Stock Android already had facial recognition feature in built. Just follow the steps. Settings>security> smart Lock> trusted face. You are good to go. Do hit the thanks button if it helped.

Face unlock is available since lollipop era. I've tried the feature again on my a1, and it is as fast as the one plus 5t, except the 5t automatically goes to home screen as soon as face detected.

Yes and same applies for the 5t. That's why the 5t face id can't be use for payments or transactions.

Everything becomes possible when u are rooted. But not rooted then there is hardly any way to that.
Moreover u are wanting it to be like the op5t , but currently it's like iPhone x which is also cool right.?

how cn i do it with root

OnePlus is using face detection from smart lock for 5T's face unlock. So there is a possibility that someone may bring this feature to get work for other devices as well. Just wait till the developers work on this.

It's true that it can't be unlocked with a picture but there are ways to bypass that. If you really own the device then try clicking your own pic at the same moment you register then you may unlock it. I didn't try it but it can be done maybe

Ok i for a app called auto input on playstore . This thing did what you want. This app swipes up after face gets recognised. Used it on Mi a1 works perfectly. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoinput

Anyone mind sharing the faceunlock.apk ? I tried it with a newer version manually, but now it just crashes. That's why I need the original again.

yes but you still have to swipe up which is annoying and the suggested app lets you unlock the screen without the swipe but i cant workout how to set it up

Double tap wake does not work with auto screen app listed above? Only pick up phone function works to wake the phone? Which is kind of useless when using fingerprint scanner

Lenovo A6000 Plus Screen Unlocking

Hi, recent I purchased this phone, however, I am struggling to unlock (Pattern) most of the times. The lock screen is moving along with the pattern. After 2/3 attempts, it eventually unlocks.
there is a bug in pattern lock. using pin will be more efficient

Ya, I am using that now bro. We are kind of habituated with pattern, that's why. It's ok. Hope they will solve this soon.

Trusted Devices SmartLock

Is this feature working properly for you ?
I have a Pebble Time Steel and I set it as a trusted device. It seems to work from time to time, but I keep having to use my fingerprint most of the time.

This seems related to an app I use to lock my phone from a shortcut : Screen off and Lock, it seems to not respect the Smart Lock feature. Anyone has a suggestion of a replacement app ?

Regarding the automatically lock !?

Hey guys , is there any way to turn this option off completely? i hate it when my phone locks By itself.
i want this option completely off (im using the nexus imprint function, it's really cool but i would like to completely disable other phone locks..)
is it possible? like i just want to use the fingerprint (i use it only for the convenience of unlocking the phone, not for the "security")..
hope someone can help me with this I'm rooted , have PureNexus + Kernel AuditorMod installed.
the phone is encrypted (so if i was actually to decrypt'unencrypt' the phone, would it then get rid of the auto lock features? but would i still be able to use imprint?)

I use Xposed and the module FingerprintEnabler.
This module bypasses the requirement for a password at boot and only requires a fingerprint.
I never notice when my phone is locked.

you dont want to autolock itself when exactly? if you have an android wear watch, you can just set "Smart Unlock". it'll bypass security whenever the watch (or any other bluetooth device of your choice) is connected to the phone.

Fingerprints still installed but it will never ask for a manual password as long as your fingerprint works.
It will not require a password even from a cold boot, only the fingerprint.
The fingerprint works so well I never really notice my device being locked.

i found something even better !! it's called lockscreen disabler (it's a module) it completely ignores all security pins or whatever other is set and finger print works nicely on it
thanks for your assistance!

October firmware update [NMF26X.N950USQU2BQJA]

I received an OTA today. Like 377 MB.
It looks like a new bootloader as well. Didn't come with a change log, but below is the informative after the update. NMF26X.N950USQU2BQJA

Yes it is new bootloader. I expect this for around 2 weeks now. Seems like it is little harder to flash anything on this bootloader.
On Edge of Note
Yeah I'm installing it now myself.
Updated mine but facial recognition is now not working. Under settings, I see under Screen Lock Type I still have password, Face and Fingerprints as an option but "Face Recognition" is now grayed out. If I go into the Screen Lock Type setting, Face shows the switch to the right but that option is grayed out as well and can't be changed.

Might want to try going to lock screen and security settings then go to other security settings and clear credentials. I haven't had that same problem since I updated today so I haven't tried it on this phone but it worked on another Android device that I have when it greyed out Security Options.

What's changing: Network performance enhancements, stability improvements, other various updates and fixes, and Android device security updates, including KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability fix and BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)
I'd say that the KRACK fix itself is a good reason to update.

Happened to me a few minutes ago. Don't do factory reset yet. Use ADB to uninstall the app created by substratum.

apparently all that does is clear your saved certificates. I have been able to disable face scan by turning on iris but that doesn't work so well with my glasses. Face recognition is my preference but I can't seem to get it to enable after update.

Shoot! I couldn't wait around anymore without my phone not working and did a factory reset through recovery.... UGH woke up was all restored and I forgot NOT to restore substratum and was back to system ui errors so here I go again restoring without substratum... I'm nervous to reinstall substratum again!

Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.
This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.
Just for future reference for everyone.
