What's Moto-Lite?

Moto-Lite is an entirely stock-based Motorola ROM, with performance optimizations, systemless root, and some moderate debloating. This ROM is intended to give users a clean, slimmed down stock experience -- via a TWRP flashable installer.

By proceeding further, you are assuming full responsibility for your device. Although this ROM has been thoroughly tested, I assume no liability in the event you damage your device or otherwise render it inoperable. Follow the simple instructions and things should go smoothly.

PREREQUISITES:

Per the general rule of thumb, you will need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery such as TWRP. I recommend using the most current official TWRP build from here: https://dl.twrp.me/clark/

In order to circumvent force encryption during installation, you will need external storage such as a microSD card or an OTG USB storage device. (The /userdata partition must be formatted prior to installation; hence, all files and data stored on your device will be erased.) If you do not have, or do not wish to use, an external storage medium, alternative install instructions have been provided, for which you will need a PC or laptop computer and a good quality micro USB to USB syncing/charging cabke

NOTE: The below instructions assume that your device's firmware has been updated to the NPHS25.200-23 firmware build. It is also assumed that your device's modem/baseband version is M8992_1255331.29.01.88.09R SUPER_NA (the most current version).

Instructions for installation are outlined under two separate headings: A. INSTRUCTIONS - STANDARD INSTALL, which apply to users who have an external micro SD card or an OTG supported external storage medium; and B. INSTRUCTIONS - NO EXTERNAL STORAGE, which should be used by those who do not have, or do not wish to use, a micro SD card or an OTG supported external storage device. For the latter you will need a laptop or computer and a good quality micro USB to USB syncing cable, for transferring the ROM zip file to your phone during the process

A. INSTRUCTIONS - STANDARD INSTALL:

1. Download the ROM zip from the below link and save it to external storage;

2. Boot your device into TWRP recovery mode;

3. On the TWRP home screen, select WIPE and choose the option to format data. Select WIPE again, then ADVANCED WIPE, and wipe System and Cache;

4. Select INSTALL, select the ROM zip, and commence installation;

5. Once the ROM is installed, the installation script will patch the stock boot image via Magisk v20.4-Stable to enable systemless root. BusyBox v1.31.1 static binaries will also be installed;

6. Reboot your system once the installer indicates finished. During the first boot, it is completely normal for a single boot loop to occur. This will not occur on subsequent boot-ups;

7. Once you complete initial device setup, open the Magisk Manager app and install any updates or any additional runtime steps that may be required. The app will display prompts for any necessary actions on your part;

8. Enjoy & profit...

B. INSTRUCTIONS - NO EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICE

1. Download the ROM zip from the below link and save it to your computer;

2. Boot your device into TWRP recovery mode;

3. On the TWRP home screen, select WIPE and choose the option to format data. Select WIPE again, then ADVANCED WIPE, and wipe System and Cache;

4. Transfer the ROM.zip the file from its saved location on your computer to the now-formatted internal storage directory on your phone (via a micro USB to USB syncing/charging cable);

5. Reboot Recovery;

6. Select INSTALL, select the ROM zip, and commence installation ;

7. Reboot your system once the installer indicates finished. During the first boot, it is completely normal for a single boot loop to occur. This will not occur on subsequent boot-ups;

8. Once you complete initial device setup, open the Magisk Manager app and install any updates or any additional runtime steps that may be required. The app will display prompts for any necessary actions;

8. Enjoy & profit...

At the time I cooked up this ROM, the latest stable Magisk version was v20.4, so my systemless root installer encompassed within the ROM installer employs Magisk v20.4 stable. After installing the ROM, booting up and completing initial setup, open the Magisk Manager app to update Magisk to the most current version.

THANK YOU:

Thanks to the amazing @osm0sis for his static BusyBox binary installer. And many thanks to @topjohnwu, the genius developer and creator of Magisk. Huge thanks to @pitflyer, who gave feedback and input on methods of install, and who revisited and outlined the steps for an alternative installation without using a micro SD or OTG supported storage device.

Thanks to @sd_shadow for his input and guidance on installation.

BUGS:

Since this ROM is based entirely on an official Motorola stock firmware build, no significant bugs or instabilities should be expected. I have tested this ROM thoroughly after performing some optimizations (RAM, I/O Schedule tweaks. Entropy tweaks, etc.), moderate debloating and Magisk installation. I have noted no remarkable bugs, instabilities or performance flaws. However, please leave a comment in the event you discover flaws or bugs. I will look into the issue and try to resolve it. If possible, submit a bug report. Otherwise, list as much detail and specifics as possible regarding the issue.
