Any Tweaks recommended for performance? I have decided I want to stay stock, Gonna Odin back to stock and root again. Any Tweaks to tune it a little? I`m prob gonna install Xposed and a few S5 apps, but any speed improvement tweaks that might be good?

Thanks :) I`m not a noob, but I do know this post seems like one :p

Delete bloatware from /system (there are several threads on that) and install Apex launcher for a custom look.

If you're rooting, then first thing I would do is flash a custom kernel. I would recommend either Compulsion or ColonelX. After that, install Xposed and the GravityBox and Wanam modules. I've tweaked more things than I can possibly remember, but those would definitely be my starting points....

If you're worried about losing out on features by going with a custom ROM, there are plenty of ROMs out there that are fast and light, but let you keep all of the Touchwiz features. Hyperdrive for example.

Yeah, but i've found it to be very stable, which is more important in my opinion. I was stock for a while, which is unusual because I normally root and go custom immediately. But once I saw I could keep all the Touchwiz features I liked, plus get a faster ROM, it was a no brainer (which would make me sad if I were a zombie).
