[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Lightn1ng:
Welcome to Plasma ROM!

The most frequently updated ROM for this phone!

Note: It is HIGHLY recommended to, after installing this ROM (or any ROM) to use a Battery Calibration app! This almost doubled my battery life, and will likely do the same for you!

Features:

- Based off the newest OC4 firmware for Verizon Wireless

- Debloated

- One of the few ROMs with working SHealth!

- Easy install

- Cool boot animation

- Dark themed using @AL_IRAQI's layers themes

- Android 5.0 Lollipop

- Working SBrowser - much faster than Chrome (and uses less battery power)

- Download booster working out of the box

- Updates every weekend!

- Battery life seems to be amazing

- UPSM works flawlessly

Install instructions:

Prerequisites:

Must have SafeStrap installed

Must have a windows computer on hand with Odin

Must have an external SD card (SafeStrap also requires this)

Must have about 20-30 minutes

1) Download the ROM.

2) Boot into SafeStrap, click "Wipe," click "Advanced Wipe," then select all the boxes except for your external SD card!!!!

3) Click "Install" and select the ROM. Install it. Do not flash the UPDATE-SuperSU.zip! The ROM already has root!

4) Once the ROM is installed, reboot into Download mode.

5) Use Odin to flash the OC4 firmware only tar (link in the Downloads section)

6) Reboot and enjoy!

Please note that the first boot will take anywhere from 5-20 minutes, so be patient!

Known bugs:

- Settings app is slightly laggy. It's still perfectly usable though. I need to zipalign that APK in the next update.

Credits:

- Thanks to jrkruse, I used his OC4 ROM as a base. I also used his themes Settings and Messages apps.

- Thanks to AL_IRAQI, I used his layers themes. (This is the themed notification dropdown and keyboard.)

- Thanks to elliwigy, for answering many questions and for a list of debloatable things.

- Thanks to geohot for root, ChainFire for SuperSU (and FlashFire), and Hashcode for SafeStrap. Without these 3 people, none of these ROMs would be possible.

I would also like to give a HUGE shoutout to Verizon, for locking the bootloaders and doing everything in their power to prevent any of this good stuff from happening.
