I have been using Custom Rom's for a while. But this is usually to bring a phone up to the latest possible Android version well after the manufacturer has stopped updating a device . I have been using Nexus devices so typically this is 18 months after a model is first introduced. Bit of a sore point with me coming from iPhones which get supported for much longer period. but I digress.
In the case of the Moto G. I question whether it is beneficial ATM to install a custom ROM? I have tried a couple, but have been quite disappointed up till now with reliability and performance.
So for now I have stayed with the standard Moto G Rom. Then tweaked it a little by doing the following.
1. Unlocked the phone
2. Rooted using TWRP (couldn't get CWM to work right)
3. Eliminated the Unlocked warning screen at start up :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548530
4. Changed the 3G data to H, H+ format :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600654
5. Installed Qualcomm-optimized bionic and dalvic from here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-4-4-x-qualcomm-optimized-dalvik-t2546120 (thanks @drfr )
6. Installed a new Faux123 Kernel, flcon_umts-faux123-kk-005u-signed.zip from here :- http://faux.romhost.me/falcon_umts/kk44/
7. From Play store installed the xposed installer
8. From Play Store added module Gravity box (KK)
9. From Play Store added module Ringer & Notification Volume
10. Installed the Apex launcher
11. From Play Store purchased Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Pro (couldn't find a free tool that worked!)
Result is a very stable ROM together with most of the little tweaks that I like to get from a Custom ROM. Plus everything works great. The current Antutu result is 19860.
So my general question, what is the advantage of using a Custom Rom, when for at the moment at least, the manufacturers ROM is fully up to date and with a few simple tweaks provides Custom Rom like appearance, together with great stability and performance?
As far as I know, the stock rom has a lot of optimizations for the Moto G hardware. For instance, its based on F2FS which is something the GPE Moto G does not have going for it.

That´s exactly the way I see things too. Played around with custom ROMs for a while and then came back to stock + all the enhancements you mentioned. Just a note to the point 5 of your list. Optimized dalvik and bionic are already included in stock ROMs.
I have this way of thinking too. So just going through the steps 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 10. My phone is excellent.

Thank you, I didn't know that, funny but I could swear that Antutu improved! I am still trying to decide if Point 6. Faux123 is really worth it. The 1.6gh/z over clocking is working and I am still getting two days of average use per charge. Can't decide either way really......
Same here, at this point, custom roms (non stock based) are non sense, since the stock is almost Aosp and updated as hell. Xposed is all you need.

All you need is Xposed, Faux kernel and the optimized Dalvik :S

Correct me if I am wrong but the stock roms from moto are equipped with the Qualcomm-optimized bionic and dalvik patches, aren't they?
If not where can I find this patches?

Great antutu result. Mostly due to the overclock. CM based roms doesnt have working overclock yet.
Im far away from that 19860 antutu score, any tips? I installed faux kernel and optimizers from qualcomm and cant get even close to 18000.

True. But its for now and that is because this is a brand new phone also with multiple variants like 1031/2/3
Hence creating a kind of obstruction for a successful ROM dev
Furthermore you don't just dev a ROM to get an Android update.
Its for the different features that people are looking for.
You might wanna try xposed modules.
Hell l0tta options there. Not for now but then for future.
Also then small little tweaks from other phones can be ported to this one.
There are just countless things that you can customize once you are rooted.
I had a Galaxy Ace duos CDMA which had no custom ROM.
But once I got it rooted my phone was so much better.
I had an extended internal memory with my SD card.
The bloatware that covered the small little internal memory was completely removed.
And it was so much faster and Functional with those rooted apps.
If that small little phone could do some magic with rooting.
Then this is a beast.
Half the new functionality that we get on the updates are actually the features of apps that work on rooted phones.
Wifi hotspot for an instance.
Agreed that in the current scenario its really not so useful but rooting your phone is a gift to yourself

How you guys were able to use Faux with Dalvik? Faux only works on my phone with ART. If i try Dalvik, com.android.phone force closes all the time. I also have tried the new dalvik, no luck either.
And that prevents me to use XPosed, cause it doesn't have an ART version. And i really miss GravityBox...

