Now I'm facing a real issue...

Everything is installed properly, I tried the TEST AUTH button and it confirms it works but...

When I'm on lockscreen, it detects my face, recognizes it and shows the "Welcome!" text, but fails unlocking the device...

I'm still on YAAP12.1 on a gucamoleb.

Any idea why I'm facing this issue, or any solution please? Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] sakarya1980:
Hinall Android 13 DP2 users on P6 :) here is a solution for work, when you can't turn on in accessibility. Works by me
[Xposed Framework Modules] hanschke:
Cannot confirm
[Xposed Framework Modules] niko26:
Works incredibly fast on my P6P. Faster than face unlock on the Pixel 4 Pro.

Kudos to the author :)))

How do I disable face unlock temporarily?
[Xposed Framework Modules] EldigoR:
Perfect!!

Many thanks

Using Poco F3 ArrowOs 12.1
[Xposed Framework Modules] Slim2none4u:
Followed the OP. What's the issue here? I've tried WiFi and cellular data and it seems to not want to download the files. It looks good like 30 second and then this error.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Slim2none4u:
Scratch that. Figured it out. Did't have face unlock app checked in Lsposed scope.

Edit:

And it works great!! Thank you dev!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] David B.:
This looks awesome! I am considering installing it on my Pixel 6 Pro since the fingerprint scanner is basically useless especially with a case on.

Also, has anyone tried using Fingerface to redirect calls to the fingerprint API to the face unlock? Does it work with this module? Is it even necessary?

For those who don't know what I am talking about: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Fingerface
[Xposed Framework Modules] David B.:
Do you use and/or need Fingerface to authenticate with third party apps?

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Fingerface
[Xposed Framework Modules] Pekempy:
I don't and i would rather not as the face unlock is less secure so would leave banking apps vulnerable
[Xposed Framework Modules] dary1zhu:
On the new Android 13 beta 1, when using this module, I still need to use pin or fp to unlock after my face got recognized on lockscreen. Is this another permission issue? Log attached
[Xposed Framework Modules] b4minee:
Hi brother please help me with this files. Where can I get them?
[Xposed Framework Modules] electronika:
It should download them automatically, perhaps you are using an old version. Make sure you have the latest APK from https://github.com/null-dev/UniversalAuth/releases
[Xposed Framework Modules] plipper:
it's possible to activate a front flash?
[Xposed Framework Modules] sikandersawhney:
@David B. and @Pekempy and OTHERS. I know Fingerface would leave face unlock less secure and leave banking apps vulnerable.

But has anyone tried Fingerface with UniversalAuth on Pixel 6/Android 12, I am fine with leaving the apps vulnerable but wanted to know if this works? As I would root my phone only if and for Fingerface with UniversalAuth!
[Xposed Framework Modules] David B.:
@sikandersawhney I haven't tried this out yet, so I cannot tell you, unfortunately.
[Xposed Framework Modules] carmnucc91:
I have the same exact issue, i am on pixel 6 stock latest rom. Am on 1.7 version both of lsposed module and of apk. How do i fix this? I downloaded from github.
[Xposed Framework Modules] spr33:
I attempted to install the Magisk module this evening but I'm just getting an 'unzip error' message appear when attempted to install it.

Pixel 6 Pro - A12 QPR

Magisk version 24301.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Negan:
I'm quite happy to have found this. Since I've just replaced the screen of my pixel 6 pro last night as anticipated, rip fps. Would it be possible in the future to add multiple looks to it? For example with glass on/off or with a hat on or is that something that's too much effort or simply not doable?
[Xposed Framework Modules] David B.:
I think you can get it working again if you use the fingerprint calibration tool.

Google releases fingerprint sensor calibration tool for Pixel 6, but use it with care

Google has released a fingerprint sensor calibration tool for the Pixel 6, but it's not clear if it can be used for screen replacements.

www.xda-developers.com
[Xposed Framework Modules] Negan:
Nope. It won't work if you install a new screen. Google lies to us. It's a known issue on the Google support page with a lot of people complaining. Even if an official repair company that's certified by Google like iFixit tries to do it, they still have the same issue. So this is something Google has done and it looks like they're ignoring it because they keep locking threads that people are opening about this and disabling comments on the main ones. They're just not doing anything about it. So it looks like if you replace your screen you're screwed. And face ID is probably going to be the only solution. Basically, when you run the fingerprint calibration tool it immediately fails because it recognizes that it's not the original screen, so it's a bunch of BS
[Xposed Framework Modules] David B.:
Sad to see that Google is going the same way as Apple. ☹️ I've never replaced my screen, but I still can't use my fingerprint scanner because of the screen cover. I really like my 6 Pro, but I do so miss having the fingerprint scanner that actually works on my 3XL.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Negan:
I may have to try this later tonight and see. Would be handy to have it working.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Negan:
I saw your post last week about fingerface. Have you tried it yet?

