Xposed slowdowns seem to have offset any speed gains from the clean up.
Hope this helps

Just wondering, if Xposed slows it down, what's the point of installing it for Wanam?

Hello everyone!
I wanted to wright this post because it was kind of a surprise to me the outcome of my decision.
Since I bought my XT1068 back in April 2015, I constantly changed between custom ROM's and kernels, from Lollipop to Nougat, hoping to get the best out of my device, in terms of performance and also in terms of battery (as everyone else).
I faced a lot of great ROM's (CM 12.1, MinimalOS, Blisspop, TurboROM, RR, Radium, etc.) What I began to realise, was that I was still missing the bug free ROM experience I wanted, along with the performance and battery life that everyone wants.
Lately, I have been using @Danilo-Sanchez Unnofficial CM 12.1 (thanks a lot for all awesome the work man) who kept updating it with latest security patches, but I missed some of the MM features.
A couple of days ago, after reading some comments and seeing some reports I thought to my self why not go with stock (stock? omg ), and decided to install it and update it to latest version.
Along with Root, Xposed, Greenify and Amplify, I ended up with a blazing fast smooth ROM, with great performance, incredible battery life, and all the tweaks that xposed has to offer.
I now have a constant 400+Mb free RAM device with 5+hours of SoT with average usage (YouTube, browsing Chrome, Instagram, Messenger, SMS).
For those who want to know how I did it here is the guide:
There are two Stock Moto Marshmallow builds.
This is the first one, you will get everything stock, including recovery, and you will lose all data and root.
After flashing according to the link, you will receive after some minutes the second update. Install the update and then you can finally flash TWRP and then root your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-t3018682
Here is the link for the TWRP and root thread. Remember to flash latest TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2…/…/xt1063-t3018818
I always have 450+ MB off free RAM and 5+hours of SoT. This achieved with xposed, greenify and amplify.
PS: I would like to remember that I dont have Facebook neither Snapchat apps, which take a lot of ram and battery. For Facebook I use Chrome shortcut.
Battery TIP:
Always try to plug in your phone to the charger between 5% and 10% and NEVER let your phone turn off itself because of no battery.
Also, if you can, always charge to 100% and try not to charge overnight, unplug when it reaches 100%.
Hope I was clear and if I helped you, hit thanks! :good:
I have to admit that I didn't use stock MM rom a lot.
I've just used stock LP 5.0.2 (which I hated because of that memory leak bug).
When update to MM came I was already using CM12.1 (later I updated to MM only to update the bootloader, but didn't use the ROM).
Was the stereo channels bug fixed on latest update?

You should give it a try
Yes here stereo channels working as they should, not inverted.
After trying many ROMs on here, and ultimately not being satisfied (jumping from ROM to ROM). I found myself always going back to stock. And now seeing as how Cyanogen Inc. no longer supports CyanogenMod...not that I was ever really a fan on CM based ROMs in the first place (but apparently it was important to custom ROM development or something), ROM development for the phone has really gotten slow.
All I ever really wanted was a stable, bug free, as pure as possible AOSP ROM that's maintained and kept up-to-date with the following Apps...
G-Apps:
Google Play Store
Google Play Services
Google Now Launcher
Google Search App
Google Keyboard
And any other apps/libs required for those to work properly. Any other G-Apps that I may have needed could have been downloaded through Google Play.
Moto-Apps:
Stock Motorola Camera (fully working)
That's pretty much the only Motorola app I care about.
But no, I was unable to find such an AOSP ROM so now stock ROM is the only ROM I'll use till I part ways with my Moto G (Titan). Rooted of course, but no Xposed for me...I don't really care about customization and TBH I don't really care much for Nougat and Nougat based ROMs either. I was using stock Marshmallow for the longest while but recently decided to try stock Lollipop again. I had forgotten how responsive stock Lollipop was compared to Marshmallow, I personal never experienced any sort of memory leak on stock 5.0.2 Lollipop. Now I've decided to just stick with stock Lollipop till the end.

