Introduction
Aug 06 Update: ROM is now pre-rooted using @ShinySide's kernel.

Note: Currently, none of the ROMs in this thread are rooted. Flash SuperSU will cause boot-time force-closes that I haven't yet solved. This happens if you try to flash SuperSU 2.46 or 2.49 (BETA), on any of the ROMs in this thread, or any stock image of G900TUVU1FOF6 provided by Samsung/SamMobile.

You must upgrade your firmware to be able to use these ROMs. To do this, you can download the ODIN flashable from downloads, unzip the file, and then flash the resulting .tar.md5 in ODIN under PDA. This will update your bootloader and Modem as well. If you don't have access to windows, you can use Heimdall. To use Heimdall for Galaxy S5, download the source code of Heimdall, and apply this patch. Once you have done this, you can run heimdall found in the 'build' or 'bin' directory of the source code after compilation. After upgrading your firmware, make sure to flash a custom recovery again, which can be done by downloading the .img.tar (if you plan on using ODIN -> PDA) or the .img (if you plan on using Heimdall -> with argument --RECOVERY twrp<version>.img) from TWRP.

Versions and Descriptions
COMPLETE: The full stock ROM, includes KNOX, no SystemUI patch. It is a simple flashable which includes metadata correction.
WITHRINGTONES: A heavily debloated ROM, but includes all of the default sounds, including bootsound, notification sounds, etc.
SLIM: A heavily debloated ROM, which simply removes most of the default sounds from the previous package.

*KNOX is removed, but Settings.apk was not patched to show this change.
*Settings may crash if an unsupported operation is run on the debloated versions such as:
Add New Ringtones
Face Recognition
etc...

Thanks for this. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Downloading the debloated with ringtones now.

Edit: for some reason the play store is telling me that Google+ is incompatible with my device.

WARNING

When you install this ROM you will have no APN settings (with ringtones version) and the phone will not allow to to add a APN.

DO not install until OP fixes this

is this rom deodexed?
No, it is Odexed. The SystemUI patch is for removing the quickconnect/sfinder bar.

Nice job. Will you post a patched Settings.apk later to replace? Most likely i would be doing things to crash often... :silly:
Patching the System.apk on an Odexed ROM would prove difficult, so I'll more likely add back some of the features, since they're not technically bloat.

Correct. Check the 'intro' section of the first post. It has instructions on how to update your device to the latest bootloader, modem, etc. Make sure to backup your user data first.

When you install this ROM you will have no APN settings (with ringtones version) and the phone will not allow to to add a APN.
Check Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. If you installed the latest bootloader and modem, you should be seeing fast.t-mobile.com added by default, and if you click the '+', you should be able to add more APNs. Please tell me if this didn't work for you. This ROM was extracted directly from the tar.md5 source, I removed no APNs or anything to do with CSC for that matter.
