Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

I would like to have different emojis shown on the emoji reaction picker without needing to go into the full emoji picker.

#### Why would you like to do it?

I have no use for almost all of the emojis in the default selection, and I would like to have diffrent ones to choose from.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Some method of choosing different emojis

### Have you considered any alternatives?

I can think of two options:
1. Allow the user to choose their own defaults (I favor this one)
2. Have it reflect the most frequently, or recently used emojis

### Additional context

I am specifically referring to this selection that pops up when you long press a message.

Research direction

The issue concerns the quick-select portion of the emoji reaction picker in Element X Android, shown after long-pressing a message. Start by locating that picker in the Android client and compare the proposed user-selected defaults with recent or frequent emojis. Done means users can choose different quick-select emojis without opening the full picker; no files or tests are identified.
