Hello everyone... this thread is basically about changing your stock 4.4.4 firmware to look like the Sony official lollipop UI. There are various steps involved in this and I have tried my best to put together the tweaks and customization and share them with the people who like the original xperia UI and can't wait for lollipop. Please thank people who have made all these apps, modules and different things, I just put them together and I'm not even seeking for credits... Thanks.
Prerequisites -
1. Xperia E3 (Any variant) or maybe even work on any xperia with kitkat installed.
2. FULL ROOT ACCESS (Really Important).
3. Internet (Just to download stuff)
4. A little knowledge about flashing (In case something goes wrong).
5. Patience...
So here we go...
Things Used -
1. Xposed modules used - APM+, blurred system ui, screen off animation, Eggster, Flat Style Colored Bars, GEM Xperia Xposed, Heads Up Notification, Monster UI, Unicon, Xperia Xposed (KK), Xstana. (Install them all and activate them in xposed framework.
2. More apps used - Xperia Material sh theme, Digital Clock Xperia (Widget), Lollipop Land (Eggster Game), Theme Xperia (Icon Pack), Numix Calculator, google messenger, google calendar.
3. Wallpapers (Link will be given)
Method -
1. Install the latest firmware for your phone (4.4.4) (Flash ftf with flashtool)
2. Rooting method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/development/twrp-twrp-recovery-sony-xperia-e3-t3071382 This is the kernel by @vinay which has inbuilt init.d support... after flashing this kernel just boot into TWRP recovery and flash superuser.zip (Search google for it)
3. After that, download the package from this given thread...this will help you to change your UI....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/themes-apps/variants-xperia-z3-theme-xperia-e3-t3065588
After downloading the package, extract it in a new folder and copy the folder with files you just extracted to your SD card in your phone... After that replace all these files in the folder with files in root/system/apps (leave out the skin-core.apk) Set permissions of recently replaced files to 644 (rw-r--r---) and reboot your phone... Now you should have a different kind of UI. (Credit goes to @kevinhecox99)

hi there, as you written there that twrp kernel have init.d built in it is wrong. it is not built in.
if you need init.d i can make an flashable package which enable init.d.

But whenever I flash that kernel, I don't need to use universal init.d When I used to install the CWM kernel... then I used to install universal init.d I don't understand.... It mounts everything during boot... It's like full root access...

Both cwm and twrp kernel use same thing,s but different recovery, s
If there is this thing happening then it must be due to something else than kernels.

Yeah it's ok bro, thanks :3 you actually did a good job :3 totally satisfied :3 you must have worked hard on figuring this out right? and ermm there seems to be a problem with Monster UI. I tried 5 times and 4 out of 5 gave me systemUI error (cannot open systemUI). So yeah, basically there will be risk in doing this so i recommend you backup before having fun with the phone ))

Yes Kevin I used to get that message as well...that's basically after ticking the "Notification header layout" which is still experimental and buggy in this app and I have mentioned too that not to tick that option... If you haven't ticked that option and you're still getting the System UI error then I guess that it's something else.... If you could post the screen of the settings you've applied I could help you. And I wanted my phone to somewhat look like lollipop ui that's why I came across all these apps and modules and I figured that I should share it here as well so that some people who are looking for lollipop look on their kitkat devices they might find this a little helpful.

