No, it is simply the best way to verify a file. The reason they are more prevalent now is because the file size of ROMs is getting enormous (S5 TW ROMs are well over a GB). Back with the HTC Hero, Gingerbread ROMs were 100-200 MBs and the possibility for a bad download was far less. And the md5sum not matching could cause ANY problem, it means you don't have the same file I uploaded, any possible file could be missing or corrupted.
I wouldn't recommend it, but make sure you have a fresh backup before flashing.
Awesome! that makes sense. Thanks. I guess I'll give the MD5 a little more thought from now on.No, it is simply the best way to verify a file.

Yeah, not a scratch, I'm lucky to have walked away from that... family and neighbors are helping me out with rides for now.
No doubt. Did you see the battery life screenshot I posted? Battery life is amazing on this ROM 4 sure.I must say battery life is really amazing on this rom. I charged my phone to 100% while i was sleeping and i had it at 100% for about 4 hours, when all of a sudden my big bro (that has the Verizon S3) took my fully charged battery and gave me his battery that was at 0% which pissed me the hell off, he left before i could do anything to him >.<......After i left this 0% battery to charge to about 7% i had to go some where and i don't like walking without music; so i unplugged my phone, turned my music on and i left my house for about 1 hour. When i got back i looked at my phone and it had 2% left so.....i love this rom lol
When flashing between TouchWiz and lollipop, be sure to format your internal SD when you do your normal wipes
Thanks @bilgerryan all backed up and downloaded. Will flash tomorrow...
If you're still getting lag, try switching "Gentle Fair Sleepers" to Disabled.
Will do so, you're an awesome person. My last question is, why is there no copy function in the gmail app? Is it just me? Highlighting a text yields a select all, cut, paste and a search option but I don't see how I can copy the text. This is a minute issue though I'm just glad I got the lag issue figured out!!!If you're still getting lag, try switching "Gentle Fair Sleepers" to Disabled.

Hmmm. I thought it was limited to the S5 Email app... I must be missing a lib or apk somewhere, wonder why it's limited to email though. I can copy and paste in Messaging... long story short, I'm still trying to figure it out.
It was happening to me also. I ended up using the email apk from Tribute to get copy/paste working for me.
Ok, so it's a problem within the Email app, that sure makes things easier. I'll make a flashable of the stock email app and see if I can find an S5 Email apk that works (if anybody knows of one, please PM me the link)
