Ahhh what a relief!! Downgraded back to KitKat and is sure yummier than lollipop which is in my opinion the worest os Google released ever. What encouraged me was the support drop from Motorola regarding upgrading to Android M.
With lollipop I had all sorts of bugs
YouTube freeze, speaker crackling, huge battery consumption, app optimization at every reboot, and a general heat issue that I couldn't figure out.
Did I mention the cell standby battery drain?!!!
I hated the phone period.
This downgrade made me remember why I bought it in the first place.
All day battery (I also installed Qualcomm battery guru which is helping me, this is a 2 year old phone so expect a battery degradation)
Very smooth ui. No heat. No freakin cell standby issue. Oh and all black ui baby.
I didn't switch to another rom because I didn't want to lose moto features.
The only drawback from downgrading is that I am back to " OK Google now" instead of "okay tarz " on lollipop. Minor inconvenience to me
Oh by the way, the wave to unlock feature/ bug in KitKat is awesome.
I used this guide which is for xt1052 though I have the xt1053 . u will need an unlocked bootloader and a moto firmware.

Oh when you downgrad, don't update the moto update service from the play store or else your phone will start looking for the lollipop upgrade.
A final thought:
This is the last moto device I am buying. Don't like lenovo management and ditching all those who bought the x 2014 on Carriers from upgrading to M. I mean some of them bought the phone a few months ago and their bootloaders are locked. Bad move.
