Transform Nexus 4 into Galaxy S4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys ,
I'm giving my Nexus 4 to my father to replace his Samsung S4 (broken screen) and i was wondering if i could transform the Nexus 4 into something like the S4 as he is already used to it. (Wallpaper / Sounds / Keyboard / Setings , Icons , Sliding screen etc...)
I tried several themes & launches from the Play Store but they only cover a small portion of what i'm looking for.
Can anyone recommend me a theme or a way to transform my nexus 4 into the Galaxy S4 ?
Thanks

I was stopped my project

Touchwiz Revolution

You can try custom roms that imitate touchwiz. Just search for them here on xda. I really cant make any recommandation, cause I do not own a samsung device to compare it with.
For all I know it is better to teach your father pure android. It isnt that hard to learn.

[Req] S4 reatures + multi window/popup Play mod for Nexus4?

Hey guys! Soo i have been using Nexus 4 for about 2 months now, aand I have been in reach with both my cousins s4&note2 ive played with them and i found the note's multi-screen and pop up feature useful. Well i dont like having to download on 3rd party on google, well either its buggy of i'd have to buy go use all the features.... So i'd want to request if it were possible to port the features, if we can, add in the new apps and features the S4 has as well. Thank you to people who would help and i apologize to those who would find this post annoying. Again, thanks in advance
It'll require porting the touchwiz framework.

Missing My Stock Android Features

I'm coming from a romed Samsung Galaxy Nexus using Android 4.3. The reasons why I bought this phone are:
1. The large, bright, crystal clear screen
2. The ability to multitask (having two apps pulled up and interacting with both of them).
3. The new S Pen
I miss some of my stock android features. Reallllly hoping someone creates a stock android rom for this. Miss the ability to reply to texts from the pull down notification window and miss the stock keyboard auto correct features.

Stock keyboard can be found in the market and used on tw rom. And an aosp rom will take away all the "features" samsung has on this phone it will be like a giant nexus 4 with a stylus

The transpacency is part of the Google Experience launcher which is only available on the Nexus 5. Or if you do a google search for Nexus 4 Google Experience, you can download the .apk files to install it on a Nexus 4.
Sadly, this is a feature only for Nexus 5, but there is a workaround.
Try this http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...once-you-get-your-kitkat-update-apk-download/ or flash a ROM that include GEL (Google Expirience Launcher).

[MOD] 8-BIT and Super Smash Bros. SOUNDPACK (updated 11-1-14)

UPDATE 10/2014
Hi All, I was asked to share my 8 bit sound pack with you all. I always enjoyed the simplistic 5 channel sounds of the Nintendo Entertainment System (80's Baby) and since I have 8bit icons, wallpaper, etc I wanted matching sounds. Any comments are welcome the aren't perfect for everyone. If you have an idea for a better sound for a specific action or other ringtones or notifications, I am all ears.
Included in this .zip are all ui sounds, ringtones, notifications, and alarms.
Warning this .zip DOES replace your ui sounds, but DOES NOT erase your notification or ringtones simply adds some 8bit ones.
I used this mod with my nexus 4 and been using it forever with aosp based rom (RASTAKAT/L Preview) on my Nexus 5. I am only posting now because the forum is quite quiet lately. If anyone would like to take my little mod and use it in their work just give credit where credit is do.
All the zips are in one folder please ensure that you select the right one for your phone.......
8-Bit Sounds Android Lollipop Version --Now also for JellyBean>> >>

Revert Lollipop UI also works for JellyBean(stock sounds) >>

Sup everybody, I just completed the SSB soundpack and I was wondering if anyone would like to give it a try and give me some feedback.
So the pack is inundated with SSB sounds from the UI to the alarms, and when you get a call the crowd cheers for your main SSB character.
If you like SSB Melee, PM, or SSB4 this might be for you.
Feedback is really appreciated.
--quick notes-- works with Lollipop or Jellybean. revert is now in main post^^. revert works for Lollipop or JellyBean.

Actually I do not use backgrounds I am a big battery buff and the more colors used on the screen the more power consumed. So a good icon pack and Zelda inspired battery monitor and I am happy.
