ive been searching all ove for a galaxy s5 TW launcher but most of em need rooting
so is there any way to get
1- galaxy s5 flat icons
2- galaxy s5 drop down menu (the one you pull by swipind down from the top of the phone)
3- galaxy s5 like settings
thats all i need
please no root and thanks alot
i ahve also found that you can do some of these stuff with Xposed modules like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664563
what are Xposed modules ? do they require rooting?
and i aso need the accuweather S5 theme (working widget)
Yes, that requires root. You're not going to be able to get the features you want without rooting.
In future, please post in the correct sections. You should be asking questions in Q&A.

I mean,, even if you try and find a rom with S5 theme, you would still need root to install it, as you need a custom recovery, which also requires rom, i guess the closest thing you can try without root is a alternative launcher with a S5 theme, unless there are other options

Hi All:
This is my first time here, I've been looking for a Rom for my S3 which can make it more similar to S4 with all its featuers.
I flashed many Rom and most of them has the 4.2.2 update but it has the nexus touch which I didnt like on my S3.
Any recommendations for a good Rom which is stable and have no issues..
Thanks in advance

The only answer I can give you is: Take a look in the developers forum. If you see something you like, try it. Maybe go for a rom with a stock (Samsung/TouchWiz) look, since that's what you're used to from the stock ROM. Actually, I'd start off by rooting your phone(you've already done that, since you've flashed a lot of ROMs), and remove all the bloatware you never use from stock ROM. Maybe replace a few of the stock apps with better alternatives. This makes the phone faster, and frees up memory.
You can also freeze apps, if you're not comfortable with removing them from the stock ROM. This thread discusses which apps are safe to freeze/remove. The OP links to this document showing a spreadsheet of apps that are safe/not safe to freeze/remove.
If you're not familiar with the term "freezing apps", you should do a forum search(or just Google) Titanium Backup. It's a feature LOADED (you guessed it...) backup-app, which allows you to freeze apps if you don't want to uninstall them completely. In short, it "disables" the app, removing it from the drawer, but keeping it installed. You can easily unfreeze the apps if you need them to work for you again.
Hope this helped you on you way. The world of custom ROMs is huge, so you're guaranteed to find somehing you like.
Regards,
Kombian

im sure that a dev will port the s4 touchwiz rom to the s3 soon. Just be patient.

Thanks a lot for all the information that you've shared with me, I am still not familiar with many things in rooting which I might need your help with that.
The first thing, what you guys mean by Stock Rom? does it mean the original android framework that was not modified yet?
2nd: how to remove all the bloatware? and what do you mean by bloatware?
3rd: is it bad for the handset to be flashed again and again with many different ROMs? I always follow the steps which the developers mention in flashing any new ROM, so is there any right ways to do that without damaging my phone?
for now these are all the doubts that I have about rooting, but I might come up with many points in the future,
I hope you guys can help me in getting more knowledge about it, and thanks a lot for your precious time that you are giving me
Thanks again

For all doubts you have now and may have in the future, please follow the first rule of XDA:
"Search before asking"
And may I suggest you read through many of the fine guides and tutorials here on this forum. Look up the stickies in the section for ur device too.

Hey guys converter from iPhone over here. Last time I rooted it was fairly straightforward and was able to get going quickly. This newer stuff is a little new to me.
I rooted my sprint s5 using towel root. Now what? I see roms like omega but none really say anything about the sprint model.
What should i do next to install a boottloader then a rom?
Thanks

Assuming you are a new XDA user. Welcome to the forum and be sure to read over the forum rules. They might save you some headache in the future. For example, this post should of been in the Q&A section but no biggie. A mod will move it if need be.
Anyways, about your question, this is the Sprint specific forum so all the roms here should be compatible with the Sprint S5 (900P). Some of the roms will be based off of Touchwiz (these will keep almost 100% of stock functionality while adding some extras) and AOSP roms (custom based on CM, MIUI, etc.) The first post of each rom thread will give you a good idea of what the rom has included, instructions to flash, what works and doesn't, and so on.
If you just rooted get a custom recovery on there and do a backup of the system and EFS first thing. As for bootloader, that is preference and may depend on what rom you flash but I would think you will be fine with what version you have now.
This is also a good thread to take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52456762&postcount=1
Hey guys and gals so i have a ZTE Z730 t-mobile i successfully rooted the phone and it also installed CWM v6.0.5. Here's my issue other than im a complete newbie, i downloaded rom MGR and it was not compatible with that version of CWM. Im guessing that there arent any custom roms out for this yet so my question is can i use a different recovery so i can flash custom roms if so what and where can i find these like i said im just starting out and want to learn all that is possible about flashing roms and such for android not sure where to start i really dont want to use the same root method because of the fact that it automatically puts the cwm v6.0.5.0 on it and i cant do anything with it or can i ? well i hope someone can reach out and point me in the rite direction it would be greatly appreciated and thank you ahead of time be well billy (a desperate newbie).
Just a side note that rooted z730 i had i tried to uninstall the cwm and failed miserably so that phone lies in the newbie android user graveyard i actually just purchased another today.:fingers-crossed:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately if there are no ROMs available for your device no amount of changing recovery will be able to fix that. You can only flash ROMs that were developed for your device, and if none of those actually exist, you're fresh out of luck. But, if you have root you can still customise your stock ROM a bit by using Xposed Framework:
Xposed - General info, versions & changelog
And you'll find an entire section of XDA dedicated to compatible Xposed Framework modules:
Xposed Framework Modules
So I'd suggest you do some looking around there and start customising your device.
Good luck!
Very helpful a huge thank you
:good:

Hey, i recently got this device(SM-N9007) so im just introducing myself around this sub-forum
You may have seen me recently around the Amlogic based Android TV forums aswell as the Galaxy S3 forum where i almost completely ported the S5 UI to the Galaxy S3(Revolutionary S5 ROM).
I look forward to making ROMs and kernels for this device and speaking/working with some of you!
Step 1.. lets drop the old samsung UI and get with the times!
Step 2.. Probably a kernel.
Step 3.. An easier alternative to root.
welcome to our device forum. I thank you for the interest you show to our device and I wish u good luck !
Hi, welcome. Can you make SystemUI for stock based roms? I am using Audax rom. I dont like pull down menu, quick setting menu. A cumtom theme will be good.

From what i can tell i may be able to use one rom for both with installer script modifcation
Hello there ! Finally someone with same model! Hope you'll get cozy here !
Hi everyone, so i'm owning the S10+ (exynos) and i'm looking for rooting my device, however i have quite a few questions and hope someone can help me with:
1. Do i need to have magisk in order to install custom roms?
2. Will i be able to use samsung pass on the custom roms or do i need to export to another app (eg: goolge pass?) ?
3. I changed from asus phone to samsung phone so all of my data is kind of spread between google and samsung accounts. So if i perform a back up then which apps would you guys recommended to backup all data?
4. I own a watch active 2 and buds + so if i install any custom roms will they still working?
I know that's a lot of questions and may seem like dumb to you guys but i'm new with all of this so i feel a bit worries about it. Also sorry for my bad English since it's not my first language.
Thank you

Actually, your English is pretty good!
Doesn't seem like it is bad nonetheless.
Kay so here are the awnsers to ur questions.
1. Nope only need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
Probably more steps cause its samsung but there are detailed guides here for your phone.
2. Hmm thats unfortunate cause when you trip knox you lose access to knoc enabled services like samsung pads.
3.well if i was rooted I would use Migrate which is a great backup app for switching between custom ROMs.
4. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-samsung-buds-app-on-custom-rom.3959823/
This thread lists a modified apk for the wearables app but im not sure if it works.
