[TUTORIAL] How to add Emoji support to Xperia Keyboards.

[niaboc79]

Introduction

As you know the emoji are only working if you are using KitKat rom normally.

Today I will show you how to edit the International Xperia Keyboard to be able to use emoji also with Jelly Bean rom.

Tutorial

• Download latest Xperia Keyboard, there are a lot available on the forum.
• Decompile it with apktool as usual (I won't explain how to use apktool).
• Open smali/com/sonyericsson/textinput/uxp/configuration/TextInputRequirements.smali
• Search this method:
  

  .method private getSymbolsType(Landroid/content/res/Resources;)Ljava/lang/String;

• In that method replace the word smiley by emoji like this:
  

  .method private getSymbolsType(Landroid/content/res/Resources;)Ljava/lang/String;
      .locals 2
      .param p1, "res"    # Landroid/content/res/Resources;
  
      .prologue
      .line 222
      sget v0, Landroid/os/Build$VERSION;->SDK_INT:I
  
      const/16 v1, 0x13
  
      if-lt v0, v1, :cond_0
  
      .line 228
      const v0, 0x7f0a0003
  
      invoke-virtual {p1, v0}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getString(I)Ljava/lang/String;
  
      move-result-object v0
  
      .line 230
      :goto_0
      return-object v0
  
      :cond_0
      const-string v0, "[COLOR="Green"]emoji[/COLOR]"
  
      goto :goto_0
  .end method

• Recompile and sign apk
• Done
