This is a thread with links to all guides, that may be useful for the users of galaxy s advance.
I started this thread, as most of the guides get lost under large number of threads and finding them gets difficult.
Most of the guides here are from our forum only.
If I miss any useful guide worth mentioning, just tell me. I will include it in this post.
Any other suggestions like format of the post etc are also welcome.

I decided to show you how to add themes and emoji in your LG G2 Keyboard, because last time I flashed a new ROM and lost the smileys in keyboard. I used it very often in Facebook and social networks.
The keyboard app from the LG G2 has been ported by gerardroid (XDA) thanks.
Source:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618388
I tried to install apk for rooted devices and tried to add the lines in build.prob but regardless of whether Root Explorer or Root Browser nothing worked for me.
If there is someone who has the same problem like me. Here is the solution:
1. Download LGG2-keyboard.apk
2. Optional: Download Keyboard Themes: LG_G2_IME_Themes.zip
3. Install the downloaded LGG2-keyboard.apk and themes on your G2
4. Now download Build Prob Editor from PlayStore
5. Open Build Prob Editor and add following lines like the picture below:
Code:
ime_extend_row_keyboard=true
ime_onehand_keyboard=true
ime_split_keyboard=true
ime_vibration_pattern=0:20
ro.config.libemoji=libemoji_lge.so
ro.lge.capp_emoji=true
6. Having added the lines, exit Build Prob Editor and restart device.
7. finish :good::good:
You should now have emoji on your G2-Keyboard

[INDEX] S5 Style [INDEX]
by Developer.WL
Here you can find all Mods and APK`s to transform your S4 LTE-A I9506 into a S5.
(I´am testing all APK´s and Mods before post them here. I´am testing on a GT-I9506 S4 LTE + with Stock ROM 4.4.2 NEE ROOTED.)
Screenshots are in Post #2
#1 S5 Notification Center
For this mod you need ROOT-Permissions!
Before changing the System don´t forget to make a BackUp!
Before changing the build.prop, make a backup!
First you need to open the build.prop [/system/build.prop].
Then search for
ro.product.name
and
ro.product.device
Set the value for both files to SM-N900S. Save it and reboot.
Now you have the look of the S5 notification bar.
#2 Particle-Effect Lockscreen
For this mod you need ROOT-Permissions!
Before changing the System don´t forget to make a BackUp!
Before changing the settings.db, make a backup!
First download and install the SQL Editor: Click me!
Then open it and search for the app "Settings Storage".
Then tap on "Settings.db" and on "system".
Then search for"lockscreen_ripple_effect" and change the value to "3". Save and reboot.
After restart you have the particle effect!
#3 S5 Wallpaper
I used this App : Click me!
#4 S5 Apps
S Health: Click me!
S5 S Voice: Click me!
S5 S Baro: Click me!
These are only a few S5 Apps. I could´t post all S5 Apps, they are too much. Please Google for "S5 Apps Port to S4".
If you have other Mods and APK`s, posst them. I check them and update the post.

Notification center and lockscreen ripple works perfect!!

I don't agree!
I tried one of those APKs a while ago and for some reason when I rebooted the phone it got stuck looping the boot screen.
I had to spend all the morning into restoring everything.
Think it twice before you try them and be DOUBLE SURE you did a full backup of your phone.

Okay thank you. I have updated the Post.

Is their anyway to include a ripple effect in ROM so that it can be flash to anyrom?
sorry
Thing to correct :
S5 is G900F / G900M / G900S,
but not N900F that is the NOTE 3 !
can anyone share s4(gti9505) build.prop file??.. the original one without any tweaks and stuff
