I am new to using Xposed and so far moving what I have figured out. In was curious to know what modules I should be running. I am Stock Rooted with no custom rom or anything. Thank you for any and all input.

What device are you using? As far as module's that depends on the device and what you want to be able to do.

What modules I Use
I have stock 4.3 Samsung ROM Note3, rooted.
I use "GravityBox" for most of my UI tweaks, with "Wanam Xposed" for more Samsung specific (like don't show NFC icon), Samsung keyboard extended symbols.
I love "App Settings" to set apps like: Gmail, Email, Chrome, Firefox into tablet mode with smaller font size, love Gmail app with tablet mode on the Note3.
I Use "NFC LockscreenOff" to get custom Tasker tasks being passed NFC tag information, even when the screen is off, to unlock my phone by tapping my wallet (contains an NFC Visa credit card).
"Greenify," for managing misbehaving apps.
"BootManager" even though I can probably get away with not using this, I still like it the most to select apps not to start at boot time (I see you Facebook).
Just the main Xposed modules I use, hope it gives you a few ideas.

I thought GravityBox was only for AOSP ROMs... We're touchwiz. I used it and loved it on my S3 running cyanogenmod11 (kitkat)... but I only use Wanam on my Note 3. There are overlaps in the mods between GB and Wanam... so if you have both installed, be careful.
I'd like to add snapshare and keepchat to the list of xposed modules, assuming you use snapchat. snapshare and fxguru (play store) are a good combo... I love sending my snapchat friends of dinosaurs walking through my yard, or aliens landing in the parking lot at work.

You are right, there is overlap and GravityBox is for ASOP, but I like the favorite application launcher (which can be accessed as an action of GravityBox) and a few other features of GravityBox (JB).

Has anyone installed the nexus one browser, contacts, calendar, and launcher on their tablet? Basically, I hate all of the Samsung Apps and want a plain froyo rom. I'm willing to install packages from my nexus one until I find the time to build one...

You should be able. I installed the calculator apk from my nexus one into my tab, cause the euro Rom didn't come with one installed, and it works without an issue.

I've been wondering the exact same thing (minus the launcher - I'm using adw since that's what comes in CM for my N1). Since it's barely been a week since purchase, I'm still a little afraid to start pulling apks over to try it out.
I tried, but I get a "replacing system package" warning, then the install fails. I tried this with my tab rooted and unroored

I think the nexus stock browser is a lot faster and more stable then the stock browser on the tab. I tried pushing over the browser.API from the nexus. But unfortunately everytime I start the browser it immediately closes. I just wanna try it out and see ignite any better.

I am using ADW Launcher instead of Samsung Launcher and DialerOne for the dialer but I am missing the simple calculator that was on my CM 6 Nexus One.
Samsung apps are just ugly.
Not 100% sure, but some apps are dependent on the framework of the rom. You can't simply start swapping things out. Contacts and dialer are one of those things. A lot of applications rely on other things that's why they won't work. Once someone cooks up an AOSP rom for us then we can start tinkering in the world of Vanilla...
I'll gladly support someone porting over Cyanogen mod.
Youlu address book, miren browser, launcher pro, half way there already!
I have installed Calculator.apk from CyanogenMod 6.0, it works fine.
I tried to install Music.apk from CM 6.0 but it is blocked by crappy Samsung's MusicPlayer.apk. So I used TitaniumBackup to remove MusicPlayer. Then after reboot it still did not like it, because it seems Music.apk contains native code. So I tried Music.apk from beta CM 6.1 for Galaxy S and it installed just fine. Unfortunately it doesn't show music controls on the lockscreen so it must be a function of the lockscreen. So it is not better than Music Mod.
I would recommend everyone looking for vanilla music app to use Music Mod from the market.
Hey. I think my question is mostly around locking down apps somehow.
I have an N7 and i want to be able to give it to girls when they come over to play games, browse the web, Facebook etc.. Can anyone recommend the best way to hide all my stuff? I wanna load it with tonnes of games (all the stuff i bought but never played) but still have an app or two on there for me. Evernote, gmail etc.
I have chameleon and nova launchers, figured in nova i can hide apps but they can just be shown again via the options menu.. There's no password option.
Im running stock jb, rooted.
My only other thought is to manually backup>verify>uninstall via titanium apps like Gmail, then manually restore when i want them??
I searched for app lockers but most seem to be poorly maintained / aren't compatible with jb or are easily bypassed by the recent menu..
Does anyone have any suggestions for a device i can safely share with other people?

