Face unlock for [P920][SU760] ICS 4.0.4 Custom Full 3D ROM

Hello folks,
those who recently flashed new ICS rom by xbsall noticed that there is no face unlock option in the lock screen section which might bother some people like me so here is the way to get face unlock option for lockscreen. actually one of XDA senior member defcomg provided a zip file on the ROM thread but i created this new thread because people who are looking for it instead of going through all the pages of the rom thread they can find it here easily.
the zip file can be downloaded from here

>instruction is flash it on recovery.
> fix permission (can be done as following setps)

What files do you give the permissions to? The flashable ZIP or just the APK or binarys?

Make sure your system partition have about 20-30mb free space before you flash the zip

I have around 300 free o.o

The country/region of the firmware does not matter. It only matters if you want to receive OTA firmware updates or update via Kies.
There's a Pakistani firmware in this link if you insist on having it http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9105&pcode=0#firmware

Well once I root my phone, it means no more OTA update for me right?
Officialy i cant get anymore updates from Samsung Kies?
Cause if Thats the case I'm thinking to wait for 4.2 update from Samsung. Maybe that fixes the problem to move apps over sd. The link you gave, is it rooted?

Well so here is the deal..
I flash my phone using Odin and install CMW Recovery. And then install the pre-rooted firmware available in this forum (regardless) the country in belongs. Thats it ?

No...if you rooted your phone with clockworkmod installed already. Then you don't have to install the prerooted firmware, cause you already rooted!
Sorry for the misleading post.

Well at this very moment I have installed nothing. I am looking for Pre-Rooted firmware (PAK). I hope i get it or if someone can do that please do the favor and root the original stock rom (firmware) so I can use that. I do not want any modifications and customized UI.

UPDATE :- I just rooted my phone through Odin. Installed CWM and then installed SuperSU. Root checker has passed my phone. I still cant install or move apps to SD card

4.4.2 Failed

I tried to load the update via TWRP. I get installation failed. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I am installing it the same way I installed 4.4.1

You changed something. Dpi, build.prop?? Fastboot flash system and boot images
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I didn't change anything. Just rooted. Everything else is stock

well first you must tell us exactly what you have done so far.
otherwise nobody can help you.

Mine failed too. I got an update today and as I'm updating, I got an "error" midway through. Now when I go under settings, it'll say "your system is up to date", yet I'm still running 4.4.
Now what? Did I lose my chance to update? lol
Edit: Does being rooted have anything to do with it?

Rooted is ok, but what did you do with root? If you changed anything, or froze system apps it won't work

Does MotoAssist.apk contain unexpected contents, did you remove the apk when you were rooted etc.

Yes i deleted it along with dome other bloatwares with titanium backup.. But they were reinstalled when i reset the phone.. So i dont know how that could be the problem

What do you mean when you say they were reinstalled when you reset the phone. If you mean factory reset then that doesn't reinstall them. Basically the apk file is not the same as it was originally.

If you placed them back on the phone manualy, are you sure you placed them in the correct directory.

I guess your right i factory reset it.. If any of you know where i could get the stock MotoAssist.apk please let me know

You will need to reinstall all apps that are updated by the OTA. Download stock firmware and just flash system image. Tutorials are on XDA.

Thanks i will try it out

That's correct, just use the moto fastboot utility to flash each one in turn.

Only if that app is the only one that has changed or been deleted.

I flashed the firmware using adb ... Got back all the stock apps and the update went ok... Thank you all for your help

i think you can copy your /System and get stuff from there, other than that maybe go to Sammobile, and download a firmware there and see if you can extract anything from there.
