So I'm trying to figure out the options. Am I suppose to extract it, edit it and put it back in the rom zip and then flash?
Yeah man, I too would like to get some more detailed info about the option.prop deal!?
I can extract option file from ROM zip, edit with text editor on phone, or I can do it on my laptop correct? Once I've edited said file, what then? OP says put it on root of internal or extSD, which is what I did. Was just wondering if I have to extract, edit file then re-zip & re-flash? Even then, how do I access the other included mods?
I just wanna be clear on it.... I like to get Sh!t right the first time, ya know!?!?
Thanks all.....

Extract the prop only, rezip the ROM, edit the option.prop as you'd like and place on internal or external SD card. If you have 7Zip, you can view the zip and pull the option.prop file from the zip to where you don't have to unzip/rezip. Hope this helps you.

Do I have to re-flash or just reboot? How do I access/activate other options or are they all just activated now? How can I check options?
Sorry dude...

You edit the option.prop before you flash the ROM and place on SD card (IN/EX). Then flash the ROM. So if you're already on this ROM and weren't able to edit the option.prop, then you'll have to reflash the ROM. Just be sure that the option.prop is on your IN/EX SD.

I tried adding xposed to this ROM after editing the props file to be deodexed and I ended up in a bootloop. Tried flashing KitKat kernal but it just bootloops still. like the lollipop safestrap file I used to install didn't stick. Guess i need to start over. I like the options prop file, neat way to do mods during flash.

I'd suggest flashing this in Odin to get back to stock PB1. Then re-root using NEW method, it's real easy. Worked for me.

Cool, thanks for the clarification.
So I could dirty it over the ROM which I already have installed(thanks JKruse, good stuff)!?
Or maybe just backup data in SS then flash that?

I'm coming from your debloated B0G5, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

Download VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V8.zip, extract options.prop to root external SD, make options selected.
Reboot into safestrap
I want a clean install so, erase everything except external SD

Flash:
VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V8.zip
Extra_toggles.zip
Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zip
BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip

Reboot and I'm good? If I ever need to enter safestrap again I can use your SafeStrap reboot program, and then flash G900V_PB1_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip to get me back into android like I currently do correct?

Well it appears I wasnt supposed to format data inside of safestrap because it looks like I lost everything? I've done it in the past from the recovery console and quickly realized I had wiped out safestrap, but I figured doing the format from within safestrap it would protect itself??

Format data > forced reboot, and now boot loop at Galaxy S5 logo.

Sigh, I'm assuming I must ODIN back to NCG and start over again? Is there anything I can flash in the recovery console to get me back into safestrap?

I'm assuming I was on an old version of safestrap that still had it. I definitely did not have your new safestrap 5.0 running! It's been a while since I've done any updates (I was on B0G5). Things were beginning to run sluggish so I figured to clean house and update to the latest.

Is there anything I can flash in the recovery console to get me back into safestrap?
