Hi, i hope i understand clearly - do you want install custom theme, right? So you have to install ROM with theme manager support, like CM or AOKP.
Difference between theme and ROM?? Sorry, but this is veeery noob question... Theme only modifies system look. ROM... is a ROM This is a whole system.
And yes, you can install CM 11 BUT:
- You have to install firstly newest CWM Recovery 6.0.4.3
- make full wipe and system wipe before install

a theme only replace the system ui and some apps ui and for using it you must have installed a rom that supports the theme engine, so a rom replace the entire system, it is something like a custom version of android!
[you can install the xposed framework and xthemeengine too, so you can apply a theme without changing rom]
and cyanogenmod 11 can be installed on the gnex, not on 4.2.2! it will replace your 4.2.2 with a custom and adapted [and very smooth and performant] android 4.4.2 kitkat!

If it is aosp based rom... U get heaps of themes on Google play... If u r running sense based rom. Then check apps and theme section.... Every rom got their individual theme support..
For asop based rom.. Install the theme app like usual apps from Google play store.. U gta install it via theme engine..
For sense based... They have ota support like viper x rom or install it via recovery..

And if you decide to flash a theme, make a nandroid backup before. When it does not work somehow you can easily restore !
One thing: If you are still on Stock ROM, most of the themes here will not work because Stock is odexed and the themes are made for deodexed CustomROMs.
The Apps you downloaded from PlayStore will download automatically again when you flash a CustomROM and tick "save my device with google" (dont know exactly what this point is called when setting the device up, because here it´s called "Gerät über Google sichern" )
The same for contacts/calendar, if you sync them via google, they will be synced with the new ROM too.
LG, Helmut
I'm no pro at this but I can imagine how clueless you feel right now
If you want to install new themes then you have a few options, you can continue to use the stock rom that you are on right now and look for some themes that will work with Sense; the playstore is the best place to get these themes to use in conjunction with the launchers, for example Go Launcher, Nova Launcher etc.
Your other option, which is more fun, is to install AOSP roms and then you will be able to install a lot of smexy custom *themes

No you cant, you can use some of the apps maybe, like for example a calculator or browser, but not the framework, so it wont bevthe full rom.

This is a custom ROM.
So what I mean is: this is NOT official ROM from Samsung, but it is built from a firmware like that (stock based ROM), so You will have all the Spen features and Sasmung stuff. It is rooted, You probably trigger your knox flag and Your warranty will be void.
Non stock based ROMS are others that don't support all samsung apps, like Snote, Multiwindow etc. These are for example: Cyanogenmod, AOSP, AOKP, AOSB, Paranoid Android, MIUI and others.

To make it easier for you to understand ,the ROM link you provided is "stock" samsung ROM but the difference is it's "pre rooted" (but you still got to update to latest SuperSu by chainfire for the apps to detect it's root) and it's dedoxed. It has NO note 3 or Samsung S5 modded apps ,if you want to a ROM with note 3/s5 apps go for DN3RC2 or Jellykat v5 both are based on leaked NC2 firmware (the official one is ND3). As you said you are on stock 4.3 so there's a guide made available by a fellow xda user @smeet.somaiya where you don't need to root or worry about deknoxing ,link to his Thread.Follow his guide if you don't want to root your phone yet

Yes, mostly any custom ROM is better than a stock ROM.
It's faster and it has mostly more features, for example You may have Note 3 and S5 features (however not all of them if our phones don't have a proper hardware for it, f.e. fingerprint scanner etc.)
To install other ROM it's mostly recommended to do a full wipe, as upgrading may result in many "Force closes" or the phone won't even boot.
So always wipe data, dalvik cache when changing to other ROM.

tnx
can you tell me guys what custom rom is better than all custom roms ? DN3 or jellycat ? (on android 4.4)
it's a LEAKED stock rom before official French 4.4.2 release.
it does have more tweaked function but is a customized one. it also doesn't work like DrKetan_MultiTool as it doesn't provide other fumctionality other than to flash the rom.

Somehow the DN3 couldn't boot at my note. From stock based ROMs I used only AirCommand ROM and it was working pretty well, however I personally prefer CM-based ROMs, they are much faster and support ART.
