Idea for a new application

Hey peeps!
I have this new idea for a app that runs on phones with secondary front cams.
Unlock the screen by it doing a face recognition of your face, no need to passcode or pattern lock it...
Hope to see it soon.
If an app like this is alredy available, please post it here, if not - DEVELOP IT AND POST IT HERE!

thats a great idea, the tech already works well enough on laptops so hopefully some bright spark can make it a reality

Would it always have the camera running or only when a button is pressed. I can definitely see this being possible and not too hard to dev.

Exactllly! And still, only noobs like me are seeing seeing this stuff... Some real programmers! Do this!

Camera will wake up as soon as the screen wakes up, and if it sees you, it should unlock.

This is a great idea for an app. Unfortunately, I don't have nearly enough coding skills to pull off facial recognition...

...and I only have skills to successfully use it

It would need something along the lines of Google Goggles recognition software.

Maybe someone can rip off the api's from goggles and make it work offline

Not a bad "concept" but not likely to be done until Gingerbread is used by all the phones.
You see the api to access the ffc on Froyo is very phone specific wich would only make this app run on the Galaxy S (other phones would work also but with a lot of work).
Second problem is how would you unlock your phone when it's complete black (I mean no light at all) would be a very stupid situation to find yourself in isn’t it ?

The sight of my hungover face first thing in the morning is enough to make my phone go to sleep for good lol
Nice idea though, might have an issue with varying light levels though

Can't light sensor and screen work together to bring the enough light for camera to work?

hi DanDroidian. HiddeEye functions as device admin to monitor screen unlocks. you must first deactivate it before you get to uninstall it. no need to worry.. thats how device admin apps work..

Fair enough.
Ifirst went to "manage apps" and it was NOWHERE to be found.
I finally deleted it with Titanium Backup.
When I went back to the Market, it gave me that screen shot and neither option worked at that point.
I guess it's uninstalled though.
Thx.

I'm just interested in enabling it when I leave the phone lying around the house/on the bar/on my desk in work/etc to see if anyone's accessing it. I don't want to pin/pattern lock it as my kids play games on there, and it will draw suspicion if my phone is suddenly pin/pattern locked.

Does it work on custom ROMs? and Does it email out the photos?
I use GotYa at the moment, and it doesn't work too well with CM9/CM10, but emails the photo to an email address of your choice with the location every time there is a security breach

Yes, it does works on custom roms. I have tried on a few custom roms and it worked fine. Hidden Eye does not email out photos at the moment, but you can sync the photos with dropbox so that you can view it on your computer. Images are stored in DCIM folder.

Can you check if you have done the following...
1. Set Security Status to ON. (Click Activate on the next screen when prompted)
2. Checkbox for "Sound Alarm after 3 attempts" is selected.
Is it taking pictures and are you able to view those ?

Thanks for pointing it out.. i just learn't that nexus does not allow apps to use its camera.. I will be putting an update soon, which will allow you to install the app on nexus, but no photographs will be taken.. You can only configure HiddenEye to sound alarm or to notify you that someone has tried to unlock the phone. Unfortunately, you will not be able to see their picture ;(

Can you confirm if you have done the following...
1. Security Status = ON
2. Set Pin or Pattern to your lock screen...
3. turn on notification and sound alarm
Once you have done these, then try entering invalid passwords on lockscreen... check if anyone of these are working..
a) taking pictures.
b) hidden eye alert on the notification bar
c) play your default ringtone after 3 failed attempts..
let me know how it goes.. thanks for trying...

Installs fine. Alarm works after failed attempts, but no picture, Shows icon
placeholders. Notification working.

Pictures taken but just logo. Not real pictures.

can we delete all the pictures rather then keeping the last 6?
was testing it alot and its always showing the last 6. wanted to clear them out once i got it right.
Please advise

Pictures do not save only shows the placeholder image. After you get this sorted out I have a suggestion for a possible feature. Automatic upload to drop box or to have the picture sent to a specified email. It would be great as a backup if the device was stolen. As we know the Nexus 7 does not have cell service so tracking it when lost would be difficult. That being said most thieves are going to try to unlock it once while still in a hotspot. This would make a great chance to capture their picture.

[ROM] CM12-Light BETA

A port from a S3's CM12 ROM for the [SGH-T399] Samsung Galaxy Light .
DISCLAIMER READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. This ROM was built for the T399, even though it was built on a rom that presumably worked on both models. People with Metro encounter FCs and Reboots when using High Accuracy GPS.
Android Version:5.0.2
With @Unjustified Dev's CM12 Build (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602113) as a base (Thanks for your service!)
Also the Light in the name isn't because of it's size (yet(?))
Bugs:
- stock Cam still iffy, 3-rd party cam apps work. From personal use, Focal (by CM) works great, Cam Mx is good too.
- Prox/light sensor for telephony (off display when phone to ear) is iffy as well. From my use Gravity Screen has trouble using the light sensor when the flip cover option is not selected (6/10), when it is toggled the use is 8/10. Interestingly, when calling the screen turns off when close to ear flawlessly, sometimes it might not turn back on tho.
- Report if I left some out
--Streaming apps (Netflix, YT, Play Movies) has been reported to be not working. Some report that it's dependent on the .apk version. On the latest ver. of YT it works with no problems on various resolutions.
Oh and also.
I am not responsible to any damage to your device, PLEASE do a Backup of the device on TWRP.
Oh and as of right now I do not have the device in my possession. I GOT IT GUYZ
I'd like to thank you for supporting and testing this and helping to build support for this great device. :highfive:
Want a stock ROM as backup or for daily use? Here's my build Don't it's unstable.
I am holding off development until I get the device, sorry.
Read everything? Good, here's a link as your reward
ROM: V0.1 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35178
(Vanila) V.02 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772131 - CM stuff removed (for now), proximity sensor seems to be better
(Dirty) V0.2.2 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347773480 - build.prop battery tweaks, added cam permissions in the boot.img, let's see if that makes a difference.
(Dirty) V.0.2.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774276 - libs migrations en mas (from stock, let's see where this rides takes us, HAVE A BACKUP READY PLZZZ)
MISC: GPS High Accuracy workaround for Metro (T399N) Read instructions here - THANK YOU @kireflow90 !
Also can I again thank @Unjustified Dev for building a solid CM build? He really did all the hard work.

Let me be the first to say mic seems to be working great while talking now ty. I'm Glad I'm you're little testing subject lol. Ty u again.

Ok so been playing around a bit and the YouTube app works again...mostly. My purchased items still aren't working. I'll upload a log for the camera in a bit

As long as you have a spare to continue using to flash roms then I can't deny something free

Also I will be uploading two versions of the ROM soon, one with build.prop (and soon, among others) tweaks and one that I will keep as vanilla as possible.
I will also try my best to keep this method of release. It could take a day or two tho :/ so please be patient.

Downloading CM12-light+0.2 will give you update when I flash
Edit: only improvement I've found is the proximity sensor. It seems to be a huge improvement. Idk if I just got lucky but it didn't turn the screen on at all

When you upload, since you'll be putting both up, you should put vanilla in the name OR just code them with a V in the name. Like CM12-light+0.2V
