I know this is not a SGS2 specific question, but I'm on UnNamed and want to make sure I do things the right way...is there some way to replace the stupid green android smileys with something more normal? I can't even tell the difference between these green guys...

For messaging I presume? Use apk manager to extract the apk and replace the emoticon images with the ones of your choice. I use the ones from GO SMS, which are much better imo. I can provide a more detailed step by step if you'd like to do it.

Use the instructions from this post. I've also attached a zip of the emoticons I use (not flashable). Give it a try and report back. I'll do it if you have difficulty and we can see where you went wrong.

There are 17 images to replace in drawable-hdpi. There's also one (the "embarassed" emoticon) in the drawable folder; you have to replace this one as well. The images in my zip are appropriately named, so just drag and drop.

Good luck.

Its easy to do and use the ICS emoticons but they have to be replaced in the framework as well as mms.apk.

I would love to see someone put together a flashable apk or zip with the included icons. I can not remember where I found them but would love to have them in my mms app. If I can figure it out Ill post it up here.

this is where I get confused - I downloaded that mms.apk file, and when I tried opening it on my phone it said it was would replace the default on the phone. I wasn't sure what it would be replacing, so i waited till I could ask someone.

Do i just install that mms.apk file and it'll change the smileys to the black ones? orrrrr is there more that i need to do?!

Please advise!

You need to use root explorer and move the Mms.apk to system/app
Make sure to backup your old one (rename it to something like mms.apk.old)
first and when you move the one with the black smileys it will ask if you want to overwrite.

Then reboot and you should be good to go.

    Hi, guys.
    There were some ugly smiley icons on my Samsung Galaxy Note running stock ICS, so I replaced them with GOSMS icons, but then I discovered that four icons remain stock.
    So I opened photoshop and draw them manually)

    Here are my smiles attached, feel free to use them)

    Actually, I've found emoticons to be app dependent.