I use an app called Disable Service by WangQi to disable the following apps:
com.motorola.motgeofencesvc
MotoCare
MotoCareInt
Motorola Services Main
MotorolaOTA --a must disable for me, as it will try to check for updates then nag you to death to upgrade which will brick a downgraded phone.
NativeDropBoxAgent
(BlurServiceMother) Service from stock Gallery App --otherwise you'll keep getting errors in the gallery app due to NativeDropBoxAgent service being disabled.
Now I have better battery life than I did under Marshmallow and have up to 605 MBs of free RAM and a smooth responsive experience. Note that I also set animations to .5x under Developer Options and turned off touch sounds.

Most of the apps you disabled I unninstalled myself, I prefer to free the space (although I dont really use it).
The main reason I use xposed is for amplify, greenify and for some small tweaks with gravity box, I dont like many apps messing with the phone.
Anyway, there were some features I missed from MM, that is why I switch from Lollipop.
Thanks for your comment!

@maximuns Since I am currently facing the dilemma (hold on for LineageOS 14.1 Snapshot or revert back to stock), I have some questions for you:
1) What apps have you disabled/uninstalled and with which app did you disable/uninstall them? Can you make a list of them as @MobileHD did with his/hers?
2) What custom ROM were you using prior to reverting to stock ROM? I've read posts mentioning some ugly hardbricking when reverting from custom ROM to stock ROM and that I should stick to custom ROM, if I have one installed. I am currently using LineageOS 14.1 200170126.
3) What kind of weekly or monthly maintenance do you perform to keep your phone bug/ram leak free? I myself wipe cache from recovery (TWRP) every 15 days and use sd maid once a month. But I cannot keep the phone from lagging and it really gets on my nerves.
4) How may apps do you have currently installed? I feel that keeping 77 apps is killing my phone's ram.
5) Do we really need to install TWRP? Can't we just use the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" and run the custom recovery just to install the root app?I ask this because we won't be able to install OTA updates after installing a custom recovery.
6) Did you make any changes to the default settings of Greenify or Amplify? What for do you use the Gravity Box app exactly? Care to mention what changes have you done to the default settings please?
Just a question. In stock roms, how you disable the ascending ringtone? I really dont like it.

@maximuns Since I am currently facing the dilemma (hold on for LineageOS 14.1 Snapshot or revert back to stock), I have some questions for you:
2) What custom ROM were you using prior to reverting to stock ROM? I've read posts mentioning some ugly hardbricking when reverting from custom ROM to stock ROM and that I should stick to custom ROM, if I have one installed. I am currently using LineageOS 14.1 200170126.
5) Do we really need to install TWRP? Can't we just use the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" and run the custom recovery just to install the root app?I ask this because we won't be able to install OTA updates after installing a custom recovery.

You will brick your phone when you use default OTA and update it from older Android(or bootloader) version to newer.(I think its because of the bootloader) Just care!

You only brick your phone if you downgrade android with a higher bootloader to a lower (for example from 4887 - latest to 4886 - previous).
When in stock, you can update your android when the update arrives, as long as you have stock recovery, stock ROM and no ROOT. (not sure about the last one)

I think there is no option for that and I think I don't have ascending ringtone, never noticed.

@maximuns Since I am currently facing the dilemma (hold on for LineageOS 14.1 Snapshot or revert back to stock), I have some questions for you:
1) What apps have you disabled/uninstalled and with which app did you disable/uninstall them? Can you make a list of them as @MobileHD did with his/hers?
2) What custom ROM were you using prior to reverting to stock ROM? I've read posts mentioning some ugly hardbricking when reverting from custom ROM to stock ROM and that I should stick to custom ROM, if I have one installed. I am currently using LineageOS 14.1 200170126.
3) What kind of weekly or monthly maintenance do you perform to keep your phone bug/ram leak free? I myself wipe cache from recovery (TWRP) every 15 days and use sd maid once a month. But I cannot keep the phone from lagging and it really gets on my nerves.
4) How may apps do you have currently installed? I feel that keeping 77 apps is killing my phone's ram.
5) Do we really need to install TWRP? Can't we just use the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" and run the custom recovery just to install the root app?I ask this because we won't be able to install OTA updates after installing a custom recovery.

