My phone, Samsung galaxy s3 mini
OK, so my phone is rooted, not by myself, so I'm not entirely sure what custom rom it has on. If this is needed known for my questions and there's a way to check, then please let me know. I'm happy to give whatever information I can to help with my questions. I can tell you its not rooted with CM.
Question one. The notification toggle that has screen settings, wi fi toggles etc, I want to know if it can be removed altogether so I can add my own using apps, or if it can be hidden or changed in anyway?
Question two. I'm aware that a lot of people like CM for a custom rom and last time I read they were working on a version for the phone I have, but I wondered what other custom roms have other people had success with? The only reason I asked this question is because the custom rom I'm using at the moment doesn't have much internally built in for changeable settings... I use to have CM on my HTC and had loads of custom settings that were things you couldn't change on the normal none rooted phone.

I can't get u clearly though, it seems u r on a custom rom whose name u don't know. U can check it in setting > about phone> build name. Usually custom roms have their signatures there.
1. U ll have to learn modding the systemui.apk and few other system files inside the system/app folder of the root.
2. The custom rom teams which are popular after CM are MIUI, AOSP, etc

First root ur device, uninstall the unwanted apps that eats up the ram.
The popular way to increase ram is through linux swap AFAIK but it makes ur device laggy..

I've managed to find out I'm using dmod. But I really would like to change it to something else that has a few more custom settings with it. Is there an easier way to change the toggle bar using mod settings type apps?

The title says it really. I used to have a G2 and loved it but it has since gone bye-bye. I've had my Stylo for a while now but I don't like how uncustomizable it is,the nav bar in paricular. I don't know if it's just me but the lack of a menu button is annoying. I have rooted it and installed TWRP and Xposed and one of my Xposed modules is GravityBox [LP] but it can't do too much for my phone it seems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have Android version 5.1.1 and software version MS63110j.
Go to Android forums, they have 2 custom Rom available. You can install G4 tweaksbox with no problems, using it now. Also runing Katana Rom, basically stock but deodexed and slimmed down with xposed and other features in it.

Thanks, do you have a link?

Try udn lite. It auto hides the stock nav bar and replaces it with one that only appears when you touch a "trigger" of your choice like the bottom left, right etc. It is very customizable and you can have up to seven nav buttons and each one can be whatever you want it to be.
Here's a video of how it works. It works best when you use exposed and has a built in module.

Is there any possible way to install touchwiz launcher on Moto E2 without root or installing custom rom.
Any working flashable zip is available ?
Also provide instructions for installation of the same.

It would be best if it is without root. But if its there with root it will also work.
I tried S Launcher and some launchers from the play store but it does not give me tge same samsung interface.
Also provide method to install as well as uninstall the same.
Thanks in advance.

If your going for root and have a custom ROM installed them you can just download a theme from play store that will help you
But if you wanna so it on stock then there's no other option to do it without launcher
Also I would prefer root because theme will give you a better interface everywhere not only in app drawer but also in settings,notification drawer etc !!

Ok no problem. Provide me the instructions for installation with root.
Can it be done just by rooting the device without installing a custom rom. It would be delightful if that is possible.
Just like we flash a zip file for some apps to be installed.

To root your device you can refer to another thread on XDA
Custom ROM is necessary for theme effect !!

I don't really understand what you mean by that. Firstly be sure whether you wanna root you device or not . It's a risky job indeed to root the device . make sure you refer to the thread properly and have all the requirements. If you don't want all this stuff to be done then enjoy the launcher effects.

1. I want to root the device (Only if it is required).
2. I want to install the custom rom (Only if it is required).
3. I want the complete galaxy transformation pack (My phone should look completely like samsung).
4. I want the instructions to install all this.
5. I also want instructions to uninstall all this in case if I want to bring back the stock default system.

Thank you for your reply. This is similar to what I want.
I want to use whole samsung interface on my moto E2
(Samsung default messaging app, phone dialer etc etc , everything samsung)
The launcher which you have given works good and also provides the look which I want but I also want all the apps from samsung devices.

