It's been a while since the last big thread about this. Since then, Xposed has been updated to 5.0 (5.1 with the unofficial version). Many modules have been created, updated, or abandoned.
So let's hear what your favorite Xposed Modules are. (And if it's "GravityBox", please list at least one other module.)

A few of my favorite modules are ButteredToast, Complete Action Plus, Play Store Changelog, and Xposed Media Scanner Optimizer.
ButteredToast adds the app name to toast messages. Sometimes toast messages will appear at random times so this helps me know what app they come from.
Complete Action Plus lets me tidy up the share menu. No use in having it filled with apps that I don't share to.
Play Store Changelog lets me see an app's complete changelog automatically and I also use it to go straight to My Apps. I am much more likely to open the Play Store to check for app updates than search for apps.
And lastly there is Xposed Media Scanner Optimizer. It supposed to make the media scanner faster. I haven't thoroughly tweaked the settings though.

App ops. Use it to edit app permissions
Recently, MonsterUI.
Being stuck on KitKat (thanks Verizon), this takes care of all my aesthetic jealousy
Edit: XDA thread for people with questions and stuff

I've just tried it and I've got a noob question: why aren't we advertising it? why isn't it in its own sticky thread, and in the sidebar, and on the Times Square billboards?
If you have Xposed, chances are that you have an unlocked bootloader. Then why not flash a custom Lollipop ROM?
Haha no. It's much easier to find a root exploit on a bootloader-locked device than it is to find an exploit to actually unlock the bootloader.
Huh, I guess that having a Nexus doesn't give me much knowledge about other devices. What exploits are you talking about? For me, unlocking the bootloader wasn't difficult at all, the only downside is that I'd lose my data. Are other devices that don't actually want you to unlock it?
Nexus devices use "fastboot oem unlock" and it's done. For most other phones you need an unlock key which you can request from the manufacturer's website. They won't give you the key if you're on certain carriers like Verizon.
What the fuck? Is that even legal?
Yeah it's just part of the deal carriers make with the manufacturer.
Honestly I'm surprised that this is news to you... the difficulties of unlocking bootloaders on phones from US carriers is a pretty common complaint here and it's been going on for years.
Holy smokes, my phone is too old for Lollipop to run smoothly, but MonsterUI has everything from Lollipop that I've been wanting without having to install a new ROM. +1
Thanks SO much for bringing this into my life. I'm stuck with consumer cellular and they won't update my moto g to 5.0 I guess.
Does MonsterUI work on Oneplus One?
Im not sure. I have a note 2 and it works perfectly except for the lollipop style notification bar feature. My best advice would be check the XDA forum

Flat Style Keyboard is a amazing! I really can't use google keyboard without it. It even looks nicer than the standard material version.
MinMinGuard is a great ad blocker that takes out the ad, but also fills in the gap.
XInstaller is not a common module. It lets you make changes to package installer. You should NOT keep auto install on at all times. However is it good for checking version changes.
YouTube Background Playback is an amazing module to make playing videos in the background easy
Battery Shutdown Manager is your best friend if you need an extra minute to find a charger. The module manages to delay the shutdown process that android runs when you hit zero percent.
Would you say MinMinGuard is better than adaway?
It blocks ads in apps better than adaway. I sill use adaway with minmin
I can only find Youtube Adaway, not AdAway on it's own. Is it within the Xposed download section?
MinMinGuard is good for in-app ads. You'll still want to keep AdAway to block website ads though.
Does it block youtube ads?
I would suggest the separate YouTube AdAway module.
add this host http://adblock.mahakala.is/
i did and dont get ads in youtube
Physical Button Music Control. Simple, and allows me to use the buttons on my phone (volume, power, etc) to change media. One press then hold to pause, just hold to skip to next track, etc.
For those who don't have Xposed or even Root I can recomend Noyze app.
Noyze is removed from the play store though, so you'll have to find the apk somewhere else or use SoundHUD (which is the same thing, just renamed, with material design and minus the things that had Noyze taken down).
Useful addition.
Can't get it to work when Moon+ Reader Pro is open. Seems Moon+ overrides PBMC.
Setup I am using :
[deleted]
Greenify - Hibernate apps
Amplify - Disable services
Lolistat - Tint the status bar and navigation bar for apps that have not updated to include the tint. I find this works better than Flat Style Bars
SwipeBack2 - Swipe either the right or left side of the screen to go back in any app. This is developed by the same guy who made Lolistat so it works beautifully with it.
MinMinGuard - Remove ads from apps
Regarding swipeback2, how is this any different in functionality to the back button?
It adds the previous screen as a layer behind your current screen, so when you're swiping you can actually see what you're going back to - kinda like the Reddit Sync app. It allows you to decide whether or not you want to go back, and lets you keep context. It's hard to explain but once you start swiping to go back, you wouldn't want to use the back button at all - swiping seems so much more natural. This is also awesome if have a large device, you don't have to reach towards the bottom of your screen all the time.

