[Android Apps and Games] Appreciative:
Hello again XDA,

First, let us say thank you to everyone for the massive support, from all of us.

After over 20,000 downloads of Pikik and after much anticipation, Host Link & Gunther would like to proudly present Pikik2.

[++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++]

Please note, an updated Pikik2 will arrive shortly with updated logo pngs. This is technically at 99%.

More themes and lighter themes will come in the following weeks as Link.exe has time to build them.

Always download the latest version for the most stable Pikik2. If you experience issues and others report the same, consider the previous release.

What is Pikik, and then what is Pikik2!?

[++] What was Pikik?

[--] Pikik was a modified Kik Messenger. The purpose of which, was to reduce lag and help the overall Kik Messenger Experience remain smooth.

[--] Pikik has Antilag by gunther, now known as "AntiLagv1". This is now deprecated by Pikik2.

[++] What is Pikik2?

[--] Pikik2 is the replacement to Pikik. The purpose of which, is to eliminate all lag on any android device using Pikik2.

[--] Pikik2 has more features than Pikik (now deprecated) to enhance the user experience and more to come.

[++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++]

[++] What's special about Pikik2? What are features? Why should I try Pikik2?

[+] AntiLagv1 - Partially removed* and toggle-able.

[-] Links Toggle - this will turn link parsers on or off. It will control all link parsers. Links, phone numbers, ip addresses, #hashtag_groups.

[--] Addresses are skipped entirely. They will never be parsed. We will not be restoring this at any time.

[+] AntiLagv2 - Interception of all lag codes & visual notification of lag attempt. Created by Host.™

[--] Antilagv2 is the pinnacle of lag code protection. If you receive a lag code, you will be shown a message that displays the length of the lag code instead.

[--] The text will be colored so there is no spoofing this.

[+] Fake Camera Toggle - this feature is dangerous and comes with a warning. You don't have a chance to remove the image when this toggle is on.

[--] As soon as you click the gallery image, it is sent. The toggle makes this selectable on/off whenever you'd like. Be careful with this and practice it on yourself first.

[+] No Read Receipt Toggle - this feature will not notify the recipient that you have read their message. They will continue to see "D" (Delivered) while enabled.

[+] Disable 'Is-Typing' - this feature is inherently buggy courtesy of kik. However, this feature will not show the recipient or group that you are typing at the top when enabled.

[--] Please don't report bugs for this. We know this has inconsistent behavior on Regular Kik and modified Kik. We will look into a workaround fix.

[+] New theme(s) by Link.exe with material design elements and smooth colors. Link themes are perfection.™

[+] Extended Video Recording - 65* seconds of camera recording time. A 4.3x length increase over original.

[--] This can increase file size and therefore upload/download time, keep this in mind when making a short video series.

[+] Seperate Dalvik - Allows for side-by-side install next to Regular Kik and or BhKik. Partially inspired by BhKik creator "Me-Nex S".

[+] Removed double pop-up (confirm) after login to import address book. One "No" is enough.

[++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++]

[++] Frequently Asked Questions [++]

[+] Is root required?

[-] No.

#pikik Community - All of you whose names I won't write out here but thanks to everyone helpful and making the community a great resource to learn.

This was a GROUP project/hobby. This was not possible without the 3 of us working together for a month in our spare time. I say that because I started

pikik and this often leaves Host and Link overshadowed. This would not be possible without Host and Link. Please send all your well wishes to them also.

We all appreciate the support, please don't forget that this would not exist without the group effort.

Thanks XDA & everyone involved.

- Gunther Host & Link
