I tried my best to make them look the same as the S4 theme in every aspect. Please guys try to report any missing thing that you find (Wrong text, image or anything you find missed) because you'll be helping a lot to make this theme as perfect as it could be:highfive:. I will be working on more apks and when I finish modding a new apk I will share it with you in this thread!

I tried to include as many screenshots and illustrations as I could. So by this it would be easier on you to choose weather to move from Stock-Black theme to this White S4 theme!
Now let's start!!
1. White S4 Messaging:
How to install:
1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecMms.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Download:
SecMms.apk
2. White S4 SecContacts:
How to install:
1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecContacts.apk.
3. Download both apks bellow. Place the SecContacts.apk in it's proper location and place the twframework-res.apk in system/framework.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Downloads:
SecContacts.apk
twframework-res.apk( Needed to give you white S4 ScrollBar)
3. White S4 FileManager:
How to install:
1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecNoteMyFiles.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot
Downloads:
SecNoteMyFiles.apk
4. White S4 JobManager:
How to install:
1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your JobManager.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot

5. White S4 Email: *(NEW)

6. White S4 DownloadProvider:
How to install:

2. Check for the location of your SecDownloadProviderUi.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot
Downloads:
SecDownloadProviderUi.apk
7. White S4 SecPhone:
Here comes an interesting part! The S4 Phone dialer is almost impossible to port to the Note because the S4 has several .pngs for each dialer button while the Note consists of one dialer background only. So, I decided to make my own S4 Dialer. I used some S4 dialer pngs and then I used Gimp and after hours of work I was able to create a Dialer that looks almost the same as the S4 dialer.:victory:
Note: The dialer is included in SecContacts.apk. So, if you only flashed the SecPhone.apk please flash with it the SecContacts.apk in post 1 because they are interelated.
How to install:
1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecPhone.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Downloads:
SecPhone.apk
8. White S4 ClockPackage: (Alarm, Timer, StopWatch...)
How to install:
1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your ClockPackage.apk.
3. Download both apks bellow. Place ClockPackage.apk in its proper location and place twframework-res.apk in system/framework.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Downloads:
ClockPackage.apk
twframework-res.apk( Needed to give you white S4 ScrollBar)
9. White S4 SecSettings:
In this SecSettings, I tried to make it look as much as I could as the S4 Settings. So, as you can notice in the illustrations bellow, I included all S4 Settings icons, .pngs, .9.pngs, and the HD images of the S4. As for the text colors i tried to fix most text colors and change them to the S4 text colors. Also, some Settings are interrelated to other apks that I've made. So, for example, if you want white "Mobile Networks" Settings, then you have to install the white SecPhone.apk above. Another example is that if you want to get white Account and Sync settings in SecContacts, then you have to install the white SecSettings. I believe you got my point!:highfive:
How to install:
1. Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecSettings.apk.
3. Download the SecSettings.apk and place it in it's respective location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Downloads:
SecSettings.apk
10. White Calculator:
I tried to make our calculator look as the S4 calculator but unfortunately, the S4 calculator is heavilly decoded. So, I just themed our Note calculator to white and changed the text colors to S4 text colors.
How to install:
1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecCalculator2.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Downloads:
SecCalculator2.apk
11.White S4 Multiwindow:
I already did an S4 White Multiwindow, so if you want the white multiwindow, visit my thread: White S4 Multiwindow
Or if you like, you can download transparent S4 Multiwindows or S4 multiwindows with custom text colors that I've also made earlier:
Transparent and Custom S4 Multiwindows
12. White S4 Keyboard:
The S4 keyboard is different from the Note 2 white keyboard in many aspects. For example, the upper number row is light grey while in the Note 2 it is deep grey. Also, the icons on the keyboard of the S4 are deep grey while on the Note they are deep-blue. So, In this keyboard I made it almost the same as the S4 keyboard and included White keyboard settings and white shadowed text like in the S4 and many other modifications.
How to install:
1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SamsungIME.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Downloads:
SamsungIME.apk
Download for Aroma Installer:
Note: This installer does not include the white Multiwindow so just install the white multiwindow from the link above!

I beleive the easiest way to get root access is to install a custom kernel. Go to the Note 2 development section and download a custom kernel of your choice that gives root to your phone!

These mods are not present in a single location pal. They are present in separate locations (some are in system/app and others are in preload) and their locations differ from one rom to another. So, making one flashable.zip for all apps is not a good idea and may cause trouble to your phone and maybe Fcs.
If you are facing any problem with installation or you are unfamiliar to installation then just ask me and I will guide you step by step.

Yes but you must delete the .odex file of the app that you want to use. For example, if you want to use SecContacts.apk then you must delete the SecContacts.apk and SecContacts.odex and then use my mods! But, keep a copy in a safe location as backup just in case something went wrong!

First, Good work. Congratulations !
So addressing to above issue
1.No, i don't think it will cause issue, even copying, and changing permission for 9 application is not easy job. even odexed ROM user starts getting Force closes and really painful to make job complete, particularly with newbie.
Any way i have made it for you, so who having difficulty can use it.
2.Yes this issue can be solved by CWM flashable zip. Script attached will remove odex as well user have choice to make backup/revert too.
3.Nope, That is on Note1.
Here attaching two separate zip for backup and revert

Here is solution.
---- --------------
Ok Now How to use for users.
--------------
Use CWM/TWRP to flash (required zip are attached at bottom of this post) Mobile Odin user can flash zip with Mobile Odin - OTA/update zip option, but backup/revert utility won't work.
1. backup : you can Flash White_theme_backup.zip
This will make backup of all the files you going to modify to int SD card/WhiteMod folder
Check backup made successfully before flashing mod.
2.Flashing MOD
Now Download following apk from OP
ClockPackage.apk
JobManager.apk
SamsungIME.apk
SecCalculator2.apk
SecContacts.apk
SecDownloadProviderUi.apk
SecMms.apk
SecNoteMyFiles.apk
SecSettings.apk
SecPhone.apk
twframework-res.apk
Download Flashable zip WhiteMod_WinterLove.zip
Open WhiteModLove.zip (dont extract) and drag all application except twframework-res.apk to system/app folder
sameway drag and drop twframework-res.apk to system/framework folder
close zip file.
Now you can flash this file
NOTE : Odexed user have to push all the above said apk, deodexed user can have choice to exclude any apk if they wish.
Also in future any apk added to OP, you have to do it manually OR have to change script
3 Revert
You can flash Whitemod_revertV2.zip to revert to Original (your previous) mod
