[RECOVERY] Unicode 8.0 Emoji on 5.X.X roms + AOSP Keyboard with new Emoji support

[andrew2511]

This is a simply mod to install new Emoji introduced with Unicode 8 and officially merged to Android in latest 6.0.1 update for Nexus phones. I don't like waiting for the next ota or next big massive update, I simply extracted the font from Nexus 6 Factory image and ported to our OPO; to install, simply flash the attached package in your favourite recovery

To check if everything went well, navigate with your phone to this website http://emojipedia.org/unicode-8.0/ and you should see the new Emoji


Edit 09/12/2015
Added new zip Unicode8Emoji+LatinIME.zip with Emoji + recompiled AOSP keyboard to the zip, simply flash in recovery as usual

Thanks to @F4uzan for compiling the keyboard! http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...d-6-0-1-r3-t3266333/post64205223#post64205223

will they come up on the keyboard, last time I updated emojis it didnt show up in keyboard

 

[F4uzan]

Nice work ! Works fine on my side, I dunno about the keyboard, tho.

Edit : Keyboard won't show the new emoji, the stock AOSP LatinIME (which is included in most ROM) requires an update to Android-6.0.1 branch to be able to use the new emoji (as far as I know)

 

[andrew2511]

An update of the keyboard is required, but at least we can see them

Will google keyboard show them correctly? I know AOSP keyboard won't show them until updated to 6.0.1 sources.

Click here, I managed to compile the newest keyboard from 6.0.1 for 5.x.x, it displays all the emoji, but you might see some layout breakage because of outdated parts on 5.x.x. Just replace the font package with the one on this thread, and follow the installation there.

New font should be already included in Android 6.0

You're welcome

They are only in 6.0.1. The new emojies are not in 6.0.0, they're only in 6.0.1. Can you make a port for 6.0.0? @andrew2511

You can install the pack "Unicode8Emoji_Andrew2511.zip" to enable the support system-wide, about the keyboard you'll probably break things if you flash the one attached in the OP (not tested)

We got support for 6.0.1 emojis on Swiftkey Beta but my keyboard does not show new emojis though.
Changelog says: New emoji now supported by devices running Android 6.0.1
Now I can see new emojis send by other users but my keyboard does not have them.

it's possible to change the android's emojis to the iO's emojis with the latest version of it ?

Hi, as I understand, i can have the latest emojis of 6.0.1 + the keyboard of 6.0.1 on CM12S? So I can also change the emojis to iphone ones ?

About the iPhone emoji, I'm not sure. It requires more work to add iPhone emoji. But you can flash the zip on the first post to get the new keyboard and the new emoji from 6.0.1
