On that note: does anyone know of an "advanced reboot" app that will add the extra options directly to the power menu? I used to use an Xposed module for this, but that's not an option on Marshmallow and all of the apps I've seen require the use a of separate widget.
Edit: Was looking for something else and stumbled across this, which was exactly what I was looking for:
You can remap the power button. Apps like Advanced Power Menu do just that, without root (root is required to reboot, not to actually display the app)
I agree, but I just found an app that does replace the stock power menu if you have root. No xposed required:

Highly recommended this app :)
Flash together with OpenGapps ARM64 7.1 Pico
Works:
RIL (calls/messaging/mobile data)
Wifi
camera incl. video/120fps/HDR
and pretty much everything else except Bugs
Bugs:
- NO reboot menu (use Advanced power menu )
- Settings crash when entering Battery saver and performance (use Kernel Auditor)
battery indicator can't be changed (percentage inside shown correctly)
intensity of capacitive buttons illumination can't be changed
double twist for camera
fingerprint sensor notification in Settings at first launch (just swipe away)
default SIM for calls/data blank (select manually in SIM settings)
short review
boot is faster than Hikari No Tenshi, default theme seem to be a bit darker than HnT at least in quick tiles, Last app through Menu button works fine, no wifi 5/2.4ghz switch (as in other CM14 builds), switching from full brightness in camera to previous brightness elsewhere seem to work OK, default vibration has normal intensity, not as strong as in HnT
new (untested) - double twist for camera, lift to wake, media and ringtone volumes finally not linked (works), power on sounds option, extra settings edge double tap (was in HnT build too actually), force allow apps on external, force activities to be resizeable

Root Apps
| App | Description | Tags |
|---|---|---|
| AdAway | Blocks ads system wide. | tools, FOSS, root, basic |
| Advanced Power Menu [ROOT] | Neat looking app that replaces the power menu when you long hold the power button. It adds the option to reboot your phone and to enter recovery. | tools, root, basic |
| BusyBox Free | No idea what this app is for, but Titanium needs it. | root, basic |
| CF.lumen | Pretty much flux for Android, works amazing. You do need root for this one to work perfectly, as in if you need to approve permissions or something you don't need to disable CF first. Nonroot works great as well. Another nonroot alternative is Twilight | tools, root, paid, basic |
| Custom Quick Settings | Used this to add an NFC toggle in my quick settings, but you can add literally anything you want. Including apps. There's also an option to do something different if you long tap the icon. | tools, root |
| Greenify | Used it before doze was implemented, but now I keep it for the advanced features in pro. This free version hibernated your apps to preserve battery life and free RAM from apps that you just occasionally use. | tools, root |
| Greenify (Donation Package) | Paid to enable more advanced features, like boost mode, push message to greenified apps, wake-up tracker, and so on. | paid, root |
| Kernel Toolkit | Can use to tweak the kernel, but not recommended if you don't know what the setting your tweaking actually does. | tools, root |
| Nova Launcher | Most customizable launcher. I try out all kinds of launchers but always end up back with Nova. Swipe and app to open a different app, rename apps, change grid sizes, swipe up on home screen to open drawer and swipe down to open notifications, these are some of my customizations. You don't need root except to get around some android bugs, like the agonizingly slow opening of the notification drawer when using the swipe down Nova gesture. | root, daily, basic |
| Secure Settings | Needed to toggle most settings with tasker, like airplane mode and so on. | tools, root |
| SuperSU | Required for root. | tools, root |
| SuperSU Pro | Required for root. | paid, tools, basic, root |
| Titanium Backup | The only worthwhile backup app as far as I'm concerned. I have it set up to back up new apps and data twice a week. You can also batch uninstall, freeze apps, delete backups and so on. Really the ultimate app manager for root. It's free, but the features most people want (multiple backups) is not. | tools, root, basic |
| Titanium Backup PRO | I think this was the first app I bought, not sure why. But Titanium Backup is the most useful app I ever bought. Backs up all my apps and data to my SD card, including contacts and texts. Definitely saved my butt more than a few times. | paid, root, basic, tools |
| Xposed Installer | Required for gravity box and YouTube AdAway below. Root needed. Android Pay does not work if this is installed. | basic, root |
