Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to add / enable the smart lock functionality to the MIUI ROM (i use the weekly xiaomi.eu).
That functionality is there (i get the notification to enable smart unlock when pairing a new BT device), but it doesn't work.
Is there any way to do this with root? Perhaps a magisk module or a standalone app?
I spent a lot of time searching for it, without any luck.
Thank you!

do you have twrp?
i think this feature come with Gapps... since we have a fork of the current Gapps it will not be availible...
just to be shure.. youre talking about "Smart Unlock" that consists on body detection, bluetooth unlock wen connected to trusted devices, face unlock and voice unlock.
if you're interested on face unlock just change your region to India or Hong Kong.. on the security tab neard the finger print option will apper something like "add face data"
Note if your region is set to India you'll receive news about criket, your music app home screen will be set to some indian music service (it requires 2 clicks to go to the normal music library), your Mi video app will have the same behaviour and in the home screen there will be more Xiaomi related apps.
Hi, this is a standard in Android, but somehow, Xiaomi blocked it in MIUI.
I am using xiaomi.eu weekly rom, i already have face unlock without switching to India.
What i really care about is the ability to keep my phone unlocked while it is connected to my smartwatch and my car.
When i pair a new BT device i get the option to add is as a trusted device, but it doesn't work.
I really love the hardware, but i hate MIUI. Why do they want to re-invent the wheel? Anyway, this is the last time i buy a device with MIUI.
I tried Pixel Experience and Lineage OS, but they have some other problems. For example, if i use Android Auto, once i disconnect the phone, the screen starts to flicker really bad - i cannot use the phone until i reboot it.
So, i have to stick with MIUI......
Cheers!
My understanding, as things stand now (I'm a new guy to MiUi) is the following:
Aside from face unlock, smart unlock functions are essentially broken. Trusted Bluetooth devices only works with other MiUi devices. Current workaround for having your device unlock always in your car, for example, is to buy a mi band and leave it in the car.
As far as trusted voice unlock, I believe xiaomi.eu is waiting on a weekly global beta for mix 3 which they expect to have the required material included that they can poach to get this working on other sd845 devices like mix 2s.
Not sure I have all this right, so someone correct me if I don't....

Even with Mi Band as unlocking device, the function is not really reliable (at least not in my experience).
As often as not, it happens that the phone does not unlock, even with the band on the arm holding the phone.
Buying a band explicitly for that purpose will not satisfy you.

I'm curious too. I currently own a MiBand and everything works fine.
I think we'll have to wait for Android L which supports Bluetooth LE unlocking.
Currently, it works with a Tasker profile, though it's often a bit slow and can take up to 5-10 minutes untill it realises that the Miband is there / not there. On the other hand, if it's security you're thinking about, it may be a solution.

can you link where u got the mi band from? and what price you paid?
I got mine from ibuygou and paid 30$ for it. Though there are other major Chinese sites that sell it (like Banggood, ...)

For now there's no solution for truly proximity-unlock as in MIUI.
But for other phones only near solution is Xposed-module No Lock Home (all other apps non-functional for reasons).
It will to enable secure lock-screen if no connection with bracelet e.g. you lost phone = distance over 10 meters.
When Mi Band connected in module settings once tap "plus" icon > Bluetooth (MAC address)
This will fill MAC-address in field below and auto-locking will work.
Experiment with other settings too and don't forget to donate to author of module.
Maybe sometime he will add unlocking based on signal strength from band as in MIUI: I posted feature-request.
Did no lock home work for you? I thought it didn't support bluetooth le?
Currently i'm using tasker profile but it's sloooooow
Will this work if we use MIUI ROM?

I have tested the steps written here. it works
http://en.miui.com/thread-70696-1-1.html
In Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ..... there is no option for NFC tag. Why is that? It only lets me add bluetooth device. I have NFC tag that I want to use to unlock, but I can't find that in Trusted devices.
Any hints?
Thanks
Still looking for a way to add NFC tag under SmartLock. It worked when I had Nexus 6P. What am doing differently with S8?
tasker + secure settings will do what you want.
Why can't I do it using SmartLock? This was available on Nexus 6P, and it is a standard Android feature. Is it a bug in Samsung S8 software?
Does everyone with stock S8+ have the same issue? Is there really no NFC tag option in Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ?
Before firmware update I can used this without problem but now I can't found this settings.
Well then this is a bug. How do we report it to Samsung? I need to unlock my phone when it's on NFC tag, without rooting my phone.
Got an update from Samsung last night, but this bug is still not fixed. No NFC option under SmartLock
It's not just Samsung bug. NFC Smart lock also disappeared on Lineage OS on my Nexus 5 and with out any system updates. I've read that it has to something with Google play services and it's missing from some other phones too.
I need the solution right now. It's very annoying[emoji58]

NFC Smart Unlock was also removed on the Google Pixel phones with a 7.1.2 update and is still gone in the 8.0.0 (Oreo) update I just installed now. It was likely removed because it was buggy and stopped working on some phones (like mine).

Recently, I flashed lineage OS on my Asus Zenfone 2 Z00A, there is no NFC option in Smart lock settings.
Please comment on this why it is not there?

Did you read the post above yours? It explains why. And this is S8+ forum, not Zenfone forum....
Googled removed it due to lack of use. If you have an old NFC tag paired, it'll still work, but no way to add new ones
This is pretty disappointing... I had looked into getting an NTAG216 chip encapsulated in glass implanted, with unlocking my phone as one of the possible novel uses of it, but I guess I can forget that!
I guess we need some tweaks to get back NFC Smart Lock feature, like Magisk, scripts type of method and all that by all means.
Is there somebody who knows how Google blocked it technically?Assuming the culprit must be Google Play Services, though, if so, we done...?

