Doese anybody have any app recommendations for a rooted phone with lineageOS?
Things like: A proper file explorer A terminal if possible And apps in general that you can’t use without root (i.e. power saver tuner(although it’s possible without root))
Adaway of course, and wireguard via the proper kernel module.

According to wireguard itself the kernel-module based backend is more efficient/faster than the userspace implementation, and to use that it still requires root.

Yes, the kernel-module solution is significantly faster.
I’m using these:
I use:
-
Material Files - Root file explorer FOSS and no ads
-
Termux - Terminal emulator
-
GAppsMod - enable call recording in United States
-
ReVanced Manager - Spiritual successor of YouTube vanced, works for more than just YouTube
-
Substratum - theme engine, needs to be combined with a theme pack and most are not free
-
Swift Backup - backs up app data, calls, messages, etc to cloud. Can set it to use WebDAV, SMB, SFTP, S3, etc. Can also back up locally
XPosed / LSPosed
-
Dark eyes tricks - general system mods, mostly use it for “Power key to toggle torch”
-
Snap Enhance - if you need Snapchat to communicate with half of you friends you can nuke most ads, get download options, screenshot without sending a message, view chats without marking them as read, enable dark mode, and others I don’t use
-
XPosed Edge Pro - let’s you bind actions to triggers. I use it to get a Samsung like app drawer from the side of my screen, but you can bind keys, gestures, schedules, app states, just overall useful
Magisk Modules
-
AOSP Mods -let’s you configure a bunch of stuff in near vanilla roms
-
Universal SafetyNet Fix - V2.4.0-MOD_1.2, allows banking and Google pay to work, as well as any app that blocks root. Add to magisk deny list
-
- Minminguard as ad blocker (used with Magisk and lsposed)
- Titanium Backup for real backups.

Both of those apps were abandoned years ago. There are much better options available now

Learn to put punctuation marks.
That said, I don’t think there’s need anymore to be rooted. You can do almost anything on non-rooted devices.
If only wifi tethering worked without root…
