Make s4 lockscreen similar to iPhone (Notifications, drop down, camera shortcut)

I used to have an iphone, but have since upgraded to the s4. I'm loving the upgrade, but I really wish that i could access things like the camera and drop-down notification menu thing from the lockscreen. I don't want to not use the pattern, so I want to know how to have a camera shortcut with the pattern unlock enabled.
I want to be able to access the drop down menu from the lock screen.
Lastly, I want the notifications to be displayed like they are on iPhone, with all the notifications for all the different apps to be displayed in a list with the time they were recieved next to them.
Is there any way to do all of this without rooting? If not, how do I root and what do I do from there? I will if it's the only way, but I'd really rather just avoid all that rooting stuff. Thanks for your response!
