[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Hello fellow Android users, I've decided to start on another highly requested application. This time it is Kik Messenger, if you haven't noticed already.

What's so different about this version? Well I have actually changed the stockish look of Kik Messenger and have added elegancy and styles that correspond like the iOS7 Kik Messenger does.

This is far better looking than the normal Android one. If you would like to know what exactly has been changed, check the "Changelog" section.

BUGS - No buys? Let me know if you find one :)

DOWNLOADS

How to install - Please note, upon installation you will lose all of your conversations that you've had with people.

I suggest taking screenshots? I will integrate a conversation backup feature in a future release if possible.

1. Firstly, download the preferred version (Latest version recommended).

2. Transfer the file to you device (If downloaded from desktop).

3. Uninstall current Kik Messenger.

4. Install my version of Kik Messenger.

5. Set it up, and enjoy.

First Hit,

Looks nice, will try it now :D

btw Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Batfink47:
Thanks OP :D

Trying out!
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Thanks for checking it out guys, if you run into any issues please let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] DeveDroid:
Hey nice work mate, I'm trying it now in a hdpi device, Will report results soon ;)
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Thanks man, that'll be great.
[Android Apps and Games] DeveDroid:
Unfortunately I get FC,

Wait I'll get u logs.
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
That would be awesome man!

Use pastebin and link it here.

That way it'll be easy
[Android Apps and Games] DeveDroid:
I got nothing in logs, I cleared data from settings n it worked but however there were no changes, UI is same as stock but "Extras" feature was added to setting, It's basically because u need to work on hdpi folder png's too, Anyways I will have a eye on ur thread n wait for hdpi version ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Professor Dasher:
WoW !!

it's a great job man , I realy love it

mmm , What about the facebook app it has an ugly design , Can you theme it ??
[Android Apps and Games] Monsterdaaz:
Hey :D As usual, great work, it looks really nice

I find 2 problems idk if someone else have them but just in case i'm on a ldpi

Thanks man, keep it up :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Thanks for letting me know, I'll be sure to fix this in next release.

[Android Apps and Games] Batfink47:
Loving the lay out:) great job OP, but only problem is that I can't access the left menu with the options as in the above post. Using a galaxy s4 (i9505) with davndh's Google edition rom. Any solutions? Thanks:)
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
The menu is still acessable. Just slide from the left where the small pane used to be. It'll work :)
[Android Apps and Games] Batfink47:
It does still work. My bad, thanks :)

Will this be updated regularly? I only ask because i absolutely love it and I don't want to see it get abandoned
[Android Apps and Games] Dawood Al Amri:
Great my friend

but we wait whatsapp ios :D
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
No i will not abandon this project, if there were issues on this i would update it constantly but i dont see any bugs. But i will release a new update soon with some changed and fixes for the side drawer.

I can't guarantee this but a fellow user from xda "Ali" is helping me on this. So there may be an iOS Whatsapp
[Android Apps and Games] dragid10:
Cool! Is there supposed to be anything in extra's?
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
That is for future release when I get time to implement features.
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
Guys, how are your battery life with Kik running aaaall the time? Unlike alot of other apps, the bloody thing doesnt use push :(?
[Android Apps and Games] iamnotkurtcobain:
One reason I never use Kik again... Greenify is the only way but then again no push... Use hangouts, skype, whatsapp.

Im using an app that can cancel wakelocks. I've made it stop them two wakelocks that Kik cause all the time but the app seemingly still functions... Very weird.. It's like the wakelocks are superfluous.
[Android Apps and Games] BurnRubber90:
YES!

The iOS version of Whatsapp looks pretty neat actually.
[Android Apps and Games] imdaman99:
Looks neat, thanks! Any chance this can be themed with black background? If not I'm equally grateful and appreciative. Thanks for this!
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Anything is possible. I changed the blue-white background to frost-white. So I'm sure I can theme it to be black. Its just up to the users.
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Update

Hey guys, sorry for being quiet lately. Have been busy and didn't have time. But now I am back up and working on this project to get it to a state of perfection. I am currently working hard to get support for hdpi, but resizing simply gives off compiling errors. So I guess I'm going to have to work on it one by one.

EDIT -

I have release R2.

