CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

CM-12.0 Install Guide

Note: CM for Galaxy S5 LTE is provided with no warranty. You are installing this software at your own risk. You may be violating your warranty.

Download CM-12.0 and gapps-lp zips, kernel, TWRP 2.8.4.0 and other zip stuff and put in /sdcard

ROM: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=klte

gapps: http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

[*] Wipe data and cache.

[*] Flash cm-12*.zip.

[*] Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM-12.0 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.

[*] Reboot phone.

for now on CM12 nightly works best with Ktoonsez kernel http://goo.gl/LgBsuk

Upgrades

Upgrades from previous versions of CM-12.0 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to even wipe cache and dalvik-cache when upgrading between CM-12.0 versions. You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups or corrupt app data.
