I want to get as close to "stock" Android as possible

I have a S6 Edge, and it's the first non-nexus phone I've had in about 4 years. I love the hardware, but still getting used to the software. There are a few things that I would like to have replaced, in terms of look/feel and functionality, to match stock Android (Lollipop):

- Lock screen (double tap notification to open)
- Dialer and contacts
- Notifications drop down

Are there any good suggestions for these, in terms of apps to download? Not looking to root (yet). Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Take a look at Nova Launcher, it is very customizable.

Not sure about maybe a lockscreen app but unfortunately the other two won't really be changed by any launcher or app. They are core functions that really only a new ROM would change.
