I don't think it's been mentioned, but automation tools like Automagic[1] are invaluable, and need root.
[1] https://automagic4android.com/ Just noticed it's no longer maintained. One can use the more popular Tasker. Shame, though - Automagic could do everything Tasker did and was much easier to use.
I'm a long time user of AM4A. Yes, unfortunately the developer has ceased further updates, but it still works great. It is rock solid / bug free as the developer was meticulous at ensuring his releases were extremely well tested. I have also been a tasker user since the early release, but find its UI painful to use and some features are buggy/unreliable.
I think the AM4A developer just decided to give up fighting with Google's constant locking down features and functionality.
To extend its life and usefulness I've began integrating B4A (b4x.com) with AM4A. I can call one from the other and xfer data between them using intents.