Check the first post to see change log and download links.
[Android Apps and Games] singhpratik87:
I downloaded V2 of your release and quite pleased with it.Much better than what original Kik had to offer.Along with the iOS7 look yet keeping it very android-ish looks and works great.No bugs to report.If you can look into a black themed version that'd be a bonus but no rush you can take your time.
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Thank you so much for your feedback, it helps me with releasing better updates.

One question, what exactly do you mean by "Black Themed" as there are many possibilities, do you mean inverted? Or a b&w theme.
[Android Apps and Games] singhpratik87:
You know how many apps have an option such as "night mode" where it darkens the background and the font becomes white,I am not sure if that's called inverted or just b&w theme.
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
I get what you mean, I can understand this as Kik does have a very bright background and I made the background full white which may be taunting at night.

I will try and implement a night mode feature or try and build a separate one.

Thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] aliw32619:
Yeah me too i need to start resizing the icons for WhatsApp hdpi, i found it works great on some phones and others show big images
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Goodluck on it, its actually a pain sometimes when resizing destroys the image quality.
[Android Apps and Games] aliw32619:
Yeah and it also destroys my back and neck's quality lol

[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Oh my :o let me fix this, hold on.

Edit - Fixed
[Android Apps and Games] DrRuckingFetard:
would it be possible to export conversations somehow so I can install this version of kik, without losing my conversation history? or is there some way you could implement this in a future version somehow, to backup messages?

also, I found a bug, not sure if anyone's pointed it out already but it's in the menu title when in Settings, happens when clicking on a menu in settings and then returning to the main settings page (screenshot below)

EDIT: Kik is making a liar of me now, Settings seem to be fine now after trying it again :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
[MENTION=5424736]DrRuckingFetard[/MENTION] I was actually going about to create a way of implementing such a feature that backups the conversation but its hard to do this without having the kiks source code. Only way this can be done is with a third party app.

And about the Settings thing, idk. I have never had the happen so I'm unaware of that and since you stated its fine so I guess its not that big of a deal.
[Android Apps and Games] DrRuckingFetard:
Yeah I figured it would probably be a difficult thing to implement, but we have faith in you, i'm sure you can come up with a way to do so :cool:

anyway, awesome app, looking forward to see what future updates bring :D
[Android Apps and Games] dragid10:
Absolutely wonderful! It makes me happy to see that you're still updating the app
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
There will be a new updating soon, just doing some minor changes and fix ups.

I'm spending more time working on a Launcher im making. So most of time time when I'm free goes into that.
[Android Apps and Games] dragid10:
Can't wait to see it!
[Android Apps and Games] dragid10:
Do you think there's anyway you can remove the in-app browser thing, it's absolutely horrid!
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Sure, I'll try and remove it. And I feel ya aha, its horrible alright.

Hi This is great! Thank you!

was wondering if there was any possible way of making the chat bubbles rounded

also when you're messaging someone on android where their name is it shows their picture but on ios it doesn't

would that be something you could fix too?:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

If not no worries!

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! :good: :good: :good:
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Glad you like this, I'm not sure if I'm going to update this application anymore. It's been an old project.
[Android Apps and Games] Lane5SOS:
i like it but

I like it VERY much, and im glad someone is working on and ios7 version of kik for android, but i wish it looked a little more like the ios7 version of kik. Like the round message corners, almost like the ios sms bubbles, and also the profile pictures are round in the ios7 version. Thanks for providing this very cool alternative, and i hope you take my sugestions, also, NO bugs, this thing is very stable :)

Facebook app

thankss mann your owwssumm

What about the facebook app it has an ugly design , Can you theme it pleasee
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Facebook is a server-side application. You can't really theme it. You can change its colours but the design will remain as is.

If you're looking for a blacked out or transparent version, check out Team Black Out. They have some pretty awesome mods.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
I have the signal booster given by T-Mobile. This allows my phones (Nexus 5, Nexus 7, iPhone) to have full bar at my home. These phones simply connect to the booster.

EXCEPT the Note 3. I got crappy connection, less than 2 bars. It's as if the Note 3 refused to connect to the booster.

