Here's some new code that will give you all of the tweaks and goodies found in the best roms but without having to flash a rom. These work on the SGN10.1. This is not my work, just passing it along. If you break your rig that's on you.

READ THIS! >> To use this you will need Busybox (just download and install from the Market) and INIT.D support (how to get that posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883125). I'm not kidding. This WILL NOT WORK without these.
Faster internet browsing
Longer battery life
Improved multitasking
Better JPG image quality
Higher quality recording from the camera
Faster scrolling
More responsive touch controls
Extra themes
** I have noticed that trying to implement the AdBlocker Tweak causes the installation to hang for me. I would avoid that. YMMV.
** PLEASE DIRECT ALL INSTALLATION AND FUNCTIONALITY QUESTIONS TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR'S THREAD. I DID NOT WRITE THIS JUST PASSING ALONG THE WORD.
** I KNOW THE AUTHORS ARTICLE INSTRUCTS YOU TO EMBED THIS IN YOUR CUSTOM ROM BUT I FOUND THAT YOU CAN JUST FLASH IT IN RECOVERY AS LONG AS YOU HAVE INIT.D AND IT WORKS JUST FINE.
Has anyone tried these? They are actually quite awesome.
I want to try it but would it work for a stock rom?

Yes that's the point. It gives you all the features of a custom rom without flashing a rom.

Yeah I ended up trying it and it definitely makes the battery drain even slower and the wifi speed is faster!! Everyone should try this ASAP there's soooo many tweaks and it managed to make this tab faster....I honestly don't think jb will improve that much especially using these tweaks!

I just Flash it few minutes ago. Definitely tweaks the system. I can feel it. I just don't try all the tweaks. Hulu Is not working for me. Crash the launcher.

One thing I notice is that I can now play HD YouTube videos without buffering issues. Also web browsing seems very quick.
Anyway not sure how all the tweaks will work with our bit if kit here so I just went with the ones I recognized.

Guys I'm not an expert on this code. If you read the author's OP and followup you know as much about how this works as I do.

I must not have selected that option somehow. I have been getting a lot of buffering issues watching HD youtube videos since flashing this. I will try again to see if that will fix it.

I believe it is the video streaming tweak.
I know there was one floating around for the E4GT, but I'm guessing it's not compatible with the S4.
Would anyone with experience modifying apps and/or theming be willing to teach me how to make the Accuweather Widget transparent?

I don't think you can but today I used the 1weather app and after you add the widget you can customize the Opacity making it very transparent at 0%.

I'm watching this with great interest. I too want a transparent weather widget and I wonder why it's not an option? when you select a folder on the home screen the widget DOES go transparent. See the attached screenshot. So it seems that there should be somewhere within the XML to turn this on all the time?
You guys still want a transparent weather widget lol? Just cause I love u guys
Gimme a few seconds and i'll upload it
Here you go guys, Finally lol!
Doeasnt matter what ROM or SYstemUI your on, This is Universal, so it will work anywhere, store & save it. MOre to come!!!!!!

Looking for the simple UX, minimal UI and 100% functionality that Quiet Hours (CM10+) or Motorola Assist (4.2+ on MotoX) provide where there are no notifications, no LED, no vibration and only phone calls allowed during set hours. Both seem seem to be integrated at the system level to provide the user with minimal interruption for the set hours.
Not sure if this is as simple as pulling something out of CM/AOSP or looking at the Motorola Assist .apk or what.
I got $20 on this for anyone who can do it. If anyone else is interested, please add your pledge.
Why don't you just get an app like Llama (can be found on the Play Store) and set specific hours or locations, whatever you choose, to enable a silent profile with only calls coming thru. This isn't that difficult... simple free apk called Llama has done this for me every night since ICS.

No ability for calls to ring through. Uninstalled.

Agreed, tasker can do all of this and much more

LOTS of settings in there. Uninstalled.
If you haven't used either "Quiet hours" or Motorola "Assist", the screen shots attached show how easy it can be.
The first picture is of CM/AOSP "Quiet Hours" settings found in Settings>Sounds. As you can see, minimal in settings and it works.
The second/third pictures is of Motorola "Assist" on the MotoX. The third picture is the first screen you are given, where the second screen allows you to pick how calls are handled. Again, minimal and it works.
I appreciate the suggestions, but these two examples of what I would like to see are what I would like to see.
Before I fell in love with Tasker, I used Timeriffic, which has a super easy layout. I've also run CM, so I'm familiar with those settings, but really Timeriffic is more powerful (without being confusing)

The single biggest function I am looking for is something that allows only for calls (whether the first call or second) to come through during set hours 11pm-6am. Timeriffic doesn't recognize my XPosed framework and thinks that my phone and notification volumes are linked, where I have separated them. Unless Timeriffic can recognize this separation, I won't be able to get it to do what I want, which is to have no notifications between 11pm-6am, except for phone calls.

Here, try this. I made a Tasker app that you install and click the icon and it will set the volumes to the presets shown in the screenshot. Lemme know if you need anything changed, or want another app to revert to your normal volume settings. You dont need the actual Tasker app installed to use this, either.

Yeah, it doesn't work. It's just like Blocking Mode when the S3 was originally released. You could find it and turn it on in a similar way, but it didn't actually do anything when turned on (even though the icon was displayed in the task bar just like it is for this).

Yup the GN2 was the same way. It required extensive code to get it working right due to the integration with TouchWiz. I am hoping this might be quite a bit simpler.
I am going to compare the t-mobile code and the vzw code to see the differences.
