I decided to theme my phone like Kitkat and it is awesome! I will post screenshots and a tutorial. Please note that anything that happens to your phone is not my responsibility. I used Shpongle 20130630 ROM but this might work with any ROM. Downloads will be at the end of this post.
NOTE: THIS MADE MY QUICKSETTINGS TILES GO AWAY. I don't know why. This MAY happen to you. Edit: This issue is solved with an update in Play Store.
Steps:
1) Download everything from the bottom of this post.
2) Set Nova launcher as your default launcher. You can do this by going to Nova settings>Select Default Home
3) Go to Nova settings>Desktop>Scroll Indicator. And select the one with dots(the middle one). Also, go to Nova settings> Look and feel> Color theme and select white. Now, press on "Icon font" and select "condensed".
4) Install Xposed Framework.
5) Open Xposed Installer and go to "Framework". Select Install/Update.
6) Reboot
7) Install Gravitybox
8) Enable Gravitybox in Xposed. For this, open xposed, go to modules and tick on Gravitybox
9) Reboot
10) Open Gravitybox
11) Go to statusbar tweaks>transparency management and keep launcher transparency to 100% and lockscreen transparency to 56%
12) Next, open Gravitybox>Statusbar tweaks>Statusbar color. Tick on "Enable icon colors". Do Statusbar icon color and data activity color as white.
13) Install Kitkat theme from Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AJ.theme.kitkat)
14) Go to Settings>Themes. Slide over to the Kitkat theme and press on the select button on the top right(it looks like a square with a arrow coming out. If something is prompted, select "Apply anyway"
15) Go to nova launcher. Press menu button and select wallpaper. Select anyone from Kitkat!
16) Nova Launcher got an update on 16/11 so that the app drawer looks just like 4.4 To enable this, go to Nova Settings>Drawer and tick on "Small Tabs"

Oh this was so basic , wonder y create a thread for it
Thanks a lot mate, I spent at least 5 hours trying to figure out how to make home screen status bar transparent, I tried so many xposed modules (XBlast tools, and many more) but they didnt work, GravityBox worked perfectly
And BTW, what is that clock app which you use on homescreen and lockscreen? Dont have it on my shpongle 521
And: If your quick settings disappear, you can enable 'Hide AM/PM' in clock settings, that fixed it for me.
Please provide GravityBox link that bring people to the thread itself instead of downloading it. Besides, it isn't the latest version.

The problem was that every time halo was activated a FC of system-ui appeared. Installing the last non halo version and applying the same steps, non of this behavior appears.
System-ui FC seemed to be caused by the exposed framework. At least problems started after installation of the framework.

I've found something that you might wanna try.
**DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST**
To get listview and transition animation from android 4.3 (Nexus 7) follow the following steps:
1) Download Xposed Installer apk from here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.ro...osed.installer
2) Install the apk
3) Launch app: select Framework > Install/Update > Soft reboot or Reboot (both works just the same)
4) After reboot, download XuiMod apk from here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.xuimod
5) Install the apk
6) Again, launch Xposed Installer app: select Modules > (click on the small box on the left of XuiMod if its not checked with a 'tick' )
7) Then click on XuiMod ( the area beside the checkbox )
OR
Just simply launch XuiMod app
8) ???
9) Profit.
P.S: I don't own or create these mods. make sure go to the respective thread to thank the devs

ThanX very nice
NOTE: If you want the gradient status bar like KitKat (and not the Lollipop-like one here), set the transparency in GravityBox to 1% (not 0, else it won't work). Then download the Tinted Status Bar module for Xposed and after activating the module, open its app. Find Google Search in the list, and select the activity com.google.android.launcher.GEL - give it the status bar tint 66000000. Tap Apply, and you'll have a KitKat gradient on your launcher status bar.
You can now also download the official google camera app. That means Photo Spheres!

I granted all the permissions already and its still not working. I am using xperia z2 existenz 5.0 deodexed
after opening the menu the background is white in colour .. that's pretty annoying , will it be possible for me to change it to black , or may be transparent ??
Works like a charm on my Z3 existenz 5.6.5 no problem at all
For peeps who's fail or got issue please give info what ROM, odex / deodex I'm sure it'll help Dev while porting an app
can we get 5 apps on the dock? like the real pixel?

Okay, thank you very much for the clarification, I got it. What do you think will there be any possibility to work it without root in future?
Hey is the shortcuts function included in this version?
It doesn't work for me!
How come it only has 4 icons in dock and not 5. Grid size is also 4x5
I revert back to leaked Launcher3 coz have 5 apps on the dock
simple solution for who want 5 apps on te dock is edit the display density to 280 dpi
unrooted device: adb shell wm density 280
Plz add 4x5 drawer app and hide app options
Everything working fine on my Z5.
Thanks a lot!