Does anyone know? Is this because my Note 3 have APN Protocol of iPv6 instead of IPv4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Did you try the solution provided in your other thread to find out?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692547

I always thought the boosters used your local network to connect to T-Mobile but the connection to the phone was a simulated 3G signal, not WiFi.

but creating an APN entry with the IPv4 should help you determine that quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I also have the cel fi rs2 booster. You need to set the Note 3 for gsm / wcdma mode for it to pickup the boosted signal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
So I did that, but after a while, it reverts back to "GSM" by itself.

Do you have IPv4 in the APN?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
My Protocol is IPv6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wolf234:
another booster

I also have Note 3 but anoter booster

Works great!

my protocol is IPv4

I just got my 12.2 LTE and will be collecting my free Samsung BT keyboard soon, I am wondering is there anyone who have tried the Samsung S Mouse with the keyboard for "desktop"like experience. Does it in anyway enhance the use of note pro as a laptop? The S Mouse is not cheap, is it worth getting? Thanks for sharing.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Buji:
I don't know if it offers any different functionality than a standard Bluetooth mouse, but I use both a bt mouse and a bt keyboard that has a built in track pad for remote pc connection and it works great as a laptop replacement, with one exception: in android, Google gas decided to map the right mouse button to the "back" function. Supposedly Citrix is going to overwrite that function with their newer update sometime in April.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] woowdy:
I would also love to know?

aslo can you pair 2 devices like the keyboard and the mouse at the same time by bluetooth?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Buji:
You can, but they will be jumpy. I usually just use the trackpad, but if I use a different bt keyboard I use the mouse, or I can shut off the trackpad portion of my main bt deck.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] nychotxxx:
Free s mouse??? How? Why?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Kopi-O:
Only the BT keyboard is free, not the S Mouse.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] nychotxxx:
How do you get the free keyboard? I didn't see anything like that when I got my promotions after buying my 12.2.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Kopi-O:
My promotional offers were a BT keyboard, book cover, a wireless Samsung printer. But now all purchases of note comes bundled with BT keyboard, book cover and S Mouse
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] nychotxxx:
Where do you live? I bought my 12.2 at best buy about a week ago and no such promotion for free hardware.. From Samsung after registering, the best I got was $25 credit from playstore and $25 or $50 via samsung hub. The rest were service offers I cared less about and required credit card sign up.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] woowdy:
i got mine at best buy to. I didn't get anything with the tablet??

where I can get this stuff or do I still can get this stuff from best buy or do I need to go online?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Kopi-O:
This offer is in Singapore. I went to the Samsung concept store yesterday and was told that the S Mouse is now bundled along with the Keyboard and cover for the Note Pro. Samsung is pushing it as a notebook replacement device.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] nychotxxx:
Well, that is a great deal. I wonder why Singapore and not the u.s. I'm gonna call samsung and ask about it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] aartvv:
The S action mouse is the best one i've used on a android device!I used several ones before and sometimes the disconnected or i had to switch them on and off to make them work again,not with the samsung mouse!And the extra buttons for multiwindow and resent apps are great.I use it in combination with the samsung keyboard and that's no problem.

I have finally gotten to using the note pro with the keyboard and am using it to type this reply. I must say its fantastic. I don't have the S mouse but am definitely contemplating getting one. The screen size is about right. I'll have a strong feeling that I'll be leaving my notebook behind in my biz trips. The note pro is certainly a notebook replacement.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] woowdy:
Agree. I have been using the note pro for more than a month now with the logetich keyboard and to be honest it is actually replacing my tablet needs. And with the mouse you will have more freedom with the device as well.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Arnosch:
The S action mouse enables you to view the recent open apps, go to the home page (easier than hitting the central button of the tab), open Google search engine, and launch Svoice. It definitely enhances the laptop experience in my opinion, even if I'm still struggling with some really annoying issues with the NP 12.2 (virtual keyboard poping up when hitting the screen even when BT Logiteck keyboard is connected; and Hancom Office being everything but a Pro Office solution).

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Duly.noted:
Under language settings set it to disable on screen keyboard when a bt one is connected. You should see it if you look with the logitech connected. If not download external keyvoard helper and that issue will vanish entirely. And hancom is as good as it gets so far. Its perfect for me I dont need anything it doesnt offer as I only do writing and a little excell. You ahould combine it with a remote pc app.
