If you haven't created a NANDroid backup recently, it would behoove you to do so now. Before you flash anything, it's always a good idea to make a full NANDroid backup-but that's particularly true in this case, since the ZIP that installs the new iOS 9.1 emojis on most devices also has the propensity to completely disable emojis on some devices, like the Nexus 5. I cannot stress the importance of this first step enough. So if you're already tired of missing out on emojis that your friends sent you, I'll show you how to install the mod below. Hoping to resolve this dilemma, developer DespairFactor created a flashable ZIP that installs all of the new iOS 9.1 emojis on most Android devices (though I've noticed that the Nexus 5 isn't compatible). Nonetheless, this fix will take a while, and some devices might not ever see an update that lets them view these new emojis.
In fact, this issue is so widespread that Reddit users stirred up a social media frenzy, which ultimately led to one of Android's new top executives tweeting that a fix is in the works.
Apple just sent out a new update to their iPhones, and while that normally wouldn't have any impact on Android users, the fact that they included 184 new emojis means that the text messages you receive from friends and family members with iOS devices might come across with blank or missing characters.