Update:. Tried it, doesn't seem to do anything at all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] David B.:
Thanks for sharing that it didn't work. I hadn't tried it, but considering that it was for an older version of Android, I am not surprised to hear that it doesn't work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Akyddz:
I have an error while downloading the face unlock libraries when asked :

Error

An error occurred while downloading the file:

java.net.SocketTimeoutException:

timeout
[Xposed Framework Modules] Slim2none4u:
Add Face unlock to Universal Authenticator's scope in LSposed and restart phone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Akyddz:
It's work : just uninstall and reinstall the "faceunlock-release.apk"

Thanks BTW
[Xposed Framework Modules] sixohtew:
I did that and I'm still getting that error on pixel 6 pro

EDIT after forcing universal authenticator to restart it's working fine
[Xposed Framework Modules] electronika:
Any update on the Android 13 beta 1/2 situation? It still doesn't seem to work, sometimes scanning but unable to unlock and sometimes not working at all edit:working now, props
[Xposed Framework Modules] dary1zhu:
Could you tell me how to force restart universal auth?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ness151:
After some wranglin', I got this to work on my Pixel 6 Pro, what a neat app. Thanks, OP.
[Xposed Framework Modules] David B.:
Did you have to do anything special to make it work?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ness151:
So what I did was:

1. install the latest Universal unlock

2. install this version of the faceunlockrelease apk posted on page 9 by the OP here faceunlockrelease2.apk

3. Open LDSposed, click on UniversalAuth and click the 3 dot menu, choose "recommended"

4. Open Magisk, go into the denylist, and select "Face Unlock" Then, while still in Magisk, choose "restart"

5. Go into Face Unlock, and proceeded to download the files. I then moved forward with the setup.
[Xposed Framework Modules] David B.:
Very useful. Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Radon7:
the face unlock app ist greyed out in my accessibility services in A13 Beta 2 on Pixel 6 pro. Any ideas?

EDIT:

Nevermind, got it working...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Radon7:
Having the same issue on A13 beta 2. Any news on that?
[Xposed Framework Modules] null-dev:
Can you give this APK a shot? It's only for the xposed module, keep the face unlock app installed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Radon7:
Awesome! Its working now, thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] nibera:
Hi, does it work on android 13 beta 2?

pixel 6 pro software installed:

- android 13 beta 2 unlocked bootloader and root

- magisk canary 24312 (29)

- lsposed 1.8.3 (652) - Zygisk

what do you need now to have face unlock?
[Xposed Framework Modules] nibera:
hello, installed universalauth-xposed-release.apk and then faceunlock-release2.apk, I followed the instructions as described by other users, but the faccial unlock is not enabled in the accessibility menu.
[Xposed Framework Modules] gururoop:
Can you please share how did you get past this?
[Xposed Framework Modules] nibera:
i am interested too, i have the same problem, thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] Radon7:
You just go to app info for the face unlock app, then to the permissions where all permissions are listed and there should be a three dot menu at the top right corner. There you should be able to enable additional permissions. Hope that helped.
[Xposed Framework Modules] nibera:
perfect now it works, thanks friend
[Xposed Framework Modules] texas7412:
could someone please send me the library files? I can't find them anywhere i'm just stuck on a screen asking for the files.. thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] null-dev:
You might be on an old version of the app, the new one should download the library files automatically. Try the APKs here: https://github.com/null-dev/UniversalAuth/releases/latest
[Xposed Framework Modules] texas7412:
That's the one i have currently but it isn't installing anything...
[Xposed Framework Modules] null-dev:
Even if you need to import them manually, they should be trivial to find. Like literally just search "moto face unlock 01.03.0312" on Google.

[Xposed Framework Modules] DavinLaksana21:
Hi , im using xperia 5 . Arrow os android 12L

I successfully installed this face unlock . But . After that i clear my fingerprint . To test if i can use it without fingerprint . Then i want to add my fingerprint , the setting force close . I test with service test . It says my phone doesnt have fingeprint feature . What the fix ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] gururoop:
Is this working for anyone in Android 13 Beta 3? Mine just shows "Looking for face..." in the lockscreen and "Welcome" but doesn't unlock the phone. I checked the settings and it is enabled in accessibility and has the permission to unlock the device. I dirty flashed Beta 3 on top of Beta 2.1 where it was working fine.
[Xposed Framework Modules] BlueReaperX:
Same. However, it works if I disable the "Auto dismiss lockscreen" option but now I have to swipe to dismiss the lockscreen.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Koss4c:
Just wanted to jump in and say Huge TY. have a pixel 6 pro, broke my screen, repaired it and yeh no fingerprint. been punching in code like a grub for ages. stumbled on this and Woo. life changed. Ty!
[Xposed Framework Modules] anywaywhat:
I'm also facing that issue with timeout downloading for libraries, any method to fix that? i've done almost everything i saw
[Xposed Framework Modules] sharkie405:
Import this APK instead of trying to download the libraries.