Hey man, I will try to be as specific as I can:
1) What apps have you disabled/uninstalled and with which app did you disable/uninstall them?
These are all my installed apps, I don't remember the ones I uninstalled, so I will leave here all apps and you can see the ones you have that are not here (which will be the ones I uninstalled). The frozen apps are identified.

2) What custom ROM were you using prior to reverting to stock ROM? I've read posts mentioning some ugly hardbricking when reverting from custom ROM to stock ROM and that I should stick to custom ROM, if I have one installed.
I was on AOKP N (January 19th build). I don't know of such issues.
3) What kind of weekly or monthly maintenance do you perform to keep your phone bug/ram leak free?
I usually clean cache when it reaches around 500/600Mb and once a month I fstrim my device (there are many apps that do that). My device usually stays smooth.
4) How may apps do you have currently installed?
Currently 30 apps that I installed myself, I normally try to have only the essentials so my device keeps running smoothly.
5) Do we really need to install TWRP? Can't we just use the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" and run the custom recovery just to install the root app?I ask this because we won't be able to install OTA updates after installing a custom recovery.
I know that with the stock Lollipop build you could apply that command, but with marshammow I sincerely don't know if that can be done, sorry. Even so, I don't think that there will be more official OTA's for our device, so for me that is no problem at all.
6) Did you make any changes to the default settings of Greenify or Amplify? What for do you use the Gravity Box app exactly?
Greenify:
I now use Naptime from Francisco Franco instead of Greenify, it is more what I want. When I lock my device, it immediately enters Doze mode, so almost no battery is drained as soon as I turn the screen off. Also phone sensors are turned off.
I only don't apply it to Google Messenger app and phonograph because I wouldn't receive SMS/MMS neither would I be able to listen to music with screen off.
Amplify:
I leave everything as it is, all default.
Gravity Box:
I use Gravity Box app for some visual tweaks and funcionality.
Device unlocks automatically once I put the correct PIN code;
Long pressing power button when screen off turns on the flashlight;
Quick Settings tweaks (personal taste);
Turn on cursor control keys on navbar;
Advanced reboot menu;
Ram usage on recents menu;
Clear all button on recents menu.
I hope I was clear with everything, any questions feel free to ask!
Hit thanks if I helped you :good:
I think if you don't try to downgrade or mess around with the bootloader then you should be fine. For reference that's the motoboot.img file from stock ROMs. As a precaution I always rename that file to something like _motoboot.img and remove any reference to it from the EasyInstaller script I use to flash my ROM. I also do the same for gpt.bin, it seems to cause problems when you try to go back to an older partition table when downgrading. (it can cause issues with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Data connections etc...)
I also use an app called Trimmer (fstrim) by AdminseHow which seems to keep my phone snappy.
These are the apps I have installed (bare in mind that I'm a very minimalist user):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is my memory usage:

Right now I am on LineageOS 14.1 20160702. My bootloader version is 48.86. So I guess it is safe to flash stock Marshmallow, since 48.86 is compatible with stock MM and I won't have to worry about possible hardbrick, right?
Furthermore, how do you keep system apps frozen? I guess that it's not the Servicely app that does the trick.

