Convert TextViews used GridView to simple ImageViews #50

Shouldn't be more optimal to use plain ImageViews instead of the TextView approach? On medium to low end devices the emoji panel takes a lot to load (like ten seconds). Even on my Samsung I9100 it takes like 4-5 seconds to load. Before sending you a patch, I'd like to know if using TextView was a deliberate decision and, if that's the case, reasons why we can't use ImageView.

I chose TextView as to keep the implementation simple and didn't pay much attention to the performance. If changing to ImageView help then sure, we should do that.
