[Q] Emojis in stock messaging app? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm using the stock messaging app (with the Venom rom) and I don't see any way to use emojis in the stock Messaging app. I'm using SwiftKey if that matters. Does the app support sending emojis? If so, how?

DL an emoji keyboard

Emoji is a keybord. You can download from here.

You shouldn't even need to download a new keyboard. The stock keyboard has emojis built in. Just switch to it when you want to send emojis and switch back to Swiftkey when you're done.

MIUI has emoji support, if I'm not mistaken. When going through some system files during theming I saw a ton of emoji files (I think it was in the systemui apk, but I don't remember), and I believe that I read that it's a part of the rom. I've never used emoji, so I can't tell you from experience.

I wasn't aware instagram had integrated emoji, sounds like you need a keyboard with the functionality then. I don't know of any.
go keyboard has emoji plugin.

Why do people do all this emoji flashing when they could just download a keyboard like Kii Keyboard and use emoji's with no flashing? ???

i'm not sure about Kii keyboard or any other third party keyboard with emoji support, but the 4.2.2/4.3 Emoji keyboard that comes with Nexus devices (the iWnn IME keyboard) has access to the emoji that were implemented system-wide in Jelly Bean. i believe Kii keyboard requires the Handcent (sp?) emoji plugin to send and view emojis, so if you're sending a text message to someone without that plugin there's a chance they won't see the emoji unless its been implemented in Android (or an equivalent for iOS).
there is a half-decent work around if you have the google keyboard installed via the play store. if you download the emoji dictionary you can type in the type of emoji (eg: cloud, or smile) and it will show the emoji as an option for autocorrect.

[Q] Google Keyboard Emojis only on Hangouts

I wonder why the emojis only show up when I use the Hangouts app (use at as default for SMS) but not any other app in the system. Is there something I could install or flash to make the same emoji option appear on every app that has a keyboard capable funcition? Sorry in advance if I haven't seen a thread with my answer already (searched everywhere + google)

You have forgotten to let everyone know whether or not
you have already downloaded the Emoji keyboard?
If you have not yet installed an Emoji keyboard then here is the direct
download link to the playstore if you want to download and install the
Emoji Keyboard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klncity1.emojikeyboard&hl=en
(it's a free app)
Good luck

The one in my previous post is for all versions, if it's not compatible
with your rom or your phone the play store will not allow you to
download it......... I just edited my reply to you to include the
download link.
Good luck!
I have installed Emoji keyboard already sorry for not mentioning but I'm in love with the Google keyboards emojis in the Hangouts app

If you are on 4.4, then you will see the colored one that are in hangouts.
If you are on TouchWiz 4.3, you will see a touchwiz version of the colored ones.
If you are on 4.1 - 4.2 then you will see black and white emojis.
SwiftKey also has emojis which work system wide

This isn't entirely true, I'm on 4.4 on my Note 3 with the Google Keyboard installed and in the Hangouts app it shows the Google emoji's but as soon as I tap on one, it comes up in the text box as the stock Samsung ones, This is the same issue on my girlfriends S4 with the Google Keyboard.
Is there anyway to switch the system emoji's to the Hangouts ones from Google? I don't like the Samsung ones after siwtching from the Note 2 which was running BAM Android (AOSP), so it had the Hangouts ones built in.
I noticed this on the Nexus 5 that it has the Hangouts emoji stock because it's AOSP, but as soon as you go on any other ROM that's not a true AOSP it reverts to the stock system emoji despite the keyboard selection.

[Q] Can I restore the Hangouts emoji to stock 4.4.2?

I really liked the emoji in the Google Hangouts app, which I had when I was on 4.3 (the faces kind of look like yellow diglets?) The 4.4.2 update, however, imposed Samsung's version of the emoji, which aren't really that attractive... Is there any way to restore the Hangouts version of the emoji in stock 4.4.2?

if you have root, get the app emoji switcher. it lets you choose between Samsung, Google and iOS emojis.

Awesome, works great! :highfive:
I really don't like Samsung's new emojis either.
