Face unlock doesn't work with any ICS custom rom.

Hey everyone. I have a small problem. I have tried countless of custom roms on my Xperia Play. However, none of them seem to let me use face unlock. I've made sure I'm using the recommended kernel and most up to date version of the rom. I have also used CWM to flash GApps-ICS and Gapps-ICE-facelock, but still I am met with "Face Unlock couldn't start".
At the moment, I am using the Ice Cream Pureness rom and the LuPuS-iCs-BeTa_v3 kernel (which is recommended for this rom)
I have searched the forums here, but found nothing that works. If anyone could please tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

atm i use cyanogenmod 9 rc 2 with the cyanogemod 9 kernel, i can select the option too use face unlock although im not sure if it works (i don't have my phone with me right now) i will test it when i find my phone

Works just fine on GlazedICS for me.

i found it! my phone won't recognize my face but thats probably because the amount of dust infront of the frontfacing camera. it should work just fine on yours.

I'd like it to, but no matter what, it always brings up the error "Face Unlock couldn't start".

Have you tried fixing permissions with cwm? It might be something as silly as that

You don't need to install the face unlock addon anymore, try downloading the latest ICS gapps and cm9 based rom.

Weird.. I've been on the same rom, still is actually n the only problem i've had is in-compatible games, messed up gamepad(needless to say), n portable wifi hotspot. Its still in ver.1. So prob/bugs are there. Mybe u could try the new lupus ics beta v4. See if that help.
Kindly Hit Thanks Button if i've help u in any way.

I don't want to use CM9. I like Ice cream pureness because of its UI and performance. It states in the thread that face unlock should work, but for me it doesn't.

Hey, thanks for the input. I have updated to LuPuS-iCs v4 BFS Version, but am still unfortunately getting the error. Do you think installing the CFS version would work? I really don't know the difference between them.
Also, is there anything like an error log for face unlock that I could post here?

I'm using the cfs ver. Did u flash stock 62 f/w before flasing the rom?? I think if u follow the instruction the latter it should work just fine.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob with Andriod hacking. What is stock 62? I can't seem to find any mention of it in the install instructions. But in the meanwhile, I'll flash the cfs version to see if that works. Thanks
EDIT: It didn't

Ok. 62 f/w is a stock firmware that end with 62 in the build number. U can find'em in the dev stickies section. And its a must use/requirment firmware for installing Ics. It got a lot of optimization on it. Yeah it dosen't say in the op. But if u run all the discussion in the thread n mybe u should, u'll find every1 is talking bout it there.

When u flash a full .ftf using flashtool everything will be wipe clean. It givs u the factory stock system looks etc. After booting to the stock f/w u can start flashing any rom u want. Mybe u should check a guide on how to flash stock f/w, coz its like "fallback" whenever u hit a wall n don't know what else to do.

Sigh, I give up. Even after flashing stock roms and installing ICS over them, it just still won't work. Face Unlock just isn't worth all of this. I thank you all for your help anyway.

No, you just need the desire z hboot which you seem to have. Don't know what the problem would be. Perhaps someone else may help you out with that.
Just a heads up, I recommend you change your recovery to 4EXT and not clockworkmod recovery.CWM is based on 3EXT, which is outdated. 4EXT has more features and can help make your phone a little faster. The thread is right here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377754
1. Go to the thread and scroll down to 4EXT Free version: Recovery Updater.
2. Click the link and it will bring you to http://www.4ext.net/
3. Download the apk and install it through any file explorer.
4. Once you have that, install the recovery through the app.
5. Now go into your new recovery, go to tools, convert or change a backup EXT4, now convert your system, data, cache, and you're done.
If you like, you can change your backups to 4EXT.

agree with Eddy130306 that 4ext recovery is the way to go
once you use it you will see why it is far superior to clockwork
it does appear you have the dz hboot, but if for some reason you
changed it here is a quick explanation on how to get the dz hboot back

Many Thanks for your help , i am at work now and will give it a try later today
and so u think that i can't boot any sense ROM due to wrong boot and recovery ? and fixing this will help in installing Sense ROMS
i want to install the official Arabic RUU and don't care about root but as i said before i always get error 170 but all tries was at windows 7 although i already updated many device at same PC and Laptop without a problem
if u can guide me to a Stock GB ROM with Arabic support to install from recovery it will be great
Thanks

Hi All
Installed 4ext recovery but still can't install any Sense ROM !! don't know where is the problem exist
as i remember it's hboot was HBOOT-0.78.1000 (PC10*****) so is this make any difference ??
Thanks in advance

yea, if you no longer have the .84 hboot then you won't be able to use sense roms as they require a larger system partition. just follow the link I posted earlier, it will explain how to change bootloaders with fastboot.
I prefer this method as opposed to using a pc10.img in hboot as you "may" need to then reflash your radio and recovery if done wrong.
if you need help using fastboot ask in that thread as I am not the best @ making tutorials

i tried the guide u posted earlier and have HBOOT-0.84.200 (PC10*****) same as shown in photos in first post
is it the problem the device isn't VISION PVT ??? as shown in photos also it's VISION XD ENG S-OFF
Tried This guide and the update succeed but i still have the same info at my HBOOT Screen
Is there any chance that this is G2 and not a Desire Z ,, it came with Froyo but with Froyo UI not the HTC Sense but with all HTC icons and style in menu and setting ..
i am really disappointed as it's a friend device and i want to bring it back to life by anyway
Thanks

