Xposed Installer

This popular root app allows you to modify your device with different the different modules available in the repository.

It’s not for the faint-hearted.

This is one of the first apps I normally install after rooting my device. For each app, you can open the patch menu and do a few things like removing license verification, removing ads, changing permissions and more.

Some apps too also support the custom patches preloaded with your lucky patcher install.

ES File Explorer is more than just a file explorer, it has loads features and I think the name given to the app underestimates its capabilities. With root access, it can act a root explorer to access system files if you need to.
