"Must haves" on your newly rooted xt907

Hi guys I opened this thread up to share some of my top favorite rooted applications. Many experienced users will know what most of these are but some may be new, and of course this is a great place to begin for inexperienced root users. I'm not going to go into crazy detail about all of them but I'm hoping that others will post, comment, and share their findings as well. Take a look.
Avast! - advanced mobile security that gives you virus scan, theft protection, firewall, text/call block, and more!
Adfree- self explanatory. One of the best ad blockers for your browser in the market.
Airdroid- this is my personal favorite. Simply run the app, follow the quick instructions and BOOM you are managing all your own files from your phone both internal and external on your regular desktop computers or laptops. Its super easy to use and a must have.
Cachemate- clears cache with a click of a button.
My backup (root edition) - serves just like titanium backup. Easily backup your apks and data or just apks alone. Also includes photos/videos/music. Reason why I prefer this is because I used to use titanium mainly for freezing and backing up but ics/jb both have the "disable" option now.
Quickboot- quickly boot into recovery/reboot/power off
Root browser- arguably the best file explorer/manager out there. Pretty fast r/w speeds.
Root call blocker- not only can you manually enter the numbers you want blocked but this is one of the first apps I found where your phone won't even ring whatsoever.
SD booster- boost SD card speed. Don't know too much about it but was told from a friend to set the speed to 2048kb for optimization.
Terminal emulator- the "command prompt" of android.
Undelete- ever accidently delete a file and get really mad? Simply run this app and snatch it back!
Voodoo ota- copies your superuser binaries and allows you to keep root after an ota update (going to come in handy once the official jb comes through )
Hope you guys enjoy these apps. Obviously not responsible for anything that these do to your device. Please comment and also share your findings ! Thank you

ROM toolbox enough said, and smart ram booster !

why was this not more of a thing?
Also, a cool app TO HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FRIENDS WITH (ONLY) is DroidSheep. It's a packet sniffing app, it's cool.

I am using Grrenify and Seeder. From "hacktools" Faceniff and wi-fi kill.

greenify is great.
my recommendations are Android Firewall, Root Explorer, and Titanium Backup.
Android Firewall is great in that it blocks internet (WiFi/mobile data/both) to apps that you specify. this is great for blocking ads for those that want to play games that do not require a data connection.

As this thread is about root apps I thought I'd ask here rather then start a new thread.... has anyone found a screen recorder that actually works on the M? I've tried SRC and screencast with no luck...even a method that requires me to connect it to the PC would be great....

Working Adblocker (ROOT ONLY)

As we all know Google have removed all the adblocking apps from Google Play. Here is something which will be of help
For ROM Toolbox Pro Users
A secret place for the Ad Blocker you would probably get to it by going into ROM Toolbox -> open the Sliding Menu (swipe right to left) -> and long clicking "DNS Changer"
For Everyone
Here is the standalone version that you can download and install from their server: http://jrummy16.com/jrummy/ad-blocker/Ad-Blocker-JRummy-Apps.apk

Also available through F-Droid https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk

Excellent! Now, if only we could have an app, that allowed the user to download all the paid apps from Google Play totally free of charge, that would be nice.
Actually we should have an app that made the developers pay the users to use the apps, that they work so hard to develop.

Recommended Apps for our wonder

I made this thread to give app suggestions that are good out better than the usual ones
Let's start:
1- FBM for Facebook: (free)
Now we all know that the official Facebook app sucks and uses a LOT of ram, this app gives you the mobile web view of Facebook(like the one in the browser) and it is super SMOOTH!
2- Smart Status Bar: (free)
Ever wanted to check a notification while playing games or using a fulscreen ago? This app does exactly what you need! You might think that an app like that will use many ram but you're wrong, it is simple, responsive and uses a small amount of ram.
3- Adaway: (free)
A one-click Ads blocker and the best thing about it is that it actually works!!
4- IMO messenger: (free)
Despite the fact that almost every one that uses this app thinks it's bad, this is the ultimate messaging all I use on all my devices (it also has its own social network, but I don't use that ). You can use multiple accounts at the same time, hero's if you have a business account and a personal one. And it has a wide selection of social networks that you can log in to!
5- Better app manger: (free)
Simple Application manger!
Backup apps(no data backups)
Multi-Uninstall
Share apps(even .apks)
All that for free and without root
6- Auto Memory Manger: (free)
A great app to tweak your out-of-memory manager settings yourself
(warning: you need to know what you're doing)
More coming soon
If you have any suggestions please leave them here...

