DroidSansFallback.ttf + Softbank Emoji font - Desire General

i don't think this is useful for most of the people here, but I have inserted softbank emoji font data into the original DroidSansFallback.ttf so that desire users with softbank can view chinese/korean texts and emoji at the same time. Please find the attached.
i also created a user dictionary for simeji. copy the dic into /sdcard/Shimeji, load it as a user dic, and use "、", "。", "?", "!" (double-bite!!) to type emoji with simeji. simeji seems to have a limitation in the number of phrase entries, and i had to devide all emoji for those 4 double-bite letters as above, which seems more logical, in a sense, for daily use.
FYI, the emoji font data is originated from here, http://cova.sakura.ne.jp/sb/ i tried to contact the person who created the outline data, but he doesn't seem to check his blog for a long time and his email address is dead...

i can see sms with emoji sent from my friend's iphone on my desire, of course in b/w, not in colors.
if your desire is rooted, just replace the original DroidSansFallback.ttf in /system/fonts by this one above. i did not change the original font other than adding the emoji data to it. it should not harm any other language capability. the emoji data is scalable and not in bmp, and looks really cool.

Also the emoji in them? Are they matched correctly, at least having a similar meaning?
As far as I know emoji isn't really asl standard, so I'm a bit concerned.

mcdonalds japan frequently sends me promotional mms with TONS of emoji, which i think is quite ridiculous, but i can read these mms with emoji matched correctly.
i am not sure about asl standard, but the emoji code part of the original DroidSansFallback.ttf is left blank from the beginning. as far as msgs are sent in unicode, which i believe is what iphone does, it should work without problems.
does this answer your question?

Most of them anyway... Thx, will try. But can't seem to be able to copy to system. Could be the Froyo ROM I'm using.

put your device in recovery mode, run shell, mount /system, exit shell, and push the font to /system/fonts from your pc via adb.

Thx for this, I've finally come around to install it. It works, but I don't really understand how to write them.

Have tried on Sprint HTC Hero...
... and it works just fine. Some glyphs are not very distinct; these seem to be ones that use a lot of dark colors -- when the glyphs were created, it seems that the dark colors just became black. So I get a number of glyphs that are basically silhouettes of the character they are intended to represent. Am working on creating black & white-optimized glyphs for these characters using the proposed Unicode characters, but this will take some time. Anyone know of other fonts with emoji glyphs in them?
(and lest I forget: THANKS TO THE OP FOR DOING THIS! I've been looking for a way to get emoji on my phone for a while now!)

Tried it on N1 FRF91
Thanks for this, it work perfectly on my Nexus One.
I copied it to sdcard then followed the instructions on this link (do not rename the file) : androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/67518-change-font.html#post616166

you can use fontforge.

easier way for mms+emoji
to use mms with softbank, you need to remove Mms.odex and replace Mms.apk by a modified one in /system/app. The Mms.apk developed in the blog below also has a built-in emoji function in color.
http://blog.takuo.jp/2010/07/android-mmsapk-softbank.html
because of the nature of this app, the emoji function implemented in it is not compatible with other sms/mms apps like handcent.
so if you want to use handcent, you still need the font trick (b&w.)

Can I ask which ROM are you on? Froyo (Android 2.2)? I tried installing this but it just will not receive or send messages properly. Be great if you could let us know, colour emoji via messaging is something I've been waiting for 3 years now.

i am using my own custom rom based on official froyo rom, and i am using a different Mms.apk because i don't need color emoji and need only the mms function.
only installing this zip does not automatically give you the mms function. you need to set up apn and ua correctly to match each other.
APN: open.softbank.ne.jp
Username: opensoftbank
Password: ebMNuX1FIHg9d3DA
MMSC: http://mms/
MMSPort: 8080
MCC: 440
MNC: 20
MMSProxy: smilemms.softbank.ne.jp for iphone ua
MMSProxy: mmsopen.softbank.ne.jp for softbank ua

I am not seeing some emoji properly when using this ttf on froyo.. is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

no problem on CM6 nightly build 209
I can confirm it works for CM6...very nicely... click the link with CM6 and flash both mms.apk and update-fallback

Emoji does not work
I have not tested it yet with people who DO have go sms pro,
but, when I send emoji to people who DON'T have go sms pro, they do not see the emoji I attach in the message, only the regular smileys
Edit: I just read again the market description of the emoji plugin. and indeed it is stated very clearly that the recipient should have go sms pro and the emoji plugin.
In my opinion this is totally useless.
One has to convince all of his contacts to install an app before one can use it properly
That's not the right way to implement new stuff.
Imagine you could not talk to someone unless he had your dialer application....
ridiculous

So you suggest they change the SMS-standard to implement their own type of smileys? Remember that SMS is only text, and it is the SMS-app reading the SMS that translates the text 'colon-paranthesis' to an image of a smiley-face.
Ridiculous...

