Have a search for it then, if someone has ported those features they would be in a Rom already or else in the Themes and Apps section.

HKTheme doesnt support CM11 themes, you need to use CM10 themes... or themes designed for XTheme/HKTheme.

Hey thanks for the Confirmation, but my concern here is i want to use CM11 themes ; the ones which i had mentioned above with a Stock Rooted ROM , is there any way i can go ahead and do that ?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Unless someone adds cm theme engine to stock rom then you cannot use them. But by doing this it stops becoming stock and becomes a custom rom, just like CM, AOKP etc.
The biggest part of cm themes is the ability to theme styles.xml, with out this your only getting half the theme (png's, some colours and a couple of other things depending on the theme). If your wanting to use cm11 themes to change your bootscreen, fonts and others then your getting even less of the theme overall as they dont work either.
You can port them to work with HKTheme (porting them to cm10 themes would be the easiest option). Even then its hit and miss whether they work or not.
You would ideally port them to XTheme to reduce the risk of HKTheme incompatibility issues.
Even then... you could only use flux for personal use as it's a paid app.
CM has actually improved a LOT since the last time i used it (2 years ago).
It use to feel like a heavily customized and bloated AOSP rom, now it feels like it's an AOSP rom with added features. Things are a lot better integrated these days.
I avoided it like the plague, now I dual boot it on my nook and it runs very well.
Hope this helps.:good:

Thank you I am going to try it. I am a heavy 3G user and use only 1 sim so the 2nd sim bugs don't matter . How is it for gaming? Any idea?

There is no "best ROM" for any smart phone. It all depends on the personal preference of the user. The "best" for one user may not be so for another. For me I prefer the stock ROM as long as I can root, remove unused apps using Titanium backup and use Wanam exposed to tweak I am happy....

Hi there. I had just installed the CM11 but seems to me that there is little problem with the system ui. There will be an endless pixels dropping down on the screen when you press the power button within a fraction of seconds(for ex press the power button once and them press it again after 5 seconds). I would like to know if you are supposed to have a respective kernel or clock recovery module installed in my phone. I had rooted the phone, then installed phliz recovery tool and later installed the CM11 and Gapps to gether. Please help me find out if I have done anything wrong.

Hello friend, we do not do "Best Rom," threads here at XDA... I have closed this thread and moved to its more appropriate location in Q and A...

Hi the best way to remove a System App is by using root. (http://kingroot.br.uptodown.com/android)
After you rooted it, is just going to play store and intall this app to remove de apps (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp)
Anyway you can also follow this tutorial and remove them without rooting
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAe2kxUOhJA)
The best roms now to me are on XDA:
If you want just battery life expanded install one like Helios Or Ressurection
If you want more functions like a lot of customize options use one like Superman or Renovate And you will not lose that look of samsung on main interface
If you want to go further, install an s8 port or s8+ like batman or Sac23's Roms
Personally i use the sac23's rom v5
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-n7-rom-port-romcontrol-t3430358)
It give me a lot of s8 fuctions like Bixby and others, have a really good battery life and manegement and the way they convert the graphics and images like lookscreen clock is just amazing
Hope I have helped you

Yes, but......

1. As much as I know about your writing, you want root. So it's no big deal to remove the app system you want (with root). I usually use titanium backup for it.
2. If you still want without root, maybe this can be tried.

rom advice needed.

newbie question this so forgive me being so niave.
i have a samsung galaxy note 4...its my old phone i have as a spare.
at one stage i had lineage os on it and it was fantastic, slick, fast, clean with superb battery life....but the lineage os for the note 4 was unofficial and was pre-rooted...which meant some apps dont work... snapchat an obvious one.
so... what are my options on roms that are stock android like...which wont be rooted and be stable ?
thanks in advance for any replies.

Air rom unfortunately you can't use some apps due to prerooted rom.
The first rom I used it but if you use any note 7 port the old ui seems outdated. I wish I could unroot someway the Air Rom which I use for daily driver but unfortunately I can't use an app that I need because it's prerooted.

Why dont U ask dev to Unroot it 4 u???? Give it a try. And as always U can unroot it by installing non rooted kernel after installing rom or inject non rooted kernel into Rom.zip. But, ask Dev, rom is great.
And, Note 7 Ports 4 me r better than s8 etc ports

When you are saying some apps are you talking about safetynet getting tripped? Why not just flash Spacelemon non-rooted and flash latest magisk with prop hide module to get it to work. I was able to pass safetynet with the latest version of AirRom at the time.

No worries for you being a newbie, but I just wanted to clarify that you can actually use restricted apps like Snapchat (created a burner account since I don't use it), Netflix, and Android Pay, etc.
Requirements:
- Lastest build from Bonuzzz (Mar.)
- Some basic knowledge on working Magisk
- Download Terminal app
- Possibly a third party file manager (ex. Solid Explorer, ES Files Explorer, etc.)
Steps:
- You need to download this and flash it in your recovery to remove pre-root from your device. https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-remove-15.1-arm-signed.zip
- Head over to the Magisk thread and download the latest version of Magisk (16.0). https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
- Flash Magisk in your recovery and and open the Magisk Manager and update it when prompted.
- Head over back to the Magisk thread and download the MagiskHide Props Config module. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-simple-t3765199
- Open back up Magisk Manager click on the three dashes on the top left and click on the modules tab. Press the button that shows a plus sign and locate the module that you downloaded/saved on your device.
- It should then start flashing through the manager and prompt you to reboot.
- After reboot, download any terminal app (preferably Termux) and open it.
- Type in "Su" and grant it root access. Next, type "props" and it should open up onto an interface.
- Type in "1" to change your device fingerprint and type in "f" to pick a certified fingerprint.
- From here, you can choose whichever certified fingerprint your device wants to be recognized as (I used Samsung Note 5).
- After choosing your certified fingerprint, it will ask you to reboot.
- After reboot, head back into Magisk Manager and click on the SafetyNet Check (It might prompt you to download something). Eventually you should get the same test like in my picture.
- (Optional) Head back into recovery and wipe dalvik cache/cache.
Hopefully this helps out on your problem on apps not working or not letting you install them. Also, this can work for others too that don't use lineage but other Custom ROMs (AirRom, Nemesis, etc.). All you need to do is just install the latest SpaceLemon Non-rooted Kernel or manually unroot and continue with the steps on "Heading over to Magisk Threads". I do hope that this worked for others, and sorry if the instructions are either too long or really complicated on following.

No even with non rooted kernel and magisk hide props and safetynet passes correctly the app does not start due to root existance.I don't know what else to do.

For me the only solution was to flash the no root stock deodexed rom you wrote above earlier today. With air rom and doing every step to pass safetynet correctly the app recognises root whatever I do.

Just saying, but please don't create a thread like this on the Android Development page again.
