regarding the new face unlock released in pixel 4

[drakov4444]

As we all know the recent pixel 4 only has face unlock, is there any possibility that will come into our custom ROMs? I don't mean to tell other biometric auth are not worthy, but a dedicated face unlock would mean we can completely avoid miui for good as the complete hardware can be properly utillised

This post is just a discussion if this is a possibility or not. Others who find it offense leave now.

No. The pixel 4 has the proper sensors for face unlock. Poco doesn't.

If mi 8 roms can be ported to poco f1 with different face unlock between both then why won't this be possible? (Mi 8 has a 3D face unlock similar to pixel4 or iphone, poco has 2D face unlock)

And other than the extra soli sensor i dont see anything else different in this case

Nope, mi 8 have the same face authentication like poco, mi 8 Explorer edition it's the unique xiaomi with 3d method. Whatever, you can't "port" a hardware feature, you only can adapt it to the hardware you have, but it's not the same, the pixel 4 got a very specific biometric hardware. You can see the same interface in the app, but this no supposed work as same.

My poco phone can be unlocked by my Brother and cousin brother with face unlock. It is not as secure as thought

The pixel 4 has 2 ir sensors (as does the iPhone X series) meaning it is capable of 3d face unlock. It's nothing to do with soli
As you will know, the F1 only has 1 ir sensor, allowing 2d face unlock but not 3d

I guess you are talking about custom ROMs as I am on stock MIUI and nobody else can unlock my device by using their face. I have tested multiple times and the results were the same.

To implement the softwares we don't need the hardwares as exact right? Maybe a few actions could be removed and just accept the 2d data alone?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it the ir implementation is proprietary - a xiaomi thing rather than being baked into Android. As such a custom rom would need to include the ir face recognition solution xiaomi developed, which isn't available to anyone else

Of course, the old camera based face unlock is still available, if that's if any use to you

I remember now, lineage os tried making a face unlock for pie and they got the libs for the ir camera, there was some legal issues and then they had to discard the development. That's why we won't get the ir camera unlock for any of custom ROM...

Please close this thread

I am a new poco owner.
MIUI roms (non port) indeed has proper face unlocking process; it cant even unlock if my eyes are closed but in CRdroid (with the claim of IRcam working) still unlock the phone even when I close my eyes.

Android 10 removed face unlock.
If you needed face unlock, please use android pie. You can find the face unlock option inside smart lock.

no bro,in miui 10 and 11 (official) is not secure, my brother can unlock my phone, my bro and I have 9 years difference,

Guys can we implement a 3d unlock by using both the IR and camera so that we can some how port the pixel 4's unlock feature just by some tweaks. I know it will not be as good for unlocking in pitch dark atleast it can be implemented....?

Is anyone else having problems like "failure to enroll in facial unlock" upon entering the initial face set up screen? I am on pixel 4 rooted via magisk boot.img patch method and the current may security update.

No it didn't. I still have it and I'm on the latest .8 build which is based on MIUI11 Android Q.
