You probably wont be able to add any, you can change the current ones by editing the apk, signing it then installing it. Once you open up the apk (with 7zip, winrar etc.) look inside the drawable-hdpi folder. Thats probably where the emoticons are kept.
I can help if you need.

Adding icons to whatsapp
Hey Guys has anyone tried adding new icons into the default whatsapp?
Or do the modded versions allow adding additional GIF'S to be added to the instant messenger?
Thanks

yes i have tried it, but it's useless since the recipient of the emoticon should have the "moded" version too, so that he could see the emoticon

Just wanted to add that Ive noticed the Iphone has new icons and I can view them on my phone which dont have those icons :/

I used 'Formatter' to rename (whatsapp) .apk file into .zip did required changes (replaced one .png smiley file) & again renamed it into .apk
But then, I'm not able to install it (even after uninstalling previous version). An error saying 'Application not installed' shows.
How can I modify .apk files (in terms of replacing only the smiley image files) & repack it into proper .apk file so that I'll be able to install it without any error?
Please help me..
thanks

i also want a new smiley, for example a puking smiley

After modifying the apk i think you should resign it to be able to install it
Check zipsigner from the play store

That is exactly what I am trying to do here.

I was looking for the same & found these.

Good idea, but not practical
In order to install an apk, it must be properly signed and with a password that only the developers know. If you own the app though, you will still need to to decompile and recreate the apk structure by turning the directories of the zip into an android structure, since the compiling will change pretty much everything.
Worst part of it all, if you somehow manage to change and install the app, only you will be able to see it since only the apk installed on your phone has those custom emoticons.
Cheers :good:

how do I put emoticons on viber /whatsapp for sell

Just get your friends to use wechat, has all the emos in the world. Whatsapp is crap

[Q] Problem deodexed some apps

I used dsixda's Android Kitchen to customized my stock rom from CWM backup. I encountered a problem deodexing some of the apps. The following apps are:
Maps.odex
Phonesky.odex
PlusOne.odex
VoiceSearch.odex
I hope someone can help me to deodex this apps. Thank you very much.
Another question, can I include this odex file co-exist with deodex file in my custom rom? Can i delete some of it?
My another question is removing deodexed apps is simple as deleting the apps in "/system/app/" directory, right?
Thank you very much. I hope you understand.

[Q] I Want To Mod Gapps

Hello,Im new here so i hope there was someone here can show me the way and helped me to learn more with this and i hope that im posting in the right thread.Can someone please help me,What app that can help me to modifiying the gapps in zip file?i mean like i want to change its background and some interface so it would look nice for my own private use or even i could share it here with you guys in the dev thread soon.
thanks
best regards :thumbup:

Do you know what's GAPPS? Google Apps...

Market store app,yes?

I don't know how to add apps to GAPPS.. but I know how to update some GAPPS to the system/app..
example: like PlayStore
- PlayStore upgrades automatically
- the old version is in your system/app.. but the newer is in data/app
- so then just find the app in data/app, rename to Phonesky.apk (renaming is necessary if the old app in the system/app has that name) (PlayStore has that file name)
- move & replace it to system/app..
use RootExplorer..
great day

Hello,Good day mate.
I still can't understand the mention.Sorry bro,cuz i'd still new and wanting to learn with this kinda system.Love graphics much so the idea comes when i see the Play Store that usually people do use it for daily apps search and downloads and from there i got an idea that i want to mod it,like it background,colors and so on.What do i need to modifying the play store app?is there any procedure that i have to follow?

ooh.. MOD it like give colors etc.. hahaha
you need to edit the resource files or xml file inside the apk.. open the apk with winrar.. extract.. you'll see many folders and files.. maybe you can repack it to apk again after editing.. rar it or zip it, use the "Store" level of compression, change the extension to apk..
I KNOW HOW TO SEE THOSE FILES.. COPY FROM IT, ETC..
BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE TEXT INSIDE THE XML.. hahaha
study on Google mate..

Do i need any PC program to do this?

winrar, notepad or wordpad (for .xml) (preinstalled in Windows) or gedit/text editor in linux
I think just that

Does coding required for this?

coding? like html or "%2F" is same with "<sth. I forgot>"
I dunno hehe

I see..ok bro,will try it soon and thank you for your time.

You should contact ibanez ...he knows well about it...here is his work about play store....

Not sure if you're rooted or not, but have you tried RomToolbox? I use it to install my fonts, and it works great. The only time I haven't seen it work is when I try to install a "bold type" font. Other than that, it has worked for every font I have used.

It won't work on kit Kat. Rom tool box I mean. If you want some flashable fonts, there's a thread somewhere on here that I made. Either in general or Q&A. Someone posted a link and now I got hella fonts. I'd you're on 4.4x that is

I'm using KitKat.. Beanstalk 4.4 (latest one).. RomToolbox replaces the fonts on it.. I tried Carbon and a few other roms, and RoTB only replaced some of the fonts.. I rem the fonts you shared with me @Nigglenuts.. Those are great, and I'm sure the OP will find one he likes..
