Is there a bare bones ROM available for 4.4.4? I recall some being available for previous devices and those seem to have to have the best performance and most popular. Basically just the stock ROM debloated and flashable via TWRP. And if so, would this have working touchless control/active display?
thanks!
The reason it probably isn't there is that most people just root and delete the 10-20 apks manually. Takes pretty much the same amount of time for the same end result.

I'm using Epsilon Project ROM on my XT1060 Verizon Dev edition running AT&T Sim card. It's very minimalist, has working active display and touchless control, and reduces battery consumption considerably compared to stock (DU Battery Saver estimated battery time jumped from 18 hours to 28 hours from full).
Here's the link to the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-epsilon-project-v1-0-09-03-clean-t2866450
thanks for the feedback y'all, looks like I've got some reading/research to do.
IMNUTS - agreed, but from my experience, I think it's best to start with a clean slate rather than trying to debloat various apps - as those could have left other files on the system that could hinder performance.
Make sure to look into Krypton(blur/stock based), Eclipse(same):good:. Honestly I've only ran Krypton but I went back to stock rooted... + xposed etc... had some lag here and there in Krypton, stock is noticiably snappier for me:/ *shrugs

Do you guys (or anyone) know if I would be able to downgrade to a stock 4.4.2 after upgrading to 4.4.4 on Krypton (or any custom ROM, for that matter)? I know there's been a lot of talk about how you shouldn't downgrade... I've always been a little unclear as to whether that applies to stock ROMs only or both stock and custom.
Also, what happens if the install doesn't work? Can I flash a downgraded ROM? I tried installing the latest CM11 for my phone, but it failed, and I reinstalled a stock 4.2.2, and just reading through the forums... I feel like that was a big freakin' no-no.

Roms don't flash bootloader and other certain things, so... The rule is really, don't downgrade official firmware, ever. Once you flash 4.4.2 or higher, you cannot downgrade. Roms are not included, as they don't touch the bootloader. So yes, if you were on official 4.4.2 firmware, flashed a 4.4.4 custom rom, and want to flash 4.4.2 official firmware again.... That's fine.
But if you flash 4.4.4 firmware with fastboot or RSDLite, that's it.... No going back to 4.4.2.
Now, my disclaimer.... You SHOULD be OK. There's no guarantees in life, especially on phone flashing.... Anything can go horribly wrong anytime and doing anything. So do all this at your own peril. ?
Thanks!

Hi All,
My Moto X (1st Gen) is about 4 months old. I'm contemplating on rooting the phone. Is it worth the effort or should I patiently wait for the Lollipop update to come in (whenever that is!). I used a lot of custom roms in my old Nexus 4, so missing the excitement of a new rom. just a bit indecisive at the moment. Would love your opinions on this.

I am using the Moto X for nealry 9 months now. Never thought of rooting it as I didnt find any bloat here like the Touchwiz
I am honestly very tempted by the ROMs out there. And I don't know why but I'm definitely noticing some performance lag. Tried everything but not seeing a lot of improvement.

Before you go contemplating this question, figure out if you'll be able to root your phone in the first place.
Then instead of asking this question, ask whether or not you should unlock the bootloader. It's the only way to maintain root since 4.4.4 patched the vulnerabilities used to attain root.
There are reasons why I would root like Tasker(full functionality),a custom kernel or UI changes
I rooted my X so I can play with gravity box and other stuff. Unrooting and relocking the bootloader isn't hard to do and that's what I'll do once Lollipop comes out for my phone. (Already factory reset my phone once from custom Rom).

I meant to say return to stock recovery. I read somewhere that you can't get OTA with a custom recovery, Rom and rooted.

Gotcha, that is true. Stock recovery and stock system and you are good to go.
I personally root all my devices for better control. However, I personally don't use Roms because I want a stock experience and that includes boot animation and themes. The only Roms I have ever kept on my phones were ARHD and Paranoid Android. If neither are available, I go with Xposed.
I just bought my N6 yesterday from Verizon and I spent some time last night reading up on things but I would like some further confirmation from some experienced users. So I've read a few posts where some have bricked their devices by flashing cm12 while on 5.1. The Verizon N6 came with 5.1 already so is it advisable to not flash cm12? And while we're on that topic, is there anything else you should not do while on 5.1? I was looking through all the roms/kernels and some are not updated yet. So if I'm on 5.1, is it ok to flash a rom/kernel that is not 5.1? And the encryption stuff is confusing as well. I'm sure the device will be a little faster with encryption disabled but is it really that big of a difference? I apologize for being a total noob when it comes to Nexus devices. I've never owned one, I've always had HTC or Samsung. I haven't ran cm since I had my HTC Rezound lol so I'm anxious to run it again. So if someone could please tell me what roms I can and cannot flash and just give me some general advice about this phone I would greatly appreciate it.