Which apps do you change the dpi for?
Not OP, but I change the dpi of chatting apps mostly on my OnePlus One. Mainly whatsapp, hangouts, groupme and QQinternational. Having a different dpi gives more texts in view and since its a big screen, I'm still comfortable with the size. My system wide dpi is 440, with these apps at 420. Just for scale. I think the stock dpi is 480 on cm12
I don't know if this would be the place to ask, but... What is Xposed all about? To me it sounds like the Cydia equivalent for Android.. is that the case? If so, could I install it on my 2nd Gen Moto G with Lollipop 5.0.2?
[deleted]
Alright, sounds like something I'd like to get into, but I'll rather wait until it is completely stable.. Thanks!
Yes it's still alpha but it will work fine especially on your phone since it's near stock. If you already have root and custome recovery, head over here and flash xposed and install apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
power nap - get sony's endurance mode!
Power Nap stops all services/wakelocks/alarms from waking your phone, with the exclusion of apps you whitelist. That means you can keep Wi-Fi or data on, and still get notifications for the apps that matter, but everything else will be unable to wake your phone! Users have reported as low as 0.2%/hour battery drain during stand-by while using Power Nap!
Whats your experience with it? Does it really work?
[deleted]
I use the same module on my Z3, some kind soul compiled it for lollipop too on XDA
Blurred System UI just makes my phone feel like it's worth $100 more than I paid for it.
Just tried out YourTube and Keyboard Tinter and I'm really enjoying both.
Are people here running stock android rooted with xposed? I'm considering going back to stock from P.A. and run Xposed. Will this cause problems for me?
XVolume30 is convenient as hell since I fiddle around with the volume a lot when I listen to music.
Also, the Youtube Background Playback one is a must now that PVStar+ no longer works. It's very buggy, though.
GravityBox, Greenify, and YouTube AdAway are all I really need.
Xhangouts is pretty great
I haven't rooted my S5, but when I had the S4 my favourite one was Youtube Adaway
Screen Filter - Perfect for going below 0 brightness, I use my phone a lot at night, and this conserves battery while integrating perfectly into the pull down.
Alternate App Picker - eliminates a step when I don't want to pick a default app
Notification Thicker on Lollipop, XGels, Greenify!
I used notification ticker, I got really sick of heads up
YouTube Background Playback
Gravitybox ofcourse. ;) Furthermore Greenify, Acdisplay, xposedSpotify and Snapchatfullcaption.
My favorite combination is Immerse Me and Gesture Navigation. Forces immersion mode on all apps, and gesture navigation makes it so you never have to leave it.
Does xposed work on non vanilla phones? I have a Sony z3 and want to use some modules but I keep reading that it works only on stock vanilla android. And using it on any other phone would cause instability. I tried to read up on specific subreddits to find answers but information is broken and incomplete. Could someone enlightenment me? Thanks
It does. I have a custom HTC One ROM and I have patched it up nicely with xposed modules. Just be careful and keep a backup of your phone in case something bricks it.
Not a direct answer but an unrelated questions - why is this tagged as meta? I never got the whole meta thing
xposed additions - lets me long press power button to turn the torch on/off while the screen is off
bootmanager - stops apps from starting when the device starts
Using the combination of these three apps, I can use any third-party app I want for a certain function, and still have it look like I'm using the stock app. For example, I use Business Calendar Pro as my calendar app, but it the icon is set by the icon pack, and the app name is simply "Calendar". QuickPic is simply "Gallery", Tinfoil for Facebook is simply "Facebook". It's nice and clean that way.
EDIT: In case anyone wants to know what other modules I use, here's my list:

Thanks! I don't know why having non-stock apps bothers me so much, but it always has.
