MAKE ANY PHONE LOOK AND FEEL LIKE ANDROI L 5.0.2

GADGETS:

TURN ANY PHONE INTO LOLLIPOP:

ANDROID LOLLIPOP IS IN THE AIR: GOOGLE RELEASED ITS NEW ANDROID LOLLIPOP 5.0.X RECENTLY. THOUGH NEXUS USERS,HIGH END SMARTPHONE USERS GOT THEIR UPDATES LOW END SMARTPHONES HAVE A VERY GLOOMY CHANCE OF GETTING UPDATES. BUT YOU CAN GET THE FEEL OF ANDROID L ON YOUR DEVICE. THIS TUTORIAL INCLUDES A NUMBER OF APPS AND THEMES TO MAKE AND FEEL THE MATERIAL DESIGN.

WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADIEU LETS START

 1. THE NON ROOT METHOD:

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS ROOT, CUSTOM RECOVERY OR CUSTOM ROM. BUT YOU WANT THE MATERIAL LOOK, YOU OBVIOUSLY DESERVE THINGS BUT YOU WILL GET THE ACTUAL FEEL BUT NOT ALL THE FEATURES.

• LAUNCHER:A LOT OF L BASED LAUNCHERS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE PLAY STORE . IF YOU WANT STOCK NEXUS FEEL I RECOMMEND GOOGLE NOW LAUNCHER(V 1.1.0.1167994 UP). OR YOU CAN ALSO GO FOR NOVA LAUNCHER(3.3.+).THESE ARE HEAVY LAUNCHERS BUT IF YOU WANT SOMETHING LIGHT I RECOMMEND L LAUNCHER :)
• LOCKSCREEN:GET L LOCK SCREEN FROM PLAY STORE. THOUGH SOME TIMES IT FREEZES ,ITS THE BEST.
• DIALER:I LIKE THE NEW DIAL-ER BY GOOGLE  VERY MUCH. EVEN THERE ARE MANY APPS FOR THAT FEEL TOO LIKE LOLLIPOP DIALER-ANDROID 5, OR YOU ALSO MAY CHOOSE EX DIALER FOR YOUR CALLS.
• WALLPAPER: YOU ENVY THE  LOLLIPOP STOCK  WALLPAPERS, DONT WORRY AS I HAVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION : DOWNLOAD LOLLIPOP WALLPAPER FROM  APPS FROM PLAY STORE THAT HAVE A COLLECTION OF THE WALLPAPERS OR SEARCH "MATERIAL WALLPAPERS" IN GOOGLE AND DOWNLOAD
• KEYBOARD: IN THIS CONTEXT THERE IS A COMPLETE WINNER. GOOGLE KEYBOARD IS THE BEST IN THIS CONTEXT .IT HAS BOTH THE OPTIONS FOR MATERIAL LIGHT KEYBOARD AND MATERIAL DRAK KEYBOARD.
• CALCULATOR: THE NEW CALCULATOR IS FAR DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS ONE . THE BEST ACCORDING TO ME IS A PORTED ONE BY XDA DEV VIRJOG. GET IT FROM HERE
• RECENT APPS:DOWNLOAD ''FANCY SWITCHER ''FROM PLAY STORE AND ENJOY CARD STACK LIKE RECENT APPS.THOUGH I PERSONALLY DONT LIKE THIS APP,THIS APPP GIVES YOU THE FEEL
• THEMES:TO TURN YOUR PHONE INTO A BETTER THEMED PHONE DOWNLOAD "THEMER" FROM PLAY STORE AND SEARCH FOR ANDROID L THEMES THERE

Another thing is the eggster: DOWNLOAD LOLLIPOP LAND FROM THE PLAY STORE BY J RUMMY APPS AND ENJOY THE  LOLLIPOP EGGSTER

ANDROID RUN TIME FOR KITKAT 4.4.X:THIS FEATURE IS NEWLY INTRODUCED IN ANDROID L.IT CAN ALSO BE DONE IN KITKAT 4.4.X .STEPS TO DO SO

