I know we can't use roms or kernels, but would we be able to flash or manually push apk files and libs and achieve a working app? In particular I'm referring to the note 2 keyboard themed like the s4. Thanks in advance.
Ok, this is a different story. It might be possible, but you'd need to make sure all dependencies were resolved first

Hello all,
I have been searching for a while but couldn't find any specific info on this subject. I'm wondering if different lockscreens can be used on ROMs other than CyanogenMod. I use TheOfficial HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM, Can custom lockscreens like Stericson's be used? Thank you all Developers/ROM cookers for making all these awesome modifications to these phones possible. Please dont flame me, Im new to all this...
thanks all...
I am pretty sure the lockscreen has not been ported over to 1.6 yet. I know it is being worked on.
I know an unmodified services.jar from the 5a lockscreen will work with akirahs rom, but a modded services.jar will not go past the first splash screen.
Lockscreens can be added to any rom, provided you have the source for it's services.jar, however, as a simple "drop-in", no, it has to be designed for that rom because of specific dependencies between a rom's framework (though two roms based on the same framework should work as long as it's not been odexed). There's a way to do it, though, but it's a lot of work, you could have the services read off of an xml that you can store in your system folder (maybe etc) and toss your changes there. I'm working on..... .nevermind
I really really want the CM messaging app on my G2. I know that I can't uninstall or replace the stock one, but is there a way to add in the one from CM and just use it instead?
Same here, I also wouldn't mind the CM browser as well.
It would appear that we can't remove or replace system apps, and we can't install it as an "update" either because the certs don't match. I think the only way to deal with this is to compile your own Browser.apk with a completely different package name so Android doesn't see a conflict.
along those lines would it be possible to somehow get the messaging.apk from MIUI to work on the G2?

Now that I just got multi-window on my Canadian Note 2, I'd like to do the mod which allows you to add any app to be used with multi-window without needing root.
Before a bunch of you jump on me, yes I've searched the forum and I haven't found much related to the SGH-I317M. I just want to insure I'm doing the right mod so I don't brick/mess up my phone.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
bump... anybody?
so you want to make system changes without rooting? Can I ask why you don't wish to root? I am going to guess that it can't be done on a stock room without rooting. I don't mind if people correct me.
You need root to modify Multi-view to make it work with all the apps; however you can modify the apps to make them work with Multi-view without root.

This is a cry for help, from me and the other NOOBs out here, new to the theming world with no idea where to begin.
I started out with a problem. I hate the UI on my Note Edge Lollipop, as compared to the stock Lollipop ASOP UI. I started about trying to change the entire UI (icons, menus, fonts, notification drawer, app drawer etc) to stock AOSP Lollipop UI. I am not rooted.
I AM LOST. No idea which guide to follow. Don't want to change my launcher. I would prefer not to root, would prefer not to void my warranty, would just prefer to screw around as less as possible while getting as close to stock Lollipop as possible.
And I know there are others around me. So here I am, on behalf of the noobs, requesting all experts to provide a starting point from where to begin changing the UI - completely, with as little messing around as possible. Not just to AOSP but to any other UI that someone else might prefer. Please explain this to us like we are 3 year olds.
1) Options for those who are Not Rooted.
2) Options for those who are Rooted.
Ps. This will not work if only the experts contribute. Everyone here who has something to contribute please do!
Ps. Mods I looked and searched for days. I know there are guides out there but I wanted something Note Edge and Lollipop specific.
As my contribution. I love the work that this Dev has done for the Note 4. But don't know if this will work on our devices. Also Im not rooted yet.

The new TouchWiz on the S6 has themes. Pray that they port it over to us and any other features it has like they used to do before with those Experience updates during the S3 and Note 2 periods...
Mate, there isn't actually a lot you can do for theming without rooting your device. Most themes replace icons in the system files which is impossible to access without root or without being officially supported by Samsung...
The only real way to theme your un-rooted Note Edge is to change the launcher and theme that...
My wishes seem to have been answered within a week. The new Samsung themes app is all we need. Let's hope we get it fast.

Lollipop Touchwiz Theme
Here is themes app for Lollipop touchwiz http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/touchwiz-theme-lollipop-note-4-t3037891. I tryed and it worked. Just don`t flash the zip (that makes your touchwiz home to FC). Just extract the zip and copy all content of zip`s system folder in your devices system folder as it is in zip, except Toucwiz home. Reboot and all done. Now you can change touchwiz themes as you like

So, does your edge notifications still work?
I tried to get a few things changed but after messing with my system folders I lost all edge notifications...
I also opened the system file, did you realise you're installing Apex launcher onto your Note Edge? I already own the pro version of this. In the System>App folder it actually says Apex Pro meaning this could be considered as Warez, if it actually is the pro version...

Yes, notifications works just fine. And i noticed that Apex launcher too. I deleted it so i doesn`t have any clue is it pro or not. I`m not the developer of this, I just pointed you out how you can use themes

Hi. I have installed stock EPD4 following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/general/rom-upgrade-guide-extras-t3410132
I used the debloater script. I read the whole list of apps removed but I missed the browser. I tried installing Samsung Internet from APK Mirror but it doesn't work. Please, can someone give me the app and its relative files? I like tablet mode of Samsung internet, and now I'm sad because it's gone.
I don't want to reinstall the whole rom.
At least, can you tell me which files I have to extract from the rom? I should add them by myself.

I don't know if you are still looking for this, but this is the APK from my Note 2014 on lollipop for the Samsung browser.
