[Tutorial] How to Disable S Planner (correctly) - Galaxy S 5 General

Dear fellow xda members,
You might have noticed, it is impossible to use the "turn off" option for S planner, therefore one has to find a way to instal another calendar app without the annoying double reminders/ double notifications effect. I came across this problem and found a simple workaround that doesn't require root.
Here's how :
1- Open S planner
2- Hit the upper right corner (options) and go to calendars
3- Un-tick all the calendars
4- Hit setting and disable all reminders and notifications
5- Go to Settings/app settings/all and find the 2 "S Planner" entries
6- For first S Planner entry hit "force close", "turn off" and "clear data"
7- For the second entry hit "force close" and "clear data" (unfortunately there is no possibility to turn this one off)
8- Instal Google Calendar from the Maket or any other calendar app and voila !
I like S planner but I had to stop using it because there is no way to activate an auto reminder setting. So if you forget to set it manual when you create your event, it won't be reminded to you in advance. I know Google Calendar and MIUI calendar have this option.
This issue was related in the following threads :

Hope this helped

There is a problem with your step 7.
If you hit "clear data" then all the settings for the app will be reset, which means the "untick all calendars" in step 3 and notifications setting in step 4...everything will be back to normal ...so its useless to do "clear data"..
Even if you do just force stop in step 7, and when you install google calendar the splanner will trigger and continue to run in background(and will import all the calendars again) but will not disturb you if you disabled the notifications in the app...So technically its still running in the background as google calendar....only thing is its not notifying you if you have disabled that setting.....

Actually I just noticed that my auto refresh is also grayed out... in my case it's set to "Using mobile data or wifi" but the button itself is gray and not selectable so I can't change it! I wonder how that happened...
It would be nice to be able to change it... I wonder if this has anything to do with changes to "Accounts and sync" recently made to deal with my invisible exchange account problem which is now fixed... maybe related.
If anyone else has seen this, please post.
SOLVED
*slaps forehead*
I just needed to enable Auto sync under "Accounts and sync"... now I can select the auto refresh option for blinkfeed and also no more "weather data not available" message either...

I'm talking about the "Auto sync" toggle at the very top of the "settings -> Accounts & sync" page... meaning after you first tap on Accounts & sync, look at the very top area and make sure that "Auto sync" is checked -- meaning set to "ON" with the blue color showing as switched on.
It applies to all accounts -- meaning it's not "Blinkfeed specific", but yet it appears it must be checked in order for Blinkfeed to auto-update properly.
It's right above the text that says "MANAGE ACCOUNTS" in small dark gray capital letters on the Accounts & sync page.
That's what "turned Blinkfeed back on" for me.

Ye, the settings for blinkfeed are in the app itself, where you select topics and services but I thought you had it show up in accounts and sync from how you wrote it lol .. The no weather data available and my location bit really annoy me because often my data isn't strong enough or if the phones been asleep, that it often says this on the lockscreen and on blinkfeed until I manually refresh or turn wifi on ... Probably the one thing I hate about stock because if you don't use data or weather etc you have no way of stopping it showing that which bugs me to say the least.

Stock Calendar Issues

I cannot create new events in the stock calendar app. If I try to add an event when I select save the following message pops up:
"Loading Calendars"
>Insert circle that rotates similar to an hour glass
And that message with the rotating circle will stay there indefinitely if I let it.
Any ideas on what would cause this? I also have Yahoo, Outlook and Google calendars that I cannot get to sync with the stock calendar app.
All set. The issue was in the "All Apps" tab "Calendar Storage" was disabled. My first thought was to go into the app and select enable but that button was missing so I went to the 3-dot menu in the top-right cornet and selected "Reset App Preferences" which enabled Calendar Storage. I then launched the calendar app and it works fine now

This is a known issue with marshmallow roms.
It occurs due to some filter apps such as cf lumen, twilight, and lately this has been happening for me with floatify.
So I would suggest to disable any such apps and try again.

Google Home Spotify Alarm

After installing this profile you will be able to set an alarm that will play a song or playlist on Google Home.
**Required** Spotify Premium Account & Tasker. Also download the Spotify_Alarm.prf.xml.
Part 1:
1. Install and setup Tasker on your phone.
2. Open the Spotify app and find the song or playlist of your choice.
3. Click on the three vertical dots to the right of your song or playlist, then select “Share,” then “Copy Link” (you will make use of the URL in the next section).
4. Play the song to get access to the "Devices Available" setting at the bottom of the screen and select your Google Home. Exit Spotify.
Part 2:
1. Place the Spotify_Alarm.prf.xml file in your device’s Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders do not exist then create them).
2. Open Tasker and long-press “Profiles,” then select “Import” and import the xml file from Part 1.
3. Once imported press the Spotify Alarm profile to expand it and press the task portion of the profile (the section on the right hand side of the profile).
4. Next press "Browse URL" and copy the Spotify URL in the "URL" field. The start of the URL will begin with "https://open.spotify..." change it to "https://play.spotify..."
5. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile. Done!
You can now create an alarm on your phone using Google Now or by hand (set your alarm app to silent). The alarm will trigger your Spotify selection and cast it to GH. Enjoy!
***Important***
- Depending on your Android version, you must disable your lockscreen or Spotify will not auto-play, Set your lockscreen to “none.”
- Playing music on GH prior to your scheduled alarm will reset the Spotify cast device app setting back to "phone." Therefore set the Spotify app to play on GH just prior to going to bed to avoid this issue.
- Disable battery optimization for both Tasker and Spotify or your device may disable their service when idle.

Block calendar notifications while driving

Hi,
might seem a silly question but it's very annoying while driving that I receive Samsung calendar notifications. While they appear full screen, Waze and music sounds are silenced.
I have to manually dismiss them before all sounds are 'restored'.
I just want to drive without interruptions of the calendar app, anyone know how this can be done? I'm also using Android Auto but don't see any setting that can accomplish this.
thank you
I'm using Tasker and AutoNotifcation for this. I block some notifications and enable the AOD while connected to my cars Bluetooth.
- install both apps
- in Tasker add a task and search for "AutoNotification Block".
- Tap the pen of Configuration and select the apps you want to block the notification for. You can also add the package name manually
- Under "Toggle" set it to "Block"
- go back and set the timeout to none (slide the slider to the most right)
- go back to the task
- go back to the task list
- add a new task, do the same as above but instead of "Block" set the Toggle to "Unblock".
Now you have the needed tasks and you can set the profiles for them.
- In Tasker go to the profile tap and add a new profile, name it whatever you want.
- Tap on "Status" and filter for "Bluetooth connected" (Note: Bluetooth must be enabled while creating the profiles!).
- Name is optional, tap on the magnifying glass for "Address" and select your cars Bluetooth address.
- go back and Tasker will popup a window where you need to assign a task. Assign the "block" task.
- now do the same again but Mark the "Reverse" check mark in the Bluetooth address menu and after this select the "unblock" task.
So, Tasker will tell AutoNotification to block the specific notifications while connected to the Bluetooth device and unblock it if disconnected.
I hope it works for you. I don't know the English menu entries for Tasker since my app is in German, sorry if there's something different.
thanks, great tip : I already bought Tasker a while ago, I'll set it up like that
