Emojis for Jellybean - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is there any way to outfit the Jellybean keyboard with emojis support like on the iPhone? Currently I can only use emojis in SMS and MMS running codename with a quick emoji button enabled.

You'd have to either get a themed keyboard or download a different keyboard from the playstore

If you have the AOKP ROM, in the Messaging App, you can turn on Emoji's and use them just like the iPhone. You can also insert them.

I'm running codename and I have that enabled and have a button on then side to insert without the need to go into the menu. However I'm interested in something that's universal and could be used with any app such as instagram and Facebook.

I dont know any personally, since I dont really use emoticons, but the one that comes to mind is the go keyboard, it has an emoji plugin, which i think should be what you are after

Dial by name?

How do you enable dialing contacts by spelling out their name on the dial pad? This was my most heavily used feature on my TB. I'm hoping I don't have to flash a custom rom just for this! .. thx!
I know I'm using the exDialer which supports both speed dial (long press a single number) and the dial by name feature. Both of which are lacking from the stock dialer.
I'm also using exDialer and I like it a lot. Way better than the stock dialer.
After you bring up the dialer hit the search button bottom right.

Yes that feature sux as it requires 5+ clicks as opposed to dialing it directly....
honestly there are tons of features that are just missing from this phone that I used all the time on my TB...
like a global search button (?!? wtf google) I never use the google search bar... and I wish I could reverse the home / back buttons...and remove altogether the recent apps button (I never use that either).... i guess my only option is a custom rom? any good ones out there that allow this? Or do I have to replace the launcher? I'd rather not do that tho bc i dont want any lag..... thx!
I use exdialer as well. If you're on a custom rom, there's a cm9 dialer that adds this functionality, but it doesn't work on stock roms.
Use the microphone icon on the google search bar on the homepage. "Call Dave on mobile". Works fine for me.

Yea I'm sure it works but I'd rather not announce who im calling to the whole room sometimes... dial by voice has its benefits but its just not for me I guess..

I'm also using exContacts along with Desktop VisualizeR to replace the stock dialer/contacts launch icons. That way it looks stock but opens the extools.

Oh sweet... thanks!
This was actually something that I thought would be included in ICS stock dialer. Really surprised Google hasn't figured this one out yet. Oh well.
As many others have already stated, exDialer is a free app available on the market that satisfies all your smart-dialing needs. There's even a free ICS theme available as well. I truly love this dialer in comparison to the stock ICS dialer, which was lacking so much - which I noticed right away when I got my GNex. All is well now though with exDialer installed.
Texting as well?
A little off topic but today I transferred all my contacts from my Evo3d to my Nexus. This evening I tried to send a text message and thought I could just type the contact's name into the To: field and have the phone pick it up from my contacts list. It didn't happen. Am I missing something?
thx ill check it out
one weird thing that i've noticed is the avatars for my friends in the contact list is super low resolution for some reason... its the contacts that have facebook "linked" to each contact - any idea how to fix this? It should be showing the full resolution of the image not a 120x120 pixelated image.....
also how to search the contact list for duplicates? HTC does this automatically and suggests that contacts be "linked"..... but on the GN, you have to do it contact by contact which is a PITA when you have 400+ contacts..... ideas? Thx everyone for the help!

switch to go sms pro - its much better than the stock app! be sure to disable the notifications of the stock sms app after u install it.
Pure Android Nexus & AOSP Roms don't include the feature the OP is looking for.
Just to answer the OP's question, pure Google Android Nexus phones have never included the feature you are looking for, same goes for most AOSP roms. CM doesn't include it either.
Seems silly, I don't know why, I always dial people by putting in the first few letters of their name also and the number pops up. Wish the pure Nexus line included that.

IPhone fonts

Is there any way I can see emoji on my phone, sadly I have many friends that are iPhone owners
xXHELLBoy91Xx
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.

Handcent also has them.
Yea but im talking bout to show it on my phone it only shows squares lol

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
xXHELLBoy91Xx
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.

Change from android smileys to emoji in handcent sms

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

Emoji + Keyboard help?

Hey xda! I've been searching around for a 4.2 Keyboard with Emojis embedded with it. I can't code so I can't embed the emojis into the keyboard file to flash onto my phone. Anyone think they can help?
How's this one? Ok it's not a full keyboard, just emoji, but it is stock from the n4 and works on gnex.
Emoji-keyboard-4.2-signed.zip - 2.88 MB
Try a ROM that comes with it. I personally use paranoid android.
I use this one with the handcent emoji plugin. best choice IMO. however, you lose swype functionality, but the colored emojis (Only in messaging and the keyboard itself) make up for that.

I used to be a big fan of hand cent, but I felt like it was slowing my phone down especially with the popup messenger. Is it any better now?

i don't use the Handcent messaging app. the keyboard uses Handcent's emoji plugin. Giving you the opportunity to have the stock keyboard and with one long press and swipe you'll get and colored emoji keyboard that looks like the iphone version

Android stock SMS vs Samsung stock sms

HI, got the kitkat 4.4.2 on my 9195 4G LTE and the stock sms app has added some stupid contact icons next to every message you send or get. I know its a small thing but IT REALLY REALLY ANNOYS ME! Add that to the stupid txt and call alerts that appear on the lock screen... well I really wish it was on 4.1.2 like my old S3.
Well to combat the lock screen rubbish I rooted and used an Xposed module to disable the alerts.
Now the SMS app, does anyone know if the stock ANDROID sms app has the message icons? Or is this a samsung thing?
If the stock android hasn't got these message icons then can I remove the samsung version and install the android stock sms app? (If so where would i get it)
If not, does anyone know how to remo e the message icons? And I have tried other sms apps and don't care for them.
Thanks
Nemo

At least on Cyanogenmod 10.1, the icons are there as well. I would bet dollars to donuts it is on the AOSP one too (as CM wouldn't have touched too much of this app form the AOSP original).
But I can fire up my AVD's and check out AOSP for you, even look as to what version the profile photos were added.
