This thread is only for the AT&T branded (SM-G900A) device.
If this is not your device, you need to go to the corresponding forum/thread. I realize there are many similarities amongst the G900 variants, but the instructions I provide- as well as the help I can give, are limited to the AT&T (SM-G900A) variant only. Even then the help I can provide is still limited.
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible if you brick, break, or blow up your phone. You assume all and any responsibility for ALL actions you commit to your phone.
1) Xposed Framework
2) WanamXposed
3) Gravity Box
---I advise caution with this, as some of the features are built into the GS5 rom.
4) Greenify
5) X Tether
6) G-TouchWiz
Will post more later!
Notes :
*See the second page on how to activate the built-in wifi tether with Wanam Xposed and X Tether.
*See the second page to help reduce performance issues.
@profcx has pointed out that the "Download Booster Mod" is currently incompatible with the X Tether for Xposed.
Never mind
NM
Downloaded X Tether from Xposed Framework , then go to wanam and click on system and enable "skip provisioning check" and rebooted. It alows me to turn on tethering and mobile Hotspot.

How to Remove Battery and USB Cover warnings
There has been some complaint about these warnings, so here goes:
1a) Download Xposed
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
1b) Install it.
1c) Open it up, tap on "Framework," then tap"OK" on the pop up. Then tap "Install/Update"
2) Reboot.
3a) Re Open Xposed, tap "Download, " and search for "G-Touchwiz."
Or go here
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.gertlily.xposed.touchwiz
3b) Install it. Swipe from left to right and it will show the download options.
3c) Go to the main menu of Xposed, check the box for "G-TouchWiz" then reboot.
4) Find the "G-TouchWiz" app and open it.
5a) Under the "POPUPS" section there is:
"Disable battery cover popup on/off"
"Disable USB Cover popup on/off"
5b) Turn them off. (cryptic, huh?)
5c) Reboot.
Finished. You will notice that they did not annoy you... this time.
(Please hit thanks if I have helped!)

My G900A with the Xposed Framework, X Tether, Wanam Kit and Wanam Xposed installed, does not have "skip provisioning check" listed on either of the Wanam modules. Thoughts?
Open wanamxposed then go to System. Then check "Disable Tethering Provisioning"
If you don't have this, tell me what version of wanam you have.
Can somebody post a link or explain the benefits of installing Xposed and or wanam. I'm not a complete rookie but besides the few tweaks already on this thread, what else works on our 900As

What is Xposed Framework?
As far as Xposed/Wanam, these apps allow you to modify visual and technical elements of your phone's rom. These changes are temporary and can be reversed.
The Xposed Framework is intended to bring functions of a custom rom INTO a stock rom. One could say it is an alternative for phones in which the bootloader remains locked.

There are tons of modules, however only a few of them work with the S5 currently. You are free to explore, but use caution and common sense. If it's for an HTC, then don't use it.
This thread was meant to discuss which ones do work.
Well I downgraded my firmware to the G900AUCU1ANCE and now I can only get usb tethering. Amy ideas on how to enable regular tethering (not having to use a usb cable)

I'm using Greenify and GravityBox. Both seem to work with out errors. I tried Exchange Bypass, didn't work. and I tried Advanced Power Menu, that didn't work either.
How to Force Native WiFi Tether Galaxy S5 (Root)
Decided to edit this post to make more sense.
Follow the steps below to enable the built in wifi tether feature:
1a) If you haven't already, download the Xposed Framework app.
Xposed Framework Installer
1b) Open the app, tap "Framework," then tap "OK." Now tap "Install/Update."
2) Reboot
3a) Open Xposed, then tap "Downloads," then search for Wanam Xposed and X Tether. Alternatively you can go to:
Wanam Xposed Module (Repo)
X Tether Module (Repo)
3b) Once downloaded and installed, open the Xposed app. Tap "Modules." Now check the box next to each module.
4) Reboot. Again.
5) Open Wanam Xposed and tap "System." Then check "Disable Tether Provisioning."
6) Again, reboot.
Your native wifi should now function.

Uninstall the modules, and Wanam, and Xposed.
Unroot.
Reboot.
Update to 2AND3 firmware (Just check for updates.)

Did you follow the instructions for downgrade/unbrick fix at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785185
Please note that the original instructions have been changed. Read through the entire thread and follow the instructions to fix this. Users have reported that they are able to update once again to the G900AUCU2AND3 firmware once complete. For more questions regarding this, please post in that thread.
I think it's easy to make this mistake but make sure you download WanamXposed and not Wanam Kit, which I think is close to the top which is why I selected it. It seemed to work for me but I started having problems and I realized it was made for aosp ROMs. Just putting it out there.
Just a heads up guys - the Xposed tethering mod is incompatible with the 'download booster' mod from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785410
It's one or the other for now.
Later.
@profcx
Thank you for the heads up!
I will update the OP.
Noticed a performance decrease after doing this. However i can now share my wifi. Not sure what is better.
Performance Issues with Xposed (Solved)
Download and open up your favorite build.prop editor. Or just use a text capable app like ES File Explorer or Rom Toolbox.
1) Navigate to /system/build.prop
2) Go to the line"ro.storagesecure.support"
3) Change the value to "false"
4) Reboot.
Everything should be fine after that.

Can you please clarify exactly what this "ro.storagesecure.support=false" is supposed to fix? Are you saying this will fix the performance issue mentioned in post 18 or will this fix native tether in some cases?

Hello.. i recently rooted my htc one m8..
I installed xposed installer it was working fine then i installed this module gravity box.. it wasn't working.. then i uninstalled it and now i dont have anything in my download section in xposed installer..
Please help!
screenshot
Here is its screenshot
Only download of xposed is not enough for system mods.. You have to download different module for different modification...
First reinstall xposed and then go to framework and install it.. Then reboot your phone.. Only then you can see modules for download...
Xposed Installer > Settings > Make sure "Enable downloads" is checked.
Hi,
I am trying to get Xposed installed onto a device which has a readonly system and locked bootloader (therefore we cannot add CWM to run unsigned zips).
Using a procedure we're able to extract system, modify it (for instance add SuperSU / root) and put system back onto the dvice.
I have added app_process this way. It has the right permissions, etc. I have also added the apk to /system/app and also tried installing the app before changing the app_process file.
Xposed screen shows it's active (app_process = 58, XposedBridge.jar = 54), but still it complains it's not active after reboot.
See attached screenprints (01/02: now added attachments).
Any thoughts on why Xposed is not started? It's Android 4.4 with Dalvik runtime.
Regards,
Nika.
Try removing all traces of Xposed Installer app (especially when you previously installed it in /system/app).
Then install it as a normal app.

But it was showing, Xposed not installed, install and reboot, but in framework, it shows both active.
Unfortunately, xposed was not working with these active.
Then I saw a video on youtube in which he solved this problem, procedure was, : --- >
1. go to es explorer
2. then Device - > System - > etc -> theme - >
3. rename map.properties file to amap.properties
after this reboot,
I followed the same procedure, and now after rebooting,
I am not able to open anything, it is showing Application error, unfortunately, launcher has stopped, and it is not letting me get in any option or even go to setting,
whenever i try to go to setting using notification menu, error shows setting has stopped and again laucher has stopeed,
I am not able to do anything.

I have a WALTON Primo_HM and I also rooted once with Kingo ROOT or KingRoot . This app does root your phone safely but not greatly.I also installed Xposed installer in the phone but it says it was active and others said it wasn't active.The main issue is with the root.Try giving your phone a hard reset. I will not be responsible for the damage occurrence.
