Top 5 xposed installer modules

In case you don't already know, Xposed Installer is a very useful tool that can be used to customize an android device without the need to flash any custom rom. Most custom ROMs are heavily tweaked and they come with less bloatware applications, this makes its operations smoother than stock ROMs. But not all android devices can boast of custom ROMs, as these custom ROMs are built by third parties, mainly knowledgeable individuals that values premium quality designs and customizations. As appealing as the idea of flashing a custom Rom may sound, it is risky, and if you flash a custom Rom you will most likely lose all the files in your phone, including messages, call logs and programmed alarms.

Xposed installer offers you the opportunity to customize your stock rom, therefore making it look like a premium custom Rom without losing any file. And it also allows you to switch off all your customizations and restore your phone to its original stock rom without any modifications and with your files intact. In my opinion, it is the most useful tool in my phone, because you can do almost anything with it, ranging from blocking unwanted calls and sms to fully customizing your phone to match your personality.

Xstana [KK][LP][MM]

I don't need to talk much about this module because there is an existing post about it here, check it out

MonsterUi [KK]

This amazing module is for people still enjoying the simplicity of kitkat android OS( from 4.2.x). Till date, I still feel kitkat was the most simplest android version, everything was easy, though it's user interface wasn't all that great compared to lollipop, marshmallow and android N. If you're still on kitkat, MonsterUi is for you, it brings the lollipop user interface and animation to you without flashing any file or custom Rom. I personally enjoyed this module when I was still cruising kitkat android version, you can check this post to see the wonders it did to my old phone.
