Hi all, quick question.
Does anyone know can I make the status bar on my Galaxy S4 look like the status bar did on the Nexus 7, Nexus 5, Nexus 4, etc.. when they ran Android 4.3? I really like the blue UI elements and would like to get that UI on my GS4.
My Galaxy S4 is currently rooted on 4.3. Stock ROM, bootloader, etc...
Is this mod a simple .apk installation, or something far more complex?
I have a background in theming and modifying UI elements in iOS (as I was an avid iPhone user from 2008 to mid-2013), but this is my first time wanting to modify the looks of my Android device. Any help, links, or guidance is much appreciated!
I've attached a screenshot of my device's lockscreen with white status bar icons, and I've also attached an screenshot from a Nexus device with the blue UI elements that I'm desiring.

Yes definitely grab wanam. You can do what you want, actually mine looks kinda like what you're going for, and its really easy to do.

Edit
Tried uploading a similar pic as far as my notification panel goes but wouldn't let me..

Your best bet would be rooting, using the Xposed Framework and something like the HK Theme Manager or Xtheme Engine to make significant changes to the look of the system. These tools work well on most devices, but it can be hard to theme stock HTC roms as they have a very different theming structure vs most devices and generic theming tools can only go so far. Other than that, best you could do without a rom (or root) would be a different launcher that either hides the status bar or comes with it's own (have only seen an iPhone looking launcher with that function) or hide the status bar and figure out how to make something like Zooper Widget to help create your own little section at the top for the clock and battery status - though this stuff would only work on the home screen.
If you REALLY want to change stuff, the best option is a rom and there's really not much getting around it without compromises.
Hello guys. Has anyone tried completely changing the theme of Galaxy S5 to the Nokia N9 Meego theme ? i mean im talking about even changing the home screen like that of Meego with all apps shows vertically on the main page and gestures like action as well, plus the icons
why would anyone do that ?
Well Why not

You could use a Launcher to have these facilities like- icons, gestures etc.
I want too for my i9500
I've been looking for a way to replace the lollipop notification pulldown with the one from the old holo systemui (the one with the toggles on a separate page, e.g. on jellybean). I'm currently running rooted CM13 on this phone.
I know some people prefer the new design, but I like the old one better. Would it be possible to do this, short of using CM11? I haven't seen anything anywhere similar to this.
Thanks

Just choose a JB or KK rom.

Uh, this is quite improbable. Worth's more downgrading to some ROM which uses Holo. You can also dual boot your phone xD
Hi
I am really not a fan of the current style of heads-up notifications on android phones which is bulky and thick.
currently using OnePlus 7 Pro
I saw my dads Samsung Note10 and i liked its notification style its small and subtle.
I also loved how notifications came up on the older androids just on the status bar.
Is there anyway we can change the heads-up notification style?
I did plenty of research.
Theres an app called Notify BETA that kinda does what i would like but somehow its not updated and does not work on my phone.
Can someone please suggest of help me with this? I would be really happy.
Thanks a lot.

There is an app called Galaxy Notification ... But i don't like few things about it and have emailed the developer ... Even I'm searching for a good alternative.
I received my Galaxy Tab S7+ and much to my dismay - Galaxy Themes doesn't work. Hell, it doesn't even exist on our tablets. I did not know this prior to purchasing the tablet.
I have grown very fond of using Hex themes to modify my OneUI to have AOSP icons and what not on my Samsung phones and was hoping to do the same to my Tab S7+. When I download the actual .apk file from Sammobile and installed it, I pretty much got nowhere as when I click on the app it just takes me to the apps permissions.
Now, I had no real intention of rooting this tablet as I just didn't need to, but this would legitimately qualify as a reason to obtain root. Thus, my question being - is it possible to somehow install Samsung's Galaxy Themes app and have it work via root? Has anyone had success in somehow theming their Samsung tablet?
I'm loving the tablet, but absolutely despise the boring blue theme and certain aspects of the notification shade that I change with hex themes/galaxy themes.
Cheers!
I use the Nova Launcher instead. So I can use the icon set of my choice.
I'll believe, that root doesn't help in this case

It's not the stock launcher icons that bother me, oddly enough, it's the quick setting icons, quick settings colour, notification divider, etc. things that can't be changed with a launcher.
I tried using the app named One Shade by TreyDev but there are bugs so its none too enjoyable.
I am no expert, but rooting will not help. You need to have a Galaxy phone ROM ported over that supports theming. I own the Note Pro 12.2 LTE and I am running the ported Note 7 ROM with theme support and I am loving it. Relax, it is a new device and someone will surely port a ROM over that supports theming.
Use Goodlock to change things like the quick settings.

In developer options, you can change icon shape and quick setting accent color.
