Facelock - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Howdy, so I got my prime the other day, rooted today, and while using titanium backup freezing stuff I saw com.Android.Facelock But searching the normal way I can't find how to activate it. It's not under Settings/Security/set screen lock.
Am I missing something or is it just there to tease us?
Thanks for any that reply

Yet it still runs, or is cached?
Going to wait for a day to flash a ROM, I believe it's best as tp is still new to development....
Thank you both

I'm unsure of the face unlock because it might lock me out for good.

Not sure what a day will get you, but good luck with that thought.

I'm pretty sure Google makes you choose a PIN or password when you use face unlock, so that if the face-unlocker isn't working, you won't be locked out

That ugly huh?
But yeah, with face unlock you set a pin code as an alternative/backup unlocking method so that you don't get permanently locked out. Even Google recognizes it as a pretty unreliable feature
Still though, I'm looking forward to a stable release build of CM9 so that I can has faceunlock

Didn't you edge watch the Google Nexus videos on you tube? They show the Galaxy Nexus and all its features...and yes, there is pin for you to alternatively enter. I'm curious why is running out still in the system if Asus disabled it.....
This isn't my DX2

Booooo, that's some BS (not that I'm doubting it's true, but BS in the sense that we should have it). It's just an app with very little requirements (camera?). I thought the purpose of a Nexus was to showcase the features of the software, not necessarily sell the phone, but the OS. At least given our current history (48hrs to get Asus to agree to unlock the bootloader, root obtained before most people got their tablet) I don't imagine it will be too long til we get it ported over somehow

just pulled the facelock.apk from my GNexus and tried to install it, and it says:
"Replace Application?
This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?
All Previous user data will be removed."

so i guess its in the system but not allowed to be used yet. i have no idea.
I posted this in the other thread about Face Unlock, I was looking thru the apps disabling what I could in the settings and I see that Face Unlock is in there it lets you force close it and disable it. Its version 4.0.3-239410 and says its 64KB not sure if thats the full app or maybe something that will get added in later. Maybe we just need to find a way to enable it?

This is such BS... I was really looking forward to this feature. Hope our magical devs will be able to enable it soon, or alternatively I hope ASUS enables it in another OTA very soon. This is our first iteration of ICS afterall, I'm sure there are still plenty of things that need to be ironed out or added.

Its not stock on the Sensation. You have to have flashed a rom that included it, which might be what we have to do with the prime.
Not to be a downer on the whole thing, but i have it on my GSII, it doesnt work all the time...

Most likely, with the impending release of ICS, face unlock is a general feature of ICS that probably will be included with Sense 3.6 OTA.

it looks more annoying than fun imo
saw some people at work playing with it on a galaxy s and a sensation
had to be in the right light - and repeated attempts to get a lock...
good idea - but as said - fun for a couple of days.
photos also are a bit of a flaw... maybe they should make you do several movements instead and recognize that.. but again probably more annoying as you may keep getting it _slightly_ wrong
Bad lighting will render it useless. And it takes more time to unlock.

They should combine it with the normal pattern unlock. So if the light is too low you can still unlock it with the pattern.

This is a solution, but the fact of the matter is that it takes me 1/2 a second to draw a pattern and its takes the camera at least 2 seconds to unlock the device. With that combination i would simply draw my pattern every time unless i was trying to show someone how the facial unlock works. And dont think im alone, cause i know most people who would use the facial lock feature are those who already have a password on their phone, and ive seen countless threads on how to get rid of the initial lockscreen in favour of only having the pattern screen. With the number of people who are lazy enough to not want to double swipe it leads me to believe hardly anyone would actually use the facial unlock unless it was flawless and faster...
To tell you the truth my pattern is a simple L from top corner to opposite bottom corner. And although simple and easy to draw, chances are nobody would ever guess it.

For some reason the ASUS unlock tool wont work for quite a few people it gives a "unknown error message could be related to connection issue" I contacted ASUS and they say they cant help me because my serial number has been unlocked and my warrenry it gone. But the funny thing is that my Prime was unlocked when I sent it to them last month and bricked . they fixed it for free and sent it back and it was not unlocked anymore and now i cant unlock it.
wow this is interesting because I had mine fixed from them too due to a bad battery or something, they re locked mine too. I am actually not trying to unlock my prime for now. No real reason other than with my prime unlocked all I did was wish I had not unlocked it.
I used Virtuos Rom which was the same as stock to me, and realized all the good stable roms were based off stock.
Now I am just waiting for a way to root this on .21 without having to downgrade to .15

what someone needs to do is unlock their prime while monitoring TCP/UDP packets. decrypt them and we can easily create a server that emulates connection to ASUS. Of course the meaning for this would ***NOT*** be to illegally unlock your device, but to unlock your device because the normal way is causing issues like the OP

It's just HTTPS, which is trivial to do since we have full access to the client device. Not much going on except for a few GET/POSTS with serial numbers, board numbers and the like.
And no, even if you did record it there's nothing of note since the device unlocking is based on purely device-specific keys.
Of course, this was all known on release day since a few people looked inside the apk to find this out for you.

