Disable lockscreen security when connected to AW, BT, or WIFI device. ROOT REQUIRED

OK, so I have to use my fingerprint to unlock my phone. For me this gets annoying when I am in my car or extremely busy working and my screen times out. this wouldn't be so much of a problem if the note 4 had lollipop but we dont at the moment.
I solved this using the following:
Root
Xposed
and a module called NO LOCK HOME
You can set it to any bluetooth or wi-fi connection, or to a specific one. I set mine to my car but changed it to any bluetooth because of my moto 360 and hands free are the only other devices that connect over bluetooth. Plus if you go out of range it auto locks or when the the screen is off depending on your settings.
you can download NO LOCK HOME straight from xposed installer

P10 and Android Auto

Hello,
Today I installed the SONY XAV-AX100. Super. Everything works quite smoothly. I just have a problem with calling through android car. If someone calls me or call me and I connected via android car, so the call does not appear on the radio display only phone which is useless.
When I tested the Nexus 4 with Android CyanogenMod v6, it works well.
Some idea?

Firstly double check your bluetooth settings for that device and make sure all the sliders related to phone calls and Bluetooth audio are enabled, if that doesn't work - try a variation of making your head unit connect to the device and vice versa.
I have a 2014 passat and the Bluetooth works perfectly when connected, first connection on car start is a bit pissy because my smartwatch initially demands all Bluetooth, manually connecting to the VW Phone in Bluetooth just reconnects both devices and it works fine for calling, music and voice control.
If these tips don't work, It might sadly be a lack of support within the head unit itself (some are very picky)

You don't have AA and don't understand the problem, so why did you respond? It's not BT related issue.
@matata86
I have the same problem. AA has all needed permissions, but calls still not show on the unit. Interesting is that with my previous phone, P9 - it was working as long phone has Android 6.0. After update to 7.0 - it has stopped working. So it has to be related with Huawei's 7.0 phone manager. Someone with root access should try to freeze phone manager and check it...

Yeah apologies, I must have got this mixed with another thread I was looking at when writing this related to BT issues when connecting where phone calls/address books aren't operable though they work fine after manually initiating the connection.
Same problem here. I can make calls with "ok google, call John Smith" but the notification doesn't show in order for me to end the call. I can end the call from the phone but usually rely on the other party to end the call from their phone.
Text messaging has similar behavior. I can send text messages from AA using voice commands but cannot receive them on screen nor are they read back to me. Again, they do show up on the phone.
All notifications are allowed for the phone and messaging apps. I've also set the battery manager to NOT turn off those apps to save power during screen off. I've tried other phone apps, though I didn't think this should matter but why not try
The deck is a JVC KW-V930BW and the phone is a P10 plus. All other Android Auto features seem to function correctly. I read in a forum for some other phone brand that exhibits the same behavior that it is due to some security feature in that phone and cannot be changed. I wonder if that is the case with the P10 plus?
Anyone else run into this or have a fix? Thanks all!
PS: not interested in rooting.
follow-up
From a thread in another forum, this appears to be an android auto/huawei compatibility issue that they're working on. A recent update seems to have fixed an sms issue so now text messages are read back to me. Regarding the phone notifications, I've mounted the phone using a magnetic vent mount close the steering wheel so I can end calls easily from the phone itself. I'm going to call that "good enough"
It seems to working now with B171, at least in my A6 from 2015 with the latest MMI-Update.

All of a sudden mine is working too, though still on B170. The only thing that changed that I can recall is I updated Google Messages and was prompted whether I wanted to make it my default messaging app to which I agreed.

Android 11 WiFi Hotspot not toggled since update

Hey there,
on my Samsung Note 10+ is an app running called Profiles. I use this neat app for years and since I updated my OS to Android 11 this app cannot switch on or off the WiFi Hotspot.
The app is kinda 'if this than that' style but locally, like when I connect to my WiFi at home or work lower ringing sounds etc.
The hotspot was activated as soon as I connect to my cars Bluetooth, but now Google has somehow changed something with the Hotspot start/stop on Android 11 and the dev cant get it to work.
Any idea if there is an other app out there which supports WiFi Hotspot on / off toggle when connecting to a specific BT device for Android 11?
Thanks in advance

Android Auto disconnects when GPS lost

Hello,
I have a problem with Android Auto running on Samsung A5 2016 on Lineage 17.1.
Everything works ok until the GPS signal is lost. After that AA disconnects from car's unit. It makes AA completely unusable...
Does anybody experience similar problem?
Information about the configuration which may be related to the problem:
Phone is rooted with magisk 20.4.
OpenGApps micro installed.
AA installed (6.7) manually separately since it's not officially available in Poland.
AAMirror installed.
Automate app configured to turn on/off airplane mode, switch off/on GPS, change screen resolution and density after car mode is turned off/on.
—edit—
Problem can be related to mobile network range as well. AA disconnects when I drive into the garage or tunnel. I assumed GPS is the problem, but network signal is also week there...
