After getting annoyed of rctd reducing performance on our devices and others lg's that didn't recieve a custom kernel to remove it,i decided to find a way to kill the rctd process and i created this method which terminates at every boot

Step 1. Download any script manager that runs at boot or create an init.d if your kernel supports it

Step 2. Use the command umount /persist,this will unmount the rct partition at each boot.

Step 3. Use The command pkill rctd and you will see that the rctd process is gone and it wont restart, and you will see no more stutter caused by the rctd.

Method Confirmed Working on:Lg l70 d325f8 4.4.2,needs testing on other devices and newer android versions.
