Introduction

This is XD rom. It's stock based and "XD" stands for extreme debloat, so that's what you get - stock stability and freedom from bloat and GApps.

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.

Description

Current version is based on XT1562, 24.107-52-5 European, single sim firmware (October 2016 security patch). Credits go to GtrCraft for TWRP flashable base.

Battery life

Standby time test

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- DejaOffice (office app that looks a bit outdated, but it's the only calendar app to work without Google services I found so far),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),

- 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

- OGYouTube - Youtube app alternative

You can find more interesting apps and links on this XDA forum

4. More security software - Secure Mobile Apps

5. XDA Labs (XDA app store)

6. Fossdroid.com - open source apps "store"

7. /r/Android App store - store with apps made by Reddit users. Mostly free