Hi all. I've had my mob off & on for a while and decided to upgrade to SlimBean ROM based on recommendations - after having decided a new ROM would be the best way to improve performance, and assuming that the latest one would be the best.
I've found the performance to be equally sluggish after a week or so of bedding in, and I'm still using the same low number of apps.
Two questions:
1. Are others out there experiencing snappy, low-lag, fast, fun mobile computing on this device while rocking the latest android build, either stock or with a custom ROM?
2. Are any others out there rocking older stock/ROMs to minimise OS overhead?
2b. or old/custom apk versions of apps to decrease bloat?
Cheers in advance
Dez
All I can tell you is my what works for me......
I broke my Epic 4G Touch so I had to activate the Nexus S 4G until I pull the trigger on a new phone. I went with the Stock rooted 4.1.1 and Matrix kernel overclocked. It runs much faster and with less lag then my nephew's NS4G running CM10.1 ROM. I showed him the difference and he is (I will be) flashing it back for him.

Interesting, thanks Steve.
What are you like regarding apps & widgets? "The bare essentials" or "everything I want"?
I'm resurrecting this phone for a friend, and I'm also wondering what ROM to flash.
All I can tell you is that when I upgraded this to 4.2 last year it was unusable, especially with Google Now enabled. The phone simply ran too slow on anything 4.x for me - perhaps consider using a 2.4 ROM?
I haven't had a phone have call quality or sound quality anywhere near the Nexus S since. 2.4 + Voodoo Sound was good stuff.
Slim 4.3 beta 1 with greenify app. That's all you need to keep it fresh all the time. And use slimsizer to reduce bloat.
And don't forget to enable "Allow purging of assets" and "Kernel samepage merging" in Settings>Advanced Options>Performance>Memory Management

Thanks. Is that beta stable enough for daily use? I assume those memory management options are only available in the 4.3 builds, as 'Performance' doesn't appear to be an available option.
Am I right in thinking there's a list somewhere of which apps I can safely remove with SlimSizer?
And is greenify similar to LagFIx, or is it worth having both?

Yes it's stable enough for daily use. Don't change kernels (for now).
Those memory management options were present in Cyanogenmod ROMs way back Jelly Bean 4.1 so they're present on most non-stock ROMs. (different location in settings menu)

Been on Slim Bean 4.3 Beta 1 for a day now and having no issues. The ROM image is only 84 mb, I don't think you'll be needing SlimSizer! Use the memory performance settings, they make all the difference. I'm not using greenify or lagfix yet, so far unnecessary. I'm pretty amazed this is running 4.3 as well as it is.

A question: the installation info says:
Step 0: You must be rooted!
Step 1: Download the Busybox installer app and install the Busybox to /system/xbin
Step 2: Reboot to recovery and install the BM.Tweaks.NEXUS.S.zip file.
So my full Rom upgrade should be:
1 full wipe (means: wipe data / factory reset and format /system)
2 install Slim 4.3 ROM
3 install Slim 4.3 gapps
4 Reboot
5 install Busybox to /system/xbin
6 Reboot to recovery and install the BM.Tweaks.NEXUS.S.zip file
7 install LagFix & Greenify (for reference. they should auto-install for me through the play store)
Anyone think the above process is in the wrong order or any parts are a bad idea or clash with each other?
Cheers for all the tips guys, this is feeling like a pretty useful thread!
i have been using xposed framework and i wonder what if i just keep my phone rooted and stock and just install framework and tweak it the way i want about lock screen , navigation bar etc, what extra advantage these roms will give me , just asking

Right, i mean the question is kinda moot anyway if you're rooted you might as well flash a rom and kernal or just stay with a stock rom.
Honestly this really is a question you need to ask yourself. If having Xposed is able to give you everything you need then stick with it. One thing custom can give you over Xposed mods is the ability to have modifications or fixes to the core of android. For example in the past issues present in the stock Nexus roms have been fixed and released in custom roms before google was able to push out an update to resolve it. Also many more performance enhacements can be done. such ans refactoring code or out right removing uneeded functions. But in the end honestly it just comes down to what works for you.

