Face unlock on the Asus Zenfone Max - Asus Zenfone Max Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello people,
Here I bring to you face unlock for our beautiful Asus Zenfone MAX. Heres how to do it:
Download:
You will need any ROM that has the Google "Smart Lock" feature. I can confirm this is available with most Custom Roms > AOSP Extended 4.6, XOSP, AIM Rom, Resurrection Remix etc. But my personal favorite is Dot OS. Download link below:
DOT OS Downoad link:
DOT OS
Activate Google Smart Lock
Go to Security>Smart Lock
Add Trusted Face
Select "Trusted Face" and add your face
Voila, You are Done
Well, not yet.
If you test it now, the phone will unlock but you will still need to "Swipe Up" to go to the home screen. Bad, huh?
Well, that is sorted too!
Download "AutoInput" from Play Store
Theres a catch here. You need to download the paid version of the App. Thats a cost. Or if you know any way of getting it fr free, let me know
Open Autoinput App
Grant "Accessibility" Access
Click on Auto Dismiss Keyguard
Click on "Enable"
NOW YOU are DONE
Lock your phone.
Click on the power button to light up screen.
Hold it to your face and Voila, there goes the face unlock!
Enjoyy !

I guess xposed has an active module(instant face unlock) for the purpose of auto input... But it seems a bit laggy compared to auto input.Also i guess the trusted face option in smart lock depends on which open gapps you are flashing.... I got it by flashing stock version(pico didn't have the trusted face option).nano too has the feature

Screen Off and Lock + Trusted Device?

I've been using Screen Off and Lock forever to lock my phone using the swipe-up-from-home-nav-button (instead of the default Google Now).
After updating to Lolipop, I started using my Moto 360 as a trusted device and enabled a PIN lock on my phone. When I lock the phone with the power button and my Moto 360 connected, no PIN screen appears when I turn the screen back on.
However, if I lock the phone using the app Screen Off and Lock, the PIN screen always comes on when I go to turn the screen back on. This defeats the whole purpose/convenience of the trusted device bypassing the PIN. Anyone know how to fix this? Or know of an app that will work better?
It hasn't been updated since January so I imagine its just an incompatibility

I'm on stock rooted Lollipop and I'm running into a similar issue, but with face unlock instead of trusted device.
I have double-tap on Nova Launcher set to system lock using Tasker, and when I lock my phone using that, face unlock doesn't activate, and won't until I put in my PIN password and then re-lock using the power button.

I also tried locking my phone using Greenify instead of Screen Off & Lock, sam result. Perhaps there is a way to implement locking the phone that won't trigger the PIN to unlock? Or - and I hope this isn't the case - maybe there is no way to do this in 5.0?

I tried messing around with screen timeout in Tasker, but it doesn't let me set it to 0 seconds (for obvious reasons, I guess haha), since I noticed that letting my screen time out seems to work just fine for triggering face unlock. The lowest I can set it to is 7 seconds though, if I remember right, which is a bit too high for a screen off function.

Have the same issue, wait for developer to fix it.

Not sure this will be "fixed". All apps that are stating to lock the phone will actually do so, whether trusted devices are enabled or not. They act the same way as if you are on the lockscreen with the lock disabled by a trusted device and then press the lock symbol at the bottom, this also locks the device. This has been a problem forever, apps just work differently than the hardware power button.
As a fix you can try the following: Use another app to completely disable the lockscreen or keyguard (whatever your prefer) when a trusted device is connected instead of using the android built in feature.
If you are like me and want to use the new trusted devices feature of lollipop you can use Tasker as a workaround. Create a tasker task with the command "run shell --> input keyevent 26". This also requires root. Then you can use the app Home Button Launcher to set a shortcut to run the new task when swiping up. This is what I'm using and it works without any problem! I hope I could help.

Have you installed the latest superSU beta? The previous versions had problems with the new security features introduced by lollipop. If you're not using this latest version my solution won't work.

It worked! SuperSU beta did the trick.
Also, I didn't need a separate app to make a Home key shortcut, I just made a profile: Event -> UI -> Assistance Request -> add the Task with input keyevent 26.
Thanks!
Nothing against Screen Off and Lock as it's just doing what it's designed to do (and Lock after all) but this is a useful work around, thanks.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. First I tried it that way, but for some reason it didn't work, so thats why I use an external app But I'm glad it works for you!

Thanks you guys. Now I feel more at home with Lollipop with my old habit. I couldn't stand that smart lock was disabled when I used other screen off apps (then again those haven't gotten an update for a while too).

There probably won't be. The app is called "... And Lock". Technically, it's doing what its supposed to.

Was searching for a solution and i found this thread! Thanks a lot!
So no hope for people like me who don't use trusted devices/places but use trusted face? Because I think even tasker can't do that with trusted face unlock.
Also looking for a solution to this with trusted faces on lollipop.

