Edit: I didn't see a way to delete this thread, and I guess it belongs in the Q&A forum. Sorry.
Hello. First post. I hope I searched adequately.
I have a Galaxy Nexus LTE device, and I have been using the face unlock feature. I have taken approx. 25 pics of my face, in various lighting conditions, both with and without my fedora perched upon my noggin, all in an effort to improve the utility, speed and efficacy of the face unlock feature.
My question: Does anyone know how many photos the device/software is capable of using to improve the efficacy of the face unlock feature? I'll just keep adding more examples of my face if it helps, but if the device and/or software (ICS), are only capable of using 5, or 10, or 15 photos as a 'database' of sorts to improve face unlock, then I don't want to keep wasting time adding new examples of my face.
So, does anyone know how many pics the face unlock feature can reference in its use?
Thanks!
Where did you find this option? I can't see it anywhere on my 4.0.1 Nexus.
This may be interesting, I find Face Recognition much more effective if you set up your "face" in a darker environment

No idea but after taking about 4 in various conditions I found that my gnex recognizes my face in all but the darkest conditions

settings> security> improve face matching.
Edit: How are people still on 4.0.1? Is it because you rooted before the OTA that came out on day 1 of release?

Root has nothing to do with it. Some people have the Samsung builds which, to my knowledge, none has received 4.0.2 yet. Also, they stagger releases so not all phones receive the update at the same time.

I have done this a few times and have gotten it perfect, I love face unlock.
To the other questions, this was one of the "lockscreen improvements" on 4.0.2, 4.0.1 does not have it.

Thanks for clearing this out for me.
And to others, I'm pure yakju, UK. Things just seem to move slower here. Possibly Google wants to skip 4.0.2 and focus on 4.0.3 over here?

I wish someone would figure this out too!!
Yeah I was wondering too. I've taken more then 15 pictures with the improve feature.
Have we gotten a valid response to the ?. I would also like to know if taking mulitpule pictures would actually help or if it only keep the most recent like 5. Thank guys.

Where did you ever here of the last 5? Anytime i have a face unreconized, i take another "improve picture". I hope i am not bumping out my older pictures.
I also heard people using 2 people faces and it still works.
FYI: titanium backup works to restore the photos across roms.
Just asking myself, is this a safe method? It's easy, but safe. I wrote an article where describes that it was very easy to unlock a phone just with a picture of the owner. it's only was a issue about the size of the pic, but with some tryings, phone was unlocked but not by the owner himself

I agree with you that it is not 100% unlockable. But it is only unloackable by someone who knows you. If you lose your phone in a taxi it will not be unlocked. If there are people who you live with or work with and not comfortable with them seeing what is on the phone, then it will not work. I have no issues with my kids trying to break into my phone(they have the code anyway to play games).
I do not have my corporate email on MY phone due to their corporate policy that face recognition is not allowed with their email. (My personal policy says i do not need to read work email on my time)
Where is you article?
It is a Dutch article what I found when I was Googling Face Unlock, it was a kinda review site voor Android phones.
glad my boss hasn't found out 'bout face unlock while I'm using my phone as a work phone (and get paid for it)
Will try to find that article an translate it into englisch with Google chrome (can't be worser then my knowledge of englisch hahahah)

They released an extra measure of security in jelly bean by adding a "blink" option, to validate that it's a person and not a picture. But it's not a completely safe method, and you'll notice the phone requires you to make a pattern or PIN lock before it allows you to add a VPN connection.

hi,,
what about modaco-superboot.zip? doest it unlock the bootloader of Lenovo p2?
Thank you,,
^Better unlock via the option within the phone's settings. Nobody can tell you if the superboot.zip will work or not. Mine is only 5 days from the life of freedom.

I stumbled on this http://www.unlock-bootloaders.tech/2016/12/lenovo-p2-8319.html but it might well be a fake since they say "I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com" and I can't find anything here and the file to download is behind a "complete offer" wall...Now it seems that modaco-superboot.zip file might be "generic" so the one on XDA https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=...ui6ckfV3A&sig2=0oDFAOzdaw9JZwAMyRmKJA&cad=rja might work ?
Sorry don't have the P2 yet to try !
After giving it some thought it must be a fake !
It's really annoying that Lenovo have this 14 day rule, can't really see the purpose ? They don't have it on the K6 for instance.
My waiting time ended yesterday. However I don't see much reason to root or do custom ROM's really. The camera is bad as it is and stock is pretty Vanilla. Theming would be the main reason for me. But won't go through a reset for that at the moment.
How did the process work ? You clicked on OEM unlocking in the developer settings and just had to wait 14 days or did they send you an activation code by email ?
As for rooting, just for AdAway I'd say it's worth it !

