Is there any mods to use AOSP style multitasking? I would just try an AOSP rom but i'm a bit worried about the bricking problems.

with this rom it can be enabled. just hold on the settings icon in the status bar.

I think there are some ROMs with that as an option, but I'm not sure which ones off the top of my head. Check the OPs.
swapps
theres an App called Swapps that allows you to kind of do the whole multitasking thing, check it out i believe its in the play store and i used it on my E3D and actually liked it a lot and just havent actually re installed it. check it out and let us know what you think.
Which do people prefer on their Xz1?
I personally use Gravitybox as Xblast has been more hassle than it is really worth.
Anyone else use something different?
gravity box, pretty neat.
i just wish it had an option to leave the notification bar unmodded.. i like other features of gravitybox, but the navbar i whould actually like to leave as is...

Good shout on the statusbar mod.
Xblast is the one for me, nice and simple
Only need gravity box, there isn't anything i need that xblast could provide.
GravityBox works fine for me, but CRT Screen Off animation doesn`t look that beautiful, as it should be (Too fast or smth like that)
Is there a comparison of the two anywhere? I can't find one and I'd like to see the two feature list side by side....

Yeah a comparison is something I would also be interested in.
Gravity Box
i whould like to swtich my post from earlier, i started using xblast recently and it seems better.
more costumization options and you can leave the startus bar unharmed unlike in gravitybox, plus the features that lets you choose notification light for different apps is free, unlike gravitybox which is only in paid version.
I use Xblast, have better customizations but I like Advanced Power-off from GravityBox. Remain unclear to me why I cannot have Transparent bars with both of them, gravity or xblast don't do this job on 4.3.

I'm looking for as basic of an AOSP rom as posssible. Dev is full of AOKP roms that are all the same just different names. I dont want hovering crap, fancy notifications tweaks and colors, pretty nav bar buttons, just basic AOSP and I'll change what I want myself with GravityBox in Xposed if I feel the need....

Awesome!
I got a Note 3 recently because my iPhone 7 took a crap and I got it rooted and Safestrap installed but I quickly found out that most of the Lollipop ROMs for this device are extremely buggy. I decided to get back to stock OC2 that's rooted and I use Xposed to theme some things (Wanam barely works anymore) but I'm really looking for a dark theme dialer, contacts, settings and systemui because the ugly white and green and blue is just not appealing. After searching, I found just about zero info pertaining to blacked out apps or flashable themes for my stock de-odex Lollipop ROM on my Note 3. If anyone has any tips, tricks, links etc that would be great. Also looking for maybe a better alternative to Wanam if there is one? Thanks in advance.

So I'm late sorry about that. I use gravitybox on kitkat so I haven't really gotten to try this but there's an Xposed module called MonsterUI. The module is for Kitkat and what it does is makes your phone look like an S5 with it's own customizable options. Again I don't know how well it works but from the looks of it, it is good. You can get it in the play store if you need. You probably already know about it though.
Which one do you guys recomend for theming. I have been running substratum with Nova.
I like the theme store a lot. I'm running a nice dark theme with some purple in it. I've heard of substratum, but never actually used it.
I haven't used Nova on this, so far. I never thought I'd utter these words, but I'm liking touchwiz on the Note 8!

I have always used Nova since my galaxy S2
however... now TouchWiz has the option to swipe down to pull the notification bar down and Substratum is here...
im using a mixture of Substratum / Overlays from XDA / Theme from Samsung theme store with TouchWiz
Also because of these new updates this is my first ever device i have not rooted (YET)
That's pretty big for me!

I prefer substratum and another launcher. Some of the theme store themes look pretty good but the themers are only allowed theme the samsung apps and you end up with the cohesiveness of your theme looking bad.

this was my issue when i used Nova, annoying seeing everything themed and then opening the edge panel and all the icons being totally different.
however the only thing that kept me off touchwiz was the notification bar not being able to be pulled down from anywhere, but now that's 'fixed' ive been using the theme store and overlays... only substratum theme im using is to get the clock centered. still lots more choice with Nova/other launchers but there are some hidden gems in the theme store, or you could even grab some xda themes if you wanna go through the hassle of getting them to stick.
also i dont think substratum has enough choice for Samsung users yet, maybe i am too used to substratum for stock android rom. so much customisation where as for us at the moment barely any in comparison, even less if you are not willing to pay for every theme.

I always forget about the edge panel lol. I'm using Nova now but think I'm going to switch to the theme store for a bit. There aren't a lot of choices at all for substratum yet. I was trying to find a way to change the nav bar but none of the over lays work that I have found.

There's an aosp one in the overlays thread. You could also edit the apk and replace the aosp icons with your own to make your own nav bar using Apkeditor from the playstore
I just like the stock Samsung one better

LOL, glad to hear I'm not the only one! I've been using Nova since my Galaxy S3 days and was always the first thing I installed but I haven't used it yet on my Note 8, kinda liking TW right now.

I have 2 x Themes from theme store by Lucas Kendi.
"Blac UI" is a free theme.
His theme has i think the Pixel navbars.
If you install theme it also changes the Samsung
navbar.Also ringtones, notification sound. Etc
So ringtones etc, you have to change back to you preferred ones
His other theme (i have) Oxy black also changes the navbar.
Overall i use a mixture of Nova Prime /Samsung Themes and Klwp themes.
I found that as stated by others Substratum
themes are very limited and not worth installing on Note 8.
As i already have most paid Substratum Samsung Themes
i use them mostly on my spare Note 5.

Thanks!
Looked promising but it creates a theme at the end rather than an installable overlay like substratum. It's a nice tool to make a theme though
(Only problem is I then loose my Samsung theme icons etc) also have to go through the whole getting a 'Free trial' theme to stick
I'm happy with my setup at the moment anyway :good:
The only other issue I had with that app was not enough options to change I could only change a few bits, was hoping to fully black out apps but could only do headers and status bar etc
