One problem
Tried it out and it's GREAT! The only problem I see is picking the theme. I try picking DIY Picture because I just want a solid background and not some animation but when I click my gallery and pick a picture it just redirects me to choosing an app to pick my picture. It doesn't let me just pick a picture and set it, it just reverts back to the menu to pick a picture.
Can you tell me how to activate the iOS7 theme?
How to make your Galaxy S6 look like stock Android:
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Root Access (Go to ChainFire's CF Auto-Root repository and get yourself the cf auto-root .tar.md5 file (Galaxy S6: zeroflte))
2. Custom Recovery (TWRP preferably, but CWM and Philz will work the same)
3. Xposed Framework (Wanam did a very good job by porting Xposed to Samsung Lollipop/Marshmallow)
DOWNLOADS FOR REQUIREMENTS:
Link to CF Auto-Root repository: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Link to latest TWRP version for Galaxy S6: https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-3.0.2-1-zeroflte.img.tar.html
Link to Wanam's Xposed post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
MAKING THE REQUIREMENTS WORK:
HOW TO ROOT YOUR GALAXY S6?
If you have the new Marshmallow 6.0.1 update just download the file and flash it trough Odin, it shouldn't be that hard.
But, if you have older Lollipop versions, please upgrade or the process may be different.
HOW TO INSTALL TWRP ON YOUR GALAXY S6?
The process is the same as rooting your Galaxy S6, just flash the file through Odin.
HOW TO INSTALL XPOSED ON YOUR GALAXY S6?
HUGE THANKS TO WANAM FOR PORTING XPOSED TO LOLLIPOP AND MARSHMALLOW
Now, the process is a little different. Boot in recovery and flash the zip. That's it.
If the phone takes ages to boot, it's normal, it's always like that.
LET'S MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF WHAT WE HAVE!
PART 1. --- INSTALLING GOOD LOCK UI
I'm sure most of your know what Good Lock is, unless you live under a rock.
Ok, I'll explain what it is. It's Samsung's official System UI replacement that looks way more like stock Android when tweaked.
So, how to install it, well, let's begin!
1. Go to: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...elease/good-lock-24-0-9-android-apk-download/ and click on the big purple DOWNLOAD button
2. Wait for the app to download and then install it
3. After the installation is done, you'll see a pop-up saying that you need to restart. Click OK
4. That's it for the Good Lock installation, now let's tweak it to look more like stock Android
5. Swipe from top to the bottom to bring up the notification panel, and click on the weird settings in a bubble icon
6. Click on Routines and then select default. That's the routine that we're gonna tweak.
7. Select the second last clock and click next. Select the fourth hexagon on the bottom and find a really dark purple then click next. Deselect all the options it provides you. Click on finish
8. Go back and click Advanced. Disable everything
9. Great. We now have a lighter version of stock notification panel!
THAT'S IT FOR NOW. IN THE POST TOMORROW I'LL MENTION THE HARDEST PART.
Part 2. --- huge debloatation
PART 2. --- HUGE DEBLOATATION
First, you're gonna need Debloater v3.90. You can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Then watch a tutorial on YouTube on how to use it properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7OFGIu1f0I
Then Go ahead and see what apps I removed: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DIJ20q7bTL8ZGZS0ecl2FTxN-JH-t64R_vKM5L0aGAk/edit?usp=sharing
But, before you do anything: DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU'VE INSTALLED A 3RD PARTY LAUNCHER!!! YOUR DEVICE MAY BE UNUSABLE!!!
So, first go to GPlay Store and install Nova Launcher. Since I bought the Prime version I get extra features (I advise you to do that, it's worth every penny). If you don't own a copy of Nova Launcher Prime, here's a link where you can find it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&hl=en
When you installed Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher Prime, we can get to work!
PART 2. --- HUGE DEBLOATATION
1. Go to the Google Docs link I provided.
2. Plug in your device and start debloating
3. Done! You can now unplug your device.
4. You may notice some differences, like, MOST OF THE APPS ARE GONE!
THAT'S IT FOR NOW. TODAY AFTERNOON I'LL POST ANOTHER PART!
Part 3. --- tweaking nova

Part 5. --- messing around with xposed
PART 5. --- MESSING AROUND WITH XPOSED
Now that we have wanam's custom ported version of Xposed installed, let's make use of it.
!!!IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!
DON'T USE XPOSED INSTALLER APK UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEODEXED ROM!!!
!!!IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!
A common issue appears on Samsung's Marshmallow that keeps restarting your device every time you enable a module.
