That Face Unlock issue is still there, is there a way to revert it to the normal P4 face unlock method?

The current implementation works faster at setting it up, but it's kinda unreliable at unlocking(mainly when you're not in a bright environment). It fails to work in the dark, and the biometric authentication for apps just doesn't work at all, unless I'm doing something wrong?

Besides that, setting wallpaper from Google Photos results in " Error loading photo " but is fixed by installed Wallpapers by Google on the Play Store.

Everything else is perfectly fine. 👍

No you are not doing it wrong, the app auth is under review, but I do not have your same results. My faceunlock unlocks my device 100% of time and without fail. Light, dark, it doesnt matter, in fact its quite annoying because it unlocks even when I dont want it to unlock and sitting on my desk and I happen to walk by, boom unlocked. I would redo the face imprint in normal light, and it should work for you, its definitely fine for me.

What did you mean by this "is there a way to revert it to the normal P4 face unlock method"? Unless you mean "normal" in that its working as it should for biometric (Google auth), if so, its being reviewed.

Disabling that option takes away biometric authentication throughout the apps that have the option for you to use it, unless I'm missing something?

Here's an example of it within Magisk. Turning app sign-in with face just causes the prompt to show up and never work.

I am aware of what it causes when disabled but in my opinion, Faceunlock is a nice to have, but this is not a show stopper and should really only be used to unlock your device, but not authenticate anything biometric, this is an insecure method. Faceunlock warns you that anyone that looks like you can bypass it, and I have tested it with both my kids, and they both can unlock my device.

I see the MAGISK prompt is enabled when app is enabled, but because of the current issue with the app auth, it doesnt work so you can either find another ROM or wait, or try to fix it. In my opinion, why? Why bother worrying about a MAGISK biometric unlock not working when you can use any other method to do the same thing. Its just not an issue in my book, so maybe thats why I am so defensive, IDK. It just doesnt bother me, and I woulndt use it if it was working as intended with something like a SUPER SU request, anything can go wrong with that setup. You could accidentally allow an SU request you didnt intend to allow, all because it picked up your face., IDK but I dont see the problem.

Thats my 2-cents, but I can see why users would want it working, I guess my point is that it shouldnt be used for things like a fingerprint, its to risky.

Magisk bio unlock was just the only place I was able to take a screenshot. The others are protected from taking a screenshot due to privacy(otherwise, it's just a black screenshot or not allowed by the app), so I figured that was the perfect example of where I can show it. Within the other apps, the option to use biometric unlock were just deleted since it was treated as it didn't have the hardware to do so.


As for the face unlock, let's just say it's night and you're sleeping, you grab your phone and it scans your face in the dark, very minimum light needed. The face unlock within Bliss wouldn't unlock because it needs more light, my guess would be due to the faster face scan, It's not as accurate as stock(basically how you need to rotate your face to get a good scan of your face).

Now, for the random unlocking in your desk, I too experienced the same thing, but only on Bliss. I had my phone on my Pixel Stand while on the PC and it randomly unlocked. I fixed that by turning skip lockscreen off. I always have the lift to wake option disabled as well since that's the main reason for the random unlocking.

Lastly, just providing some details of some issues on the release.

Edit: Also, Magisk's bio unlock doesn't allow it just based on your face. It's actually added security. Once you click allow or deny, you then have to scan your face to able able to authenticate your action rather than just hitting allow or deny and be done with it.

Yup, understood, I do not use (nor trust) biometrics all that much, so I haven't enabled it in MAGISK, but it makes sense. An extra SU layer of protection which is good makes sense to use the faceunlock+SU reply (allow).

I already have skip lockscreen set (always set when the ROM supports it). I was more saying it for replying to the faceunlock not working in different lights comment. I have the exact opposite affect, it works TOO well for me, but still I like having it available when my hands are tied up. That's what I was more meaning than anything else. I also disable any and all lockscreen notifications, or wakes, or gestures, or "always show", or "lift to check", things like that. I do not want my screen waking or displaying nor do I use the squeeze gestures or any type of gestures as they are all battery wasters. With my setup and how I run it, I have a REALLY cool droid running Nova with a ton of theming and customizations, but the battery lasts almost 2 days when idle. When in use, I still get tremendous battery life with a bunch of cool looking features.

It just works in my book, I have zero issues or complaints with the latest Bliss. The app auth with faceunlock isnt an issue so honestly I wasnt looking to debugging it. I will speak with Marv and see if its something he wants me to look into, or just let it go (he may also be working on it upstream and I dont know).

@GROOVYJOSHCLARK @bigmarv31

Figured out a better way to explain the face unlock thing I was talking about...

The current implementation doesn't use the Pixel 4 face unlock sensors, it just uses the camera only, which is the original Android face unlock from the old days. That's why it didn't work in the dark or bad lighting. Is there a way to get the normal Pixel 4 face unlock working?

I was surfing around on Telegram and saw someone say something about face unlock being a GApps thing, but not sure if that's just the old face unlock and not the Pixel 4 version.

Thanks

yeah but I like to make users work for the results so they learn. I try to help by teaching them to fish, not give them the answers, otherwise they dont put in the work and learn it. I give just enough to get it started but not the entire layout of the steps :)

    Finally, our reboot of death issue has been confirmed - the implementation for SOLI is indeed the cause. Whether there is another way to add SOLI to ROM source without breaking other things is currently being evaluated. I just wanted to update everyone that the issue has been found - whether it can be fixed without removing SOLI entirely isn't something I know yet, but I didn't wanna keep everyone in the dark. When I find out more, you guys will know more :good:
