Anyone got it working?
I know it's there, cause when i look at the installed app list with anttek app manager it is shown on the list. but anyone got it working?

Dunno, maybe try ripping the xoom's settings.apk & running it on your tf... probably won't work, but u can try

Transformer doesn't have Face unlock feature. Camera quality + no flash + night = ****ty moment.

Come one... the camera quality should be good enough to be able to do it...
This is one of the features why I was so excited for ICS, why did they break it out? :S

What on Earth does 'no flash' have to do with it ???? its the FRONT camera that gets used !!
I have Face Unlock on my Nexus but to be honest it stayed enabled a day or so as a novelty but is now an unused feature.

Face unlock will be available for Revolver

I've never seen a frontcam flash XD
But my Galaxy will probably get it soon
But my front doesn't work at all anymore? :S
The camera app presents a black screen, and when I try to click on something after thet, it crashes...

Front camera working for me .... did you flash via CWM ? and if so did you then flash the full ICS (minus recovery) OVER THE TOP ?
That seems to clear up a lot of small issues .....

It seems to be the only issue I have so far, everythign else works like a charm...
I just used the update feature in the tab itself...
Edit: The front cam does work when I switch to it in the Ustream app... so I guess it will work in Skype to... I never use it in the camera app anyway

The lack of flash is a problem when it is night or you're in the dark.

lol..... really ??
no what i meant is that there arent many (any?) phones/tablets with a flash on the Front camera so its not an issue with the TF and face unlock ....
like i say though - face unlock on my Nexus is pretty much unused.

Faceunlock is one of the few new options in Android which is actually noticeable. ASUS sucks just like the others.
and @PatrikSelin
****ty moment is when you mother's doing poop, if don't want to use FU you JUST don't have to! And you're an idiot, 'cause neither phone has flash at front <facepalm>.

How many times have I said "phones has flash at front"? None. Face recognition in the dark works like a car with square wheels (hint: It just doesn't work).

What is Daydream function?

There are many useless app on the S4 and this is one of them that I don't get the functionality or usage of it. What is it good for anyway?

dont know what its good for its pretty much just a screen saver for when phone is in a dock or is charging
i rather have the screen off when charging

This is a stock Android feature so its not a gimmick Lol. I use it to show my clock when its docked on the wireless charger. The only problem is that Samsung for some stupid reason took out the clock daydream... Can't wait until I get CM 10.1

Because there are so many people saying airgestures are gimmicks and a lot of other features but they all work and most are useful. More useful than daydream

Yeah I would I actually created a thread like yours a while back and several requests to rom devs but no luck I think it is just a matter of weeks till we see it again also if you like the water lockscreen try Xnote rom as far as I know it is the only rom which has ink with finger effect.

Man I am not installing an app to do what should and also was on this device.
I know when I first got my note 3 in Oct last year if you selected none for the lock screen it would give you the flare and it left after like the 3rd update

I don't know if it is already on our system but I cant see it in my lock screen options so I assume it is not available for the Note 3.
The mod for the S3 on 4.3 is in this post:

You can see the screenshot of the lock screen selection and it shows "Light Effect".
Maybe someone can shed some light on this matter for us

Actually on our device on android 4.3 it was present but on kitkat they must have taken the effect off also about the app somebody suggested.... the app does work BUT you cannot see the small light when you hover your finger over the screen actually you can but if you keep both your lockscreens active which is a bit uncomfortable so it is a dead feature for me at least and the app is not convertable to system which means you cannot push it to system which also means the app could fc at the lack of ram or a another third app closes it to save ram etc etc....and the worst thing of all was after I found out that kit kat didn't have lights effect/flare effect it was too late to go back to 4.3

Weird.
I am still on 4.3, I am running Omega ROM v6 and I cant see it available in my lockscreen settings.
I hope someone can work on a mod for 4.3/4.4 then for us

App to Light up Camera ring for Notification

Hi,
As the title suggests does any app exist yet to Light up the front camera ring when you receive a notification, just like edge lighting but around the camera ring?
I think it would be pretty awesome

Currently this app can light up the camera cutout ring for notifications. Enjoy until the dev polishes with more features.

Thanks for this! From my understanding, it doesn't technically use the front facing camera's LEDs, but it comes close enough. Most won't realize/notice it, but it works.
