Not a lot to say other than it works for me. You have to make sure your face is not backlit or it wont see the features it needs to unlock
Worth mentioning, my mate at work took a photo with me on his iphone and he was able to unlock my phone with that.
Also, if its dark, it wont recognise your face. It will go to your alternative method but there can be a delay so its slow to unlock your phone in dark places.

So I am sure you guys are aware of the pretty big security whole for Pattern Lock in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 2.
For those of you who dont know, the problem is that lets say you have a pattern lock enabled. You turn on the screen and w/o drawing the pattern let it dim.
If you try to unlock the screen again, it wont ask for your pattern. It works as if the pattern lock is disabled.
I was wondering if anyone has a way around this? or know any other possible solution for this since I hate putting pin number as a security.
Thank you

Yes we're aware, and yes, there's a workaround, it's even in a goddamned AT&T press release!
Have you considered rereading the XDA rules? Pay attention to rule #1, you just broke it.

re-setting their time-out screen to the "immediately" setting. This is done by going to the Settings->Location and Security->Screen unlock settings->Timeout->Immediately. "
I got this and I tried doing it earlier, but for some reason it still didnt work. I guess I was doing something wrong and will try it again.

Its not the phone or a security hole...it's you...this was only a problem when some people made it one...
If you just unlocked then let it time out after say a minute then quickly pushed the unlock button the phone is smart enough to know that the same person pushing the unlock button is the same one who unlocked it by swiping 1 to 2 minutes before...
And like Entropy said which you clearly ignored....
This is OLD news and not even considered a real issue....nor a security hole....

Thank you.
BTW! It not jsut the pattern lock option that do it. All lock screen options will let you in the same way, I tried them all.
So I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of my lock screen...I selected the option to have no screen lock in the settings multiple times though it still prompts the lock screen...I use goexplorer...is that making it still lock(The lock screen is the stock version, not golock or anything)?
Yesterday I switched between sense and golauncher and for both selected no lock screen in the settings, though that still didnt work...lock screen still present.
any idears? Also, is there a way to get pandora planted on the lockscreen...I remember when I was testing the beats with the stock music player, you could change the song and so on from the lock screen...that was nice.
Try WidgetLocker.....it's not free, but it's great.
Oh thanks for the recommendation though I'm trying to get avoid any lock screen, so I can check my phone without encountering the lock screen

I don't think it can be done.....good luck though.
Pretty sure you can, maybe you can see if it works on your phone?
Settings>Security>Set up screen lock> Select "None"
I cant remember if it worked when I first got the phone(when I didnt have goexplorer)..the nexus has the same feature and it was great not having to unlock it all the time...I just dont wanna hafta uninstall the goexplorer and loose all my settings :/
Nearly impossible unless you are rooted.

all that does is remove any security from the lockscreen (pin, pattern, etc), not the lockscreen itself.
Hmm I'm waiting to root after the ICS update...did it not work on your phone(going to the settings and changing the security preference)?

That takes away the pin or pattern screen, not the lock screen with the ring.

I use ADW, and when I have my NoLock app widget set to Unlock, I get no lock screen. When I turn the screen on, it goes straight to the last screen I was on.

Excellent, the golock app works perfectly B]
I am using ICS alpha 1, but I had this issue with the normal ICS leak as well. If I choose face unlock for security, and set the timeout to anything other than immediate, I have no lock screen at all until that timeout is reached. No swype or anything... anyone know why that is?
I think that's the entire purpose of the time out. It could get annoying holding the phone at the right angle in a decently lit area over and over if you're using your phone a lot but still allowing the screen to turn off. And that's at your best bet, at worst its too dark or bright and you have to really work to unlock it repeatedly.

Right, but now if the phone wakes before the lock screen timeout, it wakes to the home screen... which can be bad for pocket dials, etc...

Not locking immediately is the entire point of setting that timeout. It doesn't lock. If you want it to lock when the screen goes off, you have to set it to immediately.
I think understand what you're asking, though. If use facelock and set it to lock after 5 minutes, anytime you unlock it up to 4 minutes and 59 seconds, you want to have to swipe or use some other method to unlock. Pretty sure that's not an option, unless there's an alternative app out there that does it or a dev mods it to do that.

On other devices I have with ICS, its the default lockscreen until the faceunlock timeout is reached. The other device I have is HTC, so maybe sense has something to do with it. I was able to get the behavior I want just by using widgetlocker, but I dont like that solution... I like to stay as vanilla as possible.

Finger Print App lock - Unlock the lock 100% safe thru your fingers.
App locks allow us to keep the system and user application safe, I would like to take App lock into next leave using camera we made the first finger print app lock for all the devices.
Here you can download the application - ad-free version for xda users
Donation Version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingerprint.applockpro
Free version GP - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingerprint.applock
There are few phone in market has Finger print sensors - like One plus 2, Elephone p8000, UMI harmar, etc.. We wanted all the phone user should have a access to finger print sensor without the sensor, so we made the first app which can use the camera and act as a finger print sensor.
We made a simple application which can use the Camera Sensor and Un-lock the locked Apps.
If the Finger print is failed to detect, automatically the Pattern lock or Number lock will open and ask the password.
Unlock the app thru your fingers.
Finger prints are Encrypted by default.
Choose the option which way you want to unlock the apps ? Finger print ? Numbers or Pattern?
Requirement for Finger print - All you need a good Camera with Flash, I believe 8Pix Camera with Flash can do the real job.
We are looking for Video to post over google play store.. help us..

This is a terribly complicated app that gives zero extra security. A real fingerprint scanner is 100% secure and absolutely hassle free.

The reason of this not being to work out in comparison to the other "Fingerprint Sensors" out there is because fingerprint sensors are meant to be stealth, and be done in stealth. If you are going to on the flash and have the phone scanning for your finger and takes 15 seconds to process the whole finger, by that time people will already know what you are doing and that defeats the point of it being a proper way to secure your phone, in all sorts of situations.
And also, the video is ridiculous. But nice try nonetheless. If you are able to get the phone to capture your fingerprint by just placing it in front (like literally 1cm away) and without the needs of a flash, you got my money.
Looks like a big joke to me. I unlock my phone just by a swipe, your system takes too long, use APN+flash and is not certified to work. At least you made me laugh.
Welp, this whole community just shot you down. Nice idea though. but not practical.
This is a classic case of "making an app for the sake of making it" but not care about why such functionality exists in the first place.
Finger scanners exist not because people want to scan their fingers, but because it's faster, more convenient and more secured than using a pin lock or a pattern lock.
Those are the tenet of finger scanning, if you can come up with a better method to unlock the device (i.e. even more faster and convenient) then whether or not that method uses a finger scanner doesn't matter.
experiment
I believe the finger print scanner is experiment, we have pin and pattern lock too..
The video has made my day. On the other hand I totally agree with others that it's not practical at all and scanning your muddle finger in public would raise quite a few eyebrows.

You must understand that there are many free apps out there that does the same features in regards to using a PIN or a pattern, so either you do a brand new feature to actually unlock the phone, or rework on your fingerprint scanning "feature".
Like I stated before, if you really wanted such a feature to work, it is be able to do the following with ease.
1) Scan your finger within 10-15 seconds so that it will not look awkward in situations.
2) Flash is a no go for such stuff.
3) The UI definitely needs to be fixed a LOT in terms of the scanning and recognition part, the main UI seems decent and nice actually, with the hexagon design to access different menus and such.
4) Includes other ways to unlock like Bluetooth app press a button to unlock or something that would make your app be different from others and make people want to use your app.
There you go.
thanks a lot
Really am happy with your review.. I will fix all the issues..

Hi,
I just updated to mm official ota yesterday. Everything running great. One small issue I'm having though. When I turn on the screen and unlock with the finger print sensor it goes straight to the pin request. It seems the phone has unlocked, like the little vibration you get when it unlocks but it goes to pin unlock as if I've already tried and failed a few times with the sensor.
Anyone else?
The forum is full of posts discussing this. Anyway, apparently under marshmallow you cannot use an app to lock your screen because when you unlock, it will happen as you described. So probably you are using another method to lock the screen, other than pushing the power button. You'll see thsh when you lock your phone with the power button, you'll be able to unlock it with just the scanner. I don't even have marshmallow yet but I have been reading around.

Much appreciated. I done a quick search and scanned through but didn't see anything. I now realise I have Nova launcher quick link for screen lock which I use and after its asking for the pin. Power button is as you said. Thanks again!
