My mom's Galaxy W has facial recognition unlock on stock 2.3.6. So is there a way to port that to our phone? D:
Edit: after setting up with my face, tried to unlock it with my handsome face but can't unlock it and goes to alternate unlock. Sucks much.

believe me when I say it, face lock is a dodgy novelty, but if you really want it, there's an app in play store called "FaceLock".

I know that app. Used it before and it isn't that good. And I thought Face Unlock is only for ICS?

It's just a feature. It's like creating folders on 2.3.3 on our Plays.
Like said before, it isn't very functional. My brother can unlock my phone if I have it on.

There is a guide online to edit the local.prop file to not force a camera sound, but, ****, we're not rooted so we can't use it. Anyone!?
Update 09/18: Thanks to the amazing zedomax and his root method, you can create a file called "local.prop" on your phone under the /data/ directory and place the code "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" without the quotes in it and reboot and be good to go. In other words:
1. Create a file called local.prop on your device in /data/.
2. Place the line of code ro.camera.sound.forced=0 in the file local.prop and hit Save.
3. Make sure it's in the /data/ folder.
4. Reboot.
5. Enjoy not having that ****ing shotgun blast in your ear every time you want to snap a photo.
Want to revert to stock? Change the code in the file to ro.camera.sound.forced=1.

wait for root...I imagine it won't take too long.
btw, has anyone tried the SGS2 rooting methods yet?
But... It's too damn annoying. And the stock messaging app is so childish
Some have indicated that on the latest camera update for the SGSII, putting the phone on silent or vibrate disables camera sounds. Does this work on the E4GT out of the box?
Its loud as ****!! Sounds like a pistol going off lol

I think this is done to comply with Korean and Japanese law that digital camera must have audible sounds to prevent voyeurs from secretly taking pictures. They have tossed this idea around in the States.

Yeah, it is built into the Camera.apk. You have to delete the sound file which can only be done by rooting it.
this is annoying... why do phone makers force this on us?
Seriously... if I wanted to take inappropriate photos, I would make sure to go out of my way to get a camera that had no shutter noise.
This accomplishes nothing but is extremely annoying.
What I was getting at was that instead of having multiple camera apps per country, they just have one universal apk that follows Korean law.

I love NFC and was hoping to use it a lot with the chips I bought. However unlocking the phone first is really stupid. Is there some way to enable NFC to work at the lock screen? So that the NFC unlocks it or something? It is kinda useless to me now. BTW I have root, but no recovery. I don't want recovery because of the triangle stuff.
why u dont just enable the NFC all the time? i dont think with NFC enable/disable the battery drain is noticable

I think you understood me wrong. NFC doesn't work when the screen is off/locked. That sucks, because I want to use it when coming home/leaving home and I really don't see the point in using this if I have to unlock it first.
Yeah,
Even the manual says it only works when the screen is unlocked.

I'm not trying. Also I just hope there is some way without recovery.
I really hope there will be an "official" way at some point.
If anyone is making a mod for this, maybe we can bypass the security concerns if there was a pop-up that requires you to approve the tag first, and be pre-approved for known tags. This way security is not compromised, and we also get the added convenience as well.

You can just extract the zip using something like rom toolbox, and then copy the files to there respective place manually, that way you don't need recovery.

Seconded, would love this for my note ii
I'm using this method which is for Note 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999569
Works fine. Have set up a few tags and using it with Secure Settings, NFC Task Launcher and Tasker to do a number of things without having to wake the phone up or unlock first.
The only issue is that if you put your wallet in the same pocket as your phone, it will beep when it scans the the NFC chips in the credit cards
The method replaces the NFC service file in the system directory so at the very least you need root access.

Thanks for the link, looks promising. Now i just need to figure out how to install it without using clockworkmod...
Edit: Kindly, today, dr.ketan told us how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36824840&postcount=1
All works for me, woohoo but whenever you use the browser or chrome, it crashes the nfc service
I'm experiencing that problem as well now. Also on launching YouTube service. It's annoying and makes it more inconvenient than having nfc screen off. There is another method through XposedFramework which is non destructive on the stock NFC.apk file. Might be worth a look?
www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/nfc-lockscreenoff-enabler.9/viewfile
But before that, I tried to restore my NFC to a non crashing version after doing the CWM method. I couldn't get my stock NFC.apk back, even with TitaniunBackup. Had to do a selective /system restore.

I could see ADM being a big deal for Nexus owners or people who own phones that the manufacturer doesn't provide a wipe/tracking feature for. Samsung's Find My Mobile (ex-Dive) has been around for two years and has more features than Google's ADM. Does anyone see any features or benefits ADM provides over Find My Mobile?

And notification's a bad thing? What if someone hacks your Google account and is tracking you via ADM or maliciously sends a wipe command to your phone? Without any notification you'd have no idea. The first thing I'd do on FMM if I truly lost my phone is remote lock it, even before tracking it. The lock command you send to the device allows you to have a 100 character message appear on the lock screen along with a number to call about returning the phone. Which by the way isn't something you can even do (yet) with ADM. Once it's locked the person who finds it (or stole it) can't do anything with it including turning off its wireless signal(s) or reading notifications. And if the phone's in your possession and you track it, ring it or pull a call log who cares that there's a notification? I kind of see your point though in that if the phone's been intentionally stolen the thief could see the FMM tracking notice in the notification bar (there's no audible alert) if the phone wasn't locked first. But a thief that knows Android would immediately hard reset the phone (or disable Wi-Fi and mobile data) right after stealing it which renders both ADM and FMM useless anyway.
It's useless if ur phone is stolen. But very useful if u forgot where u placed your phone. Getting it to ring enables me to find My phone much easier instead of calling myself
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
All of this is useless because it is enough for someone that steals/finds your phone to take out the SIM card and no way any software can tell you where it is... so it is very limited help.
Will this require the internet to be turned on my phone?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
Yup. It basically connects to your samsung account which your phone is logged on to. A hard reset will remove your samsung account login details so this is really useless if stolen.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
What about hardreset? Will ADM survive from a hardreset?
Don't expect too much since it's an added free feature. I'm personally using Cerberus which have full of features and I don't compare the two side by side. Maybe you don't need it now but this small new feature will be of help when you really need it.

No phone is completely stock.
I've just found out that, it was SU Pro key app which was hiding away that had transfered/auto synced from my note 4, and even though the Z5p was not actually unlocked or rooted, ps app was detecting a root related app!
Crazy security measures.
