Jailbreak Only: Quickly Turn Text Smileys Into Emoji With SMSmileys

Do you use Emoji often? Hate switching to a separate keyboard just for them? SMSmileys is a new tweak that is here to fix that.
What the tweak does is pretty self-explanatory. Once installed, it will turn all your text smileys, for example ":-)" into corresponding Emoji. This will save you the hassle of switching to or even adding another keyboard just to place an Emoji within your text. However, the tweak does not really work with unique Emoji such as the gun or gamepad — how would you type those anyway, right?
SMSmileys is a very simple, yet convenient tweak. One must wonder why Apple neglects such simple features in the first place, but luckily we have the jailbreak community to thank for making tweaks to solve most any problem.
Obviously, this simple tweak is available for free in the Cydia Store and you can grab it via the BigBoss Repo. If you are someone who uses Emoji often, let us know if you think this tweak made the process more convenient.
