3. Install i9505 - S5 RivalStorm V2.zip in your recovery

5. Install Xposed Framework & reboot
6. Activate Modules & reboot
7. Finished. You can now customize the ROM with the Xposed Modules as you like. Also you can deactivate many S5 apps, which you don't need.

Hello Great work.But why you put in this Rom this ugly launcher?Widget looking so weird?Why you not keeping stock why yoou changed DPI?

Widgets look perfect for me.


You just need to pick the right ones ;) There is always a downside,

4x4 Homescreen -> no space, widgets always okay
5x5 Homescreen -> space, but widgets do not always fit in

But you are right, I will soon provide a .zip flash for everyone who wants 4x4.

No i was asking because on GNE5 fc's
I just tried, yeah I get an FC. Thanks for asking.

I flashed the Rom fine but boot looped when I tried flashing the additions. Flashed Rom rebooted, did the first sign ins and then rebooted to flash extras. Anyone else?

    Framework issue resolved! Uploading right now.
    I'll first post it here and please test & report back.

    When there are no complains, I'll add it to OP. Didn't have so much time to test it, but UPSM, Phone & Contacts, Music Player, Lockscreen, Gallery are working, so I am very positive that V1.1 is working fine.