If it came with froyo stock. Then most likely it is a g2.

are you flashing those through recovery? those roms aren't ment to be flashed through recovery, rather through hboot. doing so may cause issues though as they are to flash radio/rom/recovery/etc
rather you can extract and just flash what you need either through hboot or fastboot
I believe there are arabic roms on xda that are rooted and can be flashed through recovery, if I get time ill try and dig one up, pretty sure I've seen some
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Hm I don't think having a dz or g2 makes a difference. Same phone and everything, just different branding and of course partions due to different hboots. You have a dz. You can check so by looking at the top of the screen. Having HTC on top means you have a dz. Having T-Mobile means its a g2.

[ROOT] How to Root Walton Primo G1 Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (MT6577)

I have got many request on XDA and also from my friends that after upgrading Walton Primo G1 to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 they aren't able to root their device as before with one click root ( script ) ....
So many of them refused to update ...
Well just finished writing a script that seems to root Walton Primo G1 Jelly Bean 4.1.1 .. ( just rooted 5 G1 yesterday so don't worry ) . You have to flash the .zip through CWM ...
This Script will work on almost every MT6577 and still on testing on Further MT65XX besed processor with Jelly Bean Rom....
So Stay tuned to this post ..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is the details instruction on how to install CWM and Root your Desired G1 Jelly Bean 4.1.1
First Download the Attachment file and save it to some place safe ...
Transfer the Jelly_bean_root_6577.zip file to your device sdcard .......
Open your version of SP Flash Tools ( the one that you have used to upgrade to JB ) ..
Load the MTK scatter file from attachment and then trick recovery and browse the downloaded file ( recovery-cwm -jb.img ) ... then hit download and turn off your primo g1 pull out the battery and reinsert it , then connect it with mini usb cable ( with or without battery )..... and you will see these pic below ...
You can also use my previous CWM from Walton Android Shop thread here .... But this one has just compiled besed on the stock jelly bean 4.1.1 recovery ...

then it will start to flash CWM to your primo g1 ..
if everything goes alright then you will get this pic below ..
CWM has just being flashed to your primo ... Go to recovery mode by Power + Vol up Button ( let go when you will see the walton logo .. )
In CWM go to Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd > choose the Jelly_bean_root_6577.zip file and > apply yes ... then resart your device ..
Congratulation ... :good: your Primo G1 Jelly Bean 4.1.1 has been rooted ...
If you are thinking to copy this thread to another forum .... ( ..i have seen many duplicate copies ..) then you are most welcomed but you should include this main XDA thread with copy... in this way the user will not be confused ... becz i continuously updates my post according to user request and submitted bug ... so those changes didn't reach to the other duplicated copy i suppose ...

howdy brother. great work. though i m not using primo G1, but i noticed many people were frustrated about rooting JB. anyways congratulation.
btw, i m using W125 based on MTK 6589, which is also exact copy of xolo q800. but the rooting method is not working for us. i dont know why. trying to root using the method that xolo uses, many people have already lost their stock recovery. So any chance that we will see ur magic again. once again, keep it up brother. we need people like u in our android community.

hboots
Vaiya , what about the hboots in G1 , whats the Stock hboot size system/cache/data , and does it have any other page for custom ROMs for G1 in XDA thread ? and if there is , do we have to always install the ROM via Flash tool or via CWM by "install from sd card" .. and the last question , will fastboot commander work with G1?? .. Thnx in advance and great work!! really appriciate .. ! :cyclops:

ok here it is.

Hboot is found in HTC devices and considered as baseband
b2b doesn't have a hboot but basebrand could be found in preloader , dsp may be..... And there is no custom Rom for g1 . It us a new device. And fastboot command works on almost All Android and so as g1.

download the ROM and save it on SDCARD
reboot device into recovery
make sure that the /system partition is unmounted, i have noticed that in some kernels the /system partition remains mounted
flash the ROMs update.zip (this will take some time)
thats it now reboot device!!
at first boot device will reboot once after bootanimation thats expected
next boot will take a long time!!!
it might happen that in after some reboots u get a "flashing firmware screen" thats ok.. let it complete... DO NOT DISTURB WHILE THAT PROCESS IS GOING ON!!!
after a few reboots the ROM should stabilize!
enjoy!

