I have a Dell Venue 8 running Android 4.4.2 KitKat. I want my Android to look like Lollipop without rooting, from status-bar to navigation keys, everything like Lollipop.

1This device seems to have a lollipop update from OEM. Is there a reason you want to theme but not update to Lollipop?– Firelord ♦Commented May 29, 2015 at 13:42

Thats not possible. Not without root. Even with root there is no mod to turn that navigation panel as you said (atleast no universal verified mod). You can change navigation keys though. Again, not without root.
At best, you can install some custom launcher and make homescreen icons and style look like lollipop, nothing beyond that.

1Yup, and additional launcher and icons are only customization you can do further. Since modifying any system elements (for ex the notification panel, statusbar, navigation bar etc etc) require system files modding which needs root. Commented May 29, 2015 at 9:14

2Yes there are a good bunch of similar apps. Besides super status bar theres omega status bar a lot of similar apps too. But they simply make an overlay on your current statusbar. In other words, they dont modify anything, but instead try to overdraw on them. Hence more than70% of times it wont work because android doesn't allow overdrawing system elements that easy.... You can clearly see that from reviews of that app. So if I were you, I wouldnt rely on these apps.. Again, you can always give them a shot ;) Commented May 29, 2015 at 9:19
