How Porting face unlock to KPQ ?

Hello i9003 developers!
XXJVU for i9000 have face unlock
How Porting face unlock to KPQ ?
it's realy ?

It's unuseful... Developers should think to optimizate the kernel instead of port the Face unlock...

ICS / CM9 is a better thing to focus on.

But it is useless? It's a good idea. We will not be less than the i9000 users

i9000 users have learned it's not perfect yet, especially in darker areas, so in most people's opinion's it's a waste of time.

Better focus on porting ICS first before doing the face unlock. its easier to port one at a time.

it's hard to use at night man. at daylight its okay but as i say its useless at night. for example i use video calling at some nights but even under the spotlight it shows me in darkness. barely seen.
focusing on ics/cm9 is more important

Did he even ask any of you for your suggestions on what he should work on?
Just answer the question if you know , or stay shut.

call me a smartass or whatever, but he left the last question open. I interpret it to be "it's really useful?", hence my answer of no. if he wants, he can come back and clarify what he intended to ask

Probably he means to ask , is it really possible to port?!
And you haven't much suggested to work on x project or some ****, so my above post obviously doesn't apply to u. :-D

1. His question / sentence / whatever is open to any interpretation.
2. Read it again... he's asking for someone's / anyone's opinion.
3. "stay shut"... seriously? Gotta learn to not take things so personally kid.

After all the work....
Yes face unlock is not very usefull....but it is fun....
Its true that we r having more imp. Issues...
i still remember there was a thread started in out forum...long time back...speedinessbeast
It was having that feature...faceunlock.....but very buggy......i guess so

lol I AGREE.. it's sort of ridiculous even

I don't think theres any use porting Face Unlock to KPQ because the value pack that is going to be released for i9003 will probably have that anyways . Speaking of value pack, where the **** is it?!?

All that people who are agains porting a lockscreen are against android development, and thats why I dont understand what are they doing in a development thread. U know how to port?? Ok then help him. U dont know how to? Say thanks to him for trying or shut up. U dont like the idea? U dont like development...so just shut up. Keep it up frank, good job man,

you can have the faceunlock from galaxy w.i have tried the files and the preview is showing.you have to use settings.apk also for getting faceunlock option in settings.
but due to the camera overlay problem it will not take the picture of our face.

@vivekkalady What did u exactly used from galaxy w? Settings.apk and what more? I imagine camera.apk and some libs... I ask this because we could try those files from:
Samsung I9000 Galaxy S.
Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus.
Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL.
Samsung I8150 Galaxy W.
Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab.
If u told me I could make some combinations to see if it works

Ha ha! I love your app! I don't really have a use for it for the time being because I don't really give an F who looks at my phone, but who knows? Maybe I'll be curious at some point or want to prove a point to the snoop-a-loops out there.

Glad that you liked my work.. Yes, this will come in handy when you want prove someone that they did tried snooping in Appreciate if you can leave your rating and comments on Google Play.. thanks

Neat app but im never away from my device....were connected at the hip

Nice!
One small beef though. If someone does get the password right eventually, then they see the app first thing -- even with it unchecked.
Kind of eliminates the point. Easy fix for you, I'm sure.

Thanks for pointing this out.. There is a new version 1.1 available with this fix and many more changes... Please give it a try... If you are satisfied, please drop in your comments and rating on google play.. thanks

Any device restrictions? Besides the obvious without front facing cameras...

Yep, that's better.
Thanks!
Also, I have an idea. Any way to have it so it takes a pic anytime someone unlocks it? Even with no password and just the swipe unlock? With an on/off switch.
Reason being -- I don't use a password or lock on my screen, but I do want to know when someone goes into it. So let's say I leave my phone on the charger while taking a nap --- I turn it on before I snooze, then check it out upon wake - turning it off after I'm done reviewing.

No device restrictions. For devices without front camera, you can still use the app and get to know someone has used your phone will your are away. You cannot see their real pictures. You can also set notification and alarm on consecutive failed password attempts..

You simply need to edit your build.prop and add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0. You can use any good editor in Android to do that, or Build.prop Editor.

You can also go one step or two further by disabling the backlight on the keys at the bottom AND even disabling them completely (nothing happens when pressed).
Disabling the lights will need a custom kernel however.

How can I disable the keys completly? I'm on cm 10.1.

Once again, for them not to light up, it's necessary you have a kernel that supports BLD.

I'm looking for an easy way to do this, maybe i'll flash the simple kernel for this purpose.
I'm doing this cause my softkeys are not properly functioning, most of the time there are only 2 of 4 visible, and my warranty is expired.
The navigation bar can be a good alternative i think!!

Not a big fan myself, the Nexus S is rather "small" for today's standards and the navigation bar takes quite a bit of estate. But working around your problem without wanting to physically repair it, I believe that works.

