True Silent Mode for Lollipop

Changes 2.0 : v2.0 (initial release on Google Play):
- Option to show a statusbar icon (you get a choice between two icons) 🔕
- Option to unsilence alarms when putting the device to the "None" interruption mode
- Added settings interface
- Preliminary Tasker support
- Icon refresh
Android 5.1 isn't supported yet but you can soon join the public beta. Follow me on G+ or the xda thread on instructions how to join.

APK Description:

--- This App requires the Xposed Framework! ---

Attention: The statusbar icon currently only works properly with AOSP ROMs!

This is due to a Xposed bug which will hopefully be fixed soon.

Here's a workaround for CM12 and other non AOSP ones which implemented the CM Theme Engine:

This Xposed module will restore the good old silent mode from Kitkat in Lollipop.

The missing silent mode has been one of the most discussed issues after the release of Android 5.0.

There are various workarounds but this app is the only real fix for the issue.

The most popular workaround is to disable all priority interruptions and use the Priority option to substitute the silent mode.

But this comes with two problems:

•  Now you can't use the Priority mode for it's actual use: to allow certain notifications and block others

•  You won't have any LED Notifications in Android 5.0 (Google at least fixed this in 5.1)

By installing this app and activating the module in the Xposed installer you will be able to use the Silent mode as in prevous versions of Android: By putting your device into the Vibrate mode and pressing Volume Down.

In silent mode you will still receive all notifications (contrary to the new None or Priority mode), but there won't be a sound or vibration, just a silent LED or ambient display notification.

The pro version of this app will allow you to display a statusbar icon when the device is in silent mode.

You can't buy or afford the in app purchase? Fret not! I'm offering you a "Freeload" option in the app which enables all pro features without paying a dime!

(Although I would be very happy if you decide to support the further development of this module in the future, of course).

Additionally this module offers you to get rid of another Lollipop quirk once and for all: You can unsilence Alarms.

By default Lollipop blocks your Alarms when your device is in the "None" mode. While Google introduced a workaround in 5.1 which wil disable the mode prior to ringing the Alarm, this option allows you to just set and forget your device to None. No more fear of missing an alarm in the morning!

⏰ 😄

The module currently only supports Android 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2, only.

Support for Android 5.1 is in beta testing and will be ready, soon!

If you have any issues or don't understand the purpose of this module please contact me first before leaving any bad review.