I am not a developer and I don't have knowhow, but I know what sounds unreasonable.
It is very unreasonable to provide you with a tool that only works if your recipient has exactly the same tool.
Can you imagine having an sms app which messages could be read ONLY by people who had the same app? wouldn't you call that ridiculous and useless?
I don't see the difference

ICS AOSP Email Client

Does anyone have an ICS AOSP e-mail client apk that can be installed on Calk's FC06 rom? Thanks in advance.
Just in case anyone is wondering, I was able to pull the apks (email and exchange) out of CM9 and replace those in the system/app folder, change the permissions to match what they were previously, clear data/cache of the email and exchange apps, and voila, ICS email.

I made a backup first, just in case.
Then I used Root Explorer to replace the e-mail and exchange apks (delete the old ones, you have a backup anyway) in system/app.
Long press on the new versions, change permissions to have all three sections (owner, group, others) checked for read, only owner for write, and none for execute or special permissions. Should look like this:
x x o
x o o
x o o
o o o
Then, settings menu, applications, go into e-mail and exchange and clear data and cache.
Restart and enjoy aosp e-mail.
All worked for me, minus FC18, and it just doesnt send emails, i can sync my calender and all my emails, just not send.
Alright...so I'm extremely new to this. I'm confused. The link provides a .zip file. Where is the .apk? I'm not sure exactly what I have to do.
Thanks oddlou, its working beautifully.

Group MMS & Emoji.

One thing i would like to see in ROMS is Group Texting and Emoji. I see the new rom Liquid Smooth added group mms threading. Now is it possible to add Emoji throughout the phone like IPhones? Like i know i can download Chomp SMS or Go SMS and then download the emoji addon, but the emoji addon only works in the SMS app.. I cant use the Emojis for apps like instagram. Is that possible or do Devs have to port that into their ROMS? Thanks.

I second that! I'm a total noob at ROMs and stuff but I've been able to decompile the SecMms.apk and other system apps and I've discovered there is code for both threaded group mms and emojis. At this point I'm too noob to figure out what I need to do to enable at least the threaded group mms but I totally second this!
Bump please!
There was an emoji keyboard that developers were able to hack out of the jb codes. There was a zip uploaded to XDA, I had that a while ago. Basically when you want to type, you'd change to that JB emoji keyboard and there you have it! can post anywhere..

Group texting is the standard for normal cell phone users and should of been included in android long ago. Bizzare that its not. Telling any friends I want to group chat with to install and sign up for some app is not the right or easy option.

its on every ROM in here except TW Roms they dont support it but you can see them if not then just download and app called Chomp sms and it replace you text app with that one and it has all the bells and whistles you want also if you do install make sure to uncheck the notifications on your stock messaging app so you dont get double the notify
I think Google added the code in JB 4.2 to natively support group messaging. The recent updates for the SG2 models won't do group threads. If you use a a 4.2 rom then it should already be in there without needing a secondary program. I'm running Slim and it works fine.

[Q] Sending and Receiving SMS in Korean

Rooted the phone and am running AOKP-PrimoC w/ Super Sick Kernel.
Is there a way to send and receive text messages in Korean? If so, can you share how this can be done?
Recipients are reporting that the messages are broken/scrambled.
I'm currently using the Korean IME app from the G.Play...
Thanks for the the help in advance!
self bump
i dont know if this helps (hope it does) but from a quick google search it looks like handcent supports korean languages with an addon pack. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handcent.lang.nextsms.ko&hl=en
also it looks like you may need to add some korean fonts to your /system/fonts directory. that and see if your carrier supports unicode. a google search should be your best friend on accomplishing this. hopefully you get this sorted out, it has to be frustrating.
i tried that, and the handcent app does not show up in the drawer.
It shows up in settings>apps but not anywhere else

sms received messages cut into multiples

I am running the stock sms app on my ATT s3 running JB. I am an iphone convert, so please bear with...
If someone sends an sms to me longer than say 4 lines of text, the sms will be delivered to me in multiple sms'.
Is there a fix/setting for this? My iphone never did this.

Short Message Service (SMS for short) is limited to 160 characters. On an iPhone, multiple texts are usually connected into one by the receiving iPhone (unless using iMessage; I do not think there is a character limit). Android, however, does not do that by default. One choice you have is to download a third-party SMS app, like goSMS. I use goSMS and it works really well, lets you join iPhone group conversations, lets you install themes, and will also connect texts over the 160 character limit into a single text.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Are you rooted? If so you can replace your sec_mms.apk which will give you Emoji as well as an option in settings for SMS to MMS which will transform long texts to mms to keep them together. I just rename you existing sec_mms.apk to sec_mms.apk.bak and paste the new one in and reboot. Hope this helps. Link below to thread with apk. I credit to original uploader...