There's a workaround that can fix this. Simply don't use Xposed Installer app, instead use XDA Labs app.
Let's get right to it!
1. Install XDA Labs app, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18297
2. Grant Root Access to it and go to Xposed tab.
3. Go to search and search for GravityBox [MM], install it.
4. Click on DONE and go back to XDA Labs app. It'll say that you need to restart to enable the module. Click on RESTART.
5. After you've restarted, open the GravityBox [MM] app.
6. Go to Navigation bar tweaks, and enable Master switch and Enable navigation bar.
7. Close the app and restart.
8. You'll see that now you have a navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.
9. [OPTIONAL] You can disable Samsung's hardware navigation keys if you know how to do it.
THIS IS THE END OF OUR FIRST JOURNEY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST REPLY TO ME ON THIS THREAD, THAT WAY I CAN ANSWER FASTER.

Recently I have been on a quest to try to make my phone look similar to the Google Pixel 3XL since I love Samsung hardware and Stock Pixel software. Also this is a Knox and warranty friendly method aswell so no rooting is required. (Screenshots at the bottom of the post)
Here is a guide on how to make probably any phone look like the Pixel 3XL with links and steps.
Apps required:
- Substratum (free)
- Andromeda ($1.99)
- Flux/Flux White ($1.45 each)
- Google Product Sans font (free)
- Clock Tweaks for O (free)
- Google apps to replace the stock ones
- CPL (Customized Pixel Launcher) (free)
- Navigation Gestures by xda (free)
- Pixel Icons ($1.60)
- Pixel wallpapers 18 (free)
*All the links for these can be found under each step*
Step 1 (Launcher):
The launcher is probably the easiest thing to get. I have tried most of the launchers available on the Play Store and this one is just the best out of them all. No problems nor bugs and with a little bit of tweaking you can make it look just like the stock pixel launcher.
CPL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.whatau.cpl (Free)
Step 2 (Icons):
For the icon pack you have two options. There are free ones that work just fine but the paid one's icons are more accurate to the stock Pixel ones.
I have got a combination of both pre-installed icons and some from the Pixel Icons app.
Pixel Icons: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixelflow.apps.pixelicons (Paid)
Step 3 (Wallpaper):
Instal the Pixel wallpapers 18 apk for the stock Pixel wallpapers (for me most of these don’t work but some do – app crashes)
Pixel Wallpapers: https://www.xda-developers.com/download-google-pixel-3-live-wallpapers-port/ (Free)
Step 4 (Google Apps):
You can find most Google apps as apks from the link below but one on particular needs a certain apk and that is the Google Camera. Someone has ported it for Exynos variant of the Note and here is the link for it:
Google Camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/google-camera-hdr-portrait-t3730325 (Free)
Thanks to: @msohail_7
Step 5 (Theme engine):
To get the almost full Pixel experience on your Android device you need Substratum (and Andromeda in case you are not rooted). The app is pretty simple to use but they have no use without the themes.
Substratum: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum (Free)
Andromeda: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.andromeda (Paid)
Step 5.1 (Theme):
You can choose between Light and Dark with either Flux or Flux white. They include some notes inside the tabs to let you know what and what to not do.
Flux: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flux.substratum.theme (Paid)
Flux White: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flux.white.substratum (Paid)
Step 5.2 (Nav bar):
In the Flux options you have the Google Pixel Pie navbar but as you know on the real one if you swipe up it brings the recent apps menu. To get that feature you have to download Navigation Gestures by xda and make the bar a small transparent pill that only works if you swipe up from it
Navigation Gestures: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar (Free/Paid)
Step 5.3 (Font):
With the Substratum app you can also get the new Google Product Sans font and many other more with this simple app (additional info and instructions are found in the link below):
Google Product Sans: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/fonts-wings-samsung-fonts-1200-root-t3710688 (Free)
Step 6 (Clock mod):
Last but not least is the left clock mod. Its at simple as the title says, it moves your clock from the right side of the status bar to the left and it can be accesed from the substratum app.
Left Clock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-center-left-clock-o-t3614824 (Free)
Thanks to: @AL_IRAQI
Make sure that all the apps are compatible with your device (I have all these on my note 8 so for any other device it might not be different). For any questions or problems I'm more than happy to answer them. These are mostly all the steps I did to receive my look but ofcourse, you can tweak as you wish.
If you found this guide helpful any feedback is much appreciated and if any of these materials are not allowed I am willing to edit the post (I am new to posting here)!
