Heya guys!

My friend has an Android based Smartphone, don't know the version, but it's an LG.

She does seem to have some Emoji on her device (stock/3rd party? idk) that look just like the iOS versions, however she can't receive even those same Emojis from my iPhone.

We'd like to be able to send each other, possibly all 600+ emoji, so her device must probably get a font installed that will work with the unicode characters (or which ever Apple Emoji are registered in) that iOS uses.

We want to send and receive as native text, so no pictures, as this shall work via SMS. :3

I'm asking this here, because I know that some of those kinds of programs sometimes come with nagware, spyware and other unwanted code, so it'd be sweet to get personal recommendations from my trusted Neowin friends! :)

Thanks in advance!

If your friend has a 4.0+ device, I wouldn't worry about the nag adverts with those programs. You can block those starting in ICS. Otherwise to answer your question, most of the time those type of apps are culprit.

You can also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&hl=en after you install an app to see if it is culprit.

Thank you, now I only need to know an app that will supply us with the needed font set. :)

from looking in the play store, it looks like this is the one to use https://play.google....XN0eWxlLm1tcyJd

this review of it explains it pretty well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iphonestyle.mms&reviewId=Z3A6QU9xcFRPRmRxaWFJeG9FRnprY1ROQVp0MkpvdDhDTHlwRTV6WG14VUZ5R0h5aF9pRVlCbDdwLUtJaXk3X1hqNVhFdHdZcEo3c2RpaENKZmplejJXblE

wow, thanks, that's a step forward for sure. :)

[...]

Limitation:

This app is not able to make Android to display the emoji.

If you want to see the emoji icon on your device, please follow the steps below to replace the font.

1. you need to have a rooted device

[...]

Her device isn't rooted though I guess and I'm not sure whether she's comfortable doing it/getting it done by someone else.

Hmmm, but thanks so far already. This would be an input method, now on to maybe an alternative way to get the font installed, if somehow possible sans rooting?

What are the opinions on this?

For that you need to install (almost) the whole line of GO apps, from launcher to keyboard, in order to use it.

I would suggest you the JellyBean 4.2 native emoji keyboard here:

She explicitly wants the iPhone ones.

She even has some of them already on her phone, but they don't work between our devices.

She's really into the Apple emoji set and wants that badly and I'd love to do her the favor of finding a way for her to get them ^^

And fair enough on the GO apps part, that's a shame... :/

O well.....

I think +Brando212's got the exact app she wants.

did you look at the one I posted? it costs $2 but it does exactly what you want without having to install a dozen different things

Probably the best bet yea...

This will replace her stock SMS app right?

Will it import the previous messages?

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC by Sayan Sen Windows enthusiasts often look for ways to extract as much performance out of their systems as possible, and it's often the case that they try and do so while trying to minimize the heat and power consumption. This is especially relevant in the case of mobile Windows PCs since laptops and notebooks tend to get hot and management of that heat and power is harder in such a form factor. As such users often turn to techniques like under-volting which can be used to squeeze out the maximum capabilities of a chip while also maintaining lowered power levels. There are official apps from AMD and Intel with the likes of Ryzen Master and XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility). While these are quite handy, most enthusiasts probably prefer to dig into the BIOS and play around with settings there like Curve Optimizer on Ryzen, which lets users set various frequency-voltage scaling values. These are essentially called P-States. If you are not familiar with them, Processor Power Management is done through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) P-states and C-states. While P-states or performance pwoer states handle CPU voltage-frequency scaling, C-states deal with CPU sleep states so that some of the CPU functions, which are not necessary at that moment, can be disabled. The P-states and C-states work together to make the processor run more efficiently. It helps the OS and apps determine which cores can be parked and which should be boosted. Of course not every user is an enthusiast or knows the technicalities and integrities of how things like overclocking or undervolting work. Thankfully for them Windows itself offers something pretty cool, though it is hidden by default on all systems. By default, Windows only has two P-States, "Minimum Processor State" and "Maximum Processor State." However, this can be changed with a Registry trick to expand the options under a secret "Processor performance boost mode" dropdown. This essentially enables the HWP or hardware P-States available on a device, and these are not controlled just by the OS itself as the underlying hardware gets involved too. In total there are five Processor Performance Boost Mode profiles that control how Windows requests and allows CPU turbo/boost behavior under the different power policies. They are: Disabled: In this mode, processor boosting is effectively turned off. The CPU will avoid entering turbo or boost frequencies and instead operate closer to its base frequency ceiling. This can significantly reduce power consumption and heat output, but at the cost of reduced burst performance and responsiveness in short workloads. Enabled: This is the standard behavior where boost functionality is allowed under normal conditions. The processor can opportunistically increase frequency when workload demands it, balancing performance gains with power and thermal constraints as managed by the system. Aggressive: Aggressive mode favors performance more heavily, allowing the CPU to enter higher boost states more readily and sustain them longer. This should in theory improve responsiveness under bursty or heavy workloads but increases power draw and thermal output compared to the default enabled behavior. Efficient Enabled: This mode still allows boosting, but with a stronger bias toward energy efficiency. The system attempts to use boost more selectively, avoiding unnecessary frequency spikes when the performance gain is marginal. Efficient Aggressive: This is a hybrid approach where boost is still performance-responsive, but the system continuously weighs efficiency more heavily than in Aggressive mode. It aims to deliver noticeable performance improvements while reducing wasted power in less demanding scenarios. Here's how to enable the Processor performance boost mode: Open Registry Editor: Press Win+R, type regedit, and click OK. Go to: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7 (where HKLM stands for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_) Modify the value of Attributes from 1 to 2 (you can find modify option by right-clicking) After that, exit Registry, you should now be able to see the new "Processor performance boost mode" dropdown menu: As you can see there are now five new P-States or CPPC states or power profile available that help define the boost mode processor setting on your PC. Wrapping it up here's a quick run-down of the settings as defined by Microsoft itself. Setting Description Disabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is disabled. Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) behaviour is disabled. Enabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is enabled. CPPC behaviour is Efficient Enabled. Aggressive The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is enabled. CPPC behaviour is Aggressive. Efficient Enabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is Efficient. CPPC behaviour is Efficient Enabled. Efficient Aggressive The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is Efficient. CPPC behaviour is Aggressive. Aggressive At Guaranteed Windows calculates the desired extra performance above the guaranteed performance level, and asks the processor to deliver that specific performance level. Efficient Aggressive At Guaranteed Windows always asks the processor to deliver the highest possible performance above the guaranteed performance level. In the next part we shall be comparing these settings to explore how much of a benefit or regression they can provide in terms of performance and power efficiency. If you decide to change the values on your system and are experiencing problems like crashes or an overheating PC, make sure to revert the steps back to the original state.

      I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
