Please stop compressing together different issues just to support your own world-view. The vast majority of people greatly benefit from customization of Stock and AOSP ROMs, that is why this forum exists.Now we are getting somewhere. There are issues cropping into the device and maybe you are correct. But I think that maybe a larger warning on the 1st post that these issues are beginning to appear might deter someone from doing this update and then not being happy. I have since downgraded my XT1045 back to the original version, however there is still the issue of the flicker. Yes, there is a work around, but a work around is not a solution. Right now, there does not seem to be a solution.
Again, I am not pointing fingers nor accusing anyone of wrong doing. Just that these issues are appearing and it is disheartening to have a perfectly fine phone stop being perfectly fine. The phone still works, data work, wifi works, I can make and receive calls. So other than kicking myself in the behind for not letting sleeping dogs lie, I kicked the dang dog and now regret it.
You are incorrect in your previous assertion that running any version of Android other than pure OEM Stock will be problematic. I have many years of experience with Motorola handsets and personally always run optimized Stock with no issues.
Regarding the 'optimizing apps' message; You could try deleting the following file in the optimized ROMs:
system/etc/init.d/darky_zipalign
Secondly, downgrading of Bootloader is extremely dangerous and usually impossible. You have correctly identified the Bootloader is causing your screen to flicker with certain Kernels. This is something that can be permanently resolved with a Kernel created to address the problem.
