New image with bloat removed

I've uploaded a second image with some bloat removed. This image boots faster, seems to run a little faster and has increased my usable storage space by 500mb. I've been running this image for a few weeks and everything works including 911.

All apps, even if frozen by Titanium Backup, have files in the Dalvik (Art) cache. Those files are stored in /data/dalvik-cache. Your internal storage is also in /data so any space saved anywhere in /data is available as Internal storage also known as sdcard. By removing some unneeded apps from the system image, the amount of space used in the dalvik cache is reduced and you may also be able to regain some space by manually deleting the folders for the removed apps in /data/app, /data/data, /sdcard/Android/data, and /sdcard/data.

This image has Xposed v65 so you need the Xposed installer alpha4 apk installed as listed in the first post. You must delete both directories in /data/dalvik-cache to get the space savings before flashing this image. It is wise to delete everything in /cache as well. Here is the link to the debloated image: XT1096_5.0-tether-root-bb-sqlite3-XposedV65-DeBloat.img.7z

The apps removed from the image are listed below. Apps with an * have been updated by the playstore or are available for installation from there. Any apps that you are using will remain since updated apps or those installed from the playstore are installed into /data not /system. You will not see any storage space savings from the debloated apps if you leave the updated versions installed. Any apps that have been updated that you're not using should be uninstalled in Settings -> Apps -> Downloaded after you flash this image (if you want to maximize your space savings.) Any apps in this list that don't have an * will be unavailable, so review the list in case you want Verizon or Motorola to still have the ability to remotely access or wipe your phone, etc. You can flash an image with everything included to restore all these apps if needed.