The waiting period is over I have not done anyting after that so I don't know the process. We'll see maybe I'll unlock it soon. The camera app itself is so bad I won't miss it. It's a pain taking great photos with the stock camera app it's so sensitive to changes in light.
So it's just an arbitrary waiting period, odd!
The camera app on the K6 is not bad, in fact the panorama feature is really good. I'll check the exposure lock options, or lack of.

You can control the net traffic with local VPNs like Netguard. Don't see a reason for unlocking only because of Ad removal.
By the way the 14 days waiting period exists because of security reason. "Bad guys" can not buy the phone, unlock it, install "bad software" and sell it to honest customers within an hour. They have to wait 14 days and need a lot of SIM-cards. My old Huwai Mate 2 had the same 14 day lock.

Thanks DNS66 looks a lot like AdAway but in chrome I get a frame for the blocked ad, with AdAway the area is just "removed", maybe there's a setting I'm not seeing ?
Since Google has removed Face Unlock from the Pixel 3 and 3XL is anyone aware of an alternative app that would work?
I recommend you the magisk module called "Google Face Unlock".
It adds the Trusted Face option in Smart Lock and works like a charm but if someone have another alternative I'll take it. I hope it can help you !
I also want alternative because trusted face is removed from smart lock

How do you do that? Sorry about the noob question, but I haven't really modified my phone in YEARS! Unfortunately with PIXEL 3, that's changed... I already miss previous pixels and nexus!!
It doesnt work and also i dont want to root because of banking apps

It's working, but it's not auto unlock the screen. You have to swipe up after your face is recognized.
U have to root ur phone with Magisk and then simply flash the Module. It's stated to be for 8.1 but it's working on 9.0 as well.

Not all. Chase doesn't work with root any longer, even after following several steps to hide, at least for me. I've read that it's hit or miss.

You have to follow the guide to root your phone in the "GOOGLE PIXEL 3 XL GUIDES, NEWS, & DISCUSSION" section, it's really well explained. Then you just need to flash magisk then install the module called "Google Face Unlock".

You must have done something incorrectly. I have a pixel 3 rooted and I use Chase, PNC, old national, Citi, and Huntington and I've never had a problem.
I installed the Magisk module and now the Face Unlock app is installed. However there is no UI, there's not even the Smart Lock section in settings, probably because I don't have GApps installed (which is why I needed the Magisk module in the first place).
Is there a different standalone APK/zip in order to enable Smart Lock or to otherwise setup Trusted Face?

Hey did you find that? I'm looking for it today!
Hi everyone,
I'm waiting for my phone to arrive, hopefully it'll be here in the next few days. I came across this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrclBFu3JyE that claims to be able to unlock the bootloader without the wait times. Does anyone know if this is legit? I can't test it until I get my device.
It'd be super handy if it works as the 7 day wait sounds unnecessary and painful.
If anyone can try it let us know how it goes.
ps. on a side note, how annoying is it that 90+% of the youtube videos on this device have English titles but the videos themselves are in other languages..?

Don't believe those videos its 99% of the time a scam/virus etc.
Just get the phone, set it up, bind your mi account under Dev settings - bootloader unlock and then wait 7 days (pretty sure it was 14 for some of my devices). Necessary evil with Xiaomi (trying to slow down resellers who flash global firmware etc). While you wait, don't install too many apps etc coz unlocking wipes the device
Don't be tempted with hacks and stuff.

I recently had pixel 2 xl, at 10pm im having yellow tint on my screen no reading mode is activated, and it became more yellow at 12am(as i set up)

It does not work. I tried it too, and I had to wait for 7 days anyway.

Thanks

I have another question once unlocked what's the next stage please?
I've read something about a recovery/backup to prevent your phone from getting bricked before installing roms?
If it helps I'm on miui global 12.0.8 android version 10.

Title says it all, have seen lots of rumours that it might be enabled but nothing concrete.
It's already here with a magisk module,
I don't think anyone here knows anything beyond what's publicly known, which is that there have definitely been code tweaks that are geared towards face unlock, but who knows when or even if for sure.
As said, yes, also if you root you can use a Magisk Module to get face unlock.
Well, the code was added, face match is added on Google assistant but not working yet, everything seems to point out that will be implemented, but until front end setting's are added, we'll have to rely on a magisk module. My bet is that will be implemented in future builds, whether is android 13 or afterwards I guess we'll see
My guess is no, they are getting everything set up and tested for the Pixel 7, we won't see it.