Disclaimer: I downloaded this off of some APK download website after Google searching the proper version number for the face unlock app. I cannot speak to the APKs legitimateness or security; however, I've been using it for a week or two now with no issues, Google Play store scans it and says it's fine, and malwarebytes also scanned it and says it's fine, so... It's probably fine.

If you want to try to seek out the APK yourself, the correct version number is listed in this thread multiple times.

EDIT: it's not letting me upload the APK, sorry. But just search the thread for the version number and then Google search it, you'll find it in the first link or two.

I also had to try to install/import the APK two or three times before it worked properly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] NippleSauce:
Same issue here. "Auto dismiss lock screen" does not work on Android 13 Beta 3. Which is a pain for me being that this is my first time trying this module out.

I have to disable that setting and then swipe to unlock which takes about the same amount of time as just using the fingerprint scanner lol. But there will probably be a UA Face Unlock update that resolves this issue soon.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rejectedjs:
Came here to say that it's working perfectly fine on a OnePlus 9 Pro running Paranoid Android Beta 1.

I did have an issue where the download for the libs timed out, but it was easy enough to search through the thread and find out how to manually import them.

After I imported them, the app kept crashing every time I tried to open it, but after I went and enabled the app in Accessibility, everything worked fine, including the "even faster" mode.
[Xposed Framework Modules] alprtewwqfr:
Does it work in 32bit phones?
[Xposed Framework Modules] megapinky:
Any tip to get accessibiy enable, I'm on A13 beta 3.2
[Xposed Framework Modules] msr4:
Android 13 doesn't do a great job at telling you how to circumvent this. You just need to go find the Face unlock app in your list of installed apps, and then open the three-dot menu on the top right and select 'Allow restrictive settings'.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ms70019925:
Hi there

I have just recently installed this app and after using for a time, it works perfectly for me but faced an issue while there is a Device Admin Lock, the app still uses face unlock.

Android version - Android 12.1

ROM - Arrow OS

Hi. Will it be possible to use another front infrared camera with infrared illumination for face unlock?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Yoannjap:
Hey,

Thanks for your solution but it doesn't work in my case :

• I use a Sony Xperia 5 ii (XQ-AS72)

• 58.2.A.7.93 stock ROM is installed

• rooted with Magisk 25.1

• Using Zygisk

• LSposed 1.8.3 installed

• I first installed UniversalAuth 1.8, activated it on LSposed

• I rebooted my phone, downloaded faceunlock-release.apk version 1.8 and installed it

• I activated the UniversalAuth module in LSposed checking System (recommended) and Face Unlock app

• I rebooted again, launched Faceunlock

••• It tries to download the files, but the output is an errir: "An error occurred while downloading the files: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: timeout".

Did I do something wrong?
[Xposed Framework Modules] choder:
Working on my Pixel 6 Pro. I bought a the 6 pro last fall and sold it because the buggy in screen fingerprint reader and no face unlock. I just recently purchased another one to try it again. This has made it so much better to use. And the finger print reader is actually improved.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bigdog1459:
I am sure I am missing some little step.

I have a pixel 6 pro running the July update. Got lsposed installed. Installed the face unlock apk as well as the magisk module. Was able to import from the moto apk for the face unlock libraries. Got my face to register and it looks like it takes it on the lock screen but simply doesn't unlock. I did make sure that the unlock privilege was enabled.

Any thing else I'm missing?

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] b0uNz:
Has anyone tested it on the latest Android 13 Beta 4.1 on the Pixel 6 Pro?
[Xposed Framework Modules] :

[Xposed Framework Modules] liver20:
How can do it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] geonatom:
is there a way to add it to android 9 ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] liver20:
Cannot make to works on A13 beta4.1

When open face app and try to download face package, never download It
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Use the linkes version and update it later when library files are downloaded.

[Xposed Framework Modules] liver20:
Works, i configured app but not works because cannot active in accesibility
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Go to apps --> face unlock. Press on the 3 dots on the right upper corner and allow restricted settings.

I have attached an example.
[Xposed Framework Modules] liver20:
Working!!! Thanks

But when screen turn on and see my face, lockscreen not dismiss, have to slide to unlock
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
That's the only working way so far.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Slim2none4u:
Toggle off "Auto Dismiss lockscreen"
[Xposed Framework Modules] liver20:
Yes... But still have to slide lockscreen
[Xposed Framework Modules] bgboii:
Do I have to set screen lock to none?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Slim2none4u:
No. I didn't. YMMV
[Xposed Framework Modules] bgboii:
So what do you have it set to? I have the fingerprint scanner enabled. It doesn't want to work though. It just says welcome and doesn't do anything.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lucky_069:
This isn't related to this module. But can the dev make an applock too which supports adding native applock feature, and possibly facelock like this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cbomb1337:
Looks like support is dead. Some 1 close the thread.
[Xposed Framework Modules] niko26:
What?
[Xposed Framework Modules] kafisc:
Can confirm this is working with A13. And it's not that bad at the moment if you need to swipe in order to unlock.

