How to get download booster working on any Galaxy S5. No root required.

1. Download and install any cut apk (link below)

2. Open app and click new shortcut

3. Click activity

4. Scroll down to "download booster" and create a shortcut.

Voila. .. now you have a shortcut to toggle download booster on/off.

PROFIT :)

I wish this worked, but it unfortunately does not. This does go to show that the feature is there, yet deliberately disabled by Verizon, Sprint, an ATT.

Correct, though this was not my find, here's a couple screen shots showing the perceived reason for it's failing. The entry that is believed to enable the actual functionality, in the \system\csc\feature.xml is set to "false", and being that the the feature.xml file is "read only", we kinda need root access to modify it.

So I just called Verizon and all I have to say is its pretty sad when they tell you to use nova for now until Verizon officially turns it on.... nova doesn't even completely turn it on considering it never activates smh.

I'd say you were lucky to find the one person within Verizon that would bring you even that close to setting it up. That person is clearly over-qualified to be working at Verizon.

I can confirm it works on my Sprint Model Rooted Galaxy S5.
I followed the OP's instructions:
1. I Downloaded and installed any cut apk
2. I Opened app and clicked new shortcut
3. I Clicked activity
4. I Scrolled down to "download booster" and created a shortcut.

I now have a shortcut to toggle download booster on/off.

I toggled it on and got the 4G/WIFI symbol next to the WIFI. I downloaded a movie and my speed was significantly faster.
Remember You have to have a 4G/LTE connection and be downloading a file larger than 30mb. It will not work with 3G.
