Has anyone found a way..

To port over the iPhone emoji? its getting a little lame not to have a universal emoji.. but surely if Handcent can do it the system should be able to..

Found THIS
Download, unzip, replace /system/fonts file of same name, reboot. It only covers about 70ish% of emoji. Better than 0%.
Nandroid Backup before flashing... you've been warned.

So it zips it into correct spot or do I have to by hand?

Unzip and physically put the file in the directory listed but nandroid first.

roger.. doing now. Thanks man.

Ok, hate to be an idiot here, but I was taught the only dumb question is one un-asked.. Astro will not move the files or replace.. seems maybe the system is using the font? If I can do this in recovery then I am unsure of how.. little help on the moving of said file and replacing?
Sorry man.. maybe I am missing something?

That is the system folder [internal memory] and astro can't access it, well write to it; you'd have to use root explorer to paste it there.

This. You must be rooted to have superuser permissions (access to write to the /system partition).
Use Root Explorer like roxxors said, give it SU permissions, navigate to your system/app folder, mount R/W at the top right (read/write) and then you can long press on items to delete or modify the apps and permissions.
Remember you have to mount R/W before you can edit, paste, move things into, or otherwise modify what's in /system

Its ok as long as you get it figured out.

Dude, that sucks man. I saw your post about it earlier and how someone said "Did you have a phone locator app?"
I've used locating apps in the past, but being a performance freak I try to keep my phone pretty barebones. Hearing your tale of sadness makes me wonder about reinstalling it.
Wouldn't do much use if the person who took it knows the first thing about Android. Not that I ever would but if I stole an EVO first thing I would do is turn of GPS and do Airplane Mode and either uninstall locating apps or do a factory reset.
But maybe someone found it on accident and it will be at the lost and found tomorrow?
Or maybe this is God's way of telling you to switch to the EVO 3D when it comes out!

Well me being the mini guru I am, keep my gps off when not in use, and had no locator apps, and called my mom to call sprint and deactivate it and but a bad esn on it [which they did]. Its rooted, with all the bells and whistles, so I don't expect to get it back, and like I said, its been deactivated...and have to use a "shudders" blackberry for like 10 days, til i get the replacement. And it may be...

well works mostly.. still a few I still cant see, but it seems to be working! Thanks guys.

Glad that you got it working man.

animation when receiving call ??

This might be a real stupid question but when I recieve a call I get about a second of my normal ringtone with the contact photo displayed and then it goes to a screen with a dancing android man, plays "stayin' alive" and displays some text saying about invalid video ringtone something yadda yadda.....
I'm sure it never did this before and I can't find any settings for changing a video ringtone or videocalls in general and can't find the animation in phone.apk ??
It does it on all calls, with or without a contact photo.
I'm running apex rom but can't find anything in the apex thread to explain this....
Does anyone have this happening or is it normal and i'm just being a tit

That sounds like malware mate. Have you been installing dodgy apps?

No dodgy apps, downloaded plenty of wallpapers and assorted crap from all over the place so not sure if its malware or not ?? Why do ya think malware cos its not doing anything wrong(the calls still work fine) just got this friggin dancing disco droid going on !!

Glad to provide some entertainment lol
I've not seen it mentioned anywhere in the rom thread so don't think its part of that and also I'm sure it was working normally SINCE I installed the ROM.
The main reason of my post was to see if anyone else has this, or has had this ?

Well maybe not malware as such but adware. From the way you describe it it sounds like an app is intercepting your call and displaying an overlay that will probably try to do dodgy stuff if you follow its advice. I would highly recommend going through your app list and see if there is anything that shouldn't be there, especially an app that requires permission to read your phone state.

I don't have that issue but if u go into root explore and go to system/media there a video folder and I saw it has the Android in space video and I think it has the dancing Droid but I don't understand whey they're there. It has them on all 4.0.3/4 roms.

