thanks for letting me know, yeah I faced the same problem, it is fixed by adding Samsung Keyboard as default in V 1.1 (it is a Samsung dependancy).
yes, the new and improved version 1.1 is out. check it out
Looks like Mega is having some issues, I am currently getting an error message when attempting to download.
can you please specify the error msg?
I logged out and tried downloading, worked fine.
I have just tried and it's fine. You need a mega app for download mega links.

Expect within 24 hours
Sadly lillipop build by Samsung still has a huge load of bugs, Chrome crashes contentiously.... so I will be sticking to KitKat releases. ANK7 will be out today

Hi Guys

I'm happy to say Version 2.0 is released with lots of fixes and optimizations.

41Development Temporarily Discontinued
I'm sad to say that I will be discontinuing the development of JoelDroid S5.
The main reason is, that I have become bit more preoccupied with my personal life and priorities.
The second reason is that I have switched back to Kitkat (XXU1ANJ1), just couldn't stand the Lollipop colors and white background and the lack of Xposed framework. Since I wont be updating my device back to Lollipop there is no point me just putting up releases without testing.
but mainly I have more personal commitments and less time to develop these.
I had a wonderful time here in this thread, and thanks for all the feedback and kind words.
[UPDATE] I will be back when Stock 5.1.1 is available for Galaxy S5
Cheers
Joel.

Install Instructions
- Your phone needs to be rooted and should have a custom recovery
- As far as recoveries go, I highly recommend TWRP use the following link to get the latest TWRP for S5 and use it with the above method.
- Take a Nandroid backup, better be safe than sorry.
- Take an EFS Backup using wanam's EFS Backup App
- Copy your EFS backup for safe keeping.
- Copy ROM to sd-card and boot to recovery and flash, after flashing DO NOT reboot, but power off.
- Press vol down + home + power and reboot into download mode and install the provided bootloader and modem, flashing the modem is optional but your current modem has to be a lollipop modem or else you wont get a signal. But flashing the given bootloader IS A MUST, without the necessary bootloader the ROM will not boot, see post #4 for detailed Odin flash instructions.

So sorry guys,
I have been busy lately.
As for the kitkat I will not be releasing a ROM, as it takes too much time and at the moment I do not have any spare time.
But I will be releasing active builds when Samsung brings out Android 5.1 for Galaxy S5.
I'm temporarily on CyanogenMod 12.1.
Till that I'm definitely not using Samsung Stock 5.0 firmware...
So I will be back, FOR SURE...
