Face unlock doesn't work with any ICS custom rom. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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.

Works!
Flashed the ROM.
Android: 2.3.5
HTC Sense 2.1
Soft. nmb: 2.13.720.1
Looks like stock ROM, with Root just as explained. SuperSu installed. Rest is as STOCK.
Awesome! So this means i can flash Custom Roms!
Is it just replacing the BOOT.img + SYSTEM.img files from your download?
@samkuiper 9
have you managed to install Rom manager and flash a custom recovery yet on this rooted Rom your now using? also are you able to reboot into clockwork mod recovery? sorry for all the questions

It seems to already have CWM 2.0.5.8 (thats what Rom manager says..)
Can't flash any recovery right now beceause adb keeps saying "conneting to device"....
I tried Alquez's PG76IMG unofficial cwm recovery 2.0.5.6 in root folder and open Hboot. This gave me invallid CID.
So can't help you right now. Rom manager works thats one thing.. x'D
Reboot into recovery gave me the same screen again.
Flashed recovery through Rom manager, it said succesfull. Than reboot into recovery -> after HTC screen -> blackscreen buttons lit up.... Same story all over again.
But the good news is you don't need recovery any more, because of this tool! so who cares? More important is can we flash are own roms by just replacing the files system.img and boot.img in the file he gave us?!?!

Could Not Flash To Page Plus Because Of Custom Rom?

I went to a local page plus dealer and after several tries trying to flash i was told i could flash my phone because of my memory was read only or something like that? Is this something dealing with the kernel? I'm on Aokp and i see the yellow triangle every time i boot up..
Your rom should only make it easier imo.. Id suggest flashing a stock rom for dial codes such as the mms fix and 4g mac address alterations, if you even need it!
Flash it back to stock using odin, go get it flashed, then root and rom.
Another suggestion is to learn the "flashing" process. Youd be surprised at what youll learn and it comes in handy!
As always read, read again, and re read everything you just read!

Thanks for the quick reply!!
Long story short, i just bought this phone 2 days ago and i'm trying to grasp everything.
I came from a droid x and it was much different. To go back to factory, all we had to do was SBF.
Are you familiar with what files i need to go back to stock?
Oh yeah, im currently on a nandroid backup that i made when i first rooted my phone. But i see that i'm on Agat's dirty kernel. Which kernel do i need to be back stock? EL26? FH13? etc
Maybe this would help as well:

Take a glance in the dev section it has everything youll need there. I suggest EL26 odin package. NO BRICK! id also read up on the post in this section describing "for the most part" the flashing process for boost. That will kinda give you a general overview of what your in for if you decide you wanna do it yourself. Btw odin isnt hard to figure out at all at all but like i said read the directions in the op carefully TWICE, THEN AGAIN AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AND READ IT AS YOUR DOING THE FLASH PROCESS.

Yeah i learned to flash between boost and verizon/sprint and some tricks a few months ago but im no pro.. It honestly doesnt matter what your on or what your using.. Odin is pretty simple and you can use it on whatever rom. at least i have. But you take your own risks lol if you screw it up its not on me.

Ahhh...I think i'm learning..So with my droid x, i used to use Rslite(Not sure if you're familiar with it) to go back to my stock ota rom.
I'm assuming Odin would be the same thing. It lets me go back to Ota updates whenever? Am i on the right track?
Yeap! I had an atrix but i prefer samsung. And your definately on the right track. Odin can be used to flash custom roms as well if there made for it.

Great work once again. My wife refuses to go to custom ROMs and this week I quickly rooted her phone and froze updates so she wouldn't lose the ability to do so in the future. Only downside was not getting the latest update. Then here you are solving that issue for me. It's like you were in my head or something! :silly:
Newbie type question though - will data be effected by flashing this or can i just flash on top stock and retain all her data, apps, accounts and settings?
Thanks
This may be a stupid question, but If I run this to update from MDL will it wipe my apps and have to re-install them and will I loose my customizations to make google wallet and Hangouts video chat over the network work?
Well good morning to me.
Thank you Scott!!
worked great on stock rooted with TWRP, just had to remember to flash loki-doki
Wow, thanks, this should be good, I knew to wait until a professional got a hold of it: Thanks serious.

Did you revert back to MDL, or does this package not flash/include the MF3 modem?

Great work once again. My wife refuses to go to custom ROMs and this week I quickly rooted her phone and froze updates so she wouldn't lose the ability to do so in the future. Only downside was not getting the latest update. Then here you are solving that issue for me. It's like you were in my head or something! :silly:
Newbie type question though - will data be effected by flashing this or can i just flash on top stock and retain all her data, apps, accounts and settings?
Thanks

It should be a solid inplace update going from stock to stock rooted.
truckmann said:
This may be a stupid question, but If I run this to update from MDL will it wipe my apps and have to re-install them and will I loose my customizations to make google wallet and Hangouts video chat over the network work?

