[HTC One X+] spielnicht:
I thought I'd start a thread to post the top (best) things to do with your AT&T HOX+ on a stock ROM.

Unlock Bootloader, Install CWM Recovery & Root

In order to be able to do many of things listed here, you will need to have root access to your phone. Follow the following thread to unlock and root your phone. By unlocking your bootloader, you'll be able to install custom ROMS down the road if/and when you want.

Disable AT&T Crap-ware

The one and only time I'll give kudos to Apple is that they don't let the carriers load up their phones with preinstalled crap-ware. Sadly, not the case with Android. So, you're left with manually having to disable them. Luckily you only need to it once.

Below is the list of Apps to disable (unless you actually want to use any). Simply go the Settings > Apps > All and select Disable for each app.

AT&T Code Scanner

AT&T Family Map

AT&T Hot Spots

AT&T Locker

AT&T Messages

AT&T Navigator

AT&T Ready2Go

Device Help

Facebook (sorry, Google+ user)

Internet (if you use Chrome only)

Live TV

ME Infiltrator

NOOK

YPmobile

Enable Tether (on AT&T)

Obviously you should have a legit tethering plan with AT&T [chuckle], but you can easily bypass their check and enable it on your HOX+ utilizing the stock wifi tethering app (no need for 3rd party apps).

Disable AT&T ANNOYING Boot Animation

The AT&T boot animation is just annoying, loud and obnoxious. With this little tweak, you can disable it and just have the HTC stock boot animation enabled.

Disable Automatic AT&T WiFi Hotspot

Nothing annoys me more than being close to a Starbucks (or any AT&T Hotspot locations) and being forced to connect to their WiFi, only to get crap to zero connection and then having to disable WiFi on your phone and forgetting to turn it back on later. URGH. Not to mention LTE is blazing fast in comparison.

Use Google Voice for Voicemail

Whether you use Google Voice all the time or not, you can have your phone use its VM option instead of AT&T's. I prefer it because I have an easy archive of all my VMs, easier access from anywhere, and obviously having them transcribed for me.

Normally you can select your VM carrier through the Google Voice app on your phone, but obviously AT&T blocks this. Instead, all you have to do is dial the following:

Activate:**004*1XXXXXXXXXX#, where is Xs represent your 10-digit Google Voice number

Deactivate: ##004#

Replace Default Keypress Sounds

The stock HTC keyboard is decent, but fails horribly at swipe predictions and is very limiting. You have many options out there for 3rd party keyboards, and of course the stock Android JB 4.2 keyboard with swipe. For me, I found Swype Beta to be the best in terms of layout, swipe predictions and other cool little features.

The problem with Swype (or stock Android 4.2 keyboard) is that it uses the keypress sounds found under /media/ui which HTC never bothered to update from the days of Android 2.0. Needless to say they're horrid.

If you find yourself wanting to use either of these keyboards, you can easily extract the keypress sounds from the HTC keyboard APK and use them instead by copying them over to /media/ui.

What you'll notice is that Swype doesn't have a volume control for the keypress sounds, and they're set to UBER high. What I did is take the sounds from the HTC keyboard APK and then used Audacity to reduce the gain by -13 and that gives you a perfect level.

For Swiftkey fans, unfortunately the keypress sounds are stored inside of their APK, it doesn't use the system default.

I didn't post the sounds because I presume they're copyrighted by HTC, so you'll need to get them yourself...very easy.

Got More?

Please add any other useful tweaks that I might have missed (or that I...or others...don't know about). Just keep in mind two things:

Tweaks must work on HOX+ STOCK AT&T ROM

and…tweaks only, no apps