If you've used Android N-ify with Good Lock, you will have known that there's an annoying bug, that the Good Lock settings icon overlaps the alarm section when the Quick Settings is expanded.
This will fix that, and fix up a few things in Good Lock to match AOSP/Google Pixel visuals
Screenshots in attachments.
Should be supported on any Samsung device on a Touchwiz-based 6.0/6.0.1 Marshmallow ROM (7.0 Nougat or newer is unsupported, you can use this Substratum theme instead which makes your SystemUI more AOSP-like!)
Will update this modified Good Lock accordingly as Good Lock itself recieves updates as well.
Changelog
v2
IMPORTANT: you must go and follow this, even if you already installed the previous version, just this one time. Added proper install instructions in the OP, shouldn't have any issues with installing now (read below)
Removed charging/wireless charging water splash animations
Changed default lockscreen wallpaper to stock Google Pixel wallpaper
v1
Removed Good Lock settings icon in quick settings header, to not overlap alarm icon in Android N-ify's quick settings header (still clickable where it was to access Good Lock settings)
Changed auto brightness icon in quick settings header to AOSP style
Changed screenshot notification icon to AOSP style
Changed Good Lock app icon to AOSP Nougat's SystemUI icon
Install instructions
If you are using stock Good Lock, or if you are on the first release of the modified Good Lock, follow the instructions ahead. If you haven't installed any Good Lock, skip to Step 4. Otherwise, if you're on v2 or later of modified Good Lock, and are just updating, skip to Step 6
Disable Android N-ify and GravityBox in Xposed Installer, and reboot
Uninstall Good Lock normally from the app (optional: backup Good Lock data)
Go to /data/app/ in your favourite root file manager, and delete any "com.android.systemui-#" folders (# is substituted with a number)
Install stock Good Lock again
Flash the modified Good Lock zip in TWRP
Enable Android N-ify and GravityBox
Enjoy (optional: restore Good Lock data)
Download
Realy great, works a lot better. Thank you mate. :good:
Great work bro
It doesn't seem to get installed when I flash it, I tried with and without Good Lock installed but it had the same effect. S7 Flat on Superman Rom 1.19

Yes, the ZIP does not work if you try to flash it before installing GoodLock and N-ify. It is recommended that you wipe and reflash the system partition after uninstalling N-ify and GoodLock, and then install GoodLock and N-ify -> reboot once -> flash the ZIP through recovery.
New update!

Is it possible to for the QS panel to be bluish-greyish, like on AOSP?
Since right now, it is completely black.

Yes it is.
In Good Lock routines editor, on the section where you pick theme colours, you can try and pick the blue-greyish colour for the first hexagon to the left, then your QS panel background colour will be set accordingly.

Thanks, I haven't installed your modified Good Lock yet on my father's phone (I don't use TouchWiz, however I was unable for some reason to boot CM12.1 on his phone (when there will be enough time, I will try CM13, or whatever will exist then)) since I thought that the colors will be too jarring for him.
When I'll have time, I'll install your modified Good Lock on his phone.
Is there a way to get a gap between the notifications?
Done

Hello,
First of all, thanks for the mod! Developpers like you are great, and add something to the community! Thanks.
Getting to the question. I know it may sound stupid, but this is supposed to make Good Lock work with Android N-ify. But I don't know when I should instal android n-ify. Should I install Good Lock (fresh install), flash your GoodLock v2 zip, and then install Android N-ify module through Xposed? Or do I not need to install the Android N-ify module?
Thanks in advance for the clarification. Cheers!

Well thanks for the answer.
I followed the procedure, installed Good Lock, then flashed your zip, then installed Android N-ify 0.2 and Gravity Box, but the navigation panel still looks like the original Good Lock panel (I don't see neither Android N-ify effect, nor your Good Lock).
Don't know what I did wrong, but too bad for me.
Thanks for the help anyway !

N-ify 0.2 on the xposed repo is really old, you want the latest build from https://ci.paphonb.xyz/jenkins/job/AndroidN-ify/
Also if installing my good lock made no difference, manually copy out the base.apk from the zip into /data/app/com.android.systemui-1, give -rw-r-r permissions and reboot

I tried as well, but it seems I can't get Android N-ify to work on my S7 Edge. It probably isn't related to your mod.

The same thing happens to me when I use the latest version of N-ify from jenkins. However it doesn't do the same with version 0.20 from xposed, but It doesn't look as good as the screenshots in the OP.

