[TUTORIAL] Make your Galaxy S6 look like the Pixel - Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps

First, I'll assume you have already rooted your S6
Secondly, I'll also assume that you have a custom recovery installed
Thirdly, I'll assume that you have an unlocked bootloader (btw, this is optional, really only if you want the true experience)
1. Step: Prepairing
You have 2 options when doing this
Either you'll select this:
-1. Option: Stock ROM with Good Lock
-2. Option: Somewhat stable CM, macs18max's build
If you select the 1. option, you will have a higher chance of bugging out and battery life degrading, but you at least have something stable to work with
If you select the 2. option, you will have a pretty darn low chance of any bugs, but the ROM is in a questionable condition
2. Step: Installing Xposed
In this tutorial I'm going to be focusing on CM, just because I have it and I think you should give it a try too
You are going to download the package named "xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip" from: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/
Then boot into recovery, flash it and then wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot
Then go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758 and download the apk and then install it
That's it
3. Step: Xposed Modules
This is the list of Xposed Modules you're going to need
Please install one module at a time, don't install them all at once
-Android N-ify (The main look module)
-Assistant Enabler (Enables Google Assistant)
-GravityBox [MM] (This will enable us to enable the softkeys)
-Pixel Dock (Makes the dock slightly transparent with a tone of white)
-Pixel Navigation Bar (Makes the softkeys look like on Pixel)
Enabling softkeys on GravityBox is done by this: Open the app, go to Navigation bar and enable: Master Switch and Enable navigation bar and then reboot
4. Step: Pixel Theme for CM
Install this app from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=v23.labs.pixel.harsh&hl=en and enable it in Theme Chooser
5. Step: Pixel Launcher
Get this launcher from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher&hl=en
That should be it

Or you can flash Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip from internal SD card via CWM so that could stop work of Xposed module and Xposed framework (I used it once when I was testing one module which is now outdated and it doesn't work good on CM10.1).
And yeah I should edit my post with 0) step called ALWAYS MAKE NANDROID BACKUP (you should never know what can go wrong)
10 point for Gryffindor. Exacly. Everywhere should be pointed "make backup bofore any change". I do it and I have never had any problem after I screwed something

How To Make You Phone Look Like The New Android Nougat!

So People While Having A Non-Nexus Device(Actually a Motorola One) I Wanted To Try a the Latest Version Of Nougat On My Phone Right Of The Bat So With A Bit Of Googling And Xdaing(Searching In XDA????) I Found The Way To Make Your Phone Look Like Android 7.0.
This Tutorial Just Customizes Your Phone From A Cosmetic Point Of View. Nothing Is Changed Internally!
So The Requirements Are :
1. An android Phone
2.Root Access
3.Xposed
4.Android N-ify
5.Nexus Launcher
6.Nougat Navigation Bar Module
7.Custom Recovery(optional)
And That's It!
Procedure: So The Thing Is Pretty Much Explanatory So Here It Goes :
Assuming You Got An Android Phone Having Root Access And Exposed Installed,
Go In the Downloads Section Of the Xposed App,
Type "Android N-ify" Then Download It From There,Install It,Activate It(But Don't Reboot). Now Download "Nougat Navigation",Install It,Activate It And Now Reboot.
Now For The The Leaked Version Of The "Nexus" (Yeah Nexus) Launcher :-
1.Assuming That You Have a Custom Recovery,Just Flash The Zip Provided.
2.If You Don't Have Any Custom Recovery Then Unzip The Zip,Copy The App Into /System/app and CHmod It To 644 .
But The Problem Is That Those Thirsty For The Swipe Left To "Google Now" Won't Get this Feature The Method 2.
Have Fun With The Nexus Feel Of Nougat!
Episode 2 Coming!

Google Pixel experience with working assistant for Yureka (No Bugs)

We all know new google assistant is pretty cool on Pixel devices.Google kept it to Pixel only but various developers helped us to bring it to any device and now it is completely bug free.I have compiled all the steps in one thread to make it working on YU Yureka device(works on any other device too).
So let's start then.
Requirements
1. Obviously rooted android with a custom recovery.
2. Android version 6.0+
That's it.
Features
1.) Pixel Launcher along with new wallpapers app ,new dialer app from google and Pixel ringtones.
2.) Working google assistant.('Ok Google' working too.)
How To Install
( TIP* Before proceeding with installing Zips just clear your google app data to help in the process of enabling assistant successfully)
1.) Download the zip of pixel experience(for your android version) by FaserF as attached here :- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=122156
2.) Furthur download these 3 zips to make assistant working :- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=121914
(these will add required build.prop 'ro.opa.eligible_device=true' and 'ro.product.model=Pixel'
+ making a backup of your current build.prop and not touching your original build.prop settings.)
2.) Copy them to your device...all the zips.
3.) First flash GoogleAssistantVelvet.zip .
4.) Then flash GoogleAssistantBuildProp.zip (this will install the "tweak.prop" into your build.prop).
5.) Finally flash GooglePixelExperience-flashable-(whatever vesion of android you are on).zip and reboot.
6.) U can now flash additional zips like those of boot animation.
Google assistant may not appear on long tapping home button for a few times but eventually it will appear.
To fix 'ok Google' detection just download the chopAssistant app from play store (here is the link :- credit to @masterchop for making this app ChopAssistant https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ssistant&hl=en)
That's all...I know its a lot to do but then just let's think about the rewards. :laugh:
Bugs
I have tested this method myself on my Yureka device(CM14.1 unofficial build) and for me everything is totally fine.
Report if u find any.
F.A.Q.
1.) Long tapping home button takes to old google now on tap
Give it about 5 minutes and try again...If still doesn't work then clear google velvet app data,then uninstall the google app completely and download google app beta from play store by registering for a beta tester. Reboot...Assistant will appear now.
2.) Dialer app crashes
Give it all permissions.
3.) Google app crashes
Give it all permissions.
Quick review:-
I want only assistant to be working fully. Do i need to flash both Pixel experience zip??
