Stock Verizon 5.0 Lollipop Rom Deodexed PreRooted

Instructions:
BE PATIENT!!! The Rom Will Take 10 Min Or More To Boot The First Time! And Even Longer If You Do A Dalvik Or Cache Wipe Once Rom Is Installed!!!
1. put rom on internal or external sd card
2. reboot to safetrap
3. do full wipe/data/system/cache
4. flash rom
5. reboot to download mode from safestrap
6. flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5 Make sure it is the retail firmware and not just the kernel
7. Safestrap will no longer work unless you use odin and flash NI2_STOCK_KERNEL_FOR_SAFESTRAP.tar.md5 or any VZW KITKAT kernel. Then you can enter Safestrap. Once you flash file or whatever you need to do in safestrap remember to boot to download mode from safestrap and then use odin to flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 or the VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5. Then you will be good to go. This process must be done every time you need to use SafeStrap!

DOWNLOAD ROM
AFH_MIRROR

Known Bugs
My Verizon will have to be downloaded from playstore and will have to manually log in.
International Setup Wizard is Used because Verizon Setup Wizard Fails Activation. If you dont have data goto Settings/More networks/Mobile networks. Select access points then select verizon apn and reboot.

Awesome, I had troubles when I deodexed my SystemUI, so now I'll be able to start modding it to make up for the lack of Xposed Framework on Lollipop.

I only ask this here since there is a momentary concentration of modders present. Is the capability to add a switchable "dark ui" feature like in Carbon possible in Touchwiz Roms or is that only in AOSP??

What will the build number/name show in about phone. Followed the steps...flashed rom, went into download, flashed retail firmware via odin.

Retained root and all but is this just straight stock...with all bloat ware still there?

That is what the OP states. Give it a few days, these guys are really fast at getting the debloat zips tightened up. Lolipop is a new animal so prolly gotta start from scratch on some parts.

Right on... That's what I figured. Running great for me with no rotation problems or fc's.

Can I just flash straight from Optimal?
or maybe the better question is what should I be on (I am on NI2,) before following the instructions you posted.