[Q] Lock Screen Security

Hi, I am trying improve the security on my phone, There has been a recent report about a guy who was forced to enter his unlock screen password to border officials at the airport (although he didn't comply). This is a HUGE abuse of power and an even bigger violation of privacy.
I hope never to be in that situation, but if i am i want an easy way out so i am looking for the following solutions:
Entering a secret code / Pattern on the lockscreen that would trigger a factory reset
And / Or
A secret code / Pattern on the lockscreen that would load a "dummy" home Lanucher
as far as i can tell neither exist. Any help/Advice would be great, thanks
Just enter into the guest mode?
HOW??

How? I mean suppose that official is infront of you , how will you switch to gusest mode wihout letting him know .... i mean in power off option ?? or any other way?
What you are describing is similar to the plausible deniability mode of Truecrypt. However Android doesn't have this function natively, and I don't see how you can implement it without doing some major modification to the system.
What about bringing a secondary phone as a distraction instead?
There is already one major bug in Google Play services 7.0.97 reported by Android Police which alllows attackers to unlock the phone without any password since it takes around 15 ~ 20 seconds to re-apply the lock. Another hole seems that attackers could steal your phone if your phone just gets into the standby mode with disabled sceen. There are general known attacks with such smart-lock enabled function which allows to bypass the pin.
not sure if this is relevant , but on any phone i've owned with a 'swipe-down-status-bar' when phone is showing lock screen all i have to do is swipe the status bar down and can click on any icon to bypass lockscreen then back out of that setting , i.e. settings , apps , wifi , etc. and will be on home screen.
"all I can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

That only works if you didn't set any password lock.
I have es file manager, and i zip and password protect files or folders wich i need but dont want people finding if my phone ever gets stolen. you can check that out.
Maybe there's gonna be something I oversee, but you could (easily) do this with Tasker.
You could use tasker to make an 'app' to login with a different profile on your android. By opening that app, you go into a self-defined stealth-mode, where you disable everything you want to hide and where you open a minimal homescreen.
Tasker + Secure Settings should have all the tools you need to set it up without destroying your real security.
Maybe dual booting to an empty ROM with sdcard access removed and only a small amount of fake information down on the device?
Would not help if they decided to copy your entire devices info for a close exam but should fool most guards into thinking you don't use your phone much.
Just reboot into that ROM at any time you think anyone would ever check.

Fingerprint unlock problem

With latest firmware (G930FXXU1APD1-G930FDBT1APC5-DBT) Im having problems when unlocking the device with fingerprint. It does not allow me, but instead I get:
“Enter pin instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy”
And I have to use the PIN.
This happens when locking the display with “lock wedged”. If the lock is made with button (power) ... or time out display. Then I can normally use the fingerprint.
Does someone also facing the problem?
Is there any solution – setting?
Best.
D.
Yes i had this and tried to reset my fingerprints when i tried that settings error and closed, then i couldnt change anything, pin, fingerprints, couldnt even factory reset. Cause it always asked for my pin and after i entered it settings would error rebooting didnt help. Finally using android device manager from my pc i had to do an erase. My s7 is stock and it had nothing disable at the time this happen.

there might be extra Policy set on ur device.
go to setting > Security > click on Clear Credentials
+ also check what is ur device administrator
:good:
I had that even on my Nexus 6P when using Nova's double tap to lock feature. I think it's something to do with Marshmallow actually.

Clear credentials is not active.
Device Admin - APP is added.
So the error is still there.

You can try Samsung's Good Lock app from Galaxy Apps store or, if you live outside U.S., from apkmirror.com. It's a System UI update that allows fingerprint unlock with third party locking widgets.
@ avah
This actually works. But ... then I get totally different lock screen display etc... that I actually don’t like.
So ... till now ... no real solution.
Best.
Hay
Question.
Is it possible to flash the phone back to previous ROM version via Odin… and you won’t get Knox void .. or something else??
I'm thinking to go back to previous ROM when lock and fingerprint worked OK.

This is a duplicate of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/security-policy-prevents-fingerprint-t3354270
You can find details on that thread about this problem.
I'm having the same issue and I must say it is very annoying. Can't really see any reason why this should interfere with the security. Should be my choice to be honest. Would be nice to have a solution to this. Looks like it's been an issue for a long time as well. Found some threads about the 6P for example with the same issue.
Try use other app to pass that policy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.doubletapscreenoff

Yes but the problem still remains so it was a good initiative. I've got a brand new S7 and I find this very annoying. If I switch off my screen with Nova, I have to use fingerprint+PIN Code to unlock. If I switch it with physical buttons, I only have to use fingerprints..
Fixed
Search 4 knock on app on playstore.
Instal
Tap on create icon. Turn off the rest options
Fixed by installing a third party screen locker.

