Xposed [Meta] What are your favorite Xposed Modules?
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.

Recently, MonsterUI.
Being stuck on KitKat (thanks Verizon), this takes care of all my aesthetic jealousy

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?

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.

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.

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

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?

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!

Blurred System UI just makes my phone feel like it's worth $100 more than I paid for it.

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.

Changing status bar icons. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore.
WTB a way to disable stupid GPS icon and Sprint network notifications.

Does anyone know a module that changes icon size? I have an icon pack installed through Nova, but to resize the icons you need Nova Prime. Any recommendations would be great.

For a launcher you use every time you pick up your phone, $5 is totally worth it.

Definitely spend the 5 dollars for Prime. It really is worth every penny.

Unicon Beta - Lets me apply icon sets system-wide, rather than just in the launcher. The beta adds the ability to customize individual icons.
xSuite - Lets me change the name of an app system-wide.
ResFlux - lets me edit drawables and string values within any app.
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:
AcDisplay (for lockscreen)
Amplify
Blurred System UI
CustomShare
Flat Style Custom Bars
Flat Style Keyboard
Greenify (for boost mode)
MinMinGuard
Pictures2SD
Shortcut in App Info
Smart Alarm Icon
Smooth System Progress Bars
Xposed GEL Settings
Xposed Preferences Injector
YouTube AdAway
