[Q] best root apps? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so after a really long time, i finally rooted and put a custom rom on my nexus 5.
i'm pretty sure i missed a lot - so what are the best rooted apps that i can get? the last time i had a custom rom was with a nexus s and xposed was the real deal :silly:

It depends on your needs. I would suggest Titanium Backup, Synapse, some Xposed modules, OS Monitor, SD Maid, Turbo Editor, Viper4Android, ZipSigner...

Adaway. You don't say what rom you use. Lollipop based roms can't use xposed (

Maybe is not the thread to ask, but seeing that you have XPOSED working already, I wanted to know, how most of usual XPOSED mods are working for you? GravityBox and Tinted Statusbard for example, how are they working on your G3? I'm really used to them on my Nexus 5 and since I will probably get a G3 when an Internarional version is released in US I'm really interested in your answers!
Thanks!

gravitybox is working excellently , all my mods i used on the htc one m7 are running without issues. I cant say i ever used " Tinted Statusbard " before, but xposed misc modules / downloads searches works as you would expect, run the root method above, install xposed, and enjoy.
the one caveat i guess i should mention is that no custom recovery / backup has been run. So, install at your own risk,

Great! Thanks for answering!
I don't have a G3 yet so I guess by the time I get one there will be a custom recovery that works.
Thanks again!
Be getting my G3 in a week or so international version do you think this will work on international

Hi guy's
I just got my G3 yesterday and I want to root it but it's still currently on 4.4.2. Do you think it's worth just waiting for 4.4.4 and then rooting?
I can root using towelroot but it's not still possible to install a custom recovery... right?

Maybe the 4.4.4 update is a security****patch to block towelroot

What does ''untethered root'' means?
I have three questions to you guys who already rooted the G3 with towelroot:
Does a factory reset unroot the G3 again and makes possible to install OTA Updates again? How can I perfom the factroy reset without a custom recovery? Do I have to install SuperSU (or something equivalent) after using towelroot?

I'm new to LG devices and wasn't sure how to get OTA updates after rooting.

Xposed itself does not. The modules can make a difference.

No, not yet.

Would you rather use CM13 or Stock Android 5.1 with Xposed framework? Why?

Actually not more than the title says
A rom with XPosed working. Unfortunately, the battery in CM is too weak to run without the needed XPosed modules for me.
I'd use CM13 once it becomes stable. I've been watching the CM13 thread and so far the development is pretty good. Imo I feel it might be a lot better than CM12.1 in terms of battery life.

Hello guys, I just got my moto g3 (xt1550) on 21st and i unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and rooted it the same day
I installed busybox, viper4android, terminal, and adaway (though i removed it the same day as it affects developers money). Can you guys please suggest me some essential rooted/unrooted apps for this device?
I'm currently using stock ROM but couldn't keep my hands off the features of a custom one. I want to try all the ROMs but I'm on a vacation so limited bandwidth here. Pls suggest me a custom ROM and kernel too.
Thank you for bearing this long post.
Two of the first things I install after root is Titanium Backup and Xposed. With Xposed I then install Greenaway and Gravitybox modules.

Am I doing something wrong? I downloaded the latest apk from it's website.
You need to flash in recovery the latest version, xposed-v79-sdk22-arm.zip I think, then boot into system and install Xposedinstaller-3.0-alpa4.apk

hi mate, can you please guide me?
I'm rooted but cannot flash exposed. I used flahfire more than once, it works, then device reboots, when starting it optimizes all apps. then I install xposed installer and when I open it it says framework it's not installed.
I' m using xposed V79 sdk 21 arm, I suppose it's the right one..
thank you in advance

install exposed installer first then flash the zip, if installer isn't installed then the framework zip won't install, yes that's the correct zip.

Hello,
i know, nobody wants to handle this mobilephone anymore. Wrong.
I do.
I just found this CM 12.1 Its based on Android 5.1.1 and it works on my phone.
Here is the original link: http://netmagie.blogspot.com/2016/12/vodafone-smart-prime-6-vn-895f-unbrick.html
I reuploadet it to my googledrive, because this filehoster on this site sucks.
mfg Fynn
Is there any new custom ROM that is at least based on Android v7.0 or higher? There are too many apps that don't support Android 5 anymore.
