Some guidance/help pls....
Sorry to ask , but am unable to fix a couple of issues on me own...
First, NO matter what app being used, my camera does not seem to work. (Apps do, but no picture of any kind)... (Apps that i have tried, are the Better Face and the Camera app from this ROM; A Better Camera; Barcode Scanner; Amazon price match.) Honestly Don't take many pictures, however, I use the Barcode scanner a lot.....
Second Issue is lag. Yepp no joke. Not 100% of the time, but, I do have some lag and it hurts. (e.g. after pressing the home button to wake the phone, it CAN take well over 10 seconds, BEFORE the Lock screen shows up!!)
( Needed/Helpful information ......... Phone was wiped clean 100% (came from Tribute to Wicked S5) Prior to flashing this Rom. Made sure everything is working prior to adding any of the features (ONLY those listed on post 2 I believe; such as themes, lockscreens etc. ...(just a few to try out)). One thing that i have read about.. On some systems Xposed can cause a little lag! (Stating this, only to due the fact I use several different Modules.(Personally LOVE Xposed, really helps you get that one needed script)) Not 100% sure that is the issue.
OH, I do have most of my "Downloaded Apps" on my 2nd Partition (e.g. Titanium BackUP) Do have a fast class 10 card with "Read ahead" set at 5120mb (just trying to help the system have access to card info).... .
Do not get me wrong here. I actually love this rom. Sure makes me love my S3, knowing a friend has the S5!!! I laugh, knowing he paid a crap load for the "NEWEST" phone last year. Wonderful Rom other than the 2 stated issues...

You might have a bad download. Download ROM again check md5 checksum. Wipe and reflash.
Try the settings below in KTweaker, 5120mb is too much of a read ahead IMO (do you really need it to read ahead 5 GB?) and is probably what is causing your lag. As for the camera, I don't know (you could try Google Camera, but I'm guessing you had a bad download since no app is working)... Only thing I can recommend for that is another clean flash and checking the md5sum to ensure you had a good download.

Have checked some of the settings that I DID change in Ktweaker, comparing them you your specs just stated. Other than the external read ahead (mine being set at 5120mb) . I did NOT Enable Overclock. CPU min/max Mine was set @ 81/1674 (which I now see is actually OC'ed anyway. Just like what you have, and the settings at set up my Gov and Sched are "stock" (meaning Adaptive/Fiops. I DID NOT change anything else (e.g. Voltage, GPU. scheduler settings etc.) kept them "stock". Can not recall the stock setting for Boot, had mine set on boot @ Immediately. dont understand what a delay would help with, considering many Xposed modules.
Again, I Thank you for putting all this together, as well as, as quick reply.

You could also try bumping it up to 1728 max, my CPU doesn't handle it well but yours might. Every phone is different. I also use Xposed Boot Manager to limit what apps start at boot, I recommend everyone use this. A lot of games want boot permission (I don't know why they need it), but if an app doesn't need to be running all the time (don't take away your keyboard's boot permissions for example) then take away the permissions. And definitely take away Facebook's, that data hog can definitely be causing lag even on high end phones.

Heck even 1809 max with OC steps are good with my T model I think that's what I have right now let me checkYou could also try bumping it up to 1728 max, my CPU doesn't handle it well but yours might.

It's uploading, I am 99% sure you have to be using the S5 Launcher, I have not tested on any launcher but the one from this ROM.
