As always- I don't care what happens with your device, it burns, vaporizes, melts, freezes becomes a nuclear gun or whatever due to this guide. I'm not responsible at all. It would be fun to watch your phone get bricked though.. :p

What this guide will tell you?


It will tell you how to get face unlock on your stock rom, just in case you don't want to use any custom rom and then also need the feature.

WHAT DO I NEED?

> ROOTED stock firmware.
> Magisk framework installed and active.
> Xposed framework installed and active.
> Your Zenfone 3 :p

WHAT TO DO ?

> Root your phone (obviously)
> Install the magisk framework via twrp.
> Install xposed framework too (Either use the xposed zip directly or install xposed systemlessly via the magisk module).
> Once you have both running. Download, install and activate the following modules:
*GOOGLE FACE UNLOCK module--From magisk
*INSTANT FACE UNLOCK---From xposed-- This is not mandatory but it removes the need to swipe to get past lock screen
> reboot your system once to activate all modules.
> To set up face unlock navigate to settings>security>smart lock>trusted face and add your face in it.

and done..

special thanks to @lcnghulam for telling me about these modules.
Screenshots attached.

+++++++++++ after recent updates from Asus, face unlock has stopped working as mentioned by users. Idk what's the reason, maybe the Ota update has removed or modified any important stuff. I'll try to find some way to get it to work, might take time.++++++++

Hi, I have installed both Magisk via TWRP and Xposed Framework via Magisk Module, had restarted the device and follow the instructions until saved the face recognition, but still didn't work on my phone. Am I missing something?

Can we use this with custom Roms based on Oreo ?

Reboot the phone once, make sure all modules are enabled.

Try removing all unlock methods like fingerprint and add them back. Then add new face.
