[ROM][G900H][Lollipop Deodexed]Zephyr Lite v9,Rooted,Knox Free,Debloated,BOG6 - Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Exynos)

Simple, Stable, Smooth...
I am not a developer, I have learnt (and am still learning) many things from the immensely talented developers on this Forum.
This Rom has been created with the thought that there are many people who wish to continue with Samsung Stock Rom to give them a hassle-free use of their Smartphone, yet they need their Rom to be bloatfree, efficient and Smooth.
This ROM is rooted and deodexed for my daily use. Will try to keep the version updated as and when a new stock firmware (with higher/better changelog) is released for the Galaxy S5 (G900H) version.
Please do not expect me to customise this ROM any more than what it is. As I said I am not a Developer. Thanks for Understanding.
Only for G900H (Exonys Variant)

BOOTLOADER/MODEM Package
Already included in the rom folder
Install Instructions:
" Source/credits: @edgarf28 "
For the latest version, would suggest you flash rom first(if you are already on Lollipop) via recovery. Flash Bootloader and Modem via odin after flashing the rom.
This procedure can be done anytime and it won't wipe anything from your device! Your current ROM, Kernel & Recovery will remain the same after you flash this.
Do exactly as mentioned:
- Make sure you have downloaded the correct packages
- Switch off your phone completely (This is IMPORTANT)
- Wait for 30 seconds
- Start your Phone in download mode: Press Vol down + Home + Power buttons till the screen turns on, press Vol Up to continue (Only enter download mode on this way, otherwise it won't work!!)
- Connect your phone to your computer
- Open Odin 3.09 on your PC (Older versions won't work correctly!)
- Click on the 'BL' button, and load in your BOOTLOADER tar.md5 file
- Click on the 'CP' button, and load in your MODEM tar.md5 file
- DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE (you can brick your phone if you choose other settings in Odin)
- Click on the Start button
- Wait till it finish flashing.
- Your phone reboots automatically after flashing.
- Always check after flashing: Settings -> About device -> Baseband; that should show you the same modem build number noted as here.
And also check if the bootloader got flashed correctly by downloading an AndroidTerminal app, and enter this command: getprop ro.boot.bootloader
NOTE: Sometimes the modem/baseband needs to be flashed 2 or even 3 times till it will get flashed correctly.

I have not faced any root issue on the Selinux enforced mode. Device with knox security do face problem changing to Permissive. Am not qualified to try it too.
I was also using the rom you mentioned and he has done a wonderful job. Edgar's rom is bare bones with add on package. I feel the basic features that Samsung has given should be there and hence have removed only the absolute unnecessary files. Try it and let me know your views. No offence taken at all[emoji6]

Thanks. Knox has been removed while cooking the Rom itself (using Archikitchen).
No bootloader has not been downgraded. As of now once you trip knox it cannot be reset.

Are you coming from NG3 to flash this rom. If not, please flash the Ng3 bootloader first using ODIN and then flash the zip (will add a note in OP). I have tested the installation process many times before uploading. Had no issues.

Have not done any tweaking for battery but will definitely have better battery than stock I guess (let me know). Have only added the ad block feature. Cannot add features like alliance and Omega due to limited knowledge and also lack of time from work and personal life. You are free to use this as a base (credit will be appreciated) and take it to next level. I am offering my services as a tester. [emoji4]
