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).
I'm on 5.0 with Xposed and the ColorFade Memory Leak fix. However, it seems that Lollipop is still force closing background apps too quickly. I play Hearthstone a lot, and I used to background it to go on chrome or respond to a text message or something in Kitkat 4.4 with no issues. Now on 5.0, it will close very quickly. I even hit home sometimes and went right back into the app without doing anything else, and saw that it had closed instantly. Is there any fix for this, or do I just have to wait?
I also noticed that when I was using Google maps and Spotify, then opened Waze, the first two would force close as well. This wasn't an issue on KK 4.0 either.
have the same issues on the stock firmware
I'm on tmo and I have the same problem. it's with stock and AOSP. I can't run pocket cast and anything else for fear of pocketcast (or google music for that matter) closing. I wonder if there is a way to increase it's priority so lollipop won't close it.

I heard that TouchWiz by Samsung wasn't supposed to have this issue even though all other flavors did, but considering I'm having it, it's not the case.
There's a thing in the Xposed module, App settings, called resident which allows an application to be forced/higher priority in memory, but I find it either doesn't work because lollipop's force close background apps is too strong, or it only makes the background apps stay a tiny bit longer.
Update: I found out today that my issue was disabling Touchwiz's DVFS in the Wanam Xposed module. Re-enabling it fixed all my issues it seems.

Wow, is that what's been happening? I've been having this same problem on my T-mo Note 4 N910T (Lollipop 5.0.1) with apps aggressively being killed. I've been pulling my hair out because I had no idea why. After seeing your post and disabling the DVFS killer I no longer have this issue. Overlooked it because it just wasn't in my list of things that would be causing it. Thank you!
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?

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.

I did have lag on the Moto x pure, but do not have any on this phone..yet. I guess it depends in this case.

Awesome stuff. Probably what I'll do this weekend.
I really just want to have my onscreen softkeys haha with a couple of other minor stuff like YouTube background playback and such.

The thread that Draken posted said that xposed would break systemless root.
Does this not apply to us?

It doesn't break root, but it does make changes to the system partition, and is therefore no longer "systemless".
I ditched Gboard because it's been crashing a lot lately and it freezes. I didn't ever like using stock keyboard before because it wouldn't capitalize I or add apostrophe's where needed in words. It seems to be actually doing that now. Gboard has never used more than 0.1% of battery. I really liked it until it started crashing. I had used it since March. What keyboard app is most battery friendly, stock or an app?
Ever since I bought this phone new in 2018 I've been extremely disappointed with it's performance. Lately I've been experiencing some extreme graphical glitching and lagging using the Amazon app. I just decided to freeze the amazon app. I recently did the thermal paste mod and noticed some slight Improvement. However after freezing Amazon I feel like I have a brand new phone. Has anyone else experienced problems with the Amazon app on the LG v20. I'm from the USA.
I'm attaching some screenshots. The App basically just flickers between various pictures. Or worse stays on the first picture. I edited\blurred my name and address.
I've used the Amazon shopping app in the US on my US996USC rooted with dirty santa and supersu since sometime in 2017 without issue. My wife has a VS995 (Verizon) rooted via dirty santa and magisk and has the Amazon app working without complaint (if an issue was there I'm sure I would hear all about it). What version of the V20 do you have?
Maybe some of the stock software on your version of V20 is conflicting with the Amazon app. Do you get the same slowdown / flicker if accessing Amazon via Chrome,Firefox, etc? Or maybe just force shutdown the Amazon app when not using it to obtian the performance benefits.
Also I deleted Facebook and a number of other stock applications I do not use (easy when rooted, somewhat harder without). Also I use greenify (works on unrooted phones) to cause most apps to sleep when I am not using them. Maybe one or the other might also help.
No problems on my side, either. OP, I noticed that you are using the Second Screen Status Bar mod and are hiding the regular status bar. Do you think the Amazon app may be clashing with that somehow?

Did you find out the cause for this? I have the same problem with the Amazon app but sometimes it happens elsewhere too. I don't have a v20 but running stock Oreo (8.0} on my axon 7.
The furthest I've gotten to fix it temporally is by choosing my address in Amazon and changing it back again. It seems like it's something to do with the address pop up message that causes the problem for me.

There is a bug in the latest version of chrome and web view that makes the screen flicker on some apps. To fix this you need to disable chrome and enable chrome and check do not auto update in the play store.
There is another fix you have to install the updated graphics driver. This driver is for oreo only lgv20, after you flash in twrp you must wipe dalvik cache. You must have root to be able to install the updated GPU drivers.
