UniversalAuth: Face Unlock for all ROMs​

This module brings face unlock (and possibly other authentication methods) to any ROM.

Requirements​

- Xposed/EdXposed/Lsposed
- Android 11, 12 or 13 DP (may also work on Android 10, but not tested)

Installation​

1. Download the "universalauth-xposed-release.apk" file and install it. Enable the xposed module and reboot.
2. Download the "faceunlock-release.apk" file and install it.
3. A new app called "Face unlock" should now appear, open it.
4. Allow the app to download the face unlock libraries when asked.
5. Grant the app permission to unlock your phone when asked.
6. Enable the accessibility service when asked.
7. Press the "START SETUP" button to enroll your face. The app will ask you to grant it camera permissions, make sure to select "allow while using the app" if that option is available.
8. Lock your phone and test that you are able to use face unlock!

UniversalAuth: Face Unlock for all ROMs​

This module brings face unlock (and possibly other authentication methods) to any ROM.

Requirements​

- Xposed/EdXposed/Lsposed
- Android 11 (this module has only been tested on Android 11, but it should theoretically support Android 12 and maybe even Android 10, please help test!)
- The Megvii face unlock libraries, more information on this below

WARNING about the Megvii face unlock libraries​

This module needs the Megvii face unlock files. Megvii has been known to DMCA anybody who distributes these files so I cannot give you these files, you will have to find them yourself (should not be hard). Hint: they are usually next to each other in the same folder.

Here are the filenames and SHA1 hashes of the files you need:

Filename​	Hash​	Size​
libFaceDetectCA.so	0e9e08c7cc976e86a8b2c80732b0f3cef3ed09be	256088 bytes
libmegface.so	9b598b767a124076d87bb7cc0097d968df620a1d	7213272 bytes
libMegviiUnlock-jni-1.2.so	cd3747023c62b3f489da6d104ce3ab51dd3d8bb7	260176 bytes
libMegviiUnlock.so	25f86732d5bf05679b69e4fa41957efb5491ebc6	1066008 bytes

Please do not post the files here or link to them here for obvious reasons.

Installation​

1. Download the "universalauth-xposed-release.apk" file and install it. Enable the xposed module and reboot.
2. Download the "faceunlock-release.apk" file and install it.
3. A new app called "Face unlock" should now appear, open it.
4. Add the Megvii face unlock libraries when asked (see previous section).
5. Grant the app permission to unlock your phone when asked.
6. Enable the accessibility service when asked.
7. Press the "START SETUP" button to enroll your face. The app will ask you to grant it camera permissions, make sure to select "allow while using the app" if that option is available.
8. Lock your phone and test that you are able to use face unlock!

Wonderful, looks like working! Thanks a lot, this is what I missed on A12 ROMs, I think it's the first universal tool for this purpose

The app detected my face and authenticates but the phone won't unlock it keeps saying detecting face. I'm on POSP, A11 Sept build

Sh*t, you are right. It's actually the same for me, I was misled because I use Smart Unlock at the same time. So something is broken @null-dev

If you use the "TEST AUTH" button in the app does it successfully recognize your face?

Can you check what permissions the app has been granted? It needs the permission to unlock your phone, is that granted?

Also, does the phone unlock if you use a different unlock animation?

I haven't checked with different animations but yes the test auth works just fine.

I tried with all animations and all permissions are given to the app yet it doesn't works!

Here the same like with @Lucky_069. Permission is granted, test auth is correct, but phone doesnt get unlock with any animation

I can provide logs if needed

Hmm, can you send me a log of the issue? Install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dp.logcatapp, open it and hit record in the top right corner. Then try using face unlock on the lock screen and after 10s unlock the phone manually and stop the recording. Attach the resulting log file here.
