Is there any way I can see emoji on my phone, sadly I have many friends that are iPhone owners

Chomp sms and go sms both have emoji add on packs. I know for a fact chomp works between iphone. Also if you do decide to use a third party and make sure to go into your normal one and open settings. You want to turn notifications off so you dont get double.

Download and install the Emoji smiley faces that come in a prepackaged theme.
You can find those in Go SMS Pro, by default or from within the Go Store that allows you to locate and install add-ons directly from within the application.

Yeah,don't hold your breath. It works off and on and becomes broken everytime ios gets updated. I have an ipod I know. Then it takes months for devs to update it on Android.
It sucks I want to see what iPhone owners experience with emoji but since I can't see the emoji I can't since i can't see it.. lol

I have Handcent SMS installed with emoji addon and keep notifications turned off. I use stock messaging app mostly but when someone sends an emoji text (blank or those boxes) I just look at it with handcent. I have used it for about a year and never had an issue with it.
try out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093197
i also just use handcent sms addon pack to send emoji
those steps will allow you to see emoji on your phone only downside is that emoji is black and white and not in color but it works. ive tested it on twitter and words with friends should be able to see emoji in any app.
hope this helps.
** correct dl link to the fonts is on page 9 posted by djcrapsody**
They already showed you how.
Get go SMS pro.then get the go SMS pro emoji plugin and use go SMS pro. Done. Works fine 100% of the time.
Btw you're not missing anything. Its really effing dumb.

I just got my e4gt and I thought I saw some phone with it in the messaging app have a custom skin/look. Like a theme for the texting app? I dont see anything like that at all. just curious as if its possible and how?
I use GO SMS PRO currently, and have used HANDCENT in the past. Both have customizable setting that allow you to change just about any part of the app to look exactly how you want it.
Hope that helps.
I use handcent its awesome

Anyone else's GO SMS not showing the sender's name for text messages, just the #? No issues until ICS.
To add to that ive got a gosms notification in my top bar to say ive got a new message. I can see the first few words of the message but when i click on it i cant see the text (i just get the text box to reply) and it doesnt exist in the stock sms app either.
I have this problem as well, also custom themes do not work at all. I've abandoned gosms for handcent for now at least. It's too bad the ICS theme for gosms looks so great too!
i have this aswell, i thought it was just me. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Yeah - I had the same problem. I've switched to stock Messaging app and SMS Popup out of necessity, but now that I know Handcent works I might try that.
Newbie question, but what advantages do 3rd party SMS apps over the stock app.

Different themes, pop-up notifications with the ability to reply, just far more control in general.

Think iPhone vs. Android in terms of the amount of control one has.

The big feature is SMS pop up - it's super nice. SMS pop up doesn't remove the text from the notification bar, but it does mark it read, which is annoying. Handcent works alright.

GO SMS
Developer is working on update for GO SMS to be compatible with ICS - I have found Chomp to work the best in the mean time
GO SMS for ICS released this morning! Fixed...kind of.
Some of the messages have been linked to the contact, but not all. Can't see the pattern either. Again, only occurs within the app. Quick Reply is fine.
Edit: Just did a clear data. Will see what happens.
Edit: Just received a few SMS. Some are finding the name, some arent'. No pattern that I can see.
I recently tried Swiftkey 3 in order to see if the keyboard allowed the user to see the actual Emoticon when you want to send one in a text. Just as in the stock keyboard, all you actually see is the characters that are used, not the actual smiley. I would like to use some but dont have all the smileys memorized as to what the emoticon actually is and the only way to know is to send the text and see it when its too late. I sent my buddy a kiss yesterday lol. Is there an app or any way to actually see which smiley I choose. I will say the Swiftkey 3 keyboard is just excellent at its predictive typing. I barely spell anything correctly and punch in whatever is close and it turns out perfectly. The stock keyboard changed it to sentences I couldnt even make sense of. Thanks pete
I haven't used anything that allows you to see them. You just learn as you go. You can always text your own number the emoticons though.

I don't think you'll get this from a keyboard, you might have to find a different SMS program that interprets the smiley keys as an actual smiley while you type. I's using GO SMS Pro, by default it doesn't have this function, but there might be an option to activate it. It's free, so you can install it and look for the option.
How does go sms differ from the stock messenger

Go, along with other third party apps, allows you to customize the look of your inbox via themes, assigning individual contacts a specific text tone, and other features are available as well. I know with Go, you can install the emoji plug in that iPhone uses, but only those with the plug in can see that kind of stuff.
On a side note, now that I think about it, Go has a button within the texting that allows you to see what the emoticons look like before choosing.
Edit: I just checked and the feature you are looking for is indeed available in GO SMS Pro. With the soft keyboard down, there is a smiley face button and it allows you to see what the emoticons look like before choosing. Hope that helps.

K trying it out but I have one issue with go. When you send a pic to someone who doesn't have go its a link to the picture instead of actual picture. Is there a workaround for that
Sent from my LT28at
How are you sending the photo because I haven't had an issue like that.
Sent from my LT28at
There are two ways to send a photo. If you click the soft button that says go and select image, that's when it sends a link to someone without go. If you were to select MMS at the far right instead of go, it sends an actual image via MMS.
Have you been using the go tab to send pictures?

Is anyone able to have a dark theme in the stock messenger? Black/grey background instead of white?
I used the mms photo but sent it to an iphone user. Sending to other androids is fine. Thanks for the suggestions. I am liking it so far much better than stock with a black and gray theme downloaded for free.

You can tell that iPhone person to just get an android phone and solve the problem
Well I'm stumped honestly. You could try emailing the devs

Not a big issue just wondering if non smartphone people will get a link or picture?

I was wondering if anyone changed their SMS/text messaging app. I know that with the preloaded samsung text messaging app when I'm in the convo I can bring it up to my ear and it starts dialing. I honestly love this feature as I can tired of texting a lot and then I just called the person up if the texting gets too long. However, I'd like to use an alternative SMS app because the default one to me is extremely ugly. I hate looking at it a lot. So I was hoping to use something like chomp or panzi or something with a better looking theme and better support for emoji with my friends are relentless and not giving it up. So Does anyone have any ideas on keeping this feature? Any sms apps that work with this? I know it's a throw in the dark but what the heck. Thought I'd ask anyway.

The motion features, like the one your talking about are cool, but alas they seem to only work within the stock applications. I personally use GoSMS and I can not lift the handset to my ear and it call the contact unless I use the default messaging app (I switched mainly because of the way it slideshows any MMS - very stupid)
Another feature is the double tap the top of the phone to go back to the top of the page, but I use enhanced email (not the default email apps) and that feature doesnt work either.
If anyone finds a way to merge the motion features with 3rd party sms apps, I'd be interested.

Shucks, I feel the same way. The motion features are great but these default apps stink! lol. I prefer the alternatives way more. sigh.
I have updated my handcent sms to version 4.7 and now in sms i have android smileys which i hate. (however, at the sime time, when I open sms list where all my conversation are, I see emoji smileys)
Tried to change settings to get my emoji smileys in sms back, but didn't manage to. Only figured out how to switch them off. I want emoji smileys back in sms. Any suggestions?
I believe there's an emoji package for Handcent in the play store.

On older versions it was alright. The problem is that in one place (inside the sms) android smileys are displayed, but i want there to be handcent default smileys, not the android ones. But i can't change that, only switch them off. Is it the new version bug?
Why don't you use gosms the emojis package on that work.

I love the emojis soo much. I prefer to use chomp because they automatically switch smileys to emojis

Go to the list view, settings, then application settings, and towards the bottom is the emoji settings. Just changed mine with no problem. Hope that helps
