Hi, can anyone please tell me how I can stop this from reoccuring in my notifications everytime I want to type something? Ive already chosen Samsung keyboard as my default in the settings but it keeps prompting me to choose.

Yea I pretty much figured that out and deleted Swiftkey I had installed. But the thing is its not suppose to do that once you disable it in the settings menu. Either thank you for the help.

Actually it just popped up again. Ive taken out swiftkey and the only keyboard is the default sammy. Now it prompts me to choose between keyboard or voice typing which btw I disabled and cannot uninstall and would not want to as I use it from time to time.

Solved!
Try this:
Browse to /data/system/inputmethod
Delete subtypes.xml
Reboot
Now, if you've another input method you want you'll have to open the xml doc and remove entries to the one which keeps popping up (for me it was Google voice input - but luckily I'm still able to use the voice search in Google Now despite deleting subtypes.xml )
Otherwise, this should work. I tried unticking all but one input methods in the settings menu but it never worked. This does.

Yea but dont forget to mention the free version is very limited and youll need to purchase Simplistic Control App from playstore to get the full effect.

(Q) Any way to have screen come on for kik messages?

Me and my girlfriend started using kik because she gets bad signal in her house.. And I was wondering is there anyway to mod it to where the screen will come on when you recieve a message?

there might be a way to use a tasker script to do it. I wouldn't know where to begin on trying to mod the apk to make that work.

Man, this is new territory for me. I bought Tasker ages ago but never really played with it. It really is powerful! Anyways, I'm trying to figure this out for you and I think I have something that'll work here. Let me describe what I've got so far and we can see if it works with you.
There is a plugin for Tasker called Secure Settings. Install that, 'cause you can't use the Tasker "ScreenOn" task with 4.1.X or 4.2.X ROMs.
When you're in Tasker, under the "Tasks" tab, click on the plus sign (bottom middle).
Type in a name you want to use for the task (I chose "Screen On").
Click on the blue plus sign to add an action. Click on the "Plugin" button, then on Secure Settings. Click on "edit" on the configuration section.
Choose "Wake Device." For the wake type, I cose Screen and Keyboard Lights On. For duration, that's more of your choice, but I'd say 10 seconds would give you plenty of time to see the screen light up.
Click on the floppy to save and bring you back to Tasker interface. Click on the check mark, then on the other check mark, and now you have a task called "Screen On."
Ok, now this is where I can't test this function, but you can see if it works for you. I don't have Kik, so I can't test this. but you do, so you can! What I'm doing is setting up Tasker to check for notifications for Kik; here's what I did to set it up:
First off, you need to enable Tasker's Accessibility Service in settings. Go to Settings --> Accessibility. In the Services section, you should see "Tasker - JB." Click on it and enable it.
Go back to Tasker, then to the Profiles Tab
Add new profile (plus sign at bottom middle)
Insert Name (I chose "Kik Starter")
Choose Event
Choose "Notification" under "UI"
Click on the Icon next to "Owner Application," then scroll and find Kik Messenger.
You can also click on Title. Modifying this will make sure the screen only turns on for GF1 and not GF2, you just have to see what Kik gives in terms of a notification message "New message from GF1" or whatever. If the notification text is the message itself "Ur so hot honey," you can't use this function to distinguish texts between people.
Now you choose which task you want this condition to invoke. Choose the "Screen On" task you created in the previous bullet-point list.
Save all the changes and you should be good to go.
Now, I got held up on the fact that the Tasker notification (which you can disable in settings) says "No Active Profiles." I tried toggling the various Tasker settings for about 20 minutes before I searched online (should always be my first solution to any problem). What I found in this XDA thread is the following:
Basically event based profiles will activate but won't stay activated , unlike non-event based profiles
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So that means that Event based profiles (like this one) aren't considered "active" in the same way that the "on from 2pm-4pm" profiles are active. It should still work (have your GF send a Kik message), but it won't show up as "active."
I really hope my instructions are easy to follow. I'm now going to try to think of more fun things to do with Tasker.

texts on lock screen in 4.3

Any way to disable the text message display on the lock screen? The counter from before was perfect. This new thing is going to get me so busted.

since am not on 4.3 yet, am sure there are settings on the messaging app to disable that and or the settings on lockscreen settings to disable text notification on lockscreen or use a different app like whatsApp that will help a ton

I want it back like it was before 4.3 If you open the text app and settings all the way at the bottom all it shows that you Disable or enabled it but it's like one or the other.. Lame..

I got hooked up with the setting on another forum. It's in the menu within the text app. Uncheck the preview option. You lose both the notification line preview and the lockscreen preview.

Yup. Unchecked the preview message option. Now the lock screen just has a big box which says "new message."

I have a S3 and just received my 4.3 update yesterday. This morning I noticed that I had a txt message because of the "new message" on my lock screen. I'm not sure what I changed but I no longer get that notification. I don't want the message preview just the big box which says 'new message'. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!
Under the Messaging app settings, I currently have "Preview message" unchecked. I also have "Flash notification" unchecked.
Thanks in advance!!!

Jelly Bean 4.3 dialer for Kitkat(4.4)

Hi, I have update the my nuxus 4 to Kitkat(4.4) but I am very much disappointed with new dialer, Can any one have the old 4.3 dialer?? Please share me..
Thanks,
Bhaskar

+1, every time I try to swipe to awap screens it deletes my favorites.

Also need it for a friend...If i pull it from factory image will be working??

4.4 dialer sucks
That's why I went back to 4.3.

It really sux!
Agree with you.
Installing apk from jelly bean will fail as it has lower version (and it might be not the only reason).
Maybe some can grab sources from JB Dialer/Contacts app and change it's ID so Android will install it aside with original dialer as separate app painless?
:highfive:

it's just a matter of time till you get used to it, JB's dialer was and is outdated, the new one is a total improvement and you'll learn to like it like all of us did :fingers-crossed:

Why do you want the old dialer? If you have the same problem with it as me, I might have a workaround.
I hate that it doesnt show the dialer itself, I just want to open the app, press a few numbers and call a person. For this, someone made an Xposed module called Show Dialpad which will show the dialpad the moment you open the app. Now I don't mind using the new dialer anymore

Do you know how or if we can get landscape in the new dialler? With the 4.3 one, the dialler automatically switched to landscape when docked in the car, which the Kitkat one doesn't seem to do.

Xposed App Settings can also do that. Go to App Settings > Dialer, turn the switch on and in orientation, change (default) into Normal Rotation.

Thanks and yes I am already using that Xposed mod just to get some degree of landscape as unfortunately it doesn't give a 'proper' landscape mode. It just expands/compresses the portrait screen into landscape. So for example, the dialpad becomes almost unusable with the rows of numbers overlapping etc. On the 4.3 dialler, when docked, it brought up a properly formatted landscape mode, with the caller image on the left, and buttons on the right.

You can install Contacts+ from the play store. I would say it is a nice dialer to replace the stock.

Thanks. This certainly helps, but the one thing we're missing is the in-call landscape. Unfortunately due to the way Android works, it seems as if no other dialler can be used for the actual in-call functionality other than stock.

Ran into this little app, and because of others posts, I know you can do the 2 above things with it. Free at google play.
My question is do others know any other goodies that would be beneficial? Things VZW has disabled or hidden, LG things I might like to use.........

You can use activity launcher to run the call reject settings and block calls which Verizon stupidly disabled.