it is NOT ok to flash a rom for any other version than what youre on. so dont flash any 5.0.2 roms or kernels if youre on 5.1. (exception being the radio. i believe that can be swapped without incident, but youll have to do some extensive reading in the General and Development sections)
personally im on 5.0.2 for now until chroma gets realllll shiny and polished
i havent been encrypted since my first bootup, but my understanding any lag associated with that has basically been resolved

Simply inaccurate. You can run 5.0.2 roms after updating to 5.1 without issue. Just don't touch the bootloader. You cannot downgrade the bootloader from 5.1.

Anything that is 5.1 yes, I would stick to ROMs based on the "E" build of 5.1, since that's what you're phone came on. Most ROMs are in process of updating to E.

my bad
I have a non dev Moto X from Verizon (XT1060, first gen). It is currently running 4.4.4. What is the most I can do with it? Reading several threads, I am unable to find a conclusive answer regarding this. Looks like sunshine doesn't work nor do most one click tools. My goal is to flash a debloated ROM at the very least if possible.
You won't be able to flash any custom rom without an unlocked bootloader and that's that really. At most you could root(when possible) and manually uninstall bloatwares from the stock rom. I'm glad I had troubles upgrading my phone initially and was able to read about sunshine app on time.

to the moon and back at least, of course try krypton, or maybe even the modded 5.1 for the 1060, I prefer krypton but the modded 5.1 came a long way quickly I just wasn't feeling the change from simplicity (less options but works perfect for me) of Moto Assist, to the more complex options in LP :/ Check out the respect threads for each rom!
Safestrap only works for 4.4.2 no?

I've done rooted stock + xposed.
I've done custom ROM + xposed.
I've done custom ROM by itself.
Here's my opinion based on experience...
I did rooted stock + xposed only when there was no custom ROM available. It's the least preferable choice, due to security risk. Rooted stock + xposed is just a simulation of a good custom ROM. It's better than nothing -- but good custom ROMs are updated frequently to close malware holes. Both CM121. and Resurrection Remix have blocked the Stagefright risk. Does Motorola's current stock ROM block that risk? Are there Xposed modules that block that risk? That's just ONE security threat, there are many others since stock 5.1 ROM was released.
I've done custom ROM+ xposed, when there was one or two features an otherwise excellent ROM did not have -- or in one specific case where the ROM devs on purpose locked users into a specific choice where they previously gave user options. Installing xposed with that ROM let me use my phone the way I wanted, giving me choice back while still using that ROM. The problem with using xposed + custom ROMs is xposed modules are only guaranteed to work on AOSP ROMs that have not been heavily modified. There may be a conflict somewhere. I would only use it for one or two features you could not live without -- like in the example I gave, "clear all recents".
I've done custom ROM only. CM12.1 has been the first ROM where I didn't need xposed to add any functionality to the ROM I was using. Resurrection Remix actually has even more options... but I'm comfortable with CM12.1. (CM dev @Skrilax_CZ brought the first custom ROM and kernel for our Quarks, all others that followed are based his work -- especially the kernel.) I'm running CM12.1 on both my Quarks and have been for months. But the point is both Resurrection Remix and CM12.1 are way more advanced than Motorola stock 5.1, as they are both 5.1.1 + custom features.
NOTE: There really aren't any stock Moto features that are not replicated by custom ROMs. It may be called something else, but it's the same feature. Resurrection Remix even has the permissions integrated to let you to install MOST Moto apps if you absolutely need to have the same name. See this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/to-motorola-features-t3266646/page5
Plus, Resurrection Remix and even CM12.1 would have the security updates stock ROM does not.
I'm running CM12.1 plus Moto Camera because someone ported the Moto camera for CM users, and CM12.1 has all the other functionality I need (just different names).

Fair enough, I appreciate the input. I'm still pretty new to the custom ROM scene, so there's lots to learn. Why not, I'll give Resurrection Remix a try. Sounds like people love it, and I really like the Moto features so I'd want to keep those. Thanks for the advice
I honestly just like the "all my devices are the same" so all my devices that can run cm.