Give the dev some time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bgboii:
How did you set it up? I can't get mine to work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Everything you need is mentioned in the last replies of this thread or the op.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zehlek:
Say not installed as it isn't compatible with your device. Pixel 6 A13
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Weird worked fine on P6 Pro and A13 beta. Can't confirm on stable A13 because I'm on a custom ROM right now.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rester555:
Guessing the new A13 stable incorporates lock screen commits that were not in A13 beta.

[Xposed Framework Modules] i42o:
Exactly. Does not automatically unlock on stable Android 13. Due to commits that were introduced into lock screen. Give developer some time
[Xposed Framework Modules] zalman1:
hi everyone I updated the phone to Android 13.

I'm trying to set up the face opening.

When I open the application faceunlock-release.apk - it asks me to download library files..

It starts downloading, but there is an error while downloading the files.

java.net.SocketTimeoutException:

Is it possible to import the files manually?

Where do I get the files from?

Or maybe it doesn't currently work with Android 13?
[Xposed Framework Modules] merxxx:
Not working for me on P6. My fingerprint sensor doesn't work after replacing the screen and am currently stuck to using a 4 digit code. The install seemed to go fine after having to manually import the files. But there is no change at the lock screen, I still end up having to enter the code. I've tried restarting and no difference.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rester555:
In this thread is the file you need... can't remember which post
[Xposed Framework Modules] red5pade:
You need to download the moto face unlock APK and then click import. After you import it will ask you to give it accessibility access but it will probably be greyed out. Go into settings then and go to apps section and click on face unlock. Then permissions and at the top right corner it will ask to give full permission and just type in your passcode. I believe you need to give camera access and that's it but honestly I'm not sure. Now go back to the app and it will ask you again to give accessibility control and this time it won't be greyed out. It should work now. Hope that helps
[Xposed Framework Modules] smurfmeat:
No, it still doesn't work even if you grant accessibility access, it'll stay on the lock screen with a "Welcome" message but you still have to manually unlock it, even if you have the bypass lock screen option ticked in the app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ghisy:
This works on Android 13 but it's pretty janky: every time I unlock my screen, all the icons in my status bar are gone except for the time. I need to swipe down the notifications shade for them to reappear.

So for now, I've disabled this face unlock until it's (hopefully) fixed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] merxxx:
I've downloaded the apk from 2 diff links, given all permissions, and uninstalled and reinstalled a second time but it's the same result. Only difference is, I don't have the 3 dots on the top right for permissions, but I've allowed all permissions I could.
[Xposed Framework Modules] merxxx:
Yup, this is exactly what happens to me too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rester555:
That's because Android 13 committed software changes to the lock screen. Tweaks to the universalauth face unlock apk has to be modified for this to work. Depends on what the commits from google did to the lock screen.
[Xposed Framework Modules] merxxx:
I haven't received an update yet, I'm still on Android 12
[Xposed Framework Modules] rester555:
Interesting, what update are you on?
[Xposed Framework Modules] zalman1:
Exactly what you wrote here, and I also took a screenshot.

I am using Pixel 6 Pro, Android 13.

Using Magisk root access,

with LSPosed.

1 - I installed universalauth-xposed-release.apk and verified the module in LSPosed.

2 - Next, I installed the Face Unlock APK,

3 - Then, when I opened the face unlock app, it gave me a "java.net.SocketTimeoutException:" error message, and the solution was to import the Motorola APK. And it succeeded.

4 - I disabled the setting "automatic lock screen cancellation" in the application.

And now the problems are:

- You have to swipe the screen every time to unlock the phone.

- I think it causes the screen to turn on even when the phone is in the pocket. I could not check if this is indeed the case. But I have a strong feeling that it is happening, and it is happening because of this.

- The status bar at the top of the phone disappears most of the time, and you have to scroll the notification bar from the top for the status bar to return. (video attached).

Does anyone have any idea what can be done?

[Xposed Framework Modules] emc02:
I've installed this on my Zenfone 8 (because of the poor under-scree-fingerprint reader) and it works great even in not perfect light conditions. So big thanks to the developers!

@null-dev

Would it be possible to detect if there is enough light and turn the screen white as light source, so you can even unlock in darkness? That would be perfect.

As workaround I could of course set a white lockscreen, but maybe it's just a little update to the app and this would be possible?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cbomb1337:
If use want it running properly use have to flash the Android 12 developer build. On the Google online flash tool the. This will work and don't need to swipe anymore.
