Oh, that would be nice. Like I said, you could theme the ROM to look like the S5, which is Touchwiz. If not, you'd have to theme it yourself with Wanam Xposed. Hope you find what you're looking for.

You're going to want to factory reset inside of SS, then flash over the stock slot. Make sure you make a backup first!

I've been using dynamic kat and love it. 4.1 version should be coming out soon. I tried alliance a few weeks ago and went back to dynamic kat. Nothing against alliance. I just liked dynamic kat a bit more.

Can anyone tell me why you can't flash 4.4.2 ROMs in the rom slots if you are on official 4.4.2 nc2 on the stock slot? From a logical standpoint It would seem as though it shouldn't be a problem. When I rooted and was on 4.3 on the stock slot I was able to flash 4.3 ROMs in the rom slots and it worked fine (since I assume I was on 4.3 bootloader). I don't want to corrupt the official 4.4.2 nc2 stock slot or risk messing up the system if I can help it. That's what got me into this mess in the first place.

Hashcode is still working on the rom slots for safestrap kk. You can create a slot just dont mess with the default size and flash a kk rom in there but there's an issue on reboot. Someone also said location services might act funny.

True. Most ROMs I've tried work in the slots, but some of them won't turn off or reboot. (The S5 port seems to work fine, except for the original S5 password/pin problem in the lock screen.)) But services like Android Device Manager (location, ring, wipe), AndroidLost, Cebrerus, etc., can't contact the phone. And you can "mess with" the size. I run my slots with 2500/3100/500 to make sure I have enough app and cache space. Just be patient.

But you can run the ROMs in a slot to see what they look like, how they run (the S5 port is fast), you can set them up with more apps, a different launcher, etc., and run them into the ground. Then you can back up the one you like (or all of them) and flash it to the stock slot. Once Hashcode gets things sorted out and makes the slots work we'll have a real multi-boot, the way we had on 4.3. Just be patient. (I'd rather wait another month for a Safestrap that works than get one now and find bugs. And ANY software of this size, even if you're not dealing with the constraints imposed by Samsung, is going to have bugs until they're found and fixed. The last person to write large, bug-free code doesn't have living grandparents yet.)
