Still waiting for my Xperia Z but - FIREFOX should be good !!
A web browser is tricky, each person has there own preference.
Ive used the default browser, opera since java and symbian phones. And dolphin.
Type in 'web browser' in Google play and look at the top 20 its all trial and error.
Edit looks like puffin web browser has flash?
Edit again.
Maybe even top 30 ,quite a few new browsers.
I like floating browsers too so you could try one like floating browser flux or overskreen which wouldn't be bad on the 5 inch screen.

Timescape widget from Arc will not work later because Sony is leaving Timescape and will replace it with Sociallife app seen in it's tablets.
I think it will be nice, that someone to make a software, like the illumination bar from xperia t. But for xperia z, and the illumination bar to be displayed on the screen when it`s in stand by.
I think il will not drain so much battery
I'm wondering if the lock-screen can be turned off in the settings?
If not, can someone test the app No Lock and see if it works?

HTC phones have issues turning off lock screens due to Sense built deep into the system..

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 3. --- TWEAKING NOVA
Now that we have Nova Launcher installed, let's tweak it to look like stock Android.
1. Go to Desktop>Desktop grid and change the grid to 5x5, also enable Subgid positioning if disabled.

17. Set the Width padding to None, but set the Height padding to Medium and also disable Infinite scroll.
18. Under advanced disable everything.
19. Go to Folders and set the Folder preview to Line, change the Folder background to Circle, but if you prefer, you can change it to N Preview.
20. Under Window set the Transition animation to Circle, change the Background Color to White and set the Transparency to 0%.
21. Under Icon layout change set the Icon size to 125% and enable Label if disabled, change the font to Normal, Size to 2, Color to Black, and disable Shadow, but enable Single-Line.
22. Go to Look & feel and change the Icon theme to Marshmallow, enable Normalize icon size, set the Screen orientation to Default.
23. Set the Scroll speed and Animation speed to Nova and change the App animation to Reveal.
24. Enable both Show notification bar and Transparent notification bar, disable Dark icons, and disable Expand action using Root, also disable Search as overlay.
25. Go to Gestures and inputs and change the Home button to Default page, enable Only on default page, enable "Ok Google" hotword and change the Double tap to Screen Lock.

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.

Finally, if you liked the new look, don't forget to put a thumbs up for this post
**SHORTCUT-- FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO INSTALL MORE THAN 3-4 APKS **
Install the 5 files from links- launcher, theme file, goodlock ,substratum with left clock- that will be enough for giving the ONE UI look(you will get the EXACT look given in first post screenshots, leaving aside the native Samsung pie apps)
You can even leave the substratum and left clock if you don't need left clock- that will reduce it to JUST 3 APKS to install
The other weather, dialer etc are pie apps and you don't necessarily need them- just that if you need entirely pie apps running on your Oreo Device with the pie experience.*
This will take very few minutes and done!- you have the one ui look!
Finally, if you liked the new look, don't forget to put a thumbs up for this post

I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, but i just cant manage to get the rounded notifications on the status bar drawer like yours. mine just scramble with some ****ty background colour, especially when i have a white app behind it.
Try uninstalling the themes and reinstalling
Faced the same problem and did it ,got resolved.
New One UI browser apk
Samsung One UI browser
Install as normal apk
www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-elect...ernet-browser-9-0-01-18-android-apk-download/
Notes One UI APK
www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-elect...otes-3-0-00-69-android-apk-download/download/
The alternative is to use The theme v3 day, then use Swift installer, change apps to black amoled, and the rest of the tweaks in Swift installer too- like use material theme and even transparency of the pull down notif.
Will try that. ?
Never tried the swift installer

Didn't use one handed mode yet
The browser also has modes to hide status bar which actually helps us use the entire screen for browsing?

Yes. It's just that the whole idea of one uinis to move important elements to he button. And I don't know but I think the address bar is very important and almost out of reach even for my big hands.
I can't get notifications on this launcher