You will loose those, yes.
Its a stock ROM.

Yep, should work on any recovery. I left Loki out of it because of the variations of people and configurations that will flash this.

Wow, thanks, this should be good, I knew to wait until a professional got a hold of it: Thanks serious.

Word!
I actually had this done the about an hour after the OTA was out...
Long story short... I had a bad binary updater file that caused me to pull my already thin hair out. Then another guy, jetlitheone, gave me a really simple idea... Try another updater binary... and... BOOM!
SO credits to jetlitheone for making me not go insane on this build.
Funny thing... No ****... It was the same binary I used on every version of the S4 ROMS I have made before this one... I dont get it... But its now in the past, lol :silly:

nice job scott!! :good: mind if is use this as a base ?

Anyone can use this ROM for any thing they want. Please refer to post #2. Whenever I post a stock rooted ROM its for EVERYONE to make there own or make a public ROM out of.
All yours man...
But credit for the base should be given of course!
TheAxman said:
Now let me ask the stupid question, if I flash this, can we still have the ability to run custom roms after? meaning, we won't be locked into MF3 will we.
Click to expand...

No, this is JUST the ROM, no firmware, no radios, etc.
You can flash this on the MDL firmware just like any other ROM and swap back to any other ROM.
BUt this thing, cleaned up, is HELLA SMOOTH!
Even stock rooted untweaked is smooth! I was impressed! I was about to chuck the S4 after using my HTC One... BUt now I will keep both

See above, just the ROM. You do your own modem.
Do not flash any of the SBL's are in another post. They are simply not needed for this ROM. I made it work with the old firmware... Which is the most safe route to go!!!
You can however flash the MF3 radio! Heard it runs good on this base according to a couple guys in my CleanROM thread.
Awesoem work partner!... yourrrrr goooooodddd

Yeah everyone you can find the radios/modem quite easy, if you guys cannot I can link a flashable zip once I find it
thanks for the credit, luckily I was up never sleep
edit: ran out of thanks ! :|
Difference between this and Cleanrom 1.5?
hi scott!
just wondering what is the difference between this ROM and CleanRom 1.5?
is this one just complete Stock ATT? ( NON-CleanRom Modified?)
thanks!

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.

umm ^^ you are in the wrong section i think this is the g3 Developers only thread not the Verizon section ^^
Why would you post a non-functional rom ?
Mako plz
Seriously.. You posted a non functional ROM you builded. Why?
Lmfao. Nothin like watching your phone bootloop. Why hasn't a mod been called in yet? This is why XDA has gone to crap.

This subforum is titled: G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]. XDA is a development community, posting a thread with source and updating it with issues and a logcat is literally the purpose of XDA. He never labeled this a working rom, spamming the thread with this stuff is why XDA has gone to crap.

Some very weird and out of place posts ITT
We appreciate your efforts @manups4e. I'm no android expert but id like to help where i can. Maybe it would be a good idea to setup an IRC channel dedicated to G3 development, would anyone be interested in this?
Members,
Moved to the General section as I don't find any purpose of this ROM posted instead of asking other Devs to help sorting it.
Importantly, this could have a avalanche effect of people bricking their devices and crying foul about it.
Moved to General section and OP @manups4e please mark clearly in the first post to mention that it is not booting up.
Thanks
If you guys think I'm posting crap I can still stop to post my work and continue working alone there's no problem.. At least my ROM is not fake..
Update: I fixed graphics errors so when phone stops bootlooping I will post a real booting ROM in next days if you want obviously and don't think this is crap u.u

+1, dont be disapointed, dont get beaten down by happy flashers. And they nag about everything that is not OK. There are people that appriciat your work. and even if it will never work, they will still respect you for trying. Dont forget it needs to be fun. And satisfaction on sucses. You will learn more and more alongbthe way. and i expect you will bring us more in the near future.

i'm on xda since my first HTC Tattoo.. cyanogenmod was not so famous... it was just a rom and, on htc tattoo it wasn't working on the first times.. the cook (that time custom roms were called "cooked roms" and the rom makers "cook" that's why you can use dsxda "kitchen" to mod roms) of that cyanogenmod rom posted it because it wasn't working and he was looking for help while trying the rom (first 2.1 rom on a phone with android 1.6). You are talking like this because you saw the other guy faking.. i'm here since 5 years and this is not the first rom i cook and if you are not here to help, just wait for the rom to boot up and when you'll try it, tell me if you'll like it
