Today, all of a sudden i notice that I have the option "Unknown sources" in my settings. Since when did ATT allow sideloading?
PS: I haven't rooted my phone
It was a silent update. They did it because of the rivals phones I think.

If it is grayed out then your not gonna be able to do anything..... the developer of the rom you are using had greyed it out because its not working probably.... my best suggestion (though I am not a sensation user) is to see if there is another rom available with this feature working if it is important to you

The facial recognition is overrated in my opinion anyways. the concept is cool, however most of the time it can't recognize you based on lighting, so you wait for a while then end up enter a pin code anyways.
Are you using something that requires credential storage, ie VPN, 802.1x? That would force you to enable stricter security (no facelock)
I'm on stock, no VPN settings.

may not work
it unlocks sometimes when my brother uses his face but i use ordroid so that is one way to get it
This means your ROM doesn't have that feature yet, and so I suggest changing ROM, I am currently running Virtuous Inquisition, and couldn't be more happy with it.

Some applications disable the face-unlock feature. For instance, if you area connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server and the administrator has turned on security settings it automatically locks out face recognition and screen patterns.
Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators
That will tell you if there are any other device admins / policies attached to your phone
i just noticed that i dont have APN setting on my Mobile Network, im on Sprint, could be related to that or should I unroot my phone and re rooted maybe something is wrong, thanks in advance

First thing I did after signing in was switch to ART. If your going to do the same, I'd recommend you do it before downloading your apps. It has to optimize all apps on the device and I did it without downloading a single app. 324 apps. Took a while.

Not stupid at all bud. Unlock developer settings by going to "about phone" in settings, double tap "build number" 7 times until you see the toast msg that says "you are now a developer". Back out, go to the newly available " developer settings " and 3rd (4th if you count the first non selectable line) option which says "select runtime system" and change it to "ART". It will say Dalvik until you've changed it to ART. Choosing it will reboot your device and take a few minutes while sets up your apps for ART. It is possible that if could be incompatible with some apps but since it first released with 4.4, I haven't heard of this.

I think this sped up the start up time of the camera, which is still kinda slow. I just hope I don't have issues with some apps as I've heard of others that had to completely reset their phone to stop some apps from crashing even after returning to Dalvik and reinstalling the app...
What is Art?

Basically, it is supposed to allow apps to start faster, run smoother and improve battery. Here's an in depth explanation

i think it may be kitkal art who released as soon as possible..:good:
After going to art the phone showed the unlocked icon on boot and custom rom....

Yea maybe kitkat he means.
No literally it looked like a flash counter notification stating modified... not sure of it unlocked the bootloader or not as I'll let someone else make that brick in error... it had a lock which showed unlocked though.

Mine does the same.

You can try what others did.
mine too?
Its gone when switch back
Mine does this as well. I can't believe Samsung marks the device if you run ART. A stock feature of Android.

Yeah, that's kinda crappy. Good thing TW was toned down so much I don't see any reasons for flashing yet.

Yeah, not too bad. It looks as if they started to redesign it but only got as far as settings and quick settings lol. With Nova and Flatro icons, it looks as though it's how it was supposed to be done. One of things that was always first on my list after rooting or flashing was changing the appearance of the status bar/quick settings. I like them now so with Nova, I really like the appearance. IMO.

I like TW now. Using Google Launcher and it's very close to stock.

I don't wanna open a thread for this so I'll try it here, I can't remember the "official" name, but "quick glance"? Something like that. When device is asleep, you wave over it and it displays the time and notifications. The one " motion gesture " I use and I can't find it. Hope they didn't ax it.
Anyone know how to enable it? Can't find it in the gestures section... Nor can I find lock screen widgets.

I know people are all excited to try anything different, but ART on this device just isn't a good experience (at least on a stock device). I really wouldn't recommend switching, as you are unlikely to be pleased.
I've noticed my Last Pass auto fill has not been autofilling my queries properly. My accessibility services are continually being turned off and I have to go back in and enable them whenever needed.
Anyone else having these issues and is there a fix?

Make sure you set lastpass to ignore battery optimizations.

thanks for the tip.... so far, it's solved my lastpass issue... now if i can get google voice to work...
Tested both and can confirm this works for LastPass but not for 1Password. Bummer.

Settings>battery>close apps after screen lock
then find the app and toggle to OFF works for Roboform. Accessibility finally remains ON.
That is not where I would look to find what everyone calls "ignore battery optimisation" and it has taken a while to find the correct setting to change. I'm posting this in case it helps someone find the correct place. Huawei themselves say that different phones have different menus.
