Stock Debloated Oreo - Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De

About this project
These are debloated stock roms based upon stock Oreo. These should be treated as a custom ROM that happens to be just like stock, just slimmer
Changes from stock
Removed a number of system and privileged apps to reduce the download size from 1.4GB to approx 0.9GB
dm-verity and forced encryption are disabled (encryption will still work if you choose)
A few tweaks here and there
Does not come with firmware (i.e. the modem partition, etc)
Does not erase modemst1/2 partitions (i.e. your EFS)
Removed boot animation (as of 85-17-2 build)
As this does not include the firmware, it should be treated like every other custom ROM out there that is based off the Oreo blobs:
Clean flash and boot into full stock Oreo at least once to ensure your system is fully working
If you have flashed someone else's persist, make sure to use TWRP flashable Soak Test 1
You can use the TWRP flashable builds here: Potter Oreo TWRP Flashable Builds
Downloads
All builds are available in the following location:
Android File Host
The latest build is based upon the February 2019 security patch version of stock, OPSS28.85-17-6. Direct link:

Apps that I thought about removing but have kept in
Chrome - you generally need to have a browser for many things to work. Setup wizard and adding accounts will fail if Chrome is not present (confirmed).
MotoSignatureApp - Moto Display tends not to work properly (e.g. pick up to display notifications)
Messages - Generally you want to have an SMS app
Apps I've added in
F-Droid and its privileged extension (think something like Play Store but does Open Source only)
Google Dialer Framework, allows you to use the Google Dialer without errors or warnings
These lists are subject to change over time.

Dialer lag problem
Can you find a replacement for the dialer app? Everytime I open the dialer app there is always a 1-2 second delay! Problem is common with all moto phones with oreo! Is there any fix?

Why don't you replace the apps by Google LLC that you chose to keep viz. Chrome and Messeges with the AOSP alternatives?
That would be better.
You can also include other Moto signature apps that are compatible but not included in the official stock ROM.
Keep up the good work

Hi, i have a question. The only problem i have in stock is about the glitch when i unlock the phone and i was in using the fingerprint like navbar.
The navbar do a flash when i unlock. In this rom this happens?

I haven't yet found which app is checking for official OTAs, but they wouldn't install. Once I work out (or if someone knows) which app it is, I'll remove it.

Good point, and I was thinking about that. I think that WebView is actually installed (unless I installed it through some other means without realising), but disabled. I'd have to try a clean flash with it removed to know for sure. In any case, it's not an actual web browser, just a 'framework'.
For Messages will consider that. Also since Google Photos is removed, might put in the AOSP Gallery app.
Not sure about the other Moto apps, the purpose here is to remove what isn't needed.

Haven't looked at that yet, but will see if I can integrate it.

I am not referring to Webview when I say AOSP browser. I am referring to the Android Browser. That's the browser app that used come with Kitkat if you can remember but I don't know whether it will be compatible.
I think Motorola Gallery is better than AOSP Gallery and Moto Suggestions can also be added to get Night Light feature that was not in official stock.
I don't know whether Moto Voice can replace Google Assistant but it's also worth a shot.
You can include these three after testing.
Except these three other Moto signature apps are not that great imo.

As this is based on official Oreo it will be present or not (I would think not as most users don't have the problem after a factory reset/ cache clean).
