True Silent Mode 2.9 [free]

Attention: The statusbar icon currently only works out-of-the-box with AOSP ROMs!
This is caused by a bug in Xposed which will probably be fixed in the next Xposed version.
Until then you can use this workaround to make it work: http://goo.gl/GQnfJv

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).
