[Q] Colored emojis on XV 4.3? - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hello friends!
Not sure it it's the right subforum to post this question, but I'll give it a try anyway.
So as you know the 4.3 software has automatically built in emojis, but they're unfortunately black&white, which very annoying on for examle snapchat, where your recipient gets a photo with these ugly b&w emojis.
So my question is actually if there's a way to change these emojis to those KK coloured or these ones from iOS. I'm rooted, and know i might get it if i install CM with 4.4, but i really won't install any ROMs right now. But is there any other way? Maybe modifying the system files or something, idk
I'm btw on Xperia V with stock 4.3 JB, FW:9.2.A.2.5

You just gotta replace AndroidEmoji.ttf in /system/fonts directory with a suitable emoji font file, like this one.
Just rename the file accordingly and move to system, then reboot. Done.

Need i also to change name from "AppleColorEmoji" to "AndroidEmoji" on the .ttf file, or just replace it as it appears?
Sounds damn easy, sure I can do it on just a rooted device with stock FW? Don't need any extra software?

Rename to AndroidEmoji.ttf
It does not only sound that easy, it indeed is!
You can backup you old font file in case anything goes wrong. But it should work fine

[Q] Adding Touchwiz Framework to AOSP Roms Inquiry

Hi Guys,
I just want to check if is there a way to flash touchwiz framework to an AOSP ROM for some samsung applications to work? In my SGS2 before, there is a Touchwiz.zip that can be flashed to MIUI ROM to have Touchwiz added to the actual ROM.
Thank you
I would really like to know that too.. Im really interested to try aosp rom (becouse tablet UI), but I personally doen't like aosp calendar and clock apps..
Open the ROM.zip
go to /system/apps/
insert the TouchWiz.apk in apps folder *MIND IT dont give spaces btween app names as Touch Wiz.apk it will give FC Error alwayz*
no need to remove any other launcher included over there
JUST flash this rom and BINGO.....................
Ive no idea of whether we need to fix permissions on new inserted .apk files
Take that risk PLEASE and LEMME noe if u get any errors
Is there any updates with this?

2°) would I be able to use this framework to make the TW keyboard work on ProBAM ROM?

To make it work, you need all tw framework and its not only in those tw-framework-res but in almost all bits. And so it makes it extremely difficult to port and easy task would be to flash a tw based rom. Much easier

Hi
Thanks for the answer. What I understand is it is not impossible, just maybe not trivial.
Then I take the challenge, I'm downloading the stock rom right now to extract the same three files from it, and put them into the ProBAM ROM... we'll see :laugh:

Sorry I know its a older post, but need information about porting touch wiz frame work so as I can make splanner.apk to work with nexus 7, moto razr etc. so far its the best calendar app I have come across. After trying all available calendar in google store.
So question to you is from where you copied the attached touch wiz files....
. Not sure if anyone has had success since.

Kids mode apks?

Can anyone pull the kids mode apks from their tab and post them for me? I have a debated Tom that I love but my wife wants those apps back...
The only ports I can find are from the 5th and they don't quite work on this tab.
Probably don't need all the apps within the app but will need the kidsapps, kidshome, installer, landingwidget, and parental control apks...
Any help with this would be awesome.

Interesting. I pulled it from the deodexing firmware T525XXUANH4 for t525th. It works for me, of course. Perhaps the reason is deodex. Well, here's set of apk&odex (place in folder /system/app and give rights rw-r--r--):

Well, I would probably be surprised if that Kids Mode began to work. Firstly, it's this version of the apk for Kitkat. Second, it needs Touchwiz. Correct me if I'm wrong.
At least on CM 12.1 I couldn't run a version for Android 5.1.

someone will probably have to have it installed then pull app data for libs folder if there are any. then you would need to flash the /data/app/name of apk folder with libs to the correct area and also the main .apk to /system/app
but then again some manufacturer's apps are not compatible with aosp or cm based roms and need porting to work
(if that is what you are running)

Could U pls put the app link here? This app is 121MB
I tried to downloadt the app by the original installer several times, but it always stops on ~68MB !
Pls don't put the installer file here, my device has it.

Having had a crack at this myself... On my newsed SM-T325 I just got myself. I can only suspect that the clue is in the name seckidsmode... Sec here referring to security al-la knox mode perhaps?! no, not so much as full on knox, as such. But is still tied up somehow in as far as once its gone its gone. At least this is what I found when I tried to reinstall it back onto a rooted, but otherwise stock... And 0x0 valid SM-T325.
You might not care to hear it, but the only way I was able to recover (Twice now, as I write this!), was to re-flash the current BOC1 Firmware on top of everything again. Thankfully this hasn't tripped up my Knox... yet though I need to re-install TowelRoot + SuperSU again, unlike Knox however, you can install, and use this Kids Mode while rooted. But, as to reinstall it again after you've yanked it?
Well lets say that I'm kinda interested to know that One too...

Mute point now... But, I was on Stock at the time.

Good luck to you & I hope you succeed to make work with album, walkman. :thumbup:
Can you provide me with those files u are talking about maybe i try it on official nightly. It would be too lengthy to flash stock & get it.

Ok tried it but no luck. So i tried to do this
Copy semcillumination.apk & semcilluminationsettings.apk to system/app- both app didn't install.
Applied patch to android with lucky patcher - semcillumination.apk got installed but semcilluminationsettings.apk didn't installed.
But on every reboot i got FC semcillumination.apk.
I also copied their permission & framework files.
Note: I gave the correct permissions.
One question did ur lights beat on incoming calls just like stock.
I also tried Xperia Led music app it also got FC
That is what i found on the Web.

Stock System.UI help please!

Hello, Everyone!
I am new to XDA and I have to say I'm loving it!
I know a bit of hacking and such but for the life of me I can't grasp the concept of decompiling or recompiling apk's, i know how to do it but i get lost when it comes to editing.
I am on the new Note 4 (SM-N910T3) and every rom i've seen released for it either has 3minit battery, potato clock ect ect...
Personally i am more of a stock guy and I just want the DOG1 Stock system UI. Stock clock, stock battery, stock drop down.
Is there any way for me to acquire this? Any way i can pull it from the stock MD5 file or a place that has the stock files?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
SIDE NOTE: Does anyone know why when i boot the phone up, stock or custom rom I always get like one vibration and then 3 vibrations... not a big deal really but its just something i noticed
You can maybe get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62368968
I haven't tried it but it looks like he posted a pure stock version of DOG1

Hmmm, Haven't seen that one, maybe i can make a backup of my current rom and flash this to rip the system UI. Thanks.
I was thinking maybe just download the ROM and pull the systemui apk out of the ROM zip. Then possibly you can replace your existing one with the stock one using a file manager. Not 100% sure if that would work because of force close issues.. you'd have to be able to set the permissions in time and then reboot. In any case, make a backup first for sure!

Do you have a particular font in mind?
Here's storopia as an example.
After Installing this module, your screen will relock after every reboot of your phone. You unlock it the first time, in about a second it will relock itself and you will have to unlock it again. If that is too much for you, don't use this mod. This also will not work with the bootloop protection module. It will disable this module.