(Guide) Face (ID) unlock for Mi A1 (any other phone too) Android 7.x+ (without root)

Hi members of the xda developers.
Presenting you a guide where you can unlock your phone with your face just like iPhone X, OP5T etc.
Firstly you will need this app
AUTOINPUT
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoinput
1.) Join the Beta for AutoInput
The new auto-unlocking functionality is currently a beta feature in developer João Dias' AutoInput app, so you'll need to join the beta program in order to try it. In order to join the Beta, you first need to join the Google+ Community for AutoApps. Simply tap on the "Join" button on the Google+ page to become a member of the community. After joining the G+ Community, head to the link below and make sure you're signed in with the same Google account you use on your Android device, then tap the "Become a Tester" button.
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.joaomgcd.autoinput
2.) Download the Newest AutoInput Beta
Next, head over to the Google Play Store and install the latest version of the AutoInput app. You might need to wait up to 30 minutes after joining the beta program before the newest version will be available, so if the steps below don't work, check back on the Play Store for an update. You may notice that this app is actually a Tasker plug-in, but that isn't important here and we do not need Tasker to complete this hack.
3.) Start a Free Trial or Buy the Pro Version
In order to access all of the features in AutoInput, you will need to start a 7-day free trial of the app by tapping on "Start Trial." Alternatively, you can purchase the full version. The free trial is a good idea if you're not sure you will use the app on a long-term basis. If you do enjoy modding your phone regularly, AutoInput Pro can be purchased for only $1.99 and is an excellent value for use with Tasker.
4.) Activate the Accessibility Service in AutoInput
Note: This step is only required for those on Android Nougat, it is not needed in Oreo.
Like many apps that enable impressive hacks, AutoInput requires access to Accessibility Services to do its magic. When you open the app for the first time, you will notice a large block of red text prompting you to enable this needed service. Tapping on this dialog box will take you into Accessibility Services in your Settings menu. Scroll down to "AutoInput" and tap the toggle to enable it. Tap the back button a few times on your device to get back inside the AutoInput app.
5.) Enable 'Auto Dismiss Keyguard' in AutoInput
After enabling AutoInput in Accessibility Services, you will notice that the previous dialog box of red text in the app is gone. Below the new dialog box indicating accessibility is enabled, you will notice an option that says "Auto Dismiss Keyguard". Tap the toggle to enable this feature.
6.) Set a Trusted Face in Smart Lock
Finally, you're ready to set up your face unlock and give it a try. Head to Settings –> Security (or "Security and Location" on newer phones), then tap on "Smart Lock". From here you will need to enter your current PIN or pattern, if you have one.
After this is completed you, will see several options to use with the Smart Lock service. Tap on "Trusted Face" and follow the prompts to scan your face. You can improve the recognition by repeating the process in a different lighting condition, or from a different angle.
7.) Unlock Your Phone with Your Face
After you're satisfied with the scan, head back to your lock screen and test out your automatic face unlock. Like the OnePlus 5T, you still have to wake your phone to unlock it, but now, as soon as your device "sees" your face, you'll be taken directly to your home screen. In other words, just click your power button, look at your phone, then it will automatically unlock! We should note here that the dismiss keyguard feature works with any of the Smart Lock options, not just Trusted Face. This means your phone will automatically unlock when using a trusted location or trusted device as well.
While it may seem like quite a few steps, the actual process only takes a few minutes, as seen in our tutorial video above. One important note here is that this method is likely a bit less secure than the actual implementation found on the 5T. Overall, we've found that this method makes it much easier to use face unlock on Android phones that don't have the feature built in. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions and tell me how the new feature is working for you!

Appreciate this guide but... In our phone we have face unlock
Security> smart lock> trusted face
Setup ur face n try unlocking its not as accurate as flagship but yeah does the work ?
With this app, this will do auto unlock, no need to swipe from lockscreen. There are people on Nougat ROMs who need this app to enable it in accessability settings.

If no one would have really cared about that then why would flagship phones have face unlock besides having finger print sensor...shared great guide mate..Deni_NS

smartlock, trusted face, lineageos 14.1, eliminate slide?

I run the latest weekly of the official lineageos 14.1 builds.
for security settings, I have a pattern set, and also use smart lock trusted places and trusted face.
My face and/or when in a trusted location, work well, they omit me needing to enter my pattern, but is there a way to eliminate the slide to unlock?
Is there just a way to push the screen on button, have it recognize my face, and open to the desktop without me needing to do a swipe?

I use this ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/rom-candy8-1-beta-t3747960 Candy ROM with trusted face and it eliminates the slide thing that bothers you. Give this a try great ROM.
