This thread is only for the AT&T branded (SM-G900A) device.

If this is not your device, you need to go to the corresponding forum/thread. I realize there are many similarities amongst the G900 variants, but the instructions I provide- as well as the help I can give, are limited to the AT&T (SM-G900A) variant only. Even then the help I can provide is still limited.

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible if you brick, break, or blow up your phone. You assume all and any responsibility for ALL actions you commit to your phone.

1) Xposed Framework
2) WanamXposed
3) Gravity Box
---I advise caution with this, as some of the features are built into the GS5 rom.
4) Greenify
5) X Tether
6) G-TouchWiz

Will post more later!

Notes :
*See the second page on how to activate the built-in wifi tether with Wanam Xposed and X Tether.

*See the second page to help reduce performance issues.

@profcx has pointed out that the "Download Booster Mod" is currently incompatible with the X Tether for Xposed.

Downloaded X Tether from Xposed Framework , then go to wanam and click on system and enable "skip provisioning check" and rebooted. It alows me to turn on tethering and mobile Hotspot.

How to Remove Battery and USB Cover warnings

There has been some complaint about these warnings, so here goes:

1a) Download Xposed
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

1b) Install it.

1c) Open it up, tap on "Framework," then tap"OK" on the pop up. Then tap "Install/Update"

2) Reboot.

3a) Re Open Xposed, tap "Download, " and search for "G-Touchwiz."

Or go here

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.gertlily.xposed.touchwiz

3b) Install it. Swipe from left to right and it will show the download options.

3c) Go to the main menu of Xposed, check the box for "G-TouchWiz" then reboot.

4) Find the "G-TouchWiz" app and open it.

5a) Under the "POPUPS" section there is:
"Disable battery cover popup on/off"
"Disable USB Cover popup on/off"

5b) Turn them off. (cryptic, huh?)

5c) Reboot.

Finished. You will notice that they did not annoy you... this time.

My G900A with the Xposed Framework, X Tether, Wanam Kit and Wanam Xposed installed, does not have "skip provisioning check" listed on either of the Wanam modules. Thoughts?

Open wanamxposed then go to System. Then check "Disable Tethering Provisioning"

If you don't have this, tell me what version of wanam you have.

What is Xposed Framework?

As far as Xposed/Wanam, these apps allow you to modify visual and technical elements of your phone's rom. These changes are temporary and can be reversed.

The Xposed Framework is intended to bring functions of a custom rom INTO a stock rom. One could say it is an alternative for phones in which the bootloader remains locked.

For more info/tech details of Xposed:

FAQ
http://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-faq-issues-t2735540

There are tons of modules, however only a few of them work with the S5 currently. You are free to explore, but use caution and common sense. If it's for an HTC, then don't use it.

This thread was meant to discuss which ones do work.

How to Force Native WiFi Tether Galaxy S5 (Root)

Decided to edit this post to make more sense.

Follow the steps below to enable the built in wifi tether feature:

1a) If you haven't already, download the Xposed Framework app.

Xposed Framework Installer

1b) Open the app, tap "Framework," then tap "OK." Now tap "Install/Update."

2) Reboot

3a) Open Xposed, then tap "Downloads," then search for Wanam Xposed and X Tether. Alternatively you can go to:

Wanam Xposed Module (Repo)

X Tether Module (Repo)

3b) Once downloaded and installed, open the Xposed app. Tap "Modules." Now check the box next to each module.

4) Reboot. Again.

5) Open Wanam Xposed and tap "System." Then check "Disable Tether Provisioning."

6) Again, reboot.

Your native wifi should now function.

As mentioned:

Download Wanam Xposed.
Download Xposed Tether.
Activate these two modules, reboot.
Open Wanam, go to "System," Then check "Disable Tether Provisioning. "
Reboot.

If this does not work:
Carefully deactivate these settings AND modules.
Uninstall the modules, and Wanam, and Xposed.
Unroot.
Reboot.
Update to 2AND3 firmware (Just check for updates.)
Re Root.
Install Xposed, Wanam, and the module listed above.
Perform steps listed above.

Well I Uninstalled everything, rebooted, unrooted, reboot into recovery mode wipe cache, reboot tried to install OTA and after it downloaded during the reboot it said update fail. I tried 3 different times with no success. Also before doing all that I reebabled all apps that I previously disabled.

Did you follow the instructions for downgrade/unbrick fix at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785185

Please note that the original instructions have been changed. Read through the entire thread and follow the instructions to fix this. Users have reported that they are able to update once again to the G900AUCU2AND3 firmware once complete. For more questions regarding this, please post in that thread.

I think it's easy to make this mistake but make sure you download WanamXposed and not Wanam Kit, which I think is close to the top which is why I selected it. It seemed to work for me but I started having problems and I realized it was made for aosp ROMs. Just putting it out there.

Performance Issues with Xposed (Solved)

Download and open up your favorite build.prop editor. Or just use a text capable app like ES File Explorer or Rom Toolbox.

1) Navigate to /system/build.prop

2) Go to the line"ro.storagesecure.support"

3) Change the value to "false"

4) Reboot.

Everything should be fine after that.

Can you please clarify exactly what this "ro.storagesecure.support=false" is supposed to fix? Are you saying this will fix the performance issue mentioned in post 18 or will this fix native tether in some cases?

    Just a heads up guys - the Xposed tethering mod is incompatible with the 'download booster' mod from here:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785410

    It's one or the other for now.

    Later.
