Firstly you liked the interface but slowly you got bored. Now you want to try Stock Android on the same device you can simply root the device and flash a custom ROM from various developers but you don\u2019t want to root it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Then how\u2019s its possible well we have a way for you all. There are various guides present at the internet which can even allow you to turn your Android Device in to Windows Phone and even an iPhone. This is not limited to just Windows Phone or iPhone, open sourcing of Android gives you ability to give the look you like to your device. There is end to it just you need to be creative. \u00a0For converting your Android phones interface in to Stock Android like without rooting you will need to follow the guide below so that your Android device looks like on Vanilla OS.<\/p>\n<h2>Get a stock look like Launcher:<\/h2>\n<p>There are number of launchers available in Android market which will take the place of interface found on various devices like Sense UI on HTC devices, Touch wiz on Samsung and many more. Various launchers are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Nova Launche<\/a>r,<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher&amp;feature=search_result\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0Apex Launcher<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher.hd&amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JpbnQuaG9sb2xhdW5jaGVyLmhkIl0.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Holo Launcher<\/a>,\u00a0Jelly Bean Launcher,\u00a0ICS Launcher\u00a0and\u00a0Action Launcher. All the launchers are present in various versions which are free and paid too.<\/p>\n<p>Out of all these launchers Nova and Apex launchers are my personal preferences reason is the amount of customizability and stability we get is more than others. After installing the launcher the screen on your device will appear like the screenshot below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4593\" alt=\"stock-Android-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-Android-1.jpg\" width=\"395\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-Android-1.jpg 395w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-Android-1-180x300.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Install the Stock theme:<\/h2>\n<p>Even though all of these launchers look like stock ones but still you can install various themes compatible with them and provide the look you want for Example you can even use iOS theme. If you like Metro like UI then you can use Windows 8 theme. There are more than hundreds of themes present which are also paid and free.<\/p>\n<p>Right now for this guide I am using\u00a0Jelly Bean Apex\/Nova Theme\u00a0it provides complete stock look along with stock icons and wallpapers. Now you device should look like this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4592\" alt=\"stock-android-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-2.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-2-180x300.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Make your Lock Screen as we see on Stock:<\/h2>\n<p>Next important step is to change the lock screen of the device. Though there are many lock screen applications present in the Android market but most of them are useless, at least for me. From the various applications available I recommend\u00a0WidgetLocker Lock Screen\u00a0,\u00a0Lock Screen Notifications\u00a0and\u00a0Holo Locker. Out of these Holo Locker and Lock Screen Notifications full filled my needs. Though Lock Screen Notification is not a Lock Screen application but it provides the notifications just like stock one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4591\" alt=\"stock-android-3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-3.jpg\" width=\"396\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-3.jpg 396w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-3-180x300.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Switch to Stock Keyboard:<\/h2>\n<p>You have almost made our device look like stock but still these are finishing touches remaining. Now you should download the stock keyboard and for this there is no option because\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Google recently made its Stock keyboard available for download<\/a>. So better download that one from here. If you don\u2019t like Google\u2019s Stock keyboard, you can try\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey&amp;feature=search_result\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Swiftkey<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Swype.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4590\" alt=\"stock-android-4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-4.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-4-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Make your camera Stock:<\/h2>\n<p>This is the last step in making your smart phone look like Stock Android so go ahead and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.moblynx.camerajbplus&amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmNhbWVyYWpicGx1cyJd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">download<\/a>\u00a0this stock like camera and have fun. Now you can see in the screenshots that it seems your device is on Vanilla Android.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4589\" alt=\"stock-android-5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-5.jpg\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-5.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/stock-android-5-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So these were some ways through which you can make your smart phone look like on Stock Android without even rooting the device.
