Modding on Android never ends! This week we discover two new modules, one to expand the functions of the navigation bar, the other to remove the block / pin / password sequence when we are connected to WiFi or Bluetooth.
Xtended NavBar
Xtended NavBar, is the module that enriches our navigation bar. No need to customize, color, transparency or anything else, it simply adds two extra 'pages', reachable by swipe. The two pages can contain multimedia controls (next, previous, pause / play), some quick settings (wifi, data, plane, rotation, etc) or favorite applications (only in the donated version).
Finally, it is possible to set a timeout, which, in the event that we are in a secondary 'page', after 10 seconds will bring us back to the 'page' of the main keys.
Landscape does not work.

No Lock Home
The module No Lock Home it is a good module to bypass android lockscreen under wifi, bluetooth or cell connection. Although the module is still in experimental phase, it works well overall and offers the right settings to set the lockscreen bypass ad hoc.
We can choose whether to avoid the various unlock codes on all wifi networks (or bluetooth) or select one or more specific networks by MAC address or name (SSID). In case we want to add more networks, just separate them by semicolon (;).
Ex .: rete1; rete2; rete3; ...
The bypass works for all types of unlocking: sequence; pin; password; and even the fingerprint reader of the SGS5. Finally we have the option Use Swipe to choose whether, under these networks, you will have to have immediate access to the display or through the classic swipe.
works well overall
but sometimes - an irrelevant percentage in my case - it happens that when the display is awakened, a graphic bug. But it rarely happens and I remember that the form is being tested.
