(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.

How do I get "always use this app for" to actually ALWAYS use that app.

One thing that annoys the crap out of me is constantly having to choose "what app would you like to open this with". I select an app and choose "always". Yet going back to my S3 the damn dialogue box opens up again. It seems to happen whenever an app is upated and in many cases after a reboot.
YT links , Tapatalk links , Shortcuts with launchers etc. Is there any way to make these choices stick ?

Go to the application manager in settings and scroll down and find all the apps
which don't save their default settings properly and click "Clear Defaults".
You can also click on "clear data", "clear cache" and reboot the phone for best results.
Good luck!

On Play Store there is an app called Default app Manager. It works well and easy to use. Instead of going to each app to clear or set default, you can do it all from the app.

How can i remove lock screen dual clock

Anyone can help me to remove the lock screen dual clock. I am using Korea version F400S

Maybe you need to enable lock screen widgets in the settings menu?

It's more than likely in the clock settings or settings in lock screen

Thanks, heres what the linked post instructed.
1) download that app from the play store
2) set your language to english and your location to your desire.
3) install the app
4) search "clock" under the activities tab
5) under the roaming icon, there should be a "Roaming dual clock". tap into it.
6) tap "Try" then select "disable"
7) simply press back without creating the shortcut
8) select "Roaming clock settings"
9) tap "Try" again, and uncheck both ticks
10) press back again and you're all done.

Thank you for the info, it worked perfectly

that's the direct path a lot of people couldnt find, the shortcut maker makes it more obvious to show

Hello guys, thanks for the solution on how to remove the dual clock the app works perfectly I can finally remove it. Now I have another question, if you have the korean version or the 400s versions, if you go to your calendar app you will see that you have some korean holidays, I haven't been able to find how to remove those, i went to account and sync and I cannot remove korean holidays. So I went to QuickShortcutMaker app, under activities I clicked on calendar and went to setting, I unchecked korean holidays but when I go back the app crashes. Is there any other way to remove that??
I appreciate it. DONT WANT TO SEE THOSE KOREAN LETTERS!!!!!

This works a lot better...and easier I must say

Hi guys, I tried all the steps listed on this thread, however when I go back to the lockscreen, it shows the same dual time. Any ideas why?

Did you disable both "roaming clock setting", and "roaming clock". For me all the settings are under T-Roaming(F400S). Depending on your model it might be different.

Sorry to write here after long time, but if you google about 'How to remove dual clock' you easily go here.
I made an app to salve this problem.
Currently made for F240s on 4.4.2 (LG G Pro).
Please, if you have an imported smartphone with dual clock, send a report and I will ADD support for your smartphone too.

What if previously I deleted that roaming app (rooted)??
Now I can't create a shortcut to disable it...

[Solved] [Q] Disable automatic "Default Application" Option

Hi there, something from the Menu disappoints me... Maybe someone is having a hint or a hack!
As you can see in the screenshot there is always the option for the Standard Application activated. In some cases I (maybe some other as well) i want to use aother app the next time. And If you forget it... its standard..
How can I disable the dialog, that the next used app will be used as default?
Anybody?
Cheers

Does nobody having this as an issue ?
hmmmm ^^

I have. But didn't find any solution for it...

If what I understand from you is correct, you want the menu to always appear every time, correct? What you have to do, is not to use the "OK" button at the bottom of the menu. Just double tap the app that you want to use. This way, the menu will always appear every time.

Use app picker classic on the play store