• GO TO SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE
• IN ABOUT PHONE, CLICK ON BUILD NUMBER 7 TIMES UNTIL YOU SEE THE POPUP "YOU ARE A DEVELOPER" .
• GO BACK TO SETTING. YOU WILL SEE A NEW OPTION CALLED DEVELOPER OPTIONS. GO THERE
• NOW GO TO AND CLICK ON "SELECT RUNTINE" AND ENABLE  "USE ART"
• NOW REBOOT

NOTE:SOME DEVICES MAY SLOW DOWN DUE TO THIS ,IF YOUR PHONE SLOWS DOWN, GO TO SETTING AND DO THE SAME AND ENABLE "USE DALVIK".THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR DEVICES WITH GRAVITY BOX.

           

2. FOR ROOTED USERS: ROOT PERMISSION MEANS GRANTING PERMISSION FROM CORE ACCORDING TO YOUR WISH NOT ACCORDING TO GOOGLE'S WILL.IT IS A BIT COMPLICATED PROCESS SO PROCEED IF YOU ONLY HAVE ROOT AND CERTAIN BACKUPS LIKE NANDROID BACKUP OR READBACK

NOW AGAIN I WILL DIVIDE THESE STEPS INTO TWO---PEOPLE WHO CAN PLAY WITH  THEIR PHONES AND CHICKEN HEARTED ONES.

FOR SAFE LOVERS:I WILL WRITE ABOUT A FEW PROCESS TO CUSTOMIXE YOUR UI .AGAIN ,FOLLOW ONLY IF YOU HAVE ROOT PERMISSION.

• XPOSED INSTALLER:PEOPLE SAY SAVE THE BEST FOR THE LAST BUT I PRESENT THE BEST AND ONLY ONE FOR REAL LIKE EXPERIENCE. DOWNLOAD THE XPOSED FROM HERE .THEN I WILL GIVE YOU A NUMBER OF METHODS BASED ON XPOSED INSTALLER
• TINTED STATUS BAR:THIS IS THE BEST FEATURE OF LOLLIPOP FRAMEWORK.THE STATUSBAR AND NAVIGATION BARS LOOKS  TRANSPARENT AND TINTED AS THE ACTION BAR OF THE PROCESS.SO DOWNLOAD THE MODULE "TINTED STATUS BAR". AFTER THEN ENABLE React to Action Bar visibility change, Reverse Tint action bar, Allow 3rd party interaction, Animate Color change AND SEE THE MAGIC
• GRAVITY BOX:THIS IS A COLLECTION OF CERTAIN TWEAKS THAT HELPS TO MAKE THE  UI SMOOTHE AND BETTER. CHANGE THE FOLLOWING THINGS:

----------NAVIGATION BARS: GO TO NAVIGATION BAR TWEAKS AND ENABLE ANDROID L NAVIGATION BARS.

----------STATUS BAR:GO TO STATUS BAR TWEAKS AND GET YOUR PHONE MODDED LIKE YOU WISH.

• XSTANA: GO TO XSTANA MODULE AND CUSTOMISE STATUS BAR AND NAVIGATION BARS LIKE LOLLIPOP FRAMEWORK.
• HK THEME MANAGER: CM THEME MANAGER IS THE BEST.PARAS JASAL ,A DEV HAS PORTED A THEME CALLED MATERIYO AND HAS PORTED THIS THEME FROM HERE.DOWNLOAD HK THEME MANAGER FROM XPOSED AND APPLY THE THEME AND REBOOT. 

                  ENJOY YOUR PHONE THEMED LIKE ANDROID.

FOR DARING PEOPLE: 

DO NOT PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP IF YOU ARE NOT CONFIDENT ,THOUGH YOU HAVE ROOT ,FOLLOW THE PREVIOUS STEPS :

FOR THE FIRST GROUP  ITS THE BEST TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM. BEST LOLLIPOP THEMED ROMS ARE CYANOGENMOD 12, PA 5 ,MOKEE 5.0.2 FOR MANY DEVICES AND FOR MTK 6582 DEVICES THEMED ROMS LIKE MATERIAL+,POPKAT,SLIMFRESH ARE THE BEST.
