Best way to backup Face Unlock? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I recently trained the hell out of the face unlock feature and now it's working blazing fast and very reliable in almost every environment.
But since I don't feel like doing 40+ improvements to face unlock after every ROM I flash, want to back up the face unlock improvement pics.
Does Titanium Backup include this when backing up App+Data? Did someone already try this?

Didn't think people used face unlock. Ya, as long as you backup app data it should be in there. Titanium Backup has that feature.

Thx for the info! I also didn't use it, but recently thought I'd give it a try and when you improve recognition in different lighting it works surprisingly well, it unlocks a lot faster than i can swipe or type in a PIN. And it still offers at least some security compared to the simple unlock swipe (not the pattern).

There is an entry called Face Unlock in Titanium Backup, backing it up should do the trick.
I'm interested to know what improvements you have made to make it faster? Mind sharing?

Ok I'll give it a try, thank you!
I did nothing special, there's a built-in improvement feature since 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 i think. You find it under settings-> security AFTER you set unlock method to face unlock. It appears directly below unlock method and above owner information. It should say something like "improve face recognition" (dunno the settings names for sure, my phone language is german. But I think you get what I'm talking about).
If you tap it you can train the phone to recognize your face under different lighting, with and without glasses, shaved/unshaved and so on. Just keep improving until you feel face unlock works good for you. Mine is 100% accurate right now if there is enough light to see anything at all

there was a previous thread about this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25605137
still no definitive answer though, hopefully the Face Unlock in TB catches everything

You're not supposed to back up system apps/data in titanium though

That's the only problem for me, I use my phone too often when it's too dark to see anything. I tried face unlock for a bit but got annoyed with having to wait for it to timeout. The phone has a light sensor, they need to be using it to go straight to the alternate authentication method in low light.

Instead of waiting, just press the little lock button underneath your image while it is trying to recognize. It will immediately go to pin unlock.

I didn't know about that, I'll try it. It should still be automatic though, hopefully they'll fix that at some point.

Just wanted to confirm that restoring the Face Unlock data through Titanium Backup (restore Data Only) worked fine in restoring my trained face sessions after they were reset when I disabled the Face Unlock feature. As mentioned in that other thread, the file where the data is stored appears to be lockscreen.gal in the /data/data/com.android.facelock directory.

[Poll] Do you use face unlock, pattern, etc?

Just curious about what kind of security people use to unlock their phones. I played with the face unlock when I first got the GN but eventually got too impatient. I'm trying to decide if continuing to "Improve face matching" will eventually make it fast almost every time, or if I should just go ahead and switch to pattern or pin.
If you lock your phone, I found face unlock minimize touching the screen and thus less blur on screen
But sometimes I feel face unlock delay my logging into the phone in case I want to do something quick.... I still prefer pattern unlock

I used to have no pin because I like the stock lockscreen and being able to put SMS phone etc in the slide to unlock. Now that aokp has the option for both I use pin and lockscreen. Feels like iPhone lock exactly

I use pattern..but not for security reasons at all. I got tired of pocket dialing people.

Pin. When you think of the personal information on a smartphone it is a little scary. I have droidlost installed for added protection, but I'll only use a pin because anything else is just to insecure. Most pattern locks can be guessed by smudges on the screen in just a few attempts. Face unlock can be cracked with a bad facebook pic.
While face unlock can be hacked with a picture, no one that finds your lost phone is going to know what you look like. I always thought that was an interesting criticism of the face unlock. My friends might be able to hack into my phone, but that's not really who I'm trying to secure it from.
I also used to only use slide, but I have recently become more and more aware of how much information is available to anyone holding my phone. I think identity theft would be pretty easy if I lost it

Yeah, pin and password are the only two that are very secure, but I just use slide. My mentality is, I'd be much more concerned if someone got ahold of my wallet with all my cash, ids, cards, etc, but I don't put a lock on that. I just keep it with me all the time, same as my phone. I've never lost either and don't plan to! But I do have SeekDroid just in case.
Face Unlock, just so that when I get into the homescreen, JuiceDefender has turn on my Data Connection. Oh, and too impress friends too
Face Unlock.
It is much better than nothing and I don't want to key in the PIN every time the screen is locked.
I never carry my own photo with me other than the one on my driver license which I confirmed would not unlock my phone. So I don't see why people say Face Unlock is useless.
I use a pattern, get it wrong and I have a picture of you emailed to me.
I used slide to unlocked before I installed cerberus, might as well use the features.

Actually it would be very easy to find out. Most lockscreens will splash contact information. If you find my phone you will have my name, work phone number, and multiple email addresses. That is at least three ways to google and find pictures for most people. I would argue that this is the most insecure method possible to lock up your device.

