A few things - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

A few questions, or tweaks rather...
Is there any way to enable CRT off?
How to add custom ringtones/notification tones?
Thanks for your help.

For CRT off, it will have to be enabled through a custom ROM. I don't believe there is a setting for it currently in Sense 4.0 (could be wrong though).
For custom notifications, extract any sounds to the media folder when you plug your phone into your computer.
Here's a pack of 640 Notification sounds / ringtones from OEMs

Hmm, too bad on the CRT off animation. Thanks for the notification tip.
Also, after you install a 3rd party keyboard (in my case the ICS keyboard) how do you enable it? I dont see anywhere to enable that one and disable the HTC keyboard.

You should be able to enable it there.

I'll be including it with an advanced power menu in the near future.
It's done by editing the smali in android.policy.jar
When its done, you can just cut and paste it to the /system/framework/ folder and then restart (with fastboot power option turned off of course).

I can see the new keyboard, but I cant seem to activate it... the Sense keyboard still overrides it.

You turn it on then open a text box somewhere. Drop the notification drawer down and select your keyboard

1/2 hour screen time? You have a defective battery or either horrible connection and constantly roaming. That is not normal at all. I'm mad (not really) if I get less than 5 hours screen time

I use this for custom ringtones

Edit whatever music you want into a ringtone and when it prompts you to make default it'll move it into the ringtones folder. Works great for custom rings

[Q] Battery Life

Is anyone have really bad battery life ? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but Mine has gone from 100% TO 92% in 25mins.

if youre constantly using wifi/data plan and using the phone, im sure thats normal. if its on standby and its been decreasing..not sure. maybe go to recovery mode and clear battery stats.
That looks to be fairly typical to what I've seen on my own phone (stock rom).
I'm on the unlimited data plan, so I'm usually always doing something.

What were u doing when it went down - browsing? on call? games? streaming music? Gotta be more specific.
stock rom here, I use Screebl (from Android Market) to control display ON time. My timeout is 15 seconds, but the app will keep the screen on depending on the angle I am holding the phone. This saved quite a bit of battery life for me. Also, I reduced the frequency of the data polling and turned off data connection at night when sleeping. Turning off wifi when it's not in range should improve longevity, too.
hope this helps!
During my afternoon commute, I don't think I could get 3 hours of "game time" on my phone. Typically after about 2 hours of "Plants vs Zombies" in the foreground and a whole-lot of Storm8 games in the background, I'm lucky to have 30% left on my battery.
Time to do some housekeeping, I'd say. That, or invest in a 15,000mah battery pack.

The screebl sounds cool. I primarily use llama to toggle stuff based upon digital conditions; if list of conditions x are yes, toggle y controls. It works good for me.

Battery life really depends on your configuration and what you have running. You can try following this guide to see what is draining your battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937080
Also, if you're rooted and running a custom ROM then your build.prop, radio and RIL can all affect battery life.

Here is one of my own examples that have similar results.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Example 3:
That last one was only down to 37%. Also, web browsing will kill battery faster than certain other things. I keep my screen brightness at around 35% as well. Doesn't need to be any higher than that indoors.

Nice! After having that damn iPhone I got so used to plugging in my phone whenever I am near a charger...I get paranoid whenever it drops below 90% lol. I gotta drop that habit and actually test out what kinda battery life I can get with this thing.
Wow the moment I have LTE on... I barely get 10hrs of usage. (Mind you I'm on it all the time and constantly)...
So it's not bad. But will see what happens with LTE off.
Managed to stay off charger for over 3 days 4 hours this weekend, before the phone died earlier today.
Just a little over 2 hours screen time. No LTE. The rapid dip was when I was playing Shadowgun yesterday.
can you guys post the settings you're running to get that type of battery life?
push email? what's sync'ing in the background and are you on LTE?

My phone can't touch that mainly because of LTE. Having LTE on is one thing but I'm in an LTE area so its always on LTE and it kills battery like nothing else. Wish there was a way to turn it off. This sucks.

Ain't it great? There's LTE pretty much EVERYWHERE around here. With my iPhone 4S on HSPA+ I couldn't get any data at all in the city because their network is so bogged down. Couldn't browse the web, could BARELY check facebook... terrible. With the One X and LTE, I have data everywhere and the lowest speed I've recorded so far was still 3mbps. Fricken' awesome.

PSA- Hidden power saver settings menu

Just found this on pocketables, there is a hidden power saver menu that allows us to adjust a bunch of stuff to save some juice. Some of the options don't seem to do anything but I'm thinking it's because there is a percentage threshold where it kicks in at. Anyway, download QuickShortcutMaker from the play store and scroll down until you find power saver settings, or just type power into the filter box and it will pop up. Doing that adds a shortcut to your homescreen to access the hidden menu. Play around with it, see if it helps you gain some more battery life.

