Unzip the GApps zip file that you have (has to be ics). It's in a folder called “optional"

Now how to install? Lol
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Move the files to their respective places.
The addon.d file to /system/addon.d
The app to /system/app
The lib to /system/lib
And the pittpatt folder to /system/vendor
Make sure to set the permissions right, they're all rw-r--r-- except for the lib I believe

Could you pm me on how you did it? I did what Juls said but I might not be using the right app.
*edit* I found out how to change the permissions on super manager but it still isn't showing up

Make a file called .forcefaceunlock in /sdcard
/sdcard/.forcefaceunlock
Install gapps
Go into Settings > Security and set up your face unlock there.
The only way I've gotten the phone to unlock using face unlock is using the horizontal lock screen.
Rom control > lockscreen options > horizontal lockscreen.
When it asks you for a pattern, turn the phone sideways, you'll be able to see an image from the ffc.
It unlocks fine for me.

don't do anything with the file other than create it.
BTW it won't really work yet until the ffc's warped image issue gets corrected.

The ffc actually had been fixed.
And as for getting it work,i did exactly what Juls said to go. Put all the files where they are supposed to be in /system, then put facelock in system apps. For permissions, check all the boxes in the first column, and the first box in the second column. Reboot, then it should be an unlock option in settings

Yea except you're probably gonna be missing some libs if you don't let the zip do it. If you read the updater-script and the shell scripts that it uses to install the files you'd know exactly which files are needed. Follow the instructions I posted, it's a lot easier flashing a zip via recovery.
Yea it turns out i got the option in the settings, but it didn't actually come up in the lock. So what was the link for that zip again?

I did. And yes it only works in horizontal lock screen.
I looked into it and apparently it was working in AOKP build 39 but something in build 40 broke it so we're probably gonna need to wait until the AOKP team releases build 41 so we can sync their source code, or wait until someone adds a patch to the lockscreen repo so I can pull it and build a new version with the fix. For now you're gonna need to use the lockscreen as horizontal.

Can someone make this into a boot animation with the sound and full instructions? Please and Thanks
Give me a couple of days.
Do you want that "transformers" banner logo in there? I'll make a couple different versions layer on tonight.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ok thank you very much.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I would like one with all the gears and things turning without any of the Transformers faces or words in it if that would be okay. Thanks!
I have the first one ready to test. This is exactly as it appears on the video.
To install:
Download the file, or files if you want the audio. Rename the animation file. Depending on the rom you are on, it could be bootanimation.zip or VZW_bootanimation.zip. Extract the mp3 from the android_audio.zip. Find your current boot animation one and rename this one to that exact name. Either rename or move your current boot anim, just in case you don't want this one. Now place the renamed file and the mp3 into the same folder you found the original one in. Again, depending on the rom, this could be in system/media or system/customize/resource.
Let me know how it works out for you guys. I will do a couple more versions of this also.
Works great! It's in landscape but it works good. Could you make one in portrait without all the transformers faces and words? Sorry, I don't mean to sound picky. Thanks a lot! Awesome work.

I'm not sure. You need root permission to write to system, not sure if astro has that. I know es file explorer does. I could make you a flashable zip if you can tell me where it goes in your Rom.

Try es file explorer. They recently added root capabilities. Go to settings towards the bottom and turn on root explorer and mount system as rw. That should let you copy the boot to the right folder.

No such luck. So I have to reflash after I place new bootanimation in appropriate folder?

What do you mean reflash? The entire Rom? No.
Edit. I just reread our conversation. Are you trying to place it in the zip for the Rom that you downloaded? If so, why? Use es file explorer, go to system/customize/resources and place the file in there, not in the zip.

I simply used root browser to move all the files from my saved gallery lock folder, into the new gallery lock folder that was hiding in sdcard-data- gallerylock. Then i opened the app again and did the recovery again.

I think it's the camera quality. I use the option to "Improve face unlocking" quite bit, in different light, and angles. Use that a lot, then it should be a bit better.

You shouldn't need to redo the accounts since it'll re-flash the same files and it SHOULDN'T touch your settings but hey make a nandroid if you're worried about it. You'll have a known-good copy in case things go wrong.

Hi, the problem I've been having is that I cannot change my ringtone at all; I've tried installing mp3 files into the ringtone folder, I've tried using apps to change the ringtone but it's been to no avail; for some strange reason it stays on 'Whistle' no matter how many times I change it... the phone has been rooted, and is running CM10 - and has been flashed through zip files on my sdcard. The problem didn't happen after I rooted, it's always been this way.
You try changing it within the messaging app/gmail/talk app, or just in the settings? What rom you on? Have you changed permissions on the ring tones you added?

Permissions look like that, yes.
Download ES file explorer from play store. Open it. Press soft menu button. Press settings. Scroll to root settings. Make sure all boxes are checked and allow super user rights. Back out to files. Press the button on the top row with an up arrow and a folder (or something like that).