This is why I like Go Launcher:
It has a Running Apps section in the App Tray
You can hide apps
You can lock the desktop (nice for kids so they don't screw up your mojo)
While I don't personally use Go Launcher, it is pretty high in features and functionality. It has folder support in both the App drawer and desktop, themeable, and attractive. Sure you CAN unlock apps through options, but they'd probably never find it.
Somewhere I saw a profile manager where you could setup different users with different launchers, wallpapers, and apps. Might be worth checking out.
Go launcher also collects more data than it needs.
Remember CIQ? Yeah like that...

Yeah profile management would be perfect, like a login on a PC.. there was some mention of google getting a patent for this based on face recog but.. I might do a search to see if there is secure profile management somewhere..

You can try app protector apps. You can lock it down with a pin

I would try a Profile Manager, one for kids/missus, one for you.
Then you can easily switch between them as and when you need.
ZDBox has an app locker which seems to do the job for me.

Yet to try those apps but so far the best solution I've found is to "freeze" the apps in Titanium Backup
It moves the links from the launcher.. every launcher, as if they arent there at all.
There seems to be a batch defrost/unfreeze option, but I'm not sure if theres an easy way to re-freeze a set of apps..
Not sure if titanium backup has a PIN / password option though.. but it would be complicated for a non-tech user to figure out how to unfreeze apps in Titanium Backup..
You could try SwitchMe. It basically reboots the tablet when you switch users. Each user can have their own apps, etc.
App lock could be worth a look.
Freezing in titanium is my solution and works great for that purpose unless she's an android nerd and you pissed her off enough for her to install titanium and thaw out your frozen apps.

Hey lads,
Going to have this phone soon and haven't yet found a reason to go rooting/custom rom rout, As it seems, it's quite well cooked as it is. So i'm wondering what are the Reasons you guys rooted your phones?
Can't you get that hide nav bar without root? and xposed framework work without root? We got some neat statusbar icon sets out and need rooting?
some other reason you had to root and 'void warrancy'?
The two reasons I did it on Verizon are for Greenify, and to enable free wifi tethering.
Here are my reasons:
Custom DPI to use with Action Launcher.

There are several useful apps that require superuser privileges. As far as I know one must root the phone to install and enable superuser.
Adaway and xposed framework with app settings and xprivacy.
Smaller navigation keys for WAY more screen real estate. Camera improvements. Debloated. These are a few so far. Here's a pic of the nav buttons.

Bloatware and Carrier IQ removal, Wi-Fi tethering on unlimited data plan, Xposed framework and various modules for it, essential root apps like AdAway, Root Explorer and Titanium Backup, Custom recovery with Nandroid backup functionality, ViPER4Android Audio Affects,... and list goes on and on. But most important benefit of all is that root access gives you freedom to do whatever you want with your device.
ROMs
I like rooting so I can install twrp and run aosp software. Cm alpha now.
Firewall
The phone came finally.
Had it for 30min's and couldnt resist rooting. Still on Stock rom but modified some.
My steps if anyone is wondering why and how,
1. Install root thread.
2. install TWRP thread easy method
And your all set. Take a TWRP backup from your phone, and you're safe to start tweaking.
Things i did,
1. Installed my favorite apps, titanium backup, romtoolbox and bbs etc... changed dpi and did backups.
1. Xposed+App Settings to get camera and msg apps back to 480 ( Using 360 dpi systemwide )
2. Xposed xprivacy (really liking this) for handling apps and what they can do. Found inside xposed on modules list.
3. Bought GMS autohide soft keys root from google play, seems like a godsend. Found on google play store.
4. Allso bought g2 xposed mod from play store for nice black statusbar. found on google play store.
Next in project list is to clear bloatware and find some nice status bar icons or autohide statusbar that works with stock rom.

