Here's a zip you can flash on firmware NCG. Thanks to @BigBot96

OKAY guys I got it working. See screenshots. AND FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Requirements:

Use this services.jar NOT the one from the zip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vjq70yfdxrmmj9/services.jar
Root
ES File Explorer (make sure Root Mode is enabled)
v2.1 odex file from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2719582

YMMV, so I recommend copying these two files from your system folder to somewhere safe (external sd or PC) just in case something goes wrong.

GOOD LUCK!

1. Download/unzip the services.odex file from the zip. Download modified services.jar from here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vjq70yfdxrmmj9/services.jar )

2. Copy Both files to the /system root folder
3. Fix all permissions to rw-r-r (3 checks in first column, first check in second, rest blank) DOUBLE CHECK THIS (See Attached)
4. Copy services.JAR from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite.
5. Copy services.ODEX from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite again.
6. Reboot

Mine took a few minutes to boot up, and reodexed everything "Android is updating apps".
?????
Profit.

CLICK THANKS.

btw HUGE thanks to RevelationOmega for doing the hard part!!

Also thanks to joshw0000 and Joderme for testing/helping me come up with this!

TURNING ON DOWNLOAD BOOSTER

CREATE A SHORTCUT TO ENABLE
1. Download AnyCut from the play store (icon is a mushroom)
2. Open the app, and choose New Shortcut > Activity
3. Find Download Booster
4. This should add a shortcut icon to your Home Screen
5. Use shortcut to turn it on.

TO GET THE QUICKSETTINGS TILE
1. Download SQlite editor (the one in the screenie works best)
2. In apps, find settings storage > settings.db > system
3. Search for notification
4. Find the three labeled Notification_Panel_Active_App_List, notification_panel_default_active_app_list and Notification_Panel_Active_App_List_for_Reset, add it to all of these.
5. Add NetworkBooster; as seen in screenshot attached.
6. Go to Settings > Notification Panel > and press Reset
7. Reboot

TESTING DOWNLOAD BOOSTER
0. Make sure you are connected to WIFI and LTE (Does not work on regular 4G or lower)
1. Open the Play Store
2. Find the app called DCIkonZ (or any app over 30 mb)
3. Install app as normal. You should get a popup as seen in attached and see a toast saying Download Booster enabled...

If your phone won't boot, take it to your local Best Buy. The Samsung people have a reflash tool that can fix your phone. Not sure if you guys have a odin image or not just wanted to let you know.

I'm sorry guys. I hoped it would work.

No problem! Figured it can only be a soft brick easily fixed by flashing stock again. Better to re-set everything up and do a 15 second root than it is going about having to get a whole new phone:)

yea.. if his phone can get to boot screen good chance to save it usin odin.. this thread should b closed lol dunno y someone posted in our forum when we have a dif variant.. glad no hard bricks came of it

Same here, bud. Just debloating everything again. (At least the root works) :D

Might be a bit late.. but chances are ADB was still active. When I was trying out to remove the hotspot restriction manuaĺly, by uploading a recompiled framework-res.apk, it also got stuck at the verizon logo in the boot process but i was still able to use adb to replace the file with the original and when it finished copying the phone completely booted.

    idk if you know this but Verizon has released 5.0 lollipop and Verizon didn't take out the download booster so if you have 5.0 lollipop then you already have download booster, to get to it you goto settings then more networks then its at the very top you just in-able it and anything you download half will be downloaded from WiFi and the other half from data and it has its own special icon at the top when its enabled

    Nice I got it working with Xposed and X tether. Only problem now is how to get it to work? I turned it on in the setting, so I got that going and also I'm having trouble getting the quick tile showing in my drop down menu. Followed the all the instructions with sqlite, but dont have the same results.

    Go to phone Settings>Notification Panel and press the reset button. This made my new buttons appear for both WiFiHotspot and download booster.
