Alright folks, as many of you know, Android L is finally here after a long wait.
As we all know, at this time, Xposed is not supported on Android L, so for those of us who need options for exploiting Tether/WiFi just in case a flashed app/mod doesn't work, I wanted to pose the question.
I know some of you out there have had, or used FoxFi, and for those of you who have Upgraded to Android L and need the Tether/WiFi service, have you used FoxFi post updating, and if so, how is it working out?
Thanks in advance.

FoxFi works fine on at least unrooted Lollipop, so I assume it'll work fine on rooted as well.

Thank you for that as well Sir. Couple final questions.
Did you run a speedtest while you had it? If so, what were the speeds you were getting?

I'm not sure what you mean by speedtest pertaining to which device, but on my S5 running FoxFi I got 30/15 and on my Nexus 7 connected through FoxFi I got 28/15.

I meant on the S5, being this is the sub-forum for the device in which I am asking the question.
I just noticed, the Play Store has FoxFi and PDANet now.. Which of them did you use?

FoxFi. Just so you know, when I turned off FoxFi and tried connecting to WiFi it would connect but nothing would load, then I'd try rebooting and it was stuck on boot until it said "system has stopped." To fix that I just wiped cache in recovery, but idk this might be a FoxFi thing.
Thank you.
FoxFi (Paid version) works fine after Lollipip OTA on Stock Unrooted VZW GS5.

I stupidly deleted my TiBu backup and sadly don't have the apk for the last My Verizon app before they started requesting root access. Does anyone have the apk for that version? Many thanks in advance.

I don't know if it's helpful, but I simply went into SuperSU and DENIED "My Verizon" root access. Not sure if that'll accomplish the same thing as installing a version of MyVZW that is "pre-root requesting."

True but I haven't felt 100% fully comfy with the latest version. Thankfully it still works just fine with by passing the root access request but it still makes me a bit weary if you know what I mean.

I've got version 10.0.615. Believe that is before their recent b.s. Traveling for the next 2 hours. Let me know if you want it.

So, I was going to use Cf-Auroroot like I have for every other Samsung device I've got but apparently there's an issue with it for the N915G.
What I did was put the latest super su file (i used v2.40) on my external SD card and then in Odin flash the latest TWRP recovery from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993 (you can also use the sd card fix from here too, flash in TWRP, just install supersu, then add another flash file and install the sd card fix).
Go to recovery mode and flash super su.
I found it had an error flashing cache but a factory reset fixed this so best done BEFORE setting everything up.
Let phone reset, set it up and you now have root access with a clean install of stock rom.
Happy days.
This worked fine for me and left out the step of flashing CF-Autoroot which wasn't needed.
You will still trip Knox.
I don't know if this will work flawlessly for you or for all models, especially if the bootloader is locked, but theoretically it should.
Good luck guys, happy flashing.
And HAPPY NEW YEAR...:laugh:

Exactly the same method... I believe Twrp 2.8.5.0 and Supersu 2.4.6 were what I used to root Lollipop...

It seems to work on most variants, except those with locked bootloaders..
If it didn't I don't know why.

You should not have many issues with 5.0.1. What you need to do after flashing the 5.0.1...you need to reset to factory setting. Im sure by now you know when upgrading..you still keep data from the kitkat. This may cause conflict and issues. At the moment the only issue i had is sometime i get that contact closed notifications. I have google this issue...seem like it happen to other phones to with early 5.0.1. For me im ok...cause it only happen very rarely...i hope a much later lollipop will fix this issues.

Aussie 915G is unlocked. As far as I know so are all others...
Mentioned locked bootloaders as this will work on other models too...
Got my SM-915G, and got it rooted and TWRP installed following you method. It is working with AT&T and I am getting LTE data speeds, but it is struggling on voice network. hardly any bars are visible on the signal strength icon.
Is there any solution?

Possibly flashing the modem and non-HLOS.bin for AT&T.
I can't really say as I live in Oz and have no problems with voice calls...
I do find that my bars don't tend to go over 3 or more than halfway but that could be due to where I live and the crappy coverage we get here... No problem with voice calls though...
I am not sure if I can install SM-N915A modem on 915G.
Can someone confirm if that is possible, if so, what version?
tell me one thing is xposed framework and freedom app now working on note edge 915G lollipop
Nope. Better stick with Kitkat if you intend to use Freedom and Xposed.

I tried it. Initial connection popped up some error messages in Windows, but I was then able to browse my apps files contacts etc from MobileGo. The "OneClickRoot" button, unfortunately, did not work. Threw an error and then my phone rebooted.
I'm still on stock NI2 4.4.4, but I rooted many moons ago. Ever since Google updated their Wallet app to the new Wallet with Android pay, I can't use Wallet with NFC. I used to use the vending machine, but now it says "android pay cannot be used" and it kicks me back out. I tried temp unrooting with SuperSU, as well as RootCloak. I even tried older versions of the Wallet app, but nothing works. Anyone have luck with this? Maybe I should cross post in the Unified S5 thread.
As far as I know they removed the 'tap to pay' function from Wallet. You can only use it with Android Pay.

It does for some. People have temporarily disabled su, added cards in android pay, then re enabled su. I've had no luck with it though, but wss hoping others might have.

FoxFi not yet working on Android 7.0+ devices without root. I haven't paid much attention to if root has been achieved for the Verizon variant, also interested in finding out if our bl is locked.
