Google Keyboard has emojis. But not enough, what about when you're watching the excellent TwitchPlaysPokemon (as I write this, offline and in full riot mode) and need a wide range of "dongers" to input into chat in order to actually fit into the norm there?That's why I made Google Keyboard Custom Smilies (from now, GKCS)Here's what it does:- Adds 124 preset "dongers" to the emoji keyboard's ":)" tab- Limits the length of keyboard characters to 4, to prevent the UI looking horrible. Inputs are normal.- Allows you to set your own labels for the inputsYou can also add your own custom text. It can be anything, from "" to the navy seals copypasta And of course, it's fully customizable (order, delete what you don't want) and is material designed.Please note that the inputting of Unicode symbols used in most of the emoticons requires the app to actually support them. If it doesn't, there's nothing I can do.Some screenshots:How to remove the banner ad
