Most Android manufurers put some type of custom UI on top of their Android devices to help differentiate theirs from the pack (and its a huge pack). Some of these can add nice features, but all of these usually come at a price. The price I find the most annoying (besides some ugly design choices that make the phone look like an educational childrens toy, looking at you Samsung) is the drop in performance. With all this custom stuff running on top of Android, it starts to slow things down to a crawl or even crash the phone once in a while.\r

So what do you do if maybe you arent a fan of Sense UI or Touchwiz or any of the other custom UIs? Well, you could root your device, flash a custom recovery, and then flash a custom ROM based on stock Android to solve that, but what if you dont feel like rooting for whatever reason (little chicken perhaps)? Have no fear, this is Android after all; the most customizable mobile operating system around. You simply can replace the different aspects that the custom UI replaced from stock Android with a third party app to get that stock look and feel.\r

Here is a list of how to replace each of the different aspects of your device to better resemble stock Android. Feel free to pick and choose from these to get the look and feel you want. If there are any I missed, feel free to leave them in the comments for others to try out!
