I have asked the Mods to move your thread to the...

(Verizon) Galaxy S4 - All Things Root

... section of the forum where they should be able to give you more assistance for your model of Galaxy S4.

I can't help thinking that this is a bit arse about face. Why did you root it if you didn't have a reason?

That said, one of the most useful apps I use that requires root is Titanium Backup Pro, which can back up pretty much anything and is very useful when setting up new ROMs. If you are a gamer, I strongly recommend SixAxis, which will let you use a PS3 controller with your S4.

If you're the paranoid sort and don't trust the way Google allocates privileges (which you shouldn't) try an app like Permissions Denied. If you want proper time synchronisation with internet ntp servers, try ClockSync.

I could go on (at some length) but there is a lot you can do now you have full control over your phone.