I see most of them were already checked. Does that mean invoking this just put those defaults on or they were always ON and there isn't much we can do about those.
Pretty sure they were already on. The reduce cpu and framerate were also checked but I unchecked those. I really think this stuff only kicks on when your phone goes into power saving mode, ie. when it's at 15% or whatever it may be.
Why the hell would they hide those? Tricky little suckers. LOL

No clue, I have noticed no immediate results. As I said before, I don't think any of it kicks in until power saving mode turns on when your battery is low.
I added a comment there, but will here also:
Sorry to burst your bubbles- Changing the settings has had no effect at all on my stock unrooted AT&T HTC One X, which I'm sure is why it's hidden.

Custom Sense Lockscreens! Get'em while they're hott!

Get ready for Sense 4.x lockscreens! Not too long ago it was discovered the sense Lockscreen can be VERY customizable via M10 code and an awesome program by the virtuous team, VTS. I've been putting in a lot of time and alot of headache towards this, and best believe ill continuously work on these.
Credits go to il duce and Gumby63 for the much appreciated help. They are awesome themers! Also thanks to Monkboy for helping me test the flashables
Ideas are very welcome, and I may be able to take a few requests if its not too far fetched. (I'm still very new to this). Be warned i can't guarantee times as I have a family and a baby about to be born
A few things I can do/can be done
-Move lockring
-Move clock
-Move icons
-Shrink/enlarge
-Hide, modify
-Take away text
Disclaimer: being this customization is fairly new and not many are involved yet, if you choose to move shortcuts/lockring they might not drag into ring correctly. This is still being explored, and is also tied in with smali code.
So first up there will always be a "back to stock" lockscreen. Flash this to get back to 100% stock Sense 4 lockscreen

Next we have a fairly simple, right handed lock with icons centered above the ring. Everything seems to work fine.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764834
Next is a custom lock with the full ring to the right with the icons shaped around it. Badass! Swipe diagonal to unlock, clock at bottom. (Only bugs I can see is the phone or "bottom" icon has trouble dragging into the ring. The other three shortcuts do well although not extremely fluid just yet.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764835
As requested I moved moved everything to the left. Everything works except the bottom icon, there is a spot where it works, just hard to find lol
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092765039
*NEW* Center mod, curved icons. Everything works great except I just found out the notifications are acting crazy. Will try to fix quickly

Please do!! If anyone posts any screens or idlescreen apks here in this thread I will add them to the OP and give full credit to the creator. Its fairly simple, matter of editing a few values.. its tricky to find what controls what but when you do its a matter of playing with it

Massively speed up Galaxy S4 - Temporary fix to reduce Lag

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeKoJfuiy_Y
This seems to help a lot
Settings
Developer options
Change Windows animation scale to OFF
Change Tranition animation scale to OFF
Change animation duration scale to OFF
Yes it gets rid of all the fancy animations, but until Samsung fix this, its a temporary fix
This is the 1st thing I do on all my Android phones. Helps on EVERY phone, not just the sg4.

What do the animation transitions etc do?

Exactly what you'd expect, a quick dissolving effect when you go to the home screen, switch between apps etc.
Ha ha ha lets turn off the animation efects and this will make the phone faster...This make phone more ugly because you torn off visual efects,and nothing about overall procesor and work speed.NOTHING!
Wrong. I prefer the look without the animations and it does in fact make the phone much more responsive which is all good because lag sucks and that fix along with killing the S-voice on the home key makes the phone a whole lot better to live with.
I prefer them off. Much snappier. Thanks.

Lol why do you even buy GS4 if you are going to close all visual effects?

Idk about you, but I rather sacrifice on animation than lag.

How's this relevant, unless you were hoping for some quick relief while picking up tech tips?

Hmmm could be a long (infinite) wait if the s3 is anything to go by. I'm getting home screen redraws now too. I really thought having 2 gb ram would have sorted that.

I'm glad this guy figured it out.
What's really interesting is that despite the tons of other threads about disabling transitions in developer options, he someone managed to make his phone 10 times faster than all of those! And it's even quoted in the thread title like the absolutely factual factoid that it is! Win!
Plus, as an added bonus, rather than simply making a duplicate thread with text, that takes only a few seconds to disregard, this is a link to Youtube... Quality all around.

Who knew disabling something can make it faster? Another tip for you then which you may not be aware of. If you want to improve battery life, use it as little as possible. Hope that helps.
It's mind blowing how many people actually complains that the s4 lags!
my s4 is quick and snappy. Stock touchwiz qualcom version.
Even with air gestures and s voice enabled, there is no sign of lag or stutter.