No its not in system/media . I'll try and get a video but I need three phones, one to call it and one to video it!

They are used for the Camera overlay effects. Google provided, so nothing nasty

Right I've solved the issue but I'm not really sure how. I deleted maybe 3 or 4 apps that I didn't really use and I also did a dalvik wipe( for another reason) . I hadnt recieved a call since and i went to video it for you guys and now I have no disco Droid! I think it was the dalvik wipe which solved it but I'm not sure why?
In a strange way I kind of miss that funky Droid now!!
This link shows pretty much whst the droid did but it was different music and the incoming call screen had the contact photo top left and a answer/end keys at the bottom....

To be honest i actually dont know, their are claims that its googles fault, or sammy's fault or even the ICS software thats installed....each points fingers at each other, cant say for sure other then the post i showed u that would be the answer, but other then that, all the card is good for is to store ure movies, pictures, CWM nandroids on it so u dont have to install em on ure internal card. so yes ure right thats all its good for, if u decide not to go the swap ext2sdinternalsd way.

Interesting concept searching.....:good::good:

sometimes even after searching it is still hard to find the answer to a question. it is much easier and more thorough to have a conversation with someone on the forums about the problem/question.
but then there are also times where it is very obvious that the person did not try searching for their answer.

Chrome problem.
I thought I'd throw this out there. I prefer chrome as my android browser but in crashes in any AOSP/AOKP variant. I search this thread and no one has reported and I understand not everyone uses chrome and I wouldn't expect you to. General internet search reveals some similar issues without a resolution. I tried clearing history and app cache. Using default input and alternative results in same outcome.
In a nutshell, chrome is OK until I try typing, such as good search or URL, then freezes and FC.
If anyone has a suggestion it would be appreciated as this is the ROM for me, and I've tried them all (because I'm a flashaholic)...my name is blah, blah blah.
Just a shot in the dark.
Thanks.

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled chrome? what about boot and reboot? My kid had a problem with a game he dl'd from the Play store until I told him to reboot. That seemed to clear the issue.

Help with making own boot animation :)

I figured out the sound part (PowerOn and PowerOff.ogg) now i need to know how to change the bootssamsung, bootsamsungloop, and shutdown and convert it somehow to a boot animation of my choice, im currently working with Samsung Theme Designer but still trying to figure it out, i heard you can make the qmg files in it for the boot animation if anyone can help me out or know another way or know a really good thread with this it would be greatly appreciated ty.:good:
(Also Android Kitchen im using on Ubuntu too and made my first Rom wondering how to use that to do extra things like making another boot animation of my choice)
Im using Rooted S4, SGH-M919, MDL, Wicked Rom

Are the bootanimations for aosp roms simple zip files? Or do then have to be zipped a certain way? I editted out the little circle under the Guy Faux mask that comes with the Infamous rom and I just get black screen on boot during the animation sequence. Without the edits the Infamous animation file works fine on aosp roms. But with my edits and rezipping the files it doesn't load at all.

They are simple zip files for AOSP. Make sure your picture file names are chronological. also check the desc.txt file to ensure it matches. as well as the part0 etc folders. there honestly isn't much to them, really strange how it wont display properly. and are you re-zipping, or simply drag and dropping the edited file to the zip?

I was rezipping. I will try just dropping the files into the existing zip.
I didn't change any of the other stuff like file names or anythinng. I just took the existing jpg's and edited out the part i didn't like and resaved them as the same file names.

I wasnt doing anything more than adding a black box over top of a section of the animation I ddnt like. But I dont think that was the issue because I left some frames of the animation untouched and those didnt work either.

You should take video and make that into a boot animation!
Of course you'd never reboot your phone again....ever...
Good luck with the dentist. Do have someone take video of you leaving the office. From what Im told I was quite the entertainment for about 3 hours as the drugs wore off. I don't remember a bit of it. Though I kind of remember hitting on the nurse....
