Best tweaks, mods, rom and settings for XT1032

Hi all

so with the revival of my XT1032 i'm looking to return to using my beloved device.
I'm asking for you what do you recommend for a mixture of performance and battery life? Currently on stock lollipop

This could be:

• Roms


• tweaks (Xposed, kernels etc)


• settings ( i would ideally like to keep sync on)


• apps

It would be handy to have an amalgamation of what the forums idea's are