I tried to greenify the Facebook official app before but it didn't work (which was the reason I found fbm)
did I do something wrong or is Facebook just un-greenify-able?
And I have never heard of tasks before...I will give it a try and see what it can do

Greenify said that if I greenified an app, it will be stopped, or paused, until I open it again.
I tried that on Facebook but it was still left active taking 34mb of my ram!

Do you use multi window?

I rooted my note 3 last night and installed the mods to add other apps to multi window. That was my main drive to rooting. But I don't seem to use it that much. I find it easier just to use one app and then click the home button swipe up on nova which gives me my recent apps and then use the other apps. That works better for me and is really fast. I was just wondering do you guys use multi window? And if so is there a certain way you use it? With any specific apps?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I use it from time to time when I'm on the go and I have to open a spreadsheet as well as my email for example, where I have to take certain figures from a worksheet and use them in my email to someone... that's just an example... Another example is when I have jotted down several numbers that I have to do some work with, so I open my notes, say, on the top, and the calculator on the bottom... It WILL come in handy--trust me.

I thought I would use it more, but I've only used it 3 times total. I guess more app support would help, but even then I don't I would use it much.

i have used it a bunch of times
will do it more when i can add whatever app i want to it (stock with root)
i just hate it when it does it on its own

What mod did you use to use all apps?

I do, but I'm noticing that after sometime the little tab disappears so I would have to go into settings and turn it off and back on. What causes this?

I guess it will come handy later on. At least we have this features. It's good to see what other people are using it for.

These r the steps I took.
I rooted my note using cf auto root. (still don't have a recovery installed since twrp and cwm are both having problems.)
Installed the xposed framework (from the themes and apps section in first post) reboot.
Went to play store search wanam xposed. Installed. Open xposed installer enabled wanam module. Reboot.
Go into wanam app. Go to system section. There is a tab that let's u add apps to multi view.
Done.

Yeah adding with Wanam module works great. It also adds a hotboot function which is handy.
As for uses, I've used it loads of times with my reader app. I can pop open a browser to search a definition or get more info on something. I found that apps are limited in how they work with each other though. For example I can't drag a reference image from a browser into sketchbook. But that's an issue with sketchbook and not the multiwindow function.

Thanks, i used the multi window manager from the play store to use all apps. As for how much I actually use it, not much. I've actually been using pen window more since we can add any app to it. It's become quite useful.

I did all this and enabled the apps I want...but how does it work now?
They are not showing on the right slide out thing for multiwindow...does it not show up there, but we can do it by opening those apps?
Also the wanam app is a lifesaver...lots of things on there
-nvm went to edit and they are all showing now

I actually use it a lot more now on the note 3 than i did on the note 2. The app groups really makes it more useful to me. Specifically i have an IRC/Chrome combo, an IRC/Youtube combo, a Chrome/youtube combo, email/gmail combo, gmail/chrome combo, and quite a few more like that, you can see the theme... I also enabled auto multi window for supported apps, which i find really useful, so sometimes if i click on a youtube link in some apps, it will play the video on the bottom half, or if i click on a link in a text message, it splits and takes me to the webpage... Each evolution of samsungs software gets just a little bit more useful imo.

It has to be included in the app unless you install modified apks for the apps (not many of them exist).

You do need the to pay for the pro key to enable the MultiWindow enabler feature.
This app seems to modify the apk for you and then install the app again and it doesn't seem to work for all apps though but most do.
