Face Unlock Alternative? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Since Google has removed Face Unlock from the Pixel 3 and 3XL is anyone aware of an alternative app that would work?

I recommend you the magisk module called "Google Face Unlock".
It adds the Trusted Face option in Smart Lock and works like a charm but if someone have another alternative I'll take it. I hope it can help you !

I also want alternative because trusted face is removed from smart lock

Has this been confirmed to work with the Pixel 3 running Android 9 Pie?

I tested the Magisk module but it doesn't work for me unfortunately
EDIT: I stand corrected, it works fine

How do you do that? Sorry about the noob question, but I haven't really modified my phone in YEARS! Unfortunately with PIXEL 3, that's changed... I already miss previous pixels and nexus!!

It doesnt work and also i dont want to root because of banking apps

It's working, but it's not auto unlock the screen. You have to swipe up after your face is recognized.
U have to root ur phone with Magisk and then simply flash the Module. It's stated to be for 8.1 but it's working on 9.0 as well.

Rooting with Magisk hides root from banking apps and Google pay. We all use it these days.

Not all. Chase doesn't work with root any longer, even after following several steps to hide, at least for me. I've read that it's hit or miss.

Sorry for the delay but yes, it's working on Pixel 3 running Android 9 pie.

You have to follow the guide to root your phone in the "GOOGLE PIXEL 3 XL GUIDES, NEWS, & DISCUSSION" section, it's really well explained. Then you just need to flash magisk then install the module called "Google Face Unlock".

Not true. I have Chase and I just logged in 2 seconds ago and checked my account. I'm rooted in latest Magisk.

You must have done something incorrectly. I have a pixel 3 rooted and I use Chase, PNC, old national, Citi, and Huntington and I've never had a problem.

I installed the Magisk module and now the Face Unlock app is installed. However there is no UI, there's not even the Smart Lock section in settings, probably because I don't have GApps installed (which is why I needed the Magisk module in the first place).
Is there a different standalone APK/zip in order to enable Smart Lock or to otherwise setup Trusted Face?

[Magisk Module] Bring back Google Daydream VR

Google quietly discontinued Daydream VR with the Pixel 4. If you have an existing Daydream VR viewer, it's useless with your Pixel 4. Fortunately, with root, we can re-enable support. While Daydream VR and phone-based VR in general are dying out, you can still use existing services like YouTube VR and other VR apps.
How to Install
Flash the Magisk Module attached to this thread and reboot.
Install Daydream from APKMirror.
Install Daydream Keyboard from APKMirror.
Note: If you don't hear any audio in Daydream, try running the following command in a rooted shell:
Code:
setprop persist.audio.vr.enable true
My Magisk Module should have already set this value, though.
Thanks, I was looking into getting one of those for YT, so I appreciate it!
Thats awesome thank you. And its nice thats its still a Pixel 4 in settings and not changed to Pixel 1 like other modules do.

Yeah, I wasn't satisfied with how a bunch of other modules were adding so much unnecessary stuff. This has just the bare minimum needed to get it working.
this works great! I can't use google photos though
Works great, thanks!
Anyone else notice there seems to be pixel ghosting? My original Pixel XL seemed to have hard time rendering smoothly, however movement had text semi readable, when still it was good.
However on my Pixel 4 XL, even slight movement makes text a blurry mess. Anyone know if this is an issue with display technology, or if it is a setting to fix?
I already tried:
force 90hz via developer settings
disable battery optimization for VR services, Daydream, Daydream Keyboard, and "Basic Daydream"... not sure what that last one is, but figured worth trying to disable battery optimization for that too, but no change, still blurry text at even very slight movement.
I appreciate this sharing
Thank you for this. Who in the world would have thought Google would discontinue this on their new phone!!
Anyone else having issues or know of a fix with apps closing when trying to load them in Daydream?
Thank you ! Is this specific to Pixel 4 or can I try to apply it on different phones ?
My sister will get a Xiaomi Mi 9 lite during holidays for example, would that have a chance to be usable ?
Ok, I rooted my phone, installed the magisk module, and the the daydream app and keyboard. However, when I put my phone in the headset, it still gives me an error message of "incompatible phone". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
I believe it worked fine on the December update. But just tried it on the Jan update and the module doesn't seem to be installing for me.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I had it fixed for a while, but I'm just now uploading it. The problem was that the module template was outdated, so I used MishaalRahman's file, changed the module template to the updated one, and repackaged it. And it works like a charm now, on all updates, including Jan and Feb. Anyway, just download the module attached to this post, and remember to install Daydream and the Daydream Keyboard(those links can be found on the first post).