I prefer using CM or other ROMs because I think there are a lot of other benefits (many more options, possibility to easily change some apps, init.d scripts, Free and OpenSource, possibility to recompile it, etc.).
But if you want to use only the Stock rom with Faux Kernel, you can already change a lot of parameters with Performance Control app (or FauxClock or many other apps like this one).
Also I think that now, it's easier to enable some mods/tweaks by using XPosed framework

Hi,
My brother has some issues with his phone (Moto G 2013, not dual SIM, not 4G) in the last time. The phone is quite unstable, so I recommended him to flash custom recovery, and eventually custom ROM.
The question is which one? This is not ROM vs ROM thread. I do not wont to compare ROMs. Just aks people for they personal experience. If anyone could recommend a stable (his/her personal opinion.) ROM, or comment lolipop, should I got for Kit Kat ROM or Loli (He still hasn't received the OTA update to Lolipop.).
I have tried to research a bit and find out for my self what would be the best option for him, but the task is not so simple, and pretty time consuming. Strange how everything, from rooting to flashing seem so complicated when one looks at the forum, when one actually only has to unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash recovery, and flash the ROM of personal choice (Here I need a bit help : )).
I hope the question is ok, if not... sorry in advance.

I really didn't expect to find so many xposed modules in so good shape so fast! And you mean they all work, even gravity box!
Regarding stability, I have found many people complain even about official OTA updates. My brother also has serious stability issues with offices stock original, not rooted ROM on his Moto G, so stock doesn't always has to mean stability. People often root and start using custom ROMs because issues with stock.
But that's another story ☺. Thank you very much for your recommendation and very useful input. You have saved me a lot of hours of reading mostly useless stuff. I will definitely make make him flash what you recommended ☺. He was a bit afraid first when he found our he is losing his warranty when he applies for a device number, for unlocking the bootloader, but I remind him that his warranty is anyway not valid any more, and now we are about to proceed with unlocking, flashing TWRP, and this Lolipop ROM you recommended.

If you want half-bleeding edge ROMs than Dirty Unicorns is quite good with a big load a custom tweaks HOWEVER, I found resource management (RAM mostly) on Dirty Unicorns was . . . less than satisfactory and battery life was average-not great. If you want an up-to-date and almost-as-many-tweaks-as-dirty-unicorns then Exodus is the way to go Rock solid, fluid and quite compatible with custom kernels.
Oh, and about kernels. I cannot recommend ZERO Byte kernel enough. Great battery life, even with slight overclock (meaning better performance) and supports underclock (battery save 2 extreme!)
If him want a stock like and rock stable try AOSP+OMS.
I have been running Paranoid Android 5.0.2 and keep having battery life issues. I have trimmed my apps down and even re-enabled the SystemUpdateService for the Google Play Framework which doesn't help. The service also keeps automatically being disabled. Another issue I have is lack of xPrivacy on this version in addition to various OS 'quirks'.
What is the recommended 5.1 ROM for this device that does work with the newer versions of xPosed/xPrivacy?

AFAIK all ROMs work with Xposed except TeamEOS (bootloop) and Temasek (you need a modified version of Xposed). Xprivacy works well now on 5.1.

Is there a recommended ROm that does not add much bloat to the stock OS? That is why I chose Paranoid to start with. It is not stock but yet doesn't add a bunch of unnessesary things.

Try by yourself. Screenshots are useless as long as you know what are the main features. You can apply layers or themes (ROM related) if you want custom UIs.
