Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 running Sammy Deluxe S5 ROM. However I love the look of material design in android L but will loose S4 features including the camera app, if I were to install an stock google rom and theme it, I had pacman ROM for start and being new to custom roms I didn't realize that i'll get rid of all S4 features so installed teh Sammy Deluxe S5 ROM as it's based on touchwiz.
I instead have started changing the theme by installing go launcher and using a android L icon pack (android L launchers aren't as feature rich as go launcher). I've also used wanam xposed to change the color of the notification draw however there are some issues.
Everything looks fine except the draw handle (blue bar at the bottom of drawer) is still the same S5 colors and with brightness slider enabled there is a white line above the notification bar but that goes away if I disable the brightness control but I've installed Icontrol centre to get around that issue until I can find a way to fix it properly.
Is there anyway I can manually theme the phone, I've started looking at APK modding and have looked through the ROM files but can't seem to find anything to change the colors of the notification drawer. Even better would be if there is any other xposed module that can theme more expects of the galaxy S5 also would be nice to theme the settings too.

there are many modules available for themeing in closed installer
you can try gravity box its superb
Use Gravity Box or Wanam Xposed for theming.
Not all modules are compatible with android 4.3 or 4.4
Im on stock rooted ROM and was wondering when ever i change my build.prop to use the s5 tiles it also changes my 4g icon on my status bar and it looks weird. Is there anyway i can change it?
Yes there's a tip to do that but you will lose the s-view function.
Thats fine
Starting a separate thread for missing/broken functions on Rooted Xposed Note 4 On Stock Touchwiz Kitkat 4.4.4
HELP :
Customised the phone in every possible way except three functions still missing :
a. Lockscreen widgets not available with phone on Pattern Lock, only on Swipe or None. Used to be easily available on my earlier JB Note3. But now Xposed Modules for Lockscreen Widgets or Widgetlocker are not working. Only way I can get them is by installing an S5 Xposed module for Locker Widgets and then Samsung Multiple Widgets Module. But that only gets me going on Swipe Lock, not pattern/Fingerprint/PIN.
b. Unable to change the stock dialer's background color. Earlier in my Note 3 JB had black color when call was dialing which changed to green only once the call connected, in this stock Kitkat ROM the color is green beforehand so that without vibration its impossible to know if the call is connected unless you are listening through earpiece. All 3rd party Dialers are of no use since at the time of actual calling they all take you to stock Dialer.
c. Whenever I try to select any text in any app, soon as I take the selection cursor behind the popped-up keyboard the selection cursor disappears and I CANNOT select any more text below. In the previous JB ROM, I could continue scrolling down and selecting text automatically even behind the Keyboard, but not anymore. Dont know if this is stock behavior or one of the apps/Xposed modules triggered this. Members can guide.
PLEASE HELP.
Anyone can help me with these 3 functions please? Im desperate, can try any paid app or module too.
Anyone??????

Just to update point no.c is resolved. Instead of using stock Gmail App if you use Email App then the problem disappears, and I had issue mainly with my mail app.
Now if only a and b also get resolved, I will have a truly Magical Phone
Quick Update : Used Hell00's Dialer Mod to change the background color to Black theme, so part of the dialer issue resolved. But the background color doesnt change once call connected like it did with my Note3 JB, so only partly resolved.
Hi guys,
I bought a new note 4 yesterday, after my note 3 is dead.
I was used to install cyanogenmod rom when I buy a new galaxy phone.
I like to be on stock android like nexus devices.
This time! I don't what to install cyanogenmod to my new note 4 from many reasons, I like the s pen features and fingerprint scanner! But still I want the look and feel of stock android!
I can install theme "material theme" and nova luncher or Google now luncher to change the look. The look will change to a good point but the notifications on status bar and drop down menu won't change of course. They will be touchwiz style!
Also I can change the status bar icons to be like stock with xposed modules, but the pull down menu! Still I don't figure it out.
Is that possible to change it completely? The look and functionality?
And for the notifications, can we change samsung style small notifications on status bar to big drop down notifications like on stock?
I hope to not forced to install a custom rom!
Now that Wanam Xposed is off the charts and XTouch does not sound like it will have the theming options Wanam had, is there any way to edit the Notification Panel? Green is seriously not my colour (unless we are talking eyes ) and I hate the persistent *S Finder* and *Quick Connect* icons on there. If there is no app to edit the notification panel, how about a port of the S6/ S7/ Note 5 panel? Failure to all that and I'll take a Port of S6/S7/ Note 5 Rom that stays as close to TW as possible. Anything to get out of greensville. Any links/ info is much appreciated.
P.S Rocking a rooted n910h

Try the dn5 0.6.1 rom, its a fantastic s7 port for n910H or n910C, and the status bar is white not green, and u can remove the quick connect bar if you'd like.
Its completely stock and fantastically stable. You have access to themes as well.
You wont be sorry!
try good lock version 24.0.10(a newer version exists, but keeps popping up the sidebar)
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/
it gives you a notification area similar to AOSP style, but with a lot of customization.
it has smaller buttons, notification grouping, and you can select almost any color for the theme.
the theme color is always a set of 4 colors(picking dark blue for example gives dark blue text and buttons, light blue background, and green indicators) but you can shuffle these 4 colors around for things like darker backgrounds.
it's designed by Samsung for the S7/S7edge but works fine without root on the note 4 with android 6.0.1

Flipster does that, i am using it, available on play store, download it, & you can modify SystemsUI with it, not just that, it works for every other application also.