I've tried this as on my moto e but not with a Samsung interface, i tried this with the HTC sense 7 interface, by Xpirit here on XDA, but this made my moto e slow and laggy.
I also tried a windows phone interface with windows apps, I didn't like it.
Samsung's touchwiz is renowned for being laggy and slow on Samsung devices, why you want need this on a moto E is beyond me, but that's your choice!
What a full touchwiz port would run like on a moto e 2015 I can't say, because I don't know!
Just a small word of caution.........
I find that unless you flash a "themed" custom ROM, you won't get the "full" other manufacturer effect you desire, some element will still be stock android or "basic"
I haven't found any good themed custom ROMs for the moto e 2015, I'm not saying there isn't any, I just haven't found them.
But what I have found is placing different launchers, themes, overlays and xposed mods slow my moto e down to a crawl, performance is drastically affected.
Please consider this before you go ahead (you don't have to take my advise, any modification you choose to make is up to you)
Good luck

I have an idea but not sure about its success. You could go to any Samsung galaxy 4, 5 or 6 XDA and download its Deodexed Stock ROM
After doing that, try extracting the system.img and from the system image, you will get an app folder which will have the system apps. Choose what you like and copy those to your phone. As I said, I'm not sure whether this works.:laugh::laugh:
P.S : And yeah, just like @ivan39 said, y do you need a touchwiz background!! I mean, I owned a Samsung. It was a nightmare. I didn't even keep it for 6 months. Exchanged it for a moto e2. Just y?

I had several Samsung's, last one I had was an s9000i or s1 someone gave to me, it was the easiest to root/flash ROMs/make mods for, but it was the slowest and had the most pathetic performance of any any smartphone I've owned.
I'll personally never have another Samsung, I now only buy phones that are stock or pure android, I find them much better without all that bloat!
I did notice a lot of those horrible cheap Chinese handsets available have a touch wiz like interface, maybe you could find a port of that?
Edit
A discussion/disagreement at work today regarding theming ect......
Someone happened to notice my own moto e homescreen looks like the nexus 5x.
I only use the "beach drone" nexus 5x wallpaper, and I use Nova launcher with its standard marshmallow icons, but that's where the similarities with the Nexus ends.
I use the CLock weather/clock widget with google now weather icons that the nexus doesn't, and I also use a different google search widget on my home screen to the nexus.
The gentleman who took me to task over "copying" the nexus home screen could not grasp the fact android is so customisable, and as he had his own moto e 2015 with the standard launcher, the yellow disk wallpaper, he didn't see the point to change it.
His argument was I have a ford focus C max as my car, but its not badged as a Bugatti or a Porsche.....
So if a Motorola looks like something else, it is something else and I'm messing around with stuff I "know nothing about"
I explained about theming/launchers/XDA/mycolourscreen/themer and icon packs but I'm afraid it fell on deaf ears and this man was quite upset I had changed my handset so Much from standard.
Point I want to make is we all make our devices what we want, that's the beauty of android.
If you want a Samsung theme, good. If I want to try out HTC sence 7 (that I love but its laggy on my moto e) then that's great.
Its all about individuality and we mustn't let others tell us different!
If you want samsung why not just buy it?
Hi All,

Hi
I don't know this mode work in s7 or not but you can test it. You need Xposed Installer for use it.
Code:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ro.brucelee.xposed.recenttasksram
Hi there,
I found out that some custom ROM already implemented in their ROM without using Xposed.
Still searching for the implement method. BTW thank you for the respond.
Depends, Gravity has this option as a Xposed Mod.
BUT, If your using the new Good Lock that has a new UI
Then this option will not work, Only on the Default TW Recents Panel
I have rooted my phone and I was wondering customising apps with magisk
No root needed but try good lock / nicelock
Alright thanks
You might want to try out GravityBox (I don't use it, but meh). Install LSposed/EdXposed then install GravityBox from its XDA thread. Not sure if it works on anything other than pure AOSP or similar.
