The S5 mod includes the new Ultra power save mode that lets you get the most out of your battery, Download booster that lets you download over LTE and WiFi simultaneously, Baby monitor, Air wake up, and others.

Currently, the latest build only works on the I9505 version of the Galaxy S4, although the author is working on one that will be available for the I9500. Here’s a full list of supported S5 features:

  • Ported S5 Ultra Power Saving Mode
