Introduction

This ROM is based on eskamhl's Marshmallux v2.0 and the biggest credit goes to it's creator - Thank You. My work is taking debloating to the extreme and leaving only what's really essential for the ROM to work and serve as a daily driver. The main aim is removing as much intrusive apps and services as possible and make Android more privacy-friendly. I have made similair ROMS for Moto E and Moto G (both 1st gen) in the past and used both without any serious issues and got pretty decent battery life as a nice and useful side effect (up to 4 days on one charge with Moto G and 9 days with Moto E - mind that I'm not a "power user"). Before you install this ROM on your device please read the list of removed stuff, because something you find essential could be missing. Please also mind that you will ned to setup your MXP manually with ADB as there's no Setup Wizard to do it for you.


Disclaimer

Even if everything works 100% fine for me I take no responsibility for anything that happens to anyone else's device after flashing my ROM. If you want to try it, do it on your own risk. Always backup your data.

Added items

- Hacker's Keyboard
- Nova Launcher

build.prop:

#USB debugging lock bypass
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

Removing these lines after installing and setting device up is strongly advised as they add peristent ADB debugging that could be used to break into your phone


Flashing

1. Boot into TWRP
(2. Backup)
3. Format data (Wipe>Format data>yes)
4. Transfer ROM to SD card/Local storage/USB OTG
5. Wipe>Factory reset
6. Install
7. Reboot

The ROM comes with Chainfire's SuperSU v.2.62-3 that may not work for everyone. I had to flash v.2.71 to get root access

When the installation completes you'll find there's no Setup Wizard, and some important UI components (Home button, Notifications, Quick Settings) are blocked. There's also no access to Developer's Options. Don't worry - they're normally being unlocked after you're done with Setup Wizard but since it's not there you need to do it manually:

1. Open ADB terminal on your computer
2. Connect your device
3. Execute the following commands:

Code:

adb shell
su
settings put global device_provisioned 1
settings put secure user_setup_complete 1
reboot

Your device is now set up and ready. It's also a good moment to remove persistent ADB debugging from build.prop.


Bugs

Please report


Life after Google

You can try using Micro GmsCore to access Play Store content, and here are some alternatives:

1. Interesting and useful apps in F-Droid store:

- Adaway (system-wide ad blocker)
- AFWall+ (very nice firewall. I use it in whitelist mode because it blocks internet access to all apps by default)
- Etar (calendar. Won't work without Google calendar service and account)
- K-9 mail (bit ugly but awesome mail client)
- Open camera (stock camera replacement)
- Wifi automatic (turns wifi off when you lock the screen which saves battery and improves security. Bugged a little and randomly disables wifi from time to time)
- SMSsecure (messaging app with encryption)
- 920 Editor (text editor)
- Document Viewer (self explanatory)
- Network Log (self explanatory)

2. Other interesting and useful apps around the web (mostly on XDA):
- ApkTrack (app updates tracker),
- Calc+ (calculator),
- CoolTool (CPU and RAM usage and other info display),
- DejaOffice (office app that looks a bit outdated, but it's the only calendar app to work without Google services I found so far),
- Disconnect.me (private web searches; the app FC right after starting it, probably due to lack of Google search services available)
- DriveDroid (turns the phone into Linux live USB),
- ES File Explorer (file explorer),
- Firefox (web browser),
- Gravity Screen (Turning screen off and on without using physical power button),
- Greenify (apps hibernator),
- KWGT (custom widget maker),
- LiveBoot (Chainfire's app that replaces boot animation with system log display),
- maps.me (open source google maps alternative),
- MiXPlorer (file explorer),
- MoboClean (permissions manager),
- Naked Browser (web browser),
- NetGuard (no-root firewall),
- NeutriNote (notes),
- Nova Launcher (launcher)
- Open Camera (same as F-Droid app),
- Parasol (community based permission manager),
- PryFi (WiFi security),
- QuickPic (gallery),
- Recently ("close all apps" button in recents window),
- Recordr (sound recording app),
- Servicely (services management. Think twice before installing and using it - developer's G+ site, developer's APKMirror downloads
- SD Maid (cleaning tool),
- Super Backup (apps, sms, call logs, etc. backup),
- Titanium Backup (data backup),
- True phone (dialer),
- VLC (media player),
- WifiKill (WiFi killer),
- Wifi Protector (WiFi security, anti-wifikill),
- Xposed
