[SCRIPT] NoMoto - Stock ROM Debloat Script (KitKat) topic

Motorola is pretty good about keeping their ROMs very close to AOSP but there is still a little bit of bloat that can be removed. User lost101 posted some zips that can be installed from a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM that can be used to remove the bloat on Moto G 2013 KitKat and Lollipop ROMs (you can find it here).

Unfortunately, you can't use his script as is for the Moto G 2014 KitKat ROMs. His script removes velvet.apk which causes the setup app to crash when you are first setting up your phone that prevents you from getting to the home screen. The reason is that these ROMs use the Google Now Launcher which depends on having velvet.apk in /system/priv-app. Aside from this, his original script does not remove the extra keyboards such as the Hindi and Korean ones.

So I've adapted his NoMoto v004 script for use by Moto G 2014 users (like me). Unfortunately, I don't have much time so I'm going to provide everything as is and I won't be able to provide much support. Fortunately, if you read the OP by lost101 (here it is again), you shouldn't have any problems.

What you'll need:
1. Stock KitKat ROM from Motorola (if you look at lost101's thread you will see that there are Lollipop scripts as well but I will not be providing one for you for the Moto G 2014).
2. Custom recovery to install the .zip (of course this means you will need an unlocked boot loader)

I'd recommend doing a Nandroid backup before proceeding. I would also recommend installing this zip right after a factory wipe and before you go through the setup but it should work even if you don't.

This is what lost101 has to say about what is being removed:

Quote:

These scripts will remove the bloat from Stock Motorola ROMs and Google Play Edition. Scripts can be run in Custom Recovery (CWM / TWRP) prior to first boot to avoid unnecessary setup and app updates. I have not experienced any force closing or obvious problems as a result of these scripts. Infact, theoretically; you should gain battery-life and performance by having less services running on your handset. Nandroid Backup before flashing recommended. Motorola apps can be reinstalled via Google Play Store.