Is that the only page in your panel? Is there another page that you can swipe left or right? There should be an "edit" or "add" or "+" symbol in your panel somewhere? Or is there a setting in your system settings>notifications (or whatever the path to your notification settings in system settings).

Try Android N-ify. Its an Xposed module that'll change your phone's UI to android N. It also gives you the option to edit your QS panel. So you can add and remove whatever tiles you like (once your ROM supports those tiles).
Its a bit buggy on Lollipop though. So you might run into crashes (of mainly the System UI).
Take a look at the thread over here:

There's no "good version" for all devices. The only way to find a compatible build for your phone is to go through them all
To reset the tiles, hit the pencil icon at the top right corner of the QS panel, then hit the 3 dot menu button. You'll see the option to reset.

Hi guys,
I'm building an extra lean LineageOS 14.1 ROM for mido with a few added features. A lot of packages have been stripped down, only the bare minimum is built to provide a fast and stable ROM. That gives you much more freedom as you can install exactly what you really want from the Playstore. You can install most of the missing packages manually, they are available in a flashable zip on the server (see second post).
The work on this ROM is done by @Dark_Eyes_ he is been working too hard too add some extra features on this ROM. Thanks for this best ROM.
My approach for DARK ROM 14.1 is slightly different than for DARK ROM 13, as I try to add as many Pixel features as possible while keeping a solid LineageOS base.
Key features
- Full OMS support (rootless)
- Signature spoofing support
- Pixel Launcher (with the provided GAPPS package)
- Pixel animated navbar (with on/off switch)
- Pixel sounds
- Pixel accent colors
- Pixel bootanimation with sound
- Rounded icons
- Google Assistant
- Night Light
- Night Light Brightness
- Choose between dialer and voice assistant in lockscreen
- Hide next alarm from expanded status bar and lockscreen
- Disable the boot animation sound
- Secure lockscreen (disables status bar pull down, quick settings tiles, power button and lockscreen shortcuts)
- Double tap the lock icon on the lockscreen to sleep
- Longpress power button while screen off to trigger flashlight
- Hide bluetooth icon when disconnected
- Volume steps
- Quick unlock pin/password
- Remove album art from lockscreen
- Date in status bar
- Battery bar
- Smart pulldown
- Volume button controls media volume anywhere
- Change navbar height
- Screenshot tile
- Caffeine tile
- Sync tile
- Reboot/recovery tile
- Music tile
- USB Tethering tile
- NFC tile
- Quick settings custom rows/columns
- Turn on/off mobile data with single click on collapsed quick settings
- Status bar ticker
- Separate ring and notification volume
- Specific color for 100% charged battery
- Prevent accidental wakeup
- Remove settings suggestions
- Show WiFi SSID in status bar
- Show carrier label in status bar
- Hide carrier label on the lockscreen (or rename to whatever you want)
- Hide the low battery warning notification
- Remove the orange status bar and navigation bar when in battery saver mode
- One hand mode
- Choose doze brightness
- Adjust animation scale precisely with a slider
- Dynamic nav bar color (changes color to the same of status bar)
- In-call vibration options (on connect, on call waiting and on disconnect)
SafetyNet
The ROM is already designed to pass SafetyNet out of the box. No need to lock the bootloader (which I advise you to do ONLY on a pure factory image install) because the kernel has the patch for it. If you want root, you'll need to install Magisk, which comes pre-rooted. Then, enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager, hard reboot and you should be good to go. Also, do not enable busybox in Magisk Manager, that will cause you to randomly lose root. You'll get all you need to know on the Magisk thread.
ViPER4Android/ViPER4Arise
The ROM is designed to work with both ViPER4Android and ViPER4Arise out of the box without the need for SuperSU or any Magisk module. The SEPolicy already contains the necessary permissions for them to work even in Enforcing. All you need to do is flash the package of your choice.
Installation
You will need latest radio and latest bootloader
Latest TWRP recovery is highly recommended
If you want HDR to work, you will need to keep Google Camera 3.2.045 (all newer versions won't work)
If coming from any other ROM
- Backup first... always backup first
- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache
- Install DARK ROM
- Install provided GAPPS (mandatory)
- Install root package of your choice (I recommend Magisk)
Enjoy !
If coming from a previous build of mine
- Backup (you know it)

