GL Tools is an app for rooted devices that lets you tweak the graphical performance of different apps. It's best used if you're trying to run something on your device and it doesn't quite have the oomph to make it work. You can load GL Tools, poke down what the game is trying to do, and hey presto, it'll run a lot better.

If you get annoyed by the positioning of your device's on-screen buttons when watching films of playing games, fullscreen is the app for you. It lets you make the bar disappear, reposition it as hot corners, or turn it into a pie-like floating wheel that disappears after a while. It's free, easy to use and it’ll let you make the most of your tablet or phone's big screen size.

XuiMod is an Xposed Framework Module that gives you control over the look and feel of your device.
