Reset to Google emoji without root/tripping KNOX

My girlfriend recently received the 4.4.2 update, but it's removed the Google emoji that she's gotten used to and replaced them with some god awful Samsung imitation.

I've found the Emoji Switcher app, which seems exactly what is needed, but due to it needing root and after reading various KNOX posts, she's worried about her warranty.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I think you're better off with custom roms than using samsung's defaults anyway. But I think you can download google keyboard from play store and it may contain emoji. Good luck.

I fully agree, but she's against the idea...

She uses SwiftKey and is set in her way, but the 4.4 update has completely replaced the emoticon font with this terrible Samsung thing.

Thanks anyway

In my point of view, I see the new ones in 4.4.2 nicer than those in 4.2.2, but it's all about taste. Anyway, you can't get them back without tripping KNOX, until you can find a root method without tripping knox.

I can create a flashable ZIP for you and all you have to do is flash it, but I doubt if it will work on stock recovery.