Extra Packages
On the server you will find a file named ExtraPackages_date.zip which contains a few apps that are not available out of the box in my builds (see list). You won't have to flash it every update, since there is a survival script. I suggest you open the zip and remove the files you don't need before flashing it the first time.
Here is what's included:
- Calendar (AOSP Calendar)
- Contacts (AOSP Contacts)
- DeskClock (AOSP Clock)
- Dialer (AOSP Dialer)
- Eleven (LOS Music player)
- ExactCalculator (LOS Calculator)
- Gallery2 (AOSP Photos)
- Jelly (LOS Browser)
- LatinIME (AOSP Keyboard)
- Messaging (AOSP SMS)
- Recorder (LOS Recorder)
- Snap (LOS Camera)
- Stk (AOSP SIM card toolkit)
- Trebuchet (LOS Launcher)
Note that if you install my GAPPS and the complete Extras package, you'll end up with two Phone app and two Contacts apps. Simply delete the GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer in the system/priv-app and reboot. If you choose to use the AOSP Dialer instead of Google Dialer, you'll need to go to Settings/Apps/Gear Icon (top right) and choose the AOSP Dialer as default phone app, otherwise you won't be able to make calls.

Fingerprint settings will crash if u try add fp without previously setting up a screen lock separately....so first setup screen lock then add fp...both should be done separately

I missed the chance of trying that after first setup. But during first setup, I setup the screen lock and fingerprint together and it worked fine.
Used this rom with my Nexus 5, was awesome! Cant wait to rock it again, thanks Dev!

Try to use the one which includes Keyboard. I tried nano but there was no keyboard on first setup.

There is no Launcher in this ROM because we have made it minimal. You need to install GApps provided in OP to make it working.
OK, below is my review with this ROM. The experience may vary from user to user. I am just an average user with a keen eye for battery and performance.
The ROM without the Extras zip includes very little applications that is good.
The included GApps, I think, is necessary, as using standard Nano GApps, I ended up without a keyboard on first setup.
The read/write performance of the ROM is really good. I was amazed by how quickly it restored my messages and calls as compared to other ROMs.
The app opening speed, however, seemed a little slow. It has some kind of lag. Like, it waits for half a second when you click an icon and then loads the application which seemed annoying sometimes.
The built in camera is just average like with other ROMs. Google Camera Port is working fine with it.
The battery timing is good. But, I think, could have been better for idle.
Overall, a good combination of features and simplicity. The animations are smooth enough for my brain therapy.

I am the maintainer of this ROM and asked the dev if I can build it. He has given me permission to build it but to make it official is not on me.
Let's wait for sometime and see if he allows me to make an official build. But there is no difference in official and unofficial so you can use it without any hiccups.
Please upload your default boot animation so that I can check it with the source.

Good to hear.....cheers
With the release of Android Q beta , android introduced some features like screen clocks , notification bubbles and more. XDA has provided all the commands to enable them using adb shell. Adb shell method is useful for people who don't have root. If you are rooted with magisk canary builds then you can simply use this app to changes styles without typing commands each time.
What this app lets you do -
1. Change Lockscreen clock styles , they changes instantly.
2. Enable and disable notification bubbles.
3. Enable the systemwide dark mode without turning power saver mode (needs reboot)
4. Turn on/off the iPhone style gesture handle.
5. Adjust the status bar content padding (spacing of status bar icons from left and right edges to your phone)
I made this app with tasker app factory. It worked well for me. If it says 'app not installed' , please turn off the google play protect and install again. I have tested this app on android beta 2 GSI by erfan.
Download - Google Drive
Get it on XDA-Labs - https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.shiv.q
It might force close for some people.