Unfortunately i have to agree, i don't like that solution too, cause the screen gets smaller than it's real size.
But to be honest i do prefer to apply a "patch" like this more than paying half the value of a 3 years old device to repair it...
I'll also try to flash a kernel with the bln mod and see if i can get used to use the device with no navbar and no softkeys light.
Thanks for your help!! :good:

Searching on the forum i found that should also be possible to decrease the navbar height!!
it would be great, but i saw the procedure, and i'll never be able to do it ... :S

[XPosed Mod] HiGoogle - "Hi Galaxy" phrase opens Google Now instead of S-Voice

[XPosed Mod] HiGoogle - "Hi Galaxy" phrase opens Google Now instead of S-Voice
I present to you: my first ever XPosed Mod HiGoogle!
It's really my first original android app. The first one I didn't follow some sort of tutorial to make anyways. It opens Google Now natively when you say "Hi Galaxy" instead of the crappy S-Voice app. It took me forever to get this done, but in the end I learned a ton about how both Android and XPosed work. :good: So w00t for me, :good: chalk that one up as a personal accomplishment.
Anyways, it still needs S-Voice to run. S-Voice is what controls the always listening feature of the phone. in the future I plan on changing that, and perhaps changing the trigger phrase as well (fingers crossed!) So while we can't get rid of S-Voice yet, this removes the need to use a middle-man app like tasker to open it, which in the end, makes things a hair faster (and $6 cheaper.) I think we can all agree that faster is better.
So while it's not the perfect solution yet, it's a move in the right direction and hopefully more will come of it.
This has only been tested on 2 Notes so far, a T-Mo and a VZW, but it should work on any Samsung with 'Hi Galaxy" always listening support. I'm personally on version 11.2.2.0 of S-Voice but I'm not sure if that matters. Report any issues or and I will try to deal with them as fast as I can.
It's not my fault if you break stuff.

Does this close s-voice when it opens, then open voice search?

No, currently it just opens Google Now over SVoice, as SVoice is what controls the service that listens for commands. I'll look into that though it's a good idea, I may be able to kill the app but leave the service running.

oh so sad so so sad... i thougth you are a magician and managed to change the Voice recognition phrase...The developer Skilllevel for that is like getting knox from 0x1 to 0x0....from what i've heard
There are already apps for your purposes. I use S for Switch Voice
But thank you very much for your developing and sharing. :good:
Instead you maybe could try to get the "OK Google" command working for German and every other language. Because when google fails with recognition you have to grab your phone and tap on the mic button or wait until the screen shuts down. It is only possible when Google now language is english. This is something which really annoyes...
cheers

Nice, (or should i say YeeHaw ) this is where my hopes were.
And do you think it is possible to change the wake up command from "Hi Galaxy" to anything we want too? I heard it's nearly impossible...but chainfire isn't the only magician around here...

That all depends. I found some type of file that looks like it might be some kind of a raw audio or a wav file possibly. I'm digging deeper into Samsung's code whenever I have time trying to understand what's going on. I'm gonna have to keep studying before I can get to that point, but I think that will be part of the natural progression of the updates to this app. Has Chainfire done any work on this?

No not that i've heard of. Today i recognized that the "Google Now launcher" works with "OK Google" in german. So maybe you can find something when making a code comparison to use the OK Google command no matter how your phone and or googles now language is...

How is this any better than one of those apps that does the same thing?

As of now, overhead.
This mod will rid you of one extra service running on your phone compared to those other apps. If all you want is Google Now instead of S-Voice then this is probably the better solution. If you want a bunch more options, use one of those other apps. I have more plans for the future but I was super excited to release my first contribution to the community :victory:

I think is a great idea. I for one have been using an app called S for Switch Voice that overrides SVoice and launches Google Now. It works great and dont have any problems and doesn't cause much or at the very least battery drain. But im willing to try this.

I'll look into it I used an older method of wakelocking to try to get around that, but I guess it doesn't work for all. What version of android are you running?

Ah I was looking for something like this, but that was before I installed the S5 launcher
Now I get the best of both. This is a good mod for those who want the stock launcher though! Good work.

Well done... keep up the good work.

[Q] Update to 5.0.1 has ruined my camera!

Since the update my cameras shoot button has moved from the edge screen (one of my favourite features).
Can this be changed in settings or does anyone know where I can get the original camera apk?
Thanks in advance, David

Does the update fix the blurry start up?

You need to go back to Kitkat if you want that feature....

That does suck. :crying:That was the whole point of having the edge so you can move everything off the screen. Hopefully it is a setting somewhere or a change that can be made.

Hasn't been found yet and I know that it was a feature that was wanted by a lot of people.

I welcome the change.. Was not very natural feeling on the edge when taking landscape photos. But having the option to change between the two choices would please more people.

am curious.. did the same happen to everyone who updated their edge to the 5.0.1 version?
