Rooted - Now What?

[Sapient]

For those of you who have rooted, what have you done with it? I'm not interested in flashing any ROMs yet.

I've installed Auto Hide Soft Keys.

What else is fun, cool, vital, or helpful?

 

[Sapient]

I also like the LMT Launcher. I'm using Auto Hide Soft Keys to supress the soft keys, and LMT Launcher (V2.0 RC5) for navigation.

Here are some of my must-have root apps. Links are in the app's title.

Xposed Framework - Allows a lot of modifications and customization.
G2 Xposed - Performs G2-specific tweaks to your phone after installing the Framework file above.
Greenify - Allows you to hibernate apps that would otherwise stay running and draining battery.
AdAway - Gets rid of advertisements system-wide, including in-browser.
CacheCleaner - Clears cache files. Do not install the newer version of this app. This version is a simple one-tap solution.
Titanium Backup - You can backup your APKs and freeze or uninstall bloatware.
Flashify - If you ever want to install custom recovery or get into flashing ROMs, this app will make it a simple process.

If you are talking about the video on the Auto Hide Soft Keys page, he has a tutorial for it. Nexus 4 - My Setup V3 - Tutorial - YouTube

Good list.
Id also recommend ROM manager and xblast tools for xposed.

No, Titanium backup should be fine

+1 on Greenify... Helps save my battery! especially since Facebook is a battery hog

Make a backup!! with custom recovery TWRP or CWM.

Get iFont which will give you A LOT more choices for system fonts when you're in the mood to change things up. Very very simple to use. I love Bauhaus.

I like it a lot!
Purchased the donate version to support the dev.
Already using the "Lato" font.
I have a feeling I am going to like this app a lot
Thanks again!

I'm glad you like it, I love that app as I just change my font to whatever my mood is telling me (but I do have my favorites Bauhaus and Caviar). Also check this out: DroidViews | Make Your LG G2 Perform Faster by Fixing Lag Issue

Just did this also.
Thanks again!
My G2 was already lighting fast but tweaks to make it even faster are always welcome.
