[General Questions and Answers] bohemia66:
Hi all. New to the xda forum here and also very new to Android and app technology in general, so still learning to use what I already have but now that I'm rooted, wanting a lot more! Please excuse the idiot questions that follow however, but hopefully someone can help me out?

This is an excellent catalogue of the best root apps - so far on my newly rooted LG G3 I have SusperSU (of course), Titanium Backup, AdAway and Greenify, and although I'll be going through the list above and trying out many of these apps I somehow doubt that I'd need everything listed! A bit more detail might save me a lot of time in deciding which though, hence the following questions:

First, can anyone tell me if there have been or there are any known moderate to severe conflicts between any of the apps listed, either in obvious ways or as things happening in the background without the user being aware until it's 'too late'?

Second, I really like the idea of being able to 'hibernate' apps to save on battery power (which isn't the best on G3's by any means) and after doing a bit of reading I'd thought of using either Greenify (which seems to be working ok so far ) or Purify, which sounds simply brilliant. However, with the former I've heard that the necessary Xposed framework for some of the features that I'd REALLY like to use works superbly on KitKat 4.0.x but causes all sorts of problems on Lollipop 5.0.x and I'm therefore very reluctant to download and install Xposed! Have there been any updates on the Xposed framework for lollipop that are already well and truly tried and tested? Similarly, with Purify even though I went to download it I simply wasn't happy agreeing to the seemingly endless list of access permissions required, and I wouldn't ever consider signing away my entire life just for an app, no matter how good it was! So I guess the main question here would be - are there any alternative failsafe 'hibernation' root apps that anyone can recommend?

Third, what would people recommend as the very best in-app ad blocker? Again, the obvious one to me going on the reading sounds like the MinMinGuard module for Xposed, but so far I'm equally reluctant to install a framework on lollipop 5.0 that might cause more harm than good? Is there a tried and trusted alternative to MinMinGuard out there somewhere that'll eradicate in-app ads AND the blank screen spaces that they leave behind?

Fourth and I guess final question for now, I used Titanium Backup to create an entire system backup on my SD and it worked brilliantly. I was figuring to backup again on to my laptop (running Windows 10) because although the SD's there I don't really like the idea of everything being ONLY in the one device, but I can't install Titanium Backup on the laptop. So can anyone tell me the best way to do this and which app or program will do it seamlessly and allow a full restore of the rooted ROM back to my G3 should it ever prove necessary?

I'll have a look around on the forums for some of these answers obviously, but this place is BIG and takes a while to explore so if anyone can point me to relevant links in the meantime or offer expert advice it'd be much appreciated.

Just as one final thought, too - the thread here provides an excellent resource for the BEST root apps,,,might it also be an idea to create a similar resource - listing the potentially worst, or dangerous ones, mainly with a view to providing relevant developers with critical but constructive user feedback but also as a way as helping out us poor green 'newbies'? :fingers-crossed:
