No Lock Home: Xposed Module for Rooted Android

Just wanted to pass this along for those it may help. This module allows you to disable the screen lock on your device when in a "trusted" area. For instance, I set it so that when on my home wifi network or connected to any bluetooth device I don't have to unlock the phone.
It has worked flawlessly so far. Also, once I leave the network it will lock. So if I am doing something on the phone and exit my wifi network area, the phone will lock.

No Lock Home is Xposed module for lockscreen bypass based on network connectivity - when you're home, connected to your trusted WiFi AP, lock screen will not be shown. Once you disconnect from your AP, your selected lockscreen will be displayed.
It's the very same principle as uses app SkipLock (formerly Unlock With WiFi). Why use No Lock Home instead?
Works with any unlock method (Swipe/Face Unlock/Pattern/PIN/Password/...) - including fingerprint reader on Samsung Galaxy S5 (stock ROM w/ TouchWiz)
Easy to setup (compared to complexity of Tasker). No Lock Home only requires you to enable module, reboot and add AP MAC address (using just two taps)
Free
Additional advantages:
Unlock based on connected WiFi networks, Bluetooth devices or Cell towers
No service, no wakelock, no internet connectivity - just a few method hooks within system keyguard
Crazy small apk
Using AOSP methods which are also available in Samsung/LG devices as well as CyanogenMod
(No Lock Home is using only two hooks. One to disable lockscreen which is triggered once screen goes off (after testing various methods I came to same calls as mentioned here). Other call is for re-locking when screen goes on and there's no trusted AP. EDIT: As of v0.5.0 it's little bit more than just that.)

so ive never gotten into xposed. just too busy with 3 (soon 4) kids and all the other shite.
sell me on this. i'm about as vanilla as you can get when it comes to android.
i'm guessing its probably a bad idea to jump into xposed this close to "L" being released..in what..4 days? there will be a significant amount of updating XPOSED framework & modules over the next several months to get everything up to spec with the new material design so other than the lockscreen doodad which i really like...not sure i want pie controls and all that other shite when i'm trying to just get comfortable with L.

Xposed is great as it allows changes without messing much with the actual ROM. At first I installed the Xposed framework without installing any of the modules. There was no effect on my GPE ROM with xposed and no modules.
Once you download and install the modules (apps within xposed), they make the desired changes. For instance, I have the gravitybox module installed which allows a bunch of changes to your system such as order of tiles, changes to the power menu, status bar, etc. I also have a google now launcher settings module which allows for a shite load of changes to the launcher (change the rows, change the look of the app drawer, remove google now bar from every page, change home page, hide widgets from the widget locker, etc.). I would not switch to anything that can not have xposed installed over it.
I really could not tell you what Lollipop will do to xposed, but I am not going to upgrade from my 4.4 GPE ROM until I can get the same on lollipop and I can install xposed.

Cool idea, and I can see the convenience of it but I don't see it becoming something widely used. People are sensitive about their phones and the data on them. Not necessarily from say your spouse or SO, but people with kids that may try and use their phones and play games or whatnot.
I need to root my damn M8...

I never thought about that.

Hate to burst the bubble but I am hearing that Xposed is a no go on lollipop.
Last I heard that was the case, I hope it's changed.
Going to be tough not having Xposed modules after using a bunch for so long.
If someone can prove me wrong please do.