I think it isn't a bug... And it is not removed on purpose... I am running the latest Software for my Smasung S8+ (7.1.1) and I can still add NFC Tags. Under SMart Lock I go to trusted devices and then add NFC tag. I already have two NFC tags in there, so I dont know if this feature is still availible to me because I added one on Version 7.0 so maybe you had to add one earlier to still have this option unlocked which wouldnt make any sence tho... I suggest you try the app NFC Tools Pro and NFC Tasks (like tasker) which both work together very well and let you allow to unlock you phone with the tag.
Best regards
I have found a workaround, though it requires root and manually editing a preferences file.

I am trying to unlock / wake up the phone using google Voice Match. I can set it up in the setting but the phone will never wake up when I say "OK google".
Is there any way to get this working?
Using the latest stable MIUI global ROM (9.5.20. 0)
Thanks!
Unlocking your phone with Google Voice Match and waking your phone with Google Voice Match are two very different things. The latter doesn't work on many non-Google phones. For it to work the hardware needs a dedicated chip or sensor that can listen for voice commands while the rest of the phone is asleep. Without the right hardware a phone that is actually asleep can't be woken with voice commands.
That's correct, but it works on this phone using the Chinese ROM, so the hardware supports it.
MIUI offers the setting even in the Global ROM. It's just not working.
The setting on the Global ROM is the generic Google Smartlock setting for unlocking the phone with your voice. There is no setting specific to waking this phone with your voice. I have also never read anyplace that you can wake the sleeping Mix 2S using OK Google on the Global or Chinese ROM. I don't see why the feature would be included in the Chinese ROM at all since the Chinese ROM includes Xiaomi's own AI Assistant that has no English support.
It works with the Chinese ROM and miui's own assistant xiao Ai. The sd845 has the hardware to provide voice wakeup l, but it's not being utilized by Google assistant on miui. I wish some miui dev would take this problem and allow Google assistant to utilize the hardware.
Unfortunately MIUI doesn't integrate Google stuff well even on the Global ROM. The Google Trust Agent is enabled on the phone but there is no front end in MIUI to access the Google Smart Lock Options. If the Mix 2S does have the hardware necessary for Google Assistant to wake the phone when asleep maybe it will be set up to work with GA in a future update. The Global ROM for the 2S was released days before development stopped on MIUI 9 so the Chinese ROM had a lot more development. There was never even a weekly developer build for the Global ROM since it was released so late but there were weekly developer builds of the Chinese ROM. Hopefully the feature will be added but I don't think we're a priority for Xiaomi in terms of development resources.
I know I've asked this once before (and have gotten a reply, which I am very thankful for!) - but finally, I am able to pull the trigger on this great device.
The only question I have is: Is it possible to record calls on Android 11?
Because some phones have switched to Google Dialer for example on Android 11 and have lost their recording capability. Some did opt-in to use this stupid Google Dialer call recording thing which announces when a call is being recorded, but yeah, I don't want either. I either want a system recorder OR skvalex (Magisk module). The only issue with skvalex here is that ASUS phones lose warranty if you unlock.
Thanks!
YES you can record call. No need to root. No need fo rother apps. No need to do anything except You have to enable it in factory phone app first.. Only other phone that does this was a older xiami phone and I think they even stopped this feature. So this will be the goto phone for your phone call recordings and they do come out very clear..

Thank you, much appreciated. I bought the phone by the way, loving it so far. Had only a question about the camera module but I posted that in a different thread. Seriously, out of OnePlus 7 Pro, Samsung Note 10+, Xiaomi MI 10T Pro and so many others, this is the best phone I tried. It ticks all the boxes really.
CALL RECORDING:
Xiaomi: If you buy EEA (Europe) model, there is no call recording. Global, I don't know. But you can get around these by using the Xiaomi.EU firmware. It's a "solution" I guess. But Xiaomi/MIUI still does not have "Ignore Do Not Disturb" for notifications, so good luck trying to get your home alarm notification or anything of that sort. Of course you can always use custom roms, but I have not seen a flawless/daily-driver-stable custom rom in the past 5 years or so.
Samsung: You can use a "CSC Changer" to change the CSC of your phone to a country that has Call Recording enabled. This trick works in Android 10 - I have not tried it on 11 yet. Your phone HAS TO BE SUPPORTED by the CSC changer. For example my Note 10+ was supported, but my 512GB Note 9 was not. So yeah, it's a hit or miss. And honestly, Samsung's own ecosystem is... yeah.
Nokia: Needs root -> lose warranty -> nope.
Motorola: Their phones are not Android One lately. (only some)
Honestly, ASUS is a really good brand, Zenfone is a super solid phone. Other than that, there is only Google Pixel really - IF they sell it in your country. There is OnePlus but oh my god, each model's own forum on OnePlus.com is FULL of complaints and issues. Each update breaks something, makes things worse. It's just a dreadful experience, considering you have to pay now close to 700-1000$ for some models.
Your specific question about call recording on A11 isn't answered though. I'm not on the beta program so I can't answer it either.
Has anyone managed it?
I am trying to add my Garmin Venu as a Bluetooth Trusted Device to unlock my Note 10 when within close proximity.
I can see the watch, I add it, enter my code but the last step is "Tap on the Bluetooth device to confirm."
The problem is, there is no message on my watch and nothing to tap on.
Any ideas?

Thanks, at least now I can stop trying
But it's a ridiculous limitation, as the feature generally works on most Android devices with a broad range of wearables.
I am not about to swap my Garmin for a Xiaomi band.
Nobody has come up with a workaround?

The only workaround I can think of is custom ROM
Actually there is one Xposed module named CustoMIUIzer and it has this feature, but it works only up to Android 10. And requires root and Xposed Framework of course
Thanks, Lord Sithek.