Not necessarily. That didn't stop @Skrilax_CZ from giving us Lollipop (March 2015) before Motorola released stock Lollipop for any of the Quarks. April 2015, Moto Turbo XT1225 was released with stock Lollipop 5.0.2 -- that was the first Quark with stock Lollipop from Motorola. @Skrilax_CZ beat them by using CM12.0 (Lollipop 5.0.2) with Kitkat 4.4.4 kernel, until Motorola publicly released Lollipop 5.0.2 kernel code. (Even though Motorola gave the Moto Turbo XT1225 5.0.2 in April 2015, they didn't release their Lollipop 5.0.2 kernel code publicly for devs to use until a few weeks later.)
Point is, we had Lollipop for Quark before Motorola gave Lollipop to Quark!
And we had CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) months (mid-April 2015) before Motorola finally gave just 5.1 to the Droid Turbo XT1254 in July 2015:

@Skrilax_CZ used CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) first with Motorola's 4.4.4 kernel code and then Motorola's 5.0.2 kernel code, until Motorola finally released Lollipop 5.1.x kernel code (September 2015).
Motorola never gave the other Quarks Lollipop 5.1 -- the Moto Turbo XT1225 and Moto Maxx XT1225 officially still have 5.02. and the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 (same identical device as the Droid Turbo XT1254, even the same FCC ID) is still "officially" stuck on Kitkat 4.4.4 -- unless you root and install custom Lollipop 5.1.1. ROM. But thanks to devs like @Skrilax_CZ we've had Lollipop 5.1.1 since April 2015!
So, NO, we do not have to wait for Motorola's slow roll-out of stock MM for our Quarks.

Same here. When I help friends and family, I install CM so I know exactly where all the settings and options are. Two LG G2 phones, a Nexus 7 tablet all owned by other friends or in-laws. My wife's and my Quark XT1225. For some reason I never rooted my wife's Nexus 9 (yet) -- but when I do, it will have CM.
I also install Nova launcher and set all those options the same all all devices (including non-rooted Nexus 9). My wife said, "But my tablet looks like my phone." I replied, "Exactly." That was my intention.
If something isn't acting right, I can quickly diagnose it without having to remember it's set up differently or has an entirely different ROM.
Quick question, out of ignorance, not wanting to seem unappreciating... Doesn't the nexus 6 have very similar hardware to the turbo? And does MM change that much from the framework of lollipop? I have no idea about rom building, but shouldn't the process be more... Seamless? I've done some building on Linux itself and have some idea of how an OS works, shouldn't drivers be separate from the framework itself? I don't mean this for the turbo exactly, or trying to minimize the awesome works skrillax has done, but I mean this in the more general non-UI-modified-vanilla-ROMs sense.

not that it is the right way to do things or anything less than half baked kanging, but
i sucessfully got carbon rom (shamu) to boot on my xt1254. several things *appeared* broken, the worst of which was a 180° flip on the screen that kept buttons (touch response) in a spot it is visually not. i tried to simply add the inverse mounted line from the cm12.1 build.prop but that didnt change anything. i used the cm12.1 kernel.
if any of you that actually have a clue have pointers, insight, or know what i need to do tp port shamu roms to the quark, im all ears

Few things to note and remember that the DPI for the two devices are different (may be the cause of the rotation bug or not) For Quark is 640 for Shamu I think is 560 (will have to verify) Also what changes did you make to the existing build prop (if any) to get the ROM to boot?

the dpi looked right, but you are correct that technically, 560 is not correct for the quark. ultimately, i didnt have to change anything to get it to boot aside from swapping in the cm12.1 boot.img. it seems like someone could make a script or kit to easily port shamu roms to the turbo if the issues (bluetooth, screen, audio, radios lol) were ironed out. probably easier to build something else than to fix existing roms for another (similar, yet widely different) device. i have no answer for the screen issue aside from adding the inverted display line to build.prop, which changed nothing. principally, the fact that it didnt just blackscreen and soft brick is more promising than i had expected still, i do not know a tenth of what to do, so it isnt gonna work for me anytime soon. lol.

Well for WiFi, Radios, Bluetooth, etc doesn't the drivers need to be added to the build.prop for the system to actually use them? If possible you could use a build.prop for the turbo in Carbon and just tailor it a bit, theoretically of course. I know it's more complicated than I'm making it sound.
lol. yes, but i get what you mean. in older roms (cm10, cm11) to port, youd copy/paste all of the set perm recursives. in cm12.1 i dont know where to start pulling things from. mind you, i know its not as simple as it used to be because of the new dat format. guess i should read up a bit. lol
