Since Google has eliminated face unlock, I'm curious to know if I can replace it with some app / module in a custom rom and in particolar on lineage os.

Switched to a custom rom after using oos for many months.
Trusted face is really slow and insecure (gets unlocked with a photo)
Any way to get Oxygen OS face unlock on custom roms?
Hello!
I'm new to modifying anything on any device.
I'm wondering is it possible to install Lineage OS or any custom OS on Matepad Pro? If so do you have any suitable tutorials for this purpose?
Need I root the device first in order to install custom os?
Cheers
Hi
At the moment the only thing you can do is to install Google Services with googlefier. For this you need to downgrade your MatePad to version 10.1.0.120. After downgrading you can install all the google services.
Googlefier lets you easily install Google apps on Huawei and Honor devices (xda-developers.com)
To install custom Roms you need to unlock the bootloader which not possible for now. I also thought about brute force the unlock code from the bootloader. But sadly, the needed commands aren't available.
MatePad Pro supports Project treble. You possibly can install GSI Roms. But as said above, without unlocking we can't to anything..

If you are rooted use magisk to hide root (including hide magisk with a random package name)

Already installed this lineageos 17 mint version. Its work very good. Netflix work too. Can record netflix with inapp sound too finally. Thanks for help
I am currently on factory default rom for my Google pixel 4xl. To my surprise , after over an year of use I thought of enabling the voLTE and realized the feature don't work anywhere except in usa only by google. Just wanted to check if I switched to custom rom like lineage os would support the feature.
Was able to figure out the solution. Thanks to original poster who helped the community and pixel phones features usable. More info in the link below.

Hi everyone, out of curiosity, why there is no face unlock option on A12 AOSP roms? But on MIUI 13 has face unlock? Currently I'm using MIUI 13 by Xiaomi EU, and the main reason is face unlock and my sweaty hands.
Google Removed FaceUnlock i think in Android 10, you can ask your Rom maintainer to Implement it.
Pixel Experience 12 have added face unlock again, not every phone model has had an update for it though. I would say android 12 is still fairly new so i think performance and stability are priority for rom devs right now
Also, cDroid 12 have added face unlock