Yes you're right
I used Link2SD app
What are your thoughts on Radium Redefined? It's a stock rom which with some tweaks. I saw in your main post that you've used it but I would be interested to know your opinion on it.
am i the only dude happy with lineageos? i´m on 20160208 build and i have to say it´s pretty good...with about 50 apps and a 32gb sd it´s holding up. i bought a p9 a couple weeks ago but i still find myself comfortable with the g2 even with a crackled screen...my gf just moved on from the 1st gen moto g with cracked screen as well to a p9 lite...and guess what, i´m not jumping on the huawei boat cause LOS isn´t on the way yet...i´ve been a CM dude long time and can´t stand the bloatware on huawei phones..

It is a stock based rom, with a low memory consumption and really light, but the development has seized, so I prefer to stick with stock, the security patch is more recent and with root you can unninstall all the apps you don't want and tweak the rom as I did.
Anyway, it is an awesome choice also.
Keep in mind that it is stock based, so many of the kernels and mods are not compatible (just like stock)
Hope I helped
My aim is to have my LG G5 running as close to stock Android as possible - a homemade "Google Edition", since Google won't make one.... hopefully with all the stability of a stock phone but just a bit leaner in terms of needless battery drain from unwanted apps, so I'm just running stock rooted and looking to pare that down a bit (debloat).
A few years ago, I had some REALLY bad experiences with these Windows debloat apps that automate it via ADB, so I'm looking for something a little more hands on whre I know what is happening, so am I over-complicating / over simplifying what I'm intending to do? i.e. Would I actually be better with a pre-built lean ROM?
Phone:
VodafoneUK LG G5, Stock LG Nougat (with the expected Vodafone+LG bloat).
200Gb SD, standard partitioning.
Successfully done so far: Bootloader unlocked (LG OEM Dev code), TWRP 3.0.2.1 (loaded via ADB) and rooted (SuperSU 2.79 via TWRP).
The Plan:
I already have a full backup via TWRP, but then I'm intending to use Titanium Backup PRO to first take another backup and then Freeze (and later remove) most of this list of apps from Andromods - but note that this is for an AT&T/Verizon H820 and it recommends one of those "desktop apps", so I'm just using their article for a list of apps:

Google plus, find Fluence UHD DEVELOPMENT, Miustone already did that,you can compare your app list with his.
Using his patch at the moment, plus I've deleted a certain number of apps myself.

Thanks. That does sound like a very neat alternative route. So the Fluence patch can be applied to any ROM? This sounds like a neat way to get the stability of the factory build (working camera, radios, etc) and tweaking a few things too.
One issue though: I have just unlocked and reset my VodafoneUK spec H850, rooted that and reloaded the apps.
The Fluence patch very specifically calls for a clean flash and unrooted device, so I'll have to reflash and start again (no major problem), but I don't have my stock firmware, only a TWRP backup after I unlocked the bootloader and a Titanium backup after rooted it.
Is there a recommended stock ROM download location? Google returns "lgg5root.com", but all unknown sites are blocked at my work, so I'll only get to check that tonight. I'd prefer to download it from a more mainstream location!
edit: The Fluence guide I saw previously (much older, v14), stated that it should be installed with a Fluence HD Kernel and Fluence HD ROM: https://appuals.com/best-guide-current-working-lg-g5-roms/ (somehow this site is allowed @ work ). Is that still recommended or can it really be used with ANY ROM? Which is the recommended (most stable and least buggy) base ROM to use?

If you're still looking for VodaphoneUK firmware for your H850, just check this link: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/ I count 5 VDF KDZ files there.
Thanks ARF - I'll grab those as a fall-back option!
That said, I might be going back to one of those stock ROMs and manually debloating with Titatnium Backup as I tried the Fluence UHD patch and Aroma OpenGapps, but now my LG camera software won't allow auto mode on the main camera (8MP rear panoramic and front seemokay though)... but every time I select the auto-focus, it crashes the camera app
EDIT: I deleted cache and data in the Camera app and it's working on autofocus again now (and it'll save SD save location, etc). Now I can't see the manual focus/ISO options at all any more, but that'll do for now.
