Well I'd personally recommend the Galaxy S5, based on its graphics and size, but that's just my opinion. And as for emulators there is a wide variety out there. PSP Emulator Spoiler
Nintendo DS Emulator Spoiler
GBA Emulator Spoiler
N64 Emulator Spoiler
And I noticed you asked for free apps. That's simple. Just use Aptoide. |

As for applications there are quite a lot. I don't see the need for a control centre for as you can just swipe down to bring up the notification tray which has most stuff in control centre. This one looks best though and it supports lockscreen. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...enter&hl=en_GB There's quite a few iOS keyboard out there but few have any sort of text prediction. Although it's not a complete replica SwiftKey comes with a theme feature where you can buy/select skins for your keyboard. This one looks the most iOS-like to me and is completely free. http://swiftkey.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Classic-White-300x258.png (Unsupported image host) PSP emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...psspp&hl=en_GB NDS emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....dsemu.drastic The NDS emulator is $5.99, if the price is an issue I'd just get an APK from somewhere and install it. Most of the other NDS emulators (that I've used anyway) are fairly slow and kinda suck.

I have a OnePlus One and I totally recommend. It's quite easily the best phone for it's price, not only does it have great specs but it's also running Cyanogenmod which allows for some amazing features and customization options which stock Android doesn't offer. From what you said it sounds like you're trying to make your phone kinda iOS like? There's a theme for that. The whole invite process used to be a little tedious but they now allow anyone to buy it on a Tuesday which makes it a whole lot easier

Okay guys, pretend I never said keyboard. Control center. That's it. Literally one thing guys, I'm not looking to recreate iOS at all, I just want this one thing or any alternative that lets me control brightness volume and media playing from the lockscreen and anywhere within the device. It's just an accessibility thing that I use too much to do without. Like the Start menu. |

I know you discarded the idea of a different Android keyboard, but thought I'd still give my information. You can download SwiftKey or Swype on the Play Store (I use Swype) and they both offer keyboard customization (Swiftkey more than Swype imo). No root required. I also use as said above, Aptoide, for free apps. Also no root required. |
