[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Amarius1:
Here's my guide and recommended app list for making your device look as close as possible to the new Google Pixel device. Also included are some extra bits that make things look and feel better and add a little bit more functionality. :laugh:

|||Required|||

ROM: Cm13/RR6.0.1

Kernel: Hotplug Enabler

SuperSU: Flash zip. Flashing the kernel breaks CM's root. The SuperSU zip works nice instead of that.

Xposed

|||For Theming|||

* Gboard (by Google) - Thks will give you the coolest Google keyboard around! Complete with intergrated searching and theming. TIP: Make sure you select the Dark Material with blue accents to get a nice Pixel look.

* Google Camera (by Google) - The default camera for default kind of situations! :cool: Nice and simple, does what it says on the box. Most Marshmallow .apks won't work showing a "can't connect to camera" error but you cam still use this version from ApkMirror:

Google Camera 2.7.010 (2617962-30) (arm) (Android 4.4+).apk

* Pixel Nougat (by Pashapuma) - This will give you the proper colors, status bar icons and other things that make your UI feel like Pixel. The app icons don't feel that "originally Pixel" but that is easily fixable with an icon pack. I personally preffer using the stock Marshmallow icons without round design.

* Nova Launcher (by Kevin Barry) - The behemont of Homescreens! ;) Use this to make your homescreen and drawers look more "stock". You can opt for making it look more like Pixel Launcher. Personally I like Stock Marshmallow more.

- Recommended settings for Nova:

• 4x4 grid

• Icon Size: 120%

• App Drawer Icon Size: 125%

• Folder Icon Size: 125%

• Normalise Icon Sizes (Look & Feel)

• [Gesture] Set so when on main screen pressing the Home Button locks screen

* Android N-Ify (by MrWasdennnoch) - This will customise your Settings, Quick Settings, Status Bar and many more! Also replaces Now On Tap with Google Assistant!

* [Xposed]Always Expandable Notifications - Lets you expand and minimise any notification!

* [Optional][Xposed]CM Visualiser Xposed - Like the music visualiser appearing on the Lock Screen when Media is playing? Now you can have it in the Notifications Drawer when you pull down! Don't worry, it shouldn't interfere with notifications.

* [Xposed]Screenshot Delay Remover - Removes some of the delay on taking a picture.

|||For extra functionality and performance|||

* Coolify - Attempts to reduce heating

* [Root+Xposed]Greenefy - A must-have everywhere! Lets you hibernate apps and saves you a lot of memory. Donate to receive the feature of even hibernating system apps!

* [Xposed]Installer Opt - Has useful options like displaying the permissions requested by an app directly when installing an .apk and also has options of disabling signature checks and other helpful things.

* Lucky Patcher - Lets you patch apps to get rid of some ads or have in-app purchases free in some cases. Also gives you the abillity to move apps to /system

* [Xposed]Powernap - Optimises battery usage even more!

* Kernel Auditor - Save huge amounts of power my optimising your Cpu!

- Recommended settings for best battery:

• Minimum Frequency: 400 Mhz

• Shedule workqueues: Enabled

• I/O scheduler: cfq

*HEBF Optimiser - Save huge amounts of power by tweaking System Paramiters.

- Recommended settings for best battery:

• Zipalign: On

• VIP Battery Saver: Medium

• Improve Battery (by reducing Wi-Fi scan interval): On

• Google Services Drain Fix: enable all

• Wi-Fi sleeper: On

• Performance Tab: enable all except Use GPU Acceleration

• Internet Tweaks Tab: enable all

• Tools Tab: Disable Logging, Kernel Panic (if you don't care about taking logcats you can disable these for a small boost in performance)

|||Settings|||

Buttons: Set the Recents Button Long Press action to "Last App". This way you'll get Nougat-Like app switching.

This is all everyone! Hope my setup worked for you and that you are enjoying a nice Nougat-like device, maybe working even better than before! :o
