A few years ago I was a rooting and roaming addict. Now I have a rooted phone for the first time in forever. I have installed xposed and LG tweaksbox, so now what?

I've changed a few settings with tweaksbox but I'm wondering what else I can do with xposed. What other modules are good to download? Any other good tweaks to do?
 
More than you can imagine:

[INDEX] Xposed Modules Collection | Post Mod… | Xposed General | XDA Forums

Just don't go overboard. Not all modules are completely stable, and using two modules that over lap in what they try to control can cause problems. Think about what you really need, and add only one module at a time and run with that configuration for a while before trying another one.

I'm still waiting for my gosh-darned G3 to arrive, so I can't be specific about this phone yet, but on my GS3 I'm running:

Complete Action Plus
Disable Full Screen Keyboard
FakeID Fix
Greenify (which only requires Xposed for a few functions. It works fine without it)
Pin Notifications
Play Permissions Exposed
Wakelock Terminator
xPrivacy
Xposed Torch

I'm also running Wanam, but that's Samsung specific, and similar to Tweakbox.
 
I found a cool module that have me Android L software buttons. But I'm still playing around.
 
What do some of these do? I already have greenify.

Google for more detail, but:

Complete Action Plus - replaces the default "What app do you want to use for this" prompt with a customizable one, and eliminates having to choose "just this time" over and over again.

Disable Full Screen Keyboard - In landscape mode, many keyboards take up the entire screen, so you can't see the input field you're typing into. This fixes that problem.

FakeID Fix - Fixes the FakeID security vulnerability that exists in Android



Pin Notifications - Let's you "pin" a notification to the notification shade so you can't accidentally swipe it away. Let's you "save" a notification for later when you can't act on it right now.

Play Permissions Exposed - A few months ago the Play Store stopped showing detailed information on the permissions apps request, lumping them into big buckets. Most apps now show only "needs no special permissions." This undoes that, so you can see, for example, that flashlight app you're about to download requests internet permission and a bunch of other things.


Wakelock Terminator - This is complicated. But basically it lets you prevent certain specific wakelocks from occurring when the screen is off. Some wakelocks, especially those tied to Google's location services, fire way too often, and prevent your phone from going into deep sleep, causing increased battery usage.

xPrivacy - Lets you, on an app by app basis, control the permissions and activities an app uses. Don't want your flashlight app accessing the internet? Turn it off. Don't want some apps to know your location? Mask it. Etc.

Xposed Torch - Flashlight. Turn it on by holding the volume up key when the screen is off. Turn it off by pressing vol down or turning the screen on.

What do some of these do? I already have greenify.
