If you ever wondering what your iPhone/Mac friends were sending you, wonder no more.
To install: You need root! Download the .ZIP attached to this thread. Make a backup first of the following fonts under your /system/fonts folder! If you don't find some of these in your /system/fonts folder, don't worry.
DroidSansArabic.ttf
DroidSansFallback.ttf
DroidSansHebrew.ttf
DroidSansThai.ttf
gcsh00d-hkscs.ttf
Then, extract the zip to the /system/fonts folder and replace all fonts it tells you to replace. That's it!
For those of you who have your phone plugged in to your computer and prefer a command line, extract the ZIP to an ADB folder. Open a command prompt in the directory and then type:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
chmod 777 /system/fonts
adb push DroidSansArabic.ttf /system/fonts/
adb push DroidSansFallback.ttf /system/fonts/
adb push DroidSansHebrew.ttf /system/fonts/
adb push DroidSansThai.ttf /system/fonts/
adb push gcsh00d-hkscs.ttf /system/fonts/
I'm thinking of modding some other system fonts with these files I found, I will update this thread if I ever do. Enjoy.
Nice. Thank you so much, this kicks all sorts of ass.
This is amazing.
Does this replace the stock smileys or is there a way for us to insert them?
Mms.apk with Emoji support
I lifted the MMS apk from AOKP, which is modified from cm9. Has full emoji support baked right in.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0btrygelu5004f2/Mms.apk
You have to go in to settings and enable emoji support.

I used es file explorer. The messaging app is stored in /system/app
Just backup the old messaging app by renaming the file extension to .apk.bak or something, and then drop the mms.apk in to the /system/app folder. Make sure permissions are set to -rw-rw-rw. Reboot the phone when finished.
Edit: You'll need to have root access, and have "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" enabled in es file manager.
thanks works well
Thanks! I tried changing the fonts but it did not change anything for me. I replaced the MMS.apk and it looks great.

Blast, you're right. I hadn't tried sending an MMS yet but the same thing happens when I try. I'll mess around with it a bit when I'm off work and see what I can do.
Edit: I didn't do anything, and it seems to be working now. I sent a couple of test MMS messages, and they just straight up disappeared...but then when the person I sent them to replied they all just magically reappeared. Now it seems to be working fine.
Mine is working fine too. Try reinstalling the app.

There was a second file called message with an extension ".odex" I moved that one out as well. I reboot the phone too.
After putting the new mms.apk in make sure you reboot the phone. Good luck.

Try this - it didn't work for me until I tried inserting a picture from an app other than the gallery. I tried sending two pictures from the gallery, neither of them appeared. I then tried attaching a image using ES file explorer instead, and that one didn't appear immediately, but it did show up after a moment. After that, I had no trouble attaching an image from the gallery app.
Just wanted to say thanks to you guys. I got it to work after reinstalling it thru the download manager. I have a question. There's a software update for my phone from at&t but when I try to install it it says there was a problem with my software. I'm new to android so is it because I'm rooted? If so can I unroot to upgrade?
Do not update, unless you do not want root again.... Well at least for a while.

Either way I can't because it won't update for someone reason
I have follow all the steps and now can type emoji but there is another problem: My HTC One X can't display traditional chinese and korean character Could you help me with a solution?

Hi! I searched the forums, but didn't see any answers regarding to this.
I'm trying to install the moded versions of SMS and Phone/Contact apps found in Cyanogenmod ROM over stock 2.3.4.
What I did was to extract Contacts.apk, Mms.apk, and Phone.apk from one of CM releases and copied the APK files to /System/Apps/ via Root Explorer (set it from R/W to R/O) and rebooted the phone, but there was no change.
I then tried to install them (from the same /System/Apps/ location) through Root Explorer, but it doesn't let.
Any help would be much appreciated.
If you are trying this you need to check/change permission on each app...the phone.apk will not work though I've tried and got force closes. The dialer and mms apks will work though. The best way to do this is to push via adb. If you don't have sdk and knowledge of the basic adb and shell commands I would highly reccomend becoming familiar with them.

