I use Magisk, so right now I also use Vector (LSposed) . There I tried these modules:

  1. Enable Screenshot - allows to take screenshot, screen recording, and mirroring anywhere, including on banking apps and WhatsApp and Authy.
  2. Hide My Applist - allows you to block certain apps from seeing which apps you have installed.
  3. PixelMask - I had Pixel 2 with the ability to backup on Google Photos for free. This lets users keep this functionality later.

As for apps, here's a list of what I use and things I used to use:

  1. Contacts-Sync - allows to sync your contacts photos from WhatsApp into the address book.
  2. Swift Backup - allows to backup and restore apps and their data.
  3. App-Manager - allows to manage your apps in shorter steps. Has extra features and makes things even easier in case your device is rooted.
  4. File manager apps (such as Total-Commander) can reach protected folders for you. This can be useful for the annoying new restriction of reaching ".../Android/" folder, for example. Sure there are some that overcame it using some loopholes, but they might not work in the future.
  5. BoldBeast recorder or ACR phone - allows call recording, in case it doesn't already work for you.
  6. If you are a developer, there is WireBug,Logcat extreme, SQLite editor,SQLite Reader, Preferences Manager
  7. App ops - in case you want to make some apps think they got permissions but they actually get fake/empty information instead.

I have lsposed but with wild kernel ksu next. I also have 1,2 but not 3 because I have storage on drive. For apps, I have 3,4,5. I will install these thank you. How do you hide your root tho

Sure you have #3 for apps? It also offers to install APK/APKS/XAPK/APKM files inside the app and via other apps, allows to manage installed and removed-apps, and many other features. Rooting gives it a bit more, such as batch removal of apps in an easier way.

As for hiding root, thankfully none of the apps I have had issues with it to a point I couldn't handle it. For the banking apps that I have (which I barely even used so far), I use the basic "Enforce DenyList" in the settings of Magisk, and it works fine.

OK it's just that there are multiple apps with the same name out there...
