual scheme).
As far as I was able to google, orange means 'no connectivity'. This is clearly not true (all google services etc. work fine). However I don't really care about the fact that the system 'thinks' it is not connected.
What I'm looking for is some way to make these icons white -- either via simply replacing the icons or else making the system believe that it is, in fact, 'connected'.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I've been able previously to fix similar issues under 4.2 (by simply replacing icon files). However I can't seem to get 4.4 figured out.
So figured it out.
At least on my phone (Lenovo Vibe Z (k910)) the relevant apk is NotificationCenter.apk and relevant icons are like these:
NotificationCenter.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\stat_sys_gemini_signal_2_orange.png

Instead of decompiling and recompiling your apk try using GRAVITYBOX xposed module...are u using a custom rom or the Stock?
GravityBox does so many things simultaneously that it is, in my opinion, a very dangerous thing to install on a ROM that is not completely stock. And Lenovo's isn't exactly stock. I had issues on another Lenovo phone previously.
I tried some other xposed module that was supposed to be able to recolor status bar icons -- didn't work.
Also copying icon files makes them fit not only by color, but also by style. And is rather trivial thing to do really as long as you can manage to unpack/pack zip files (which is what apk really is).
I have a Sprint Galaxy S5. I just switched from stock to CM13 and realized I have different emojis now. I really like the new foods and animals but I cannot stand the marshmallow people.
I know that I could use some app to switch out my entire emoji set but I don't want to do that. I only want to replace my people emojis and leave the reset the same.
Is there an app android that can help? If not is there any way to manually pick and choose emojis from different font sets myself (on android or computer?)
Thanks!
Use an app that supports it. I mean It's only what you see anyone. The person you send it to will not see the change.
I know that it is only what I see. I have a strong preference.
I want a system wide change.I know it is possible, I just don't know how.

Then you will, have to decompile the frameworks apk and change it in there. Mind you some apps like keyboards and messaging apps use their own as well so you may have to have a look around and find them all.
