If you hold volume up for 10-15 seconds then press power while still holding volume up, you get the stock recovery menu. I tried wiping cash with this and any other way possible and I can't get the pro and profile update to go away with custom a kernel.

I am aware of that but there's too many FCs when it comes to different things in the framework... Besides why would someone stay on stock when the purpose of unlocking the bootloader and then flashing the custom recovery gives us the ability to flash kick ass roms and kernels... Just my opinion but the only thing I've ever used your releases of stock deodexed for was as a base for making my own custom rom, I'm currently on Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 and is working like a charm :D

I have never had a force close while using Xposed. It is actually flawless. The reason I stay on stock is because everything works. There are no issues with gps, visual voicemail, audio, mms, etc. It just works perfectly. This device is fast enough for me using stock kernel. I absolutely appreciate that this device has so much support for custom roms, but all of them have some problem or are missing some function that I need or want. I hope that answers your question of why someone would stay on stock :)

While I can appreciate that when it comes to most things as far as stock is concerned but it is a known fact that some FCs do occur when using different modules in xposed and most of the time its with conflicting modules, trust me I used to be a big fan of xposed... Enough to know how it acts at different times with different things, I still use it on occasion for example right now I'm using it for the Pandora Patcher with the use of it on Pandora 5.5...

I only use GravityBox so I do not have any conflicts ;)

I use GravityBox, XBlast Tools, XuiMod, and others and if configured right, I rarely get forced closes. It's a little tricky to figure out what you can and can't do, but I have most mods available in any custom ROM, and great performance. Not saying I don't like or use custom ROMs, just not all the time.
 
Stock, xposed and GravityBox is the winner for me as well. It all just works, and I've yet to experience any force closes. I like some custom roms as well, but I always end up going back to stock shortly after installing them.

What is it about the VVM app that just cannot seem to work with custom roms anyway? This is the big killer for me when it comes to custom roms because I just cannot afford to miss important voice mail notifications, and who has the time in a day to check for voice mail every time they miss a call!

Otherwise most of the custom roms I like don't have issues that can't be fixed other than that.

I wish I knew why VVM does not work on custom roms since that is my main problem as well. Luckily stock on this device is very nice ;)

You will need to get the modem partition from the 4.4.2 device by using dd. The following command will grab it. Once you get it upload it and I will make a zip for you.
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem442.img

edit: It would not be a bad idea to get all the partitions from the 4.4.2 device that were updated while you are at it. We could have a proper downgrade package.
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl1 of=/sdcard/sbl1442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm of=/sdcard/rpm442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz of=/sdcard/tz442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fsg of=/sdcard/fsg442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sdi of=/sdcard/sdi442.img

Here you go :- https://www.dropbox.com/s/vhv09our2g3wkdl/Boost_moto_g_4.4.2_extracts.rar?dl=0

Extracted from working boost moto g on stock 4.4.2
 
Flashed 4.4.2 modem via DD , but still it shows as unknown. And no network
Only 4.4.4 shows signals.
So will wait for full package from SuperR.
@SuperR will request you to make zip for flashing with your 4.4.2 stock . or full one package as you wish.
 
Quick question, I flashed the rooted deodexed ROM, and every time I reboot now it goes through activating. Anyone else have this issue? In the process of setting up multiboot mod so trying to narrow down the issue.

It may be due to a custom kernel as suggested before. This does not happen to me on full stock 4.4.4.

If everything is working fine and you just want to skip HFA, go to system --priv-app--- and rename sprintOMADM apk and odex to anything you want.
 
Thanks, using motoboot from your zip, was able to boot to unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp,
now sending rooted 4.4.4 zip to sdcard thru ADB push.
hope to get my device running in few min.

Update :- after flashing motoboot 4.4.4 and twrp, was unable to flash4.4.4 rooted.zip
Had DD back my modem 444
then tried partition update 2 --successful
but was unable to flash 4.4.4 rooted zip.
then tried 4.4.2 de-odex and it went fine.
now I am on 4.4.2 with 4.4.4 modem.
will restore my twrp backup now..

Update :- TWRP restore went fine, flash PRL and Data settings and my moto g back to normal.
