I rooted my phone because...

Wanted to start a thread to see why people rooted their phones.
I rooted my Moto x because of the severe volume warning. I like to use a battery bar instead of the stock indicator. I like the crt screen off function in gravity box. I like a reboot menu....sometimes I want to reboot, ok?

I do several things with my rooted phone, but my big 3 that I can't seem to live without.
1. Free Wifi Tethering
2. Uninstalling/Freezing bloatware and Greenifying the rest
3. Backing up app data and games

1. Removal of bloatware and greenify
2. Xposed framework
3. Geek cred

Just a little humor. Coolness factor among fellow geeks.

Finally decided to root, since jcase released post ota root method.
I wanted root to.
1) debloat/greenify
2) allow tasker to toggle GPS
3) xposed framework
4) separate volume controls ie. Separate ring and notification volume.
5) minor tweaks like center clock, battery icon, remove carrier logo etc...

Battery bar? I've been looking for a way (xposed mod?) to get that thin 100% width line to show battery level. Is that what you're talking about?

1 - xposed framework, more specifically XUImod, listview animations and status bar colors
2 - TB
3 - debloat

To fix the wifi icon spacing and remove the carrier label.
to add the pull down quick settings from a right swipe

Strictly to get the idiotic att logo out of my status bar

Yeah, I root, install xposed framework, install gravity box, under status bar tweaks you can disable the battery icon and then install t.e.a.m. battery bar from google play.

Sixaxis app and gravity box for status bar tweaks and adding/rearranging quick settings.

How did you guys get xposed to work. After using rockmymoto xposed says the installation failed because system was read only.
I tried root explorer to remount as r/w but no luck.

I believe you need to go into recovery and set the system r/w, so much easier when your boot loader is unlocked

i believe you have reboot recovery to make system writeable as with pwnmymoto. I haven't gotten this far yet to test. So, power off, hold vol down and power for 5 seconds, choose recovery with vol down, then vol up to select it. system should reboot r/w. hope this helps.

I rooted my phone because I use ad blocker, every once in a while I backup apps when switching ROMs and for some additional functions of Tasker.

Xposed makes a back up of this file (app_process.orig), so you should be able to restore it through the xposed app or manually.

Tested by the rest of the xda:
(found here: http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-modules-to-install-right-now-on-lollipop )
App Settings [Lollipop Alternative by rovo89] [1]:
This was by far one of my favorite Xposed modules back when I wasn’t running Lollipop, and certainly the one I missed the most. With this baby you can change DPI per app (which allows you to keep whatever DPI you want on the rest of the SystemUI), as well as the application’s font scale, immersive mode, RAM pinning, and insistent notifications for those that don’t want to miss their valentine’s texts (and lose their heads over it).
Xposed GEL Settings [1][2]:
For those fans of the “pure Google experience”, this module can let you further customize your Google Launcher by letting you hide the search bar or individual applications, change grid, icon and text sizes, remove labels and more. It doesn’t make it quite as flexible as Nova, but it’s definitely a good module to have for those that love the Google integration of their launcher, and the cleanness and optimization of it.
RootCloak [1]:
Some apps detect root and either prevent access or limit your features as a preemptive method for security. While it is understandable some might want to further fortify their application, us XDA tinkerers can be left out of services due to this. This module hides root for the apps you choose, simple as that. We can’t specifically tell you what to use this module for, but if you’ve had problems like this before, look no further.
Advanced Power Menu+ [1]: This module lets you customize the power menu of your phone to add or remove items in any order you want. There are extra reboot options (soft boot, recovery boot, bootloader), a screenshot option, a quick-dial to call whoever, some connection toggles and a handy flashlight. I always have advanced power menus on my phones, and an Xposed module alternative is much easier than flashing additional zip’s. If this doesn’t work for you, the new Lollipop Power Menu module might.
XToast [1]:
This was one of my favorites back then, as it lets you add the Toast notification’s app origin into the message box by adding the corresponding app’s icon. That in itself makes it useful, but you can also customize said icon and add the name, or change the toast style back to older versions. The duration, transparency and where it appears also can be chosen. Basically, toasts are at your control to make them more informative and personal. You won’t know how awesome it is until you try it!
Lollipop Notification Ticker [1]:
This one was meant to restore the ticker on the status bar that informed you of the contents of your latest notifications. It was made before Xposed for Lollipop came out, which was a daring move that worked… partially. According to reports, it breaks heads-up notifications alongside fixing the ticker. If you dislike those in the first place, though, you might want to give it a try.
Native Clip board [1]:
Copying and pasting on smartphones was never the most fluid thing, nor the most consistent. This module adds clip-board management straight to the text-selection menu, and it allows you to theme the new menu, black-list apps and further customize it. If you happen to be working on your phone because there’s a document you might need to edit on the bus, this will prove useful.
BootManager :
A must-have to those that want their device to be slim and efficient on boot. This module allows you to select which applications run when you power up your device, and those that don’t get allowed to do so usually stay dormant until you fire them up. If you’ve got a good amount of things that you don’t need right away but are hesitant to greenify, this can alleviate the dilemma of your user experience.

I followed all steps correctly. I have a Moto E XT1022 running Android 5.0.2. I first installed apk and then went to twrp to falsh the zip file. It flashed without any problem. Then I wiped the Cache and Dalvik-Cache. Then I rebooted my phone to system but it didn't. It was stuck at the bootloader unlocked warning. I am able to go to bootloader and to the recovery but I am unable to boot into the system. Please help.

No I hadn't taken a backup and lollipop rom wasn't flashing. What I did was downgrade it to 4.4.4 and then updated it to 5.0.2 and then rooted it!! I guess I had to pay for not taking a backup!!! Anyway, thanks for your help.

Thanks . Actually I was looking for a different answer. I know that the only method to uninstall is to flash ROM again , but I thought probably I was missing something. Anyway Thanks a lot.

5.1.1 S health is still accessible after root!

Hey all. I am rooted running tekx rom. My s health updated via the galaxy apps store automatically. Surprisingly I can still access s health. If I click the icon it won't open but if you have it set to detect workouts you can click the notification and get into it that way. I am not sure if this is known but if it is mods please delete thread.

Or you can make a shortcut to the config screen and then back into the app also. They only check for root on launch

How to add mobile data toggle to the notification panel

1. Download and Install quick panel manager ( attached )
2. Open the app and tap EDIT on the upper right corner
3. In the script add [MobileData;] after any toggle you want
( for example in the picture I added it after AutoRotate )
4. Tap save and done !
Note :
* You can edit any other toggle you want in the notification panel with this app. For example you can add mobile hostspot and other setting toggles.
* After new firmware update the app is always required. If you uninstall app the toggle will be removed after restarting phone. So use the app and then hide it .

Worked like a charm

You can use the app and then uninstall the app
the app is only required once and then you can uninstall it after you edit the status bar
I have searched alot and this is the only method that worked for me

Yes it works for me but if I want to restore factory defaults the toggles are removed.
I want to make displaying toggles perminant.

For hotpot the spelling is WifiHotspot;
If anyone needs the spelling for anything else I can get it. I had a snapshot of everything but lost it when my ROM crashed. You can open all toggles with an older version of gtidonetheapps. What's crazy is I'm running a stock ROM so don't have the Xposed installer but sometimes when I reboot my phone it will be there and when I open this app it runs as Xposed and shows all the toggles.

Or you could use this app