Of you find a proper auto hide statusbar solution let me know. The best i came up with is forcing full screen in most apps with xposed app settings and putting a nova shortcut of "expand statusbar" into swipepad. Works but is too laggy now and then.
If you haven't got a firewall but want one take a look at afwall+ by the way. Easy setup and high practicability due to different profiles. If you got apps you don't want to completely deny Internet with xprivacy you can deny it at certain times with afwall+
What apps do you use the most on your Note 3..
File Manager
Terminal Emulator

ES File Explorer. Stock file manager doesn't remember scroll position, which is far from amusing if you have 2648 files to review in one folder.
Diceplayer + VLC + MX Player. If one can't run it, the rest can.
Firefox+Adblock plus +quit. Ahhhhh, no ads!
Sketchbook (pre-installed). I bought it for my previous phone, which is now making my wallet a bit irritated.
Zooper Widget. Best. Widget. Ever.
Procapture+Snapseed. That stock camera is a nightmare once you get used to a DSLR. What do you mean, there is no manual mode?!!
Smart IR Remote. Because WatchON keeps running in the background, only works on a tv, is meant for US users, and the puns were getting a little detrimental to my continued existence. (Mate of mine is called Alan Watson. :silly: )
Moon+ reader. Best Ereader app, by far. (I don't do DRM, sod off Google Play Books.)
Perfect Viewer+pdf plugin. This screen is great for reading comics!
MapsWithMe Pro. No irritating location services demands, no overobsessive americans logging every step you take, no powerhungry background processes that keep running, and best of all: no roaming! Plus literally everything is on there, even individual trees and powerlines. Also, it has maps of Europe that are not 12 years old!
EWeather HD. Finally, one with a European weatherprovider! I got a little tired of New York telling me the weather in Rotterdam: "it will be a sunny something-fahrenheit today!" Except for the bit where it rains cats and dogs, and we don't use fahrenheit.
Quickpic. Obvious.
Officesuite Pro. Again, obvious.
Realcalc. Smart Tools. Unit Converter Plus. Swiftkey.
That should be it.

Liking the phone so far after owning the OnePlus One then the Two. Thought for the same price, the value of the Axon was several times better off.
But. But the biggest pet peeve. No option to switch to on screen soft keys. To make matters worse, the non lit capacitive ones.
So, question remains, anyone tried to install the framework and installed Gravity box or something?
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yes, there are guides on the forums for how to install Xposed. However, I and a couple other individuals have bricked our devices playing around with Gravitybox; you should make a backup before messing with anything regarding Gravitybox.
GravityBox in combination with heavily modded (by ZTE) ROMs is always risky. GB has a big warning agianst using it on non-stock or stock-ish roms
I used Gravity box for 3 things and had no issues:
1) Circle battery icon
2) Center clock (in status bar)
3) Re-orientate volume controls according to how the device is being held
Like I said, I had no issues whatsoever, but that's all I used.
Yep, Xposed is working great. Modules I am using are:
AcDisplay, Adblocker, App Settings, GravityBox, Snapprefs (the updated one), and XGPM to customize Google Music.
Not all options function on each mod, especially GravityBox, but the ones that didn't, did not have a negative effect on anything, they simply didn't work.
In my opinion there is no reason to not use Xposed. I am not having any device slowdown or lag issues like on other devices either.

I used Xposed for about a week. I disabled it because I tweaked something in gravitybox that gave me a bootloop (make sure you have the uninstaller zip on your phone just in case!), the phone was noticeably faster. There is a delay when you open apps with Xposed installed even without any modules active that isn't there without Xposed. I've seen this on my oneplus one, nexus 6, Nexus 6p, moto x pure, and now the axon 7. That's about the only issue with Xposed, though, so if you don't mind slightly slower app opening, it opens up a lot of customization. Personally, I go back and forth.

It doesn't break root, but it does make changes to the system partition, and is therefore no longer "systemless".