For those getting error 7 try this:
Get into recovery and see. if /system is mounted, unmount it first!.
If it isn't mounted mount and unmount
The trick is that if it can't mount then it will fail with error 7. So if you can't mount and unmount don't flash DoomLord's Rom yet
You need the FIXED recovery that DoomLord uploaded.
Now we have to fix the script DoomLord uploaded. Download DoomLord's fixed recovery and right click the install.bat file and select edit.
Near the end of the file there is the line that says reboot. erase that line!!
It seems there are times the reboot is too fast and the recovery install is interrupted. So we will have to reboot the phone manually.
Now save the file and run it. As you can see in the script's last lines they begin with the word su. That means it is asking for root. If your phone has root there is a chance a dialog appears asking for permission. say yes!!! if it doesn't ask maybe a toast message will appear saying "shell has been granted root permissions"
Anyway you should be checking your phone's screen constantly
If you see either the toast or dialog then we are fine to reboot and it will automatically enter recovery. repeat step 1 to verify if you can mount and unmount /system.
If you didn't see any of those then you might not have root and need to root first!
If after all this you can mount and unmount /system then you shouldn't have trouble to flash just remember to unmount /system before flashing the room.
That's it good luck.
Click thanks if I helped you.

i talked to customer service of SONY in Greece and they told me that 1080p video has "no problem" (?????????) after i insisted they told me to do a clean install and if it will not work to send the phone to them and they will see what to do! my opinion is that probably they know well the problem and they try to earn some time before everybody sends back his phone (to expire some warranties) or to root our phones and void the warranties, so they have as less as possible losses! i cannot imagine anything else.

Thanks DooM, eagerly waiting for this. Prerooted for the win!

Thank you very much DooM. Now it's time to work on a new kernel

Thanks in advance for this. I'm going to install on my locked XPS. I'm not unlocking it until the warranty runs out.

great.but any changes？

Even if 1080p is laggy, isn't it possible now to replace the libs with the ones from the custom 4.2.2 builds? Since we now have the kernel so we can easily flash them, no?

waiting for recovery for LB.

thank you! this is an official ROM pre-root or custom ROM?

I've made a donation until it uploads, mate. I really appreciate this.
Is it best flashing stock .45 or .55 (Generic World), root, CWM and flash this one in CWM doing a full wipe?
Or can I just flash this on my present ROM - from PCarvalho - doing a full wipe?
(I have my Titanium backup, so quickly flashing .55 or .45 is not a big deal)
Once again - You are AWESOME!

F5 every five minutes

as this is official does it have battery stamina mode ??

I don't see difference official and Leak .200 ROM. All off item in about phone are same, like kernel and Baseband version.

Hello Doomlord, thank you for your job
the link for the download is dead it seems
EDIT:

Have you tried an one click...using PC Odin...
Give everybody some more info..

I've tried every one click on my PC w Odin. Rooted, unrooted, full restore ect. Every jb rom flashes but stays in boot loop on the rom boot up screen.

You try the official release from sammobile.com
also..did up go into recovery and try to wipe cache and dalvik after the bootloop to see if that fixed it.
If none of the above has worked.. I would Odin back to the official firmware you're device came with... then try to Odin a JB one click or probably the official release. Sounds like maybe something is wonky with you're partition... I've never had this issue on my epic... but I did run into a similiar issue once with my gtab 10.1 and I had to wipe it and Odin the original firmware to fix it...
That being said... my tab never had an official JB release and so never needed a change in the partition...as we all run cm/aosp/aokp based roms. But that is how I managed to get it to flash roms again..
Let me know and good luck..

Also try pulling the battery ascends doing a factory reset during the bootloop

I will try this when I get home. Even the original VM software boot loops.

Any idea of why I get a failed status 7 when I try to flash the kitkat from ?

You need a Newer CWM version in order for it to flash, unfortunately you need to be on a 4.3.1 ROM like hood pope to have the latest recovery version.

You remember... in the other thread you started about kitkat..
Bilgerryan said it was an error something or other... probably from something missing, like a comma or period or whatever... believe him.
He is the Man... maybe a new update will fix the issue... if one does exist. I'm not sure, as I've yet to even look into the thread recently... but I will tomorrow afternoon and see if I can flash it.
If I can... well... we'll have to figure out the issue on you're end.
Edit... if gamepro is right... then that's a simple solution... I'll try tomorrow.

Can't I just flash the newer cwm

Then I would say gamepro is correct... flash 4.3..then reboot recovery and do you're wipes and flash 4.4..
I'll try tomorrow... afternoon.

Is there a new cwm recovery over there.... I've been on tw based roms for so long... I haven't been watching. But I'll look.

My phone want flash jb roms gonna have to find a fix for that first..I thought maybe it would flash kitkat and not have to worry about jb.

OK so I flashed hood pope and of course it did nothing but boot loop like all jb roms do on my phone , so I used the new cwm that comes w hood pope and flashed kitkat. It flashed but boot loop city like all jb roms. Now I'm back on my ics cm9 the old man. Can't do anything until this issue gets fixed on my phone or get a new phone.
