Thanks for the monochrome toggle @ade. The colored ones looks weird on SFOS imho.

Sound like the usual "pkcon refresh" as root in the terminal for a cure.

Would it be possible to show the emoji as they are printed? I.e. in monochrome.

Install an older version? Colored emoji was intruduced a few releases back in favor of the monochrome version. I could have I look if it can be made configurable, but only if it is easy to implement. Or of course create a PR for that yourself.
Edit: Okay, your wish has been granted, from version 0.4.5-0 on you can toggle between monochrome and colored emojis.

Thanks a lot for providing us this obviously great replacement. Unfortunately I'm seeing: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla/custom_emoji/emoji/X.gif;5ce2db97: cpio: read failed - File exists No matter what way I choose to install (pkcon install-local, rpm -if, filebrowser and UI). I'm running vanilla flashed Hossa, 3.0.3.9 (and your latest 0.4.4-3). Any hints highly appreciated! Thanks, -Mano

Had to use 'X' in my comment, since the actual unicode character (a car) can't be posted here (site error).
Meanwhile I tried 0.4.4-2, where I don't see any error. But upgrading also fails... So 0.4.4-3 doesn't work here.
Thanks, -mano

What's the checksum of your local rpm? Here's mine:

Thanks for the update. Haven't kept the probably corrupted rpm. Just tried the -4 version – no problems.

Wow this is marvelous!
I didn't expect :D
May i ask a feature? Can you make the favourites in such way that they update only after closing the keyboard? I think you just need to add a temporary database which overwrites the one for favourites at closure.
P.S. I just noticed that the settings key is not working anymore for me

Or you are still using an OS version older than Sailfish 3.0.2.8. The config button changed due to that release (zie changelog above). On older versions the config button may now be displaced and/or non functional.

Sorry my bad, it was long press.
I've never used it if not by mistake (which is why it was a post scriptum).
Thank you very much for you work :D

On the tablet it's fine, but on a phone it indeed takes more than halve of the screen. The only way I can find to get rid of the upper row, is to convert it into a split keyboard. It will decrease the space between the emojis, but it's the way almost all other keyboard layouts are configured. The config button will move to the center in landscape and the page indicator just above the keyboard.

I like this and I am more than happy that ade has continued my work!
The original Emoji Keyboard was created while CODeRUS developped his Whatsapp clone called Mitäkuuluu ja there was first need to view emoji characters on screen but also to write those in own replys and messages.
May be I should take down all old packages that may only cause harm for any user.

Thanks for your approval :-)
You already have a message on your page stating it is no longer supported. Maybe you could add a link to this page.

@ade, now that this has its own name (by adding a "+"), you may change the page title from "The Emoji Keyboard (screen resolution fix)" to simply "The Emoji+ Keyboard".
Another reason is, that it contains far more changes than just the "screen resolution fix" meanwhile.

Changed the title name.
A small disadvantage is that the URL also changes, so old references may no longer work.

It's explained on the page itself. You have to place your finger on the left side and swipe all the way to the right. It might require some practice though :)

I was suprised today to find an "old" Emoji keyboard among the language choices. ("alt" is the German word for "old"; hadn't I read the changelog before, I would have been confused :) ...)
I'm not sure how to work around this problem. One idea would be to call it "Emoji+" or Emoji deluxe or extended or whatever... as it's perior to the 3 smilies provided by Jolla.
