thanks for that, but I am sure many will find this work around not so easy,..but good to know there's a work around..
as @sapps posted Safestrap works with Lollipop by workaround with flashing kernels

this works without a PC and odin

Installing Latest NC2 Flasher works perfect to boot to safestrap recovery Latest update does not FC
(requires Root and busybox installed, you can download from playstore )

then after any add-on or mod you do in recovery, always install the
SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip to boot back to Lollipop

there's some kind of issue with S-Pen aircommand stuff, ...for example screens shots working for me, but when I select Pen Window, it does not brings it up Pen Window at all....something is not right...
I like to see others to try and report it back here...
Ah ok, I just was't sure if it was just my phone acting up, all the other S-Pen features are working for me.

you have to draw a square and window will pop up in that square
thanks carl, I was keep doing that...it is just like it insisting not bring up Pen Window...funny part is that after several mins later, it pops up by itself suddenly....it is like there's a big delay...
it is not like instant...I know because my friend has Note 4 and know how instant it is...
anyway, found a bit weird really...
anyway, today is my second day playing around with Lollipop 5.0, so we will see what other bugs I run into, if some stuff bugging me more, I will start over clean...:D

I realize that SS broke with the release of the previous kernel. But is it not possible to update compatibility on the newer kernels? Or was there an exploit in the NC2 kernel that allowed SS? Im a developer and am just curious.

ok as for me It pop''s up with no delay

also I installed Lolipop with my files
at the time of Walter.Whites great work here I could not download but slow, so it was faster for me to do my own OTA keep Root

you just need the NC2 kernel (which my app installs)

GPS works fine
I used the NC2 apk of yours, but when the phone restarts in doesn't show the safestrap screen just black, I'm wondering if it's just the t-mobile rom inflashed

correct NC2 safestrap's HiJack process to attach a recovery in userdata area is getting blocked, but luckly with our bootloader not getting updated we can install NC2 kernel and get to safestrap providing you do not wipe your internal sdcard and loose the hidden linux safestrap recovery stuff

on Lolipop I have nothing of safestrap app installed

system/etc/safestrap folder is empty, when you boot into safestrap recovery , Safestrap looks for the bin files and updates them before booting out recovery

pictures show nothing safestrap on my lollipop except system/etc/safestrap empty folder and nothing safestrap app related on internel sdcard . the bin files ddexe and e2fsck put there by safestrap recovery ( in my case they where already included in NL1 System TWRP backup mad by muniz_ri) and @muniz_ri
can clear up any confusion I may have cause her LOL
