eLLi Kat 1.0​

This is my first ROM EVER. I am going to be updating this ROM frequently over time as I see fit. If you have requests please post in a comment below!​

Shout Outs:

Geohot (For working on rooting our device and EVERY device he can with www.towelroot.com)
Hashcode0f (For making SafeStrap compatible with our phone and making flashing .zip's possible!)
BeansTown106 (For his Base Build/Mods.)
Misterxtc (For taking the time to read my multiple PM's and helping me learn how to compile a flashable ROM!)
Google/Samsung (For making an amazing device/OS for us to play with.)
Creators of Archikitchen here on XDA (For providing the tools necessary to ROM.)
Everyone else who has contributed that I did not mention.

This ROM is based on BeansTown106 Odex Base. (It was DeOdexed using ArchiKitchen.)​

ROM:

Android 4.4.2 (NCG Base)
DeoDexed
Zipaligned
Busybox
Rooted
Knox Free
Native Hotspot
Removed Verizon OTA Updater
DeBloated (Everything intact to make everything functional minus crap not needed.)
Read/Write to external storage (Should be working, let me know if it doesn't.)
Art should work (I do not use it.)
Private Mode does NOT work (ROM is DeOdexed.)



Features:

Android L Keyboard (Must enable in Language & Input Settings, Also, go to advanced settings and change color/theme to Material)
Android L Alarm Sounds
Android L Ringtones
Android L Notification Sounds
Android L Bootanimation (Removed Boot Sound)
Android L 5.0 Launcher (Touchwiz Launcher Removed)
8SMS Added (enable as default for AOSP style messaging)
Removed all Verizon Bloatware

Here is the Android L Bootanimation with the ROM:

Some applications such as Play Movies, Play Music, and My Files have not been removed yet so you can debloat it even more. SHealth among other features were left in ROM due to seeing people request for things to be left on. ​

Instructions:

I am NOT responsible for your device and if you do not flash properly or something goes wrong. This ROM has been tested on my own Retail S5 and has flashed just fine with no issues. ​

1: Download ROM and put on External SD card (or internal if it works for you)
2: Also Download SuperSU from HERE and put in same place you have the ROM zip
3: Reboot into SafeStrap Recovery and select ROM slot you want to install it on (Most likely on ROM slot 1)
4: Once in desired ROM slot, go to Wipe, and swipe to wipe (default wipe settings in SS should be good enough)
5: Go to main SS screen and press Install (Then navigate to the ROM zip and flash it, then flash SuperSU zip immediately after)
6: On first boot, you might get a Setup Wizard FC (Just press OK and don't worry about it as it will only appear once)

Well looking! But to prevent people from asking dull questions such as "can I flash this on my 900f/i/p/t" probably you should change a bit the name of the tread so to be clear that the rom is for 900V?! That's my opinion .

I am curious about something - based on that last post, if in fact this rom is only flashable on Verizon S5s, why post it in the international thread where yit would be natural for people to think they could flash it - ?

A better question might be is - is this flashable in a traditional recovery like TWRP or CWM or must it be flashed in Safestrap?

I don't know that much about Safestrap but can you have Safestrap and a more traditional custom recovery on the same phone?

Doesn't safe strap also use the Internal SD card? If that is so, because Internal is limited on most of the current S5's - are there space restrictions when flashing? (just curious...I really don't know)

I think it would be helpful if there was more information about what phones were compatible and what recoveries would and would not work for this rom...

just my thoughts...I am glad that you are able to flash on Verzon and other phones iwth Locked Bootloaders now - and congratulations on your first rom!

it is flashable through twrp or cwm and safestrap is based on twrp just have to make sure youre on a kernel compatible with the rom.. and to my knowledge this is a unified sgs5 thread which means all s5 variants can b posted.. if i am wrong mod can delete my threads in here since i also have em posted in the verizon thread.. ppl on vzw s5 thread have been succesful in flashing roms from here on the vzw s5.. only thing is some network functions dont work like lte etc. but it did not break the phone.. i didnt know this was strictly an international thread

Please don't take my comments wrong - I really didn't know one way or the other - (my experience with Safestap on my Note 3 had been that if it was a Safestrap rom - you had to have Safestrap installed to flash it - I guess that changed - so thank you for the update - it is helpful.

I wasn't meaning to question your posting the rom in the international thread - my question was really based on whether you had to have safestrap to use it - which you said is not necessary - so I guess it doesn't matter. Hope you didn't take my comments wrong...

I may be wrong, But I am pretty sure this thread is really meant for the International S5 - Tmobile - Att - Verizon each has their own thread. As luck has it, the International and Tmobile phones are similar enough that International and TMOBILE ROMS are essentially the same (Except International doesn't have wifi calling - but considering you cant use your ROM on International or TMOBILE - seems to me that it is kind of inappropriate to have a thread here - I mean, what's the point? If we can't flash the rom why even post it here - when you have made a version that is compatible for 900F or TMOBILE - then maybe it is more appropriate.

I am not telling you what to do - only suggesting that you might consider that - it really doesn't matter to me one way or the other - just thought I would ask you to consider how difficult it will be to support a rom for phones that cannot even use it ?

just a thought

i know what youre saying but i was under the impression that this was the unified sgs 5 thread.. every version of the s5 has its own thread and this is a general s5 development thread.. to say you can post tmobile and att roms here but not verizon makes no sense.. im sure it will flash but whether or not data or messages etc will work without some modifications i do not know.. regardless, like i said, if a mod feels this shouldnt be here they are welcome to delete it from this thread. you are also welcome to pm a mod if u feel that strongly about it as well.. people with the vzw retail s5 shouldnt be coming to this thread if what you are saying is accurate.. i guess posting a rom made for a variant of the s5 shouldnt be posted in the unified s5 thread? either way like i said, ive posted my roms in the vzw s5 thread so these can b deleted if necessary... also, if you go on a pc and search for verizon galaxy s 5 you will see this dev thread right underneath the verizon dev thread.. so y put this thread on the vzw forum if it wasnt meant to be posted here?
