Hello guys, here i present you the stock droid maxx debloated of all garbage apk's




I did not modify any system files, just erased the verizon bloatware.

Everything works and has the same problems that stock has. (if Any)

Benefits:
  • Clean install as it should be
  • Bloatfree - Nexus Like
  • Faster Performance (no system apps running on background)
  • Everything Works (Active Display, Touchless Control, Nfc, etc)
  • No Annoying Verizon or Amazon Apps

This works with Droid Maxx, Droid Ultra And Droid Mini

Changelist:
  • Removed Wireless Charging Sound
  • Removed Ingress
  • Removed All apps Begging with VZW
  • Removed Hotspot Launcher
  • Removed all apps Beggining with Amazon
  • Removed NFL GAME
  • Removed Demo Mode
  • Removed Kindle App
  • Removed Myverizon app
  • Removed Vcast tone app
  • Removed all VZW apps
  • Removed VVM
  • Removed ECID (call id)
  • Removed internal folder motodemo
  • Removed xt926 Video from folder ETC
  • Removed Backup Assistant
  • Removed Folder of videos KnowYourDevice

For Comparison Purpouses The Original Stock Rom was 850Mb

This Debloated version its 611Mb

Thats 239Mb of Bloatware Removed, 28% of the system weight.

Any chance this might be doable for the Droid Mini? I'm assuming (yeah, I know) that if done it would be flashable on a current Mini with 4.4 (locked bootloader/unrooted) since it's still considered a "stock" 4.4. ROM?

Since the Mini only has 16GB (about 11GB usable at best) every little bit helps... ;)

How would you flash it with a locked bootloader and no root? You can't flash in stock recovery.

RSD Lite, perhaps? Honestly I didn't think about it at the time I made the post, having a "senior moment" I guess. Getting sick of flashing anything, actually. :p

this is intended to flash it on custom recovery with obvious rooted and unlocked bootloader, not on rsd lite.
i really wish you can flash it on a locked device.

Jaocagomez, are you using this ROM now? How much is the storage used by AndroidOS in "Settings->Storage". My phone is using 6.52GB, even its de-bloated (So I have converted many apps to system app to use the FREE debloated space). If yours is showing less usage (it must be) and you are NOT having any issues (even using as daily driver), then its one of the best stock based ROMs available here, imho.

Thanks...

The system partition is what it is. You can't adjust that. The 6.52GB is the same across all stock roms.

Dear akellar, Thanks for the info...

@ OP
Whether OTA is blocked in this ROM? I mean sir, have you removed MotorolaOTA or one such app too? As OTA will fail in this ROM right?

Thanks for this ROM, as it will save lots of time debloating, when we have to flash a stock 4.4 ROM.

Yes. To get OTA, we have to return to stock using rsdlite. and get ota.

Though OTA installation will fail, there is a chance to download the OTA, if we are less careful - which may lead to consumption of data. Thats why I have asked so.

May I request OP to remove MotorolaOTA apk files too in the next iteration (say for 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 in future), if its not going to be a tedious job. Hats off to you sir for your nice efforts. Sorry, if I said anything wrong or asked too much...

Just delete the apk yourself. Not hard at all.

Sorry for the noob sounding question, but what recovery would you recommend for this almost stock rom?

I have tried CWM - 6.26.6~ which was modified by another dev -
but it would not load this rom just got stuck in a boot loop -
did work with Cyanogen so not sure what the difference was, but they do not have a stable build for my
Moto Maxx Dev edition -


Any better suggestions for the recovery?

Thanks,

I am looking forward to a debloated 4.4 rom -

Is there anyway to disable the system update notification? I obviously can't take the OTA since I'm debloated.
not that i know, sorry.

Hello guys, im currently working on the debloated 19.6.3 but i need two things first:

a reliable place to upload it and...
people willing to test the most recent build without fear of experiencing some bug
