This is a ROM that I put together because Verizon Galaxy S5 locked boot-loader phone has very little support, and we cant experience the stock Android Experience.
Any developer could customize this ROM and post their own version.
Whats included in this ROM:
-Google Apps instead of Samsung apps.
-Gravity Box
-Xposed
-Build.prop performance X tweaks
-Pixel Launcher
-Pixel Boot Animation
-Removed Verizon Bloatware
AOSP/Goodlock System UI - Customizable
Bugs:
Fingerprint to unlock- please disable fingerprint lock -++ if u want to use fingerprint install C locker pro and disable lockscreen++

Instructions:
Move to SD card, install - pretty much

to have system UI mods xposed; gravity box is recommended

Unlocked Phones.
Remove boot.img in the Flashable zip. and place any other kernel

The title says "Unlock/Locked Bootloader"—is this to say I could flash this on my unlocked bootloader G900V without any trouble? I'd like to test ride this for a friend whose S5 whose bootloader may not be unlockable.

any way to root or install magisk in this rom_??
Depends. If you're using a bootloader locked S5, then no. If you have the unlockable bootloader S5, then yes.

Edit: Apologies, it just occurred to me that this only applies if the ROM doesn't mess with the bootloader status, which it very well might, given @zihar's troubles.

As in flashing a Magisk-vXX.X.zip in TWRP, correct?
Correct.

i have unlocked bootloader... but after flashing magisk the rom stuck at samsung Galaxy s5 logo but no past to the second splash and have the boot led on (blue blinking)....
Now that's strange. My first thought would be maybe a corrupted Magisk .zip? Try flashing the Magisk uninstaller, see if it boots normally, then try again with a fresh downloaded .zip.

On the other hand, since the OP hasn't answered my question yet, it could be that the ROM re-locked your bootloader. Flashing Magisk in that case, which messes with the boot.img, would definitely mess with your system. In that case, I would hope flashing the uninstaller would solve the problem. I think you'll have to go through the process of unlocking the bootloader all over again too.

I''ve got the emmc 15. I got magisk 17.1 to 'work'.

This is what I've tried; after flashing the rom extract the boot.img from the aosp-touchwiz zip, install magisk manager and patch the boot.img, reboot to twrp and install, install image and select the patched_boot.img, swipe and pray. Had mine lock up at boot, flashed magisk uninstaller, installed the image again and it worked. Although, magisk states it's in core mode only, I tried to have it do its thing to run normally by unchecking the box but it wound up locking up the rom, so rinse and repeat. So, it's root but not through and through? Because I can't seem to move an app to system/priv-app when I do it fails to find the package, I've tried root explorer, es file manager, link2sd, lucky patcher, and TWRP (mounting system); either locks the rom, kills the app, or somehow removes root entirely.

I just want a rom with magisksu and that won't throw a fit when I move an app to system.

Personally I've only gone through the process of unlocking the bootloader once on my emmc 15, TWRP is also installed as recovery.

My emmc 11 on the other hand is touchy and if you're not careful it'll lock up and you'll have to start over. The emmc 11 (locked bootloader) is touchy in general when dinking around with root/safestrap but the guides here are thorough, a bit more than the emmc 15 threads it seems.

Does installing a ROM like this one, in which bloatware was removed, result in more useable space from the phone's internal storage? Specifically, does it result in more storage for installing apps?