LED Notification

So, my oneplus 7T has just arrived yesterday. I only come to know that the phone doesn't has LED notification today. Do I miss something that can replace the functionality of LED notification?
Thanks before.

So I'm new to this forum as I've only received mine yesterday. But is there any detailed guide on how to root this device? I have hd1900 with 10.0.7 OOS. I've browsed the guide section but it is for 10.0.3. Thanks.

the concept is the same as 10.0.3
you need to install magisk canary app, set OEM unlock and adb in developer options in phone, then find the correct 10.0.7 magisk-patched-boot.img file from the forum then flash with adb
Just installed aodNotify by Jawomo on playstore. It's an early access app(not everyone will be able to download just yet). It's just fantastic!! I bought the pro version (less than a dollar). No battery drain, absolutely does what you intend to. Highly recommend it!

How can you use it on oneplus ? . As far as I know AoDNotify only compatible with Samsung phones . No way to run on oneplus .
Please check on playstore. It clearly says its for one plus(actually 8). Anyways i have been using it flawlessly. Y don't you try it for yourself and see..

Thanks for sharing. I guess the app developer needs to update the app's description then, as it still lists specific Samsung devices as the only ones with which it will work.

Question Safetynet api error

Hello looking for help as I can't figure out what's wrong. I've tried downloading the code on only wifi and only mobile data and I still get the api error. I'm not running any add blockers.
Using magisk canary.
I just came here to post this exact question and you beat me to it. I'm having the same issue, but I did verify that SafetyNet passes using another app from the play store, so the issue seems specific to magisk.

What's the other app? As long as it's passing I guess that's all that really matters.

Oh well, that looks bad. May switch to iPhone if that's the case. Pixel phones lack performance and other Android phones have a quite bad software experience in comparison, oneplus included.
My plan was to switch to a pixel rom soon to have the best of both worlds like I did with previous OnePlus phones as well. Now I may not be able to do that without losing many features. Thanks Google!

Per the link above, this is just an issue with Magisk app's API key, and the dev already has a fix. No reason to do anything drastic like switching to iPhone.

It is weird, some people still have others don't. It was temporarily removed in the last few updates for Google Pixel phones bootlooping. I have tried all 3, stable beta and Canary builds. All 3 have it missing.

Question UPDATE: FOUND IT Face unlock tutorial using zygisk lsposed?

I know there was a tutorial to use a face unlock APK for the pixel 6... I tried searching the forums and couldn't find it. I am phoning my XDA friends for help.
EDIT: sorry mods, I found it disregard.
Glad that you found it =). I'm just sitting tight with my fingers crossed that we will get an official face unlock release within the next four months.

I have been using the Universal Face Unlock module for a month now since my fingerprint sensor got borked after a screen replacement. Highly recommend. It mostly works and has been so much better than the FP sensor!

Probably the third search hit I found here, which leads to https://github.com/null-dev/UniversalAuth.
Does not work on my P6p.
Should I disable fingerprint?
i got it working by enabling the faceunlock apk in lsexposed
Best guide is here.
[11+] UniversalAuth: Face Unlock for all ROMs
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)...
forum.xda-developers.com

Question Is Face unlock coming or not?

Title says it all, have seen lots of rumours that it might be enabled but nothing concrete.
It's already here with a magisk module,
I don't think anyone here knows anything beyond what's publicly known, which is that there have definitely been code tweaks that are geared towards face unlock, but who knows when or even if for sure.
As said, yes, also if you root you can use a Magisk Module to get face unlock.
Well, the code was added, face match is added on Google assistant but not working yet, everything seems to point out that will be implemented, but until front end setting's are added, we'll have to rely on a magisk module. My bet is that will be implemented in future builds, whether is android 13 or afterwards I guess we'll see
My guess is no, they are getting everything set up and tested for the Pixel 7, we won't see it.