Just put the apps on your tool folder and enter the following commands....
adb push "your.apk" system/app
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Thanks again. I did that and got confirmation that the files were copied, but the new Mms, for example, wasn't installed.
I tried using "install" command after, but it wouldn't let me. I got a message saying that the file already exists.
I changed the permission and everything, too.
Any ideas?

That's odd...I usually don't have to change permissions when I push an app. What version of the cm7 mms apk are you using? I used it from the stable 7

I was using Nighties, but I'll try the latest stable 7. Downloading now.
Just to clarify what I did:
First, used the "adb push" method you suggested and the apk files were copied to system/app. I rebooted, but nothing had changed. I then tried to install the copied files via Root Explorer, but it wouldn't let me. I changed R/O and then Permissions, but still couldn't install.
Then I tried "adb install", but it said file already exists. I changed R/O then Permissions, but still couldn't.
After that, I deleted Mms.apk and Contacts.apk and tried all the methods described above again, but still nothing. The apps weren't installed and I kept getting FC.
Lastly, I manually copied the files again via Root Explorer (changed R/O then changed Permission), but still no change and couldn't install.
Hopefully CM 7 packages I'm downloading would work.
Hello all,
I have a Rogers Xperia play, 2.3.3. (UK firmware, already rooted).
Locked bootloader, and sim lock, so I can't use the SE website to unlock. Hence I can't get to fastboot, and use any kind of clockwork mod recovery etc..
I made a theme in the UOT kitchen. I provided my framwork-res, and SystemUI files to the site.
How the F#$% do I install this theme? I've read some instructions on using ADB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065789), but last time I tried that (ADB itself works correctly and sees my phone) using a theme on the Xperia Play forum, my phone went in a reboot loop.
I'd like to avoid having to reinstall my apps again, yes I know I can get a backup application, but that's not the point of this thread
Any advice on how to install this would be appreciated.
Same here but with sim unlocked, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Rooted 2.3.3 bootloader locked ,i tried 6 times ,3 times without changing permissions ,3 with changing permissions and no result i only managed to change the SystemUI.apk to work and not get in the bootloop and the framework-res.apk makes the phone get in the bootloop
same problem here.......Waiting for a newbie tutorial
Have to tried using root explorer to install your theme? It's really easy to do I had a hard time using adb to install my theme too I kept going into bootloop but once I used root explorer got it installed in a few minutes
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
just copy the .apk's to the platform-tools folder, fire up adb and type in
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb push systemui.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Done

You will get a bootloop, if the theme you are tying to install, has an incompatible framework.... You should always make sure the theme is made for your firmware version, as for the permissions, its only if you use root explorer, if you use adb the correct permissions will already be set

I'm on 2.3.3 UK with Rogers Xperia Play.
I'm using root explorer because I'm lost with ADB
If that's the case the make sure you set permissions rw-r--r-- before you move them into the proper folders. Have fun dude
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Just to ad to @thatsupnow's post, move them to /system first and then set permissions there and then move to the correct folder as he said. That should keep you out of bootloop as long as you use compatible themes or your own cooked framework/systemUI as @androhero also mentioned

I JUST MANAGED TO INSTALL A THEME WOOhOO
now how to do it:
1.copy the SystemUi.apk,framework-res.apk etc. on you SD Card
2.Use a File Explorer that can change permissions (I used Root Explorer from market,pm me for a link if you don't have money to buy it)
3.Copy SystemUi.apk to /System not /system/app and there change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (Be carefull , i accidentaly left rw-r--r-x and it didn't work)
4.Now replace the SystemUi.apk from system/app/ with the one from /system/
5.You will need to restart the phone (i couldn't because many Force Closes so i removed the battery then placed back) and now you have the new Notification Bar
6.Now do the 2-3-4-5 steps with framework-res.apk and this time the phone will restart itself after you copy it.
Where SystemUi.apk and Framework-res.apk go:
SystemUi.apk => /system/app
Framework-res.apk => /system/framework

