I've shared these tweaks in a couple other threads. Enough people seemed interested, that I decided to share them here.

S5 Apps
All of these apps are confirmed working.

I have came across this thread. But, I have not checked to see how reliable these apps are.

EDIT 4/26/14: @Southern_mind has found a thread with a stock rom for the VZW S5. Be sure to test the apps found in here and let us know what works for you!!!

EDIT 4/26/14: @Misterxtc has posted the working files for MMS

EDIT 4/25/14: I found boot and shutdown animations for the S5 that can be flashed through Safestrap here.

S5 Settings
I just used the app that was included in this zip and replaced the system app using Root Explorer. It works okay, but I would like to see this done to the settings app for our model. If anybody can do this mod, please share.

S5 Toggles and Recent Apps
Xposed - Very easy install, great if your already using Xposed. Plus this gives you a few more options.

Build Prop Edits - Very easy

Framework
This has been done on other variants, yet still has a few bugs. I'm not sure if they would work on our device as I am not willing to try it currently. But if somebody would like to try it, or mod them for our device, please share.
EDIT 4/25/14: I have flashed framework. It looks great. However, I had issues with incoming calls afterwards. DO NOT flash SystemUI. I have tested it, it is not compatible with our model.

Download Booster
I can not find any threads that convince me that it has successfully been ported. The settings mod allows you to turn the feature on, but it does't actually work. The only thing I've seen that works similar to this, is in this thread.

S5 Launchers
@jolly_roger_hook has some modded S5 launchers that will work great with everything else. Check out his thread.
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2731391

Other Mods
I am currently looking for mods that may work, or could be ported over, to give us even more S5 features. Let us know if you find the particle lockscreen, ultra power saving mode, fonts, or download booster. If you can think of other mods that we should look for, or can already use, let us know.

Thanks
Thanks for the following people that have contributed or have been active in the testing of these mods. Make sure that you stop by their threads or posts and at least press the thanks button if they helped you out. They don't have to share their work, but they do so everybody can have a better experience. @Southern_mind @jolly_roger_hook @popkurn611 @Misterxtc
Anybody else I may have missed

Also thanks to BeansTown106, ChainFire, SexTape, Hashcode, Sparky_b, and anybody else I may have missed for helping to make this possible.

None of this is my original work. I just wanted to share what I have found. If your phone gets bricked, catches on fire, divorces you, etc..., its not my fault. Tinker at your own risk.

Here is a thread with a S5 system dump that you may find apps which work.

I wanted to just flash just framework, do I do that just as a flash through SS? I did the xposed mod for the toggles and recent apps so what is the systemui.apk in the same thread as the framework that makes you edit the build prop?

I found the Framework zip on the 9th page. The system UI I have not tried. Not sure what it adds or changes.

I flashed it and nothing changed! My settings still look the same

Settings is in a different thread (Link is in the OP). The framework changes things like how the volume and reboot menu look. See the third screenshot.

No problem at all. Clarification is always nice.

Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

It def is and thanks for that clarification! As far as the settings you said they were just ok? Even the xposed mod for the toggles aren't exact to the stock s5 ones

Its just nice to get a fuller effect with the settings. I prefer the toggles this way because everything works. The S Finder button and a couple of other things dont work with the mods include that.

It seems that SystemUI may be needed to get Ultra Power Saving Mode to work.
