[SOLVED] How can I convert text emoticons to emoji? - Android General

Hello, I have a problem with emoticons:
I'm on a Nexus 5 running android 5.1, when I send a sms with emoticons, my friend can only see white squares.
On his old samsung phone, he has got these emoticons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can I get these so that we can both display emoticons?
EDIT: Is there a way to convert text emoji into graphical equivalents like this?
Thank you

SOLVED
Found this app that called 8sms does what I want.
It also comes in beta with Material Design. You can check it out here.
It works great on Lollipop 5.1

[Q] Whatsapp and avatar colors

Just wondering.
I noticed that whatsapp uses different colors for contact avatars (if no image is attached).
On my phone all contact avatars are green:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But they are red on a friends phone (same phone/rom) and today I installed whatsapp on my sister's phone and she got blue avatars.
Does anyone know what determines this color? Can it be changed?
Suprisingly enough, I couldn't find anything about this.
edit: Whoops, wrong forum

[APP][2.3+] Kik With KitKat Smileys

Hi guys ! I have modded the messaging app Kik and changed the regular (boring lol) smiley faces to the actual Google KitKat emoji, like the ones in Hangouts. *If you still see the regular smileys, that is because you have an XXHDPI device, which I have not added the emojis for yet*

Uninstall Kik already on your device, then Install my version.

[APP] Simple RPN Calculator

I've developed my first app.
It's a very simple RPN calculator.
I've tried to mimic the Android L animations at the keyboard.
Take a look, report for me if you find any bug..
Any suggestions are welcome also.
I still don't have an icon to the app, if someone can help me with it I'll appreciate .
The app min SDK requirement is 14..it will not run on GB, only on ICS and up..

Similar MMS app to default Samsung MMS

Hello, I have been wanting to use some stock android ROMs like CM11 but the one thing that keeps me with Samsung roms is the samsung mms app. I like how it has the preview on the lockscreen and I can see who has messaged me without unlocking the phone, like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does anyone know a similar mms app on the android market that has this feature? Since you cannot install that one on cm11...

Question Google Messages and iOS Reactions

Hi,
Since switching to my Pixel from my S21U, Google Messages is no longer "translating" iOS reactions like it should. The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with me using dual SIM now, but I have the setting enabled (for both SIMs/lines):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But iOS reactions are still coming through like this:
Instead of like this:
Any ideas? Running the latest version available of Google Messages. Thanks.