On a side note to this I had a little fun with ninjamorph and changed colors on some .png's in both systemui and framework-res and ended up with nearly all my apps fc'ing. Couldn't get adb to remount and got a permissions denied error. Then did a adb shell instaed and that worked. Check link for command's:

I'm trying to use my new Sensation with the SIM from my Japanese iPhone, which requires replacing the stock Mms.apk with one that works with Softbank. That much I managed to do. Now when I try to open the Messaging app it crashes immediately, which is apparently normal and means I need to delete the old Mms.odex. But when I try, the command prompt window tells me:
rm failed for /system/app/Mms.odex, No such file or directory
I've made sure the folder isn't read-only (I managed to copy the new Mms.apk to it after all). Not sure what else could be going wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.
Its not a good idea to push files into the system directory of an odexed ROM like that. You usually need to push the appropriate .odex file with the .apk file.
Also could be a permissions problem. You need to make sure the permissions for the new file the are same as what's already in the directory.

I know it's not ideal, but this method seems to work just fine; I've read a bunch of Japanese blogs that explain this is how to get MMS working with Softbank, and people on forums elsewhere say it's worked for them.

How do I do that? I'm pretty new to all this, two days ago I was Googling where to find my Sensation's settings menu
If you want to ensure the mms.apk has correct permissions you can simply run:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/mms.apk
This will set the correct permissions for apps in the /system/app folder, although its worth reading up on linux permissions to understand what the command is actually doing.
Permissions didn't help, but I've managed to track down another Mms.apk file that works well enough - messages don't integrate properly with HTC's Messaging app, but I can send and receive MMS. I'm going to keep looking for a better apk but at least this one functions!
Hey so I was hoping you could help me out. I had a bunch of stuff saved in my mini diary when I flashed 2.2 for Continuum. The new ROM didnt include this app and I lost it. I have the data saved with Titanium backup but it didnt save an apk.
If anyone has the apk that would be awesome.
download the EC07 Clean zip, unzip it and grab it out of there, along with any other stock app you need
Alright so I went out and got the apk from the EC07 clean however when I try installing it I get Application not installed.
I then tried putting it in system/apps which makes it show up however when I run the app it always force closes.
Help me out?
weird, ummmm, flash EC07-Clean? idk I've never used mini diary, just always deleted it first thing
You need to manually put it in /system/app of course, you need root for that

i'm having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 for T-mobile. I tried both ways to restore it, via Titanium Backup and manually moving the APK file to system/app. i got the same "App not installed" message.
What exactly did you change on the permission? Did you change it in Super Manager? Can you post it step by step. How do you even change the permissions? Sorry, i'm a noob here.
Thanks for any help.
I used root explorer to push it into the system/app folder. Upon pushing the apk the permissions were rwxrwxrwx
Once the apk was in the folder I change the permissions to rwxr-xr-x or
Owner: read write execute
Group: read execute
Others: read execute
To change the permissions in Root Explorer you just push/hold the apk in the system/app folder and then select permissions.
hmmm...... i did exactly as you did. changed permission the same as you had it. still no luck. i even turned off phone and rebooted. Can anyone help?

After placing each file in /system/apps ( I always set permissions as well 644). Reboot. you went to settings/Language & Input, placed a check beside it/Clicked Default and selected it.
If you pushed it with adb permissions may be correct already.

It's the native keyboard from Asus with Odex file.
You have 2 solutions for push these files on your system, but you need root rights:
- 1st: by ADB
adb push XXX YYY : copy the file XXXX from your PC on to your system/app YYY of your phone
- 2nd: by an APK as Root explorer, Es File Explorer etc (with root rights)
just copy and paste thes 2 files to your SDcard and copy and paste again to the system/app folder.
After don't forget to reboot your device.
And finally you went to settings/Language and Input, placed a check beside it/Clicked Default and selected it.
