first tell which custom rom you are using. Go to the mods and themes section of that rom. If there is theme of that rom is available you can download it and flash it from recovery. Simple

If your ROM doesn't support themes - you can use the Xposed framework to install CM or AOKP themes. Install the HKtheme module from the framework. Here's the link to Xposed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

Go for S4TheWin V3
Or else, is your phone Rooted??
If yes, install Xposed Framework
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
then Download Tinted Status bar from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457265
In that way you wouldn't have to switch ROMs.

Please first back up SystemUI.apk from your mobile
This file is located in Root/System/app folder (it can be done by using any root file manager application).
Then go the thread of SamRenz Custom ROM v1.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642006)
From his first post download "SystemUI Patch for SamRenz ROM"
Extract the zip file.
Then copy the new SystemUI.apk from the extracted folder SamRenz_Patch_SystemUI/system/app to your mobile Root/System/app folder using any root file manager application.
Reboot your mobile.
If any problem arises then replace your backed up SystemUI.apk
Use galaxy locker

You have to disable the Default Lock screen from settings and then enable galaxy lockscreen. Hope this helps.

You'll need a CM ROM to use that, the clues in the title. Themes can be installed in a few ways and generally what they're for either in the title or the theme thread.

"themes can be installed in a few ways". Launcher themes, Theme Chooser, X-Themes, themed ROMS or themed apks, you'll need to read the threads for how to install each one/way.

Note 3 Neo Themes

Hey Guys,
I was able to successfully root my Note 3 Neo (N750) with help of Philz recovery (many thanks). After doing usual nandroid backups, Xposed and stuff.
I wanted to change look and feel of my phone. Since there are not many custom roms and most of the cool themes are for CM, I tried my hand at HKThemeManager to apply CM themes on stock samsung rom.
Did anyone had any success?
I would like to port themes to be compatible with stock firmware. Devs/seniors please point me in right direction.
Thanks,
Nikhil

I dont think it is possible to use CM theme in Stock Samsung. If you are using S5 launcher then google you will get some theme for it.
Ok. Although HKThemeManager allows using CM themes on stock roms, but I am not able to utilise it due to some kind of permission error. Any way I like stock rom on note 3neo due to features and functionality (it's so feature rich).
Any idea how to change caller id interface? (Not uci app pls)
I use mihome launcher and download themes from the launcher itself.

you can push the apk file of the launcher you have downloaded to /system/app
and delete the stock touchwizhome launcher in system/priv-app
to use the custom launcher as a stock launcher

If you use cyanogen mod based roms then you can download from playstore there is a lot of themes
But, if you use stock rom or any other without theme engine, then my suggest is to download nova launcer or any other which have support for changing design.