I like to use the pattern, but it gets annoying when I'm just sitting at home texting back and forth, as I have to unlock it every single time. I end up turning the security off lol. Sometimes I'm good and turn it back on when I leave the house.

After enabling Face Unlock, when I touch the power button, I can only see the date, time, and the network name. There is no personal information at all.

Under security settings click 'Owner info' to turn it on. Shows whatever message you want to the hopefully honest person who finds your phone. Only hitch is that if the phone is plugged in it just says "charging xx%" rather than the message. Don't know if that is a bug or if Google just figured that if your phone is plugged in it is probably not lost.
I'm using a PIN because I installed unlock with WiFi and it requires it. When I'm on a registered WiFi network I just slide to unlock.

on demand lockscreen?

searched but couldn't find it so hopefully someone can help.....
i always have my phone right next to me but have my phone set up with a pattern unlock security for those moments that i leave it somewhere in a hurry and not worry about someone being able to get into my stuff but since 95% its right next to me i hate having to do the pattern unlock even though i can do the pattern fast i prefer not have too... so is there an app or shortcut so i can have my phone without a lock but for those quick moments that i need it locked i can activate it with just pressing that app instead of having to go into settings and manually setting it up again then remove it?
Not sure if there is an app specifically for that. Best I can think of is you might be able to set a condition using a app like tasker or impel. Basically, "if I press this button then enable this" I'm not sure how well or if this would even work but its worth a look I suppose.

I don't know of any particular app that does that but I just set my security settings to automatically lock with a delay. I generally leave it at about one or two minutes.

No Lock didn't work but a different app from the store call No Lock Screen works like a charm (for the exact problem you described).
hey @Ma$etas , do you found another app or way to solve your problem ?
Same as you, I need on demand lock screen, I lock when I want. I didn't want to unlock using pattern or pin every time I use my phone.
But, I need to lock it sometimes. If I left my phone on desk, when I'm sleeping and any other condition

Which security do you use? Face Pattern Pin Pass

what one do you use i use face unlock because of the speed hby
it varies on the level of security I need. lol
face unlock is sweet but doesnt work in low lighting
pattern is cool but easy for peeking eyes to guess your code (found this out hard way lol)
plus ive got into peoples phones just by looking at the pattern left in the oil on the screen LMAO!
so for me, i use pin more than anything
I went old school with this one. I do not let other people have access to my phone.
Ha yea pattern is easily recognized by a wandering eye and old fashion way works the best

I use a combination of the old fashioned way, a pattern, and delayed lock with a widget locker lockscreen so I don't get bothered to unlock with the pattern every few minutes when I'm using it intermittently.

I don't like it that patterns and passwords show buttons changing color or trails in the direction you're tracing. Someone nearby could easily watch what you're doing and figure out your pattern or password/code. Also, I wasn't pleased that when I tried using a very long string of numbers, you were limited to something like seventeen or less. I put something like my drivers license number and social strung together but the phone wouldn't take 21 numbers. The reason I picked such a long number sequence is in case someone was watching me enter my code, I kinda doubt they could follow and memorize such a long string easily; especially if entered quickly.

Having to turn the screen on everytime one uses NFC is quite the pain.
wouldn't that be some form of risk to your phone?
Sure it would be a risk but one I might be willing to take due to convenience factor. Yes, it's simple enough to just turn on the power and unlock the phone but sometimes when driving, I don't have the ability to safely power on the screen and then go through the motions of unlocking. It's not for everyone for sure but I am sure that there is a niche market that would love to have it.

Yeah that is true, although you don't have go through any motions if you don't want to, there's always the option to select "None" in the Lock Screen settings so you just press the power button and no Lock Screen shows up at all.
As far as allowing nfc goes I think what would be a better option is unlocking with voice, but so far I personally have yet to see that, that would be better and a nifty feature imo.

Correct
But since going threw the trouble to have the service on all the time. Isnt also just as feasible to activate the process under the same rules as the screen? As an option to not activate it permanently. Im aware of the conditions and rules that govern it stock but I was merely speculating another alternative while the hood was open .

I used for some time smartlock (because Pixel was paired with a smartband), so if it's connected, it was set to unlock in this case without password or fingerprint.
Otherwise, if we use fingerprint it take half second to unlock, so it's almost the same, but each user can decide what is more comfortable for him.

You may need to use gloves or other conditions where you cannot unlock the phone, then smart-lock might be useful. But as you say, in normal condition takes almost the same time. Then what is the point? You ask to remove a function that might be useful to others? Just don't use it if you don't like.