Not likely. We also legally can't reverse engineer the app to do the same things and unlock everything.
There is practically NO reason to totally unlock the bootloader. We can flash different kernels and software on there no problem. The only reason we'd want to mess with it is if we really want to change the bootloader itself, which is dangerous as it is.

The fix for this is to wait and try unlocking another time. There are a few glitches with unlocking, but it's nothing permanent.
Last month I sent my "unlocked" TFP in for service for bent power pins, the unit returned to me upgraded to .21 and "relocked"...no charge the next week. I promptly unlocked it again...no regrets.

No, he meant there's no reason for Asus to release a FULL unlock tool. Right now, the unlock tool is only like a half unlock; they still limit what you're allowed to do after you run it.
You have to run their unlock tool in order to change kernels and flash ROMs.

The DNA is an awesome phone; however, if your phone comes with the newest update from HTC on it, be aware, there is currently software-based (free) method to unlock bootloader or modify the phone at all. Users with updated phones that were not previously unlocked have had to resort to JTAG service (something like $45 plus shipping) to have the phone S-OFF'ed (Radio S-OFF - Means you can flash whatever you please (even more so with the engineering bootloader flashed)).
If the phone prompts you for an update, DON'T DO IT! If the phone is already updated, you either wait and hope for someone to find a vulnerability, pay for JTAG service, or use the phone stock (still a good phone, but no root).
Good luck!

Root/Bootloader status:
firmware 1.x - fully blown open
firmware 2.x - locked tighter that a dolphin's butthole.
It will probably come with the 2.x software. I would recommend using the JTAG service provided here:
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/htc-droid-dna-dlx-jtag-s-off-modification-service/
Difference between a nexus and the dna... A world.
The gnex was made to open from the beginning. Running one fastboot command opened the entire floodgate, plus odin is an awesome tool for samsung devices. HTC devices have more parts that need to be cracked to have the same openess as the nexus. Right now 2.x firmware means you are running stock only (no root or anything). I'm coming from the gnex and was willing to pay for the jtag service because although I love the dev's work on this phone, I don't want to rely on them for everything.
Hope this helps.
Alright now what about things like supercid or HTC dev. Also if we can unlock the boot loader then why is s-off important. Or can we not unlock the boot loader on 2.xx

No HTCdev, no unlock of bootloader of any kind currently.
Oh okay so I read that wrong. So we can't even downgrade to a previous version or that requires root and an unlocked bootloader. Also if my device is on 2.x no root goodness for me huh?

Women can justify buying the same damn shoes and clothes in different shades of the same color, getsing jtagged should not be questioned.
And then oddly enough they complain when they see another in the same dress. Exclaiming how she stole her idea. Not even thinking she just might have the same taste in clothes but oh no that "B**** better get out that dress 'cause I wore it first"

You said what most of us think when we ponder a purchase that has to be approved by the gatekeeper/wife.
haha no comments on the women stuff i think you understand why hahaha
Like other post, i would say know that you will not have root for a bit and cm 10.1 is not done yet...but will be soon. You can go for JTAG or stick with stock or use nova launcher temporarily. The battery life is pretty decent but nothing crazy 4 hours of screen time-ish on stock. i usually get enough battery for 1 day and a few hours. Oh, fastboot will prevent a full restart of your phone so might want to disable that...and yea just look around settings. there are ways to increase battery and stuff. for example, there is a settings in wifi that allows it to auto turn off and use data unless you start using your phone. I think its a great device even through its a bit big for my taste, and i don't like stock much. Hope you enjoy your phone! I can't wait to get root and cm 10.1 on my phone. ^_^

Anyway my device will be here Monday thinks for the info I've only had Motorola and Samsung phones so HTC is a breath of fresh air

I don't know what it is with me but I'm honestly tired of using CM and AOSP for awhile. I've been enjoying Viper so that I can still get a breath of fresh air from Sense... even though most don't appreciate Sense. Honestly wish I could put a Sense variant on my N7 too just to change it up.

Same here. I love CM and AOSP/AOKP, but I tire of them pretty quick. I honestly don't understand the HTC Sense hate some people have. If it was that bad then everyone wouldn't be trying to find widgets that looked like the sense widgets on CM/AOSP. Sense is a really nice looking UI and their widgets are second to none.
I'm pretty much decided on sending out my DNA to be JTAG'd. How long can I expect to be without a phone? I think i'll be stuck using my rezound with just google voice.
