Is it the one posted earlier in this thread or did you get it from somewhere else?
It's the one from earlier in this thread. The instructions for installing it could be a little more detailed. So I'll do it. This is NOT a flashable zip.

  1. Make a NANDROID.
  2. Download the attached TouchWizHome_ZERO_Albe95.zip to your pc.
  3. Copy the extracted folder called TouchWizHome_ZERO to your sd card.
  4. Using root explorer move the TouchWizHome_ZERO folder to /system/priv-app/
  5. Using root explorer change the permissions for TouchWizHome_ZERO folder to chmod 0755 (see screenshot for the root explorer check marks.)
  6. Using root explorer enter the TouchWizHome_ZERO folder.
  7. Using root explorer change the permissions for TouchWizHome_Zero.apk to chmod 0644 (see screenshot for the root explorer check marks.)
  8. Using root explorer change the permissions for the lib folder to chmod 0755 (see the screenshot for the root explorer check marks)
  9. Using root explorer enter the lib folder.
  10. Using root explorer change the permissions for the arm folder to chmod 0755 (see the screenshot for the root explorer check marks)
  11. Using root explorer enter the arm folder.
  12. Using root explorer change the permissions for the libdaliapp.so file to chmod 0644 (see the screenshot for the root explorer check marks)
  13. Using root explorer change the permissions for the libvsync.so file to chmod 0644 (see the screenshot for the root explorer check marks)
  14. Using root explorer back out to /system/priv-app/ again.
  15. Using root explorer copy the TouchWizHome factory folder (NOT the new one you just installed! LOL!) to your SDCARD so you can return to stock if you want.
  16. Using root explorer DELETE the TouchWizHome factory folder in /system/priv-app/
  17. Reboot to recovery.
  18. Clear cache and Dalvik cache.
  19. Reboot.
  20. When you reboot it will ask you for a default Launcher to use. Don't set the default until you're sure this is working. So use the "just once" option to test it.
  21. When you enter the new TouchWiz screen you will notice that the "grid" option is greyed out. Change your wallpaper to something else than what it currently is and back again if you wish. This will fix this issue and the grid option will be available.
  22. Reboot again and select the new TouchWiz launcher as your default if everything is ok.
  23. Profit.

This is literally as detailed as you can get on how to do this. If you follow this you will have a working S6 Launcher on your note 4.

I am new here, just purchased a refurbish note 4 with 5.1.1 Android.

One quick question. How do I install the zip ?
I boot in the recovery mode, do not see the " install " option.
Do I have to flash the custom rom ? and which one ?

Thanks!

You will need to first install a custom recovery in order to flash anything. Please read as much as possible before attempting to do any of these mods on your device.

Use the S7 TW Launcher. It supports screen grid size, but not the stock Note 4 weather. You have to do a little swapping of files properly.
Hey how you did that? I wanted to keep the s7 launcher but without the weather widget is a no go
Can you help me please? Btw is that on marshmallow?

What ROM are you running, and what Android version 5.1.1 or 6.0.1. Depending on what you have this may or may not be simple. Some have tried and failed others succeeded.
