Smart face unlock - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

As we all know we have a smart lock option in the settings but sadly cant find the SMART FACE UNLOCK function. Is there any way to flash and enable that option or s8 oreo?

Sorry, for clarification, isn't Smart Face Unlock is a Galaxy S9 feature that combines iris scanner and face recognition?
I thought it is not here yet?

Well tbh we can hope for intelliscan to come for s8 and s8+ through custom roms.

I heard that it was found within the s8 oreo beta files. I don't see why it shouldn't happen on the s8 other than samsung. The scanning hardware on the s8 and s9 are exactly the same. The only difference would be if the 845 has something different than the 835 that allows for it to work better. I highly doubt this is the case though.

My question is why did they took it off from lollipop?
I don't want to downgrade but i miss smart scrolling.
Because it was just a crappy gimmick for the majority of people

try Tilt Scroll is not the same but is good :good:
I don't understand how it worked for you! I have tried to see how that thing works (I know how it should) in broad daylight under direct sunlight, but I could never make it work! Not only that, Smart Pause, Smart Stay, none of them worked! I was sure that something is wrong with my eyes, maybe people need to have some different kind of eyes, but then I asked at least a dozen of my friend to try to make it work, they all failed, I sighed knowing I have human eyes. Since then I hated any Smart features, and I am so happy that Lollipop doesn't have most of them.

Download additional camera modes: did you know it?

Well I was disappointed Sunday by the available surround capturing mode in my Edge when I found out today in the camera settings that you can actually download many additional modes, included the previous surround mode I was used to set in my S4 LTE+!
I think that many of us didn't know it either or?

My 2 years old son seems to have a built-in 'avoid focus' system and Sport mode is the only one that gives satisfactory results.

I doubt if that's possible. Also, I remember watching some video where you could change the focus of the objects after the pictures has been taken? Does anyone here has it?

Oh, Well I will help you out!
1) If your Samsung is a Sony, go to your PSP, get a pandora battery and insert it into your phone... Done!
3) Get a hammer and try to place your HDD back into your phone... Done
18) If nothing above works, try to peel off an electric cable off your wall plug and connect it into your battery, it should work fine now
Drop that thanks if it helped you
PS Android 7.0 is Chicken Nugget you newb

Easy! Get your nearest Nuclear Factory, leave your phone near some plutonium and it should evolve to a S9 Edge Note +-+-+
Worst case scenario will devolve to a iPhone
What a bunch of unhelpful pricks this group is! Despite his broken english it seems apparent to me he is asking if anyone knows a way to add the hardware. Despite being as brilliant as all of you like to think of yourselves, the truth is not one could understand that and simply point out that this is not the appropriate place for his question?

You can emulate a gyroscope through an xposed module . You should have a rooted device . Here's the link

I think its something to do with hardware in the s8 so i don't think it will ever be fixed on the port's (same as we dont have iris unlock on the s8 ports) the stickers work on some ports but not the snapchat like face changers animal ears etc

s9 rom port

I assume all of you know the galaxy s9 is released, and it has brought some cool features. I'm asking myself, would it be possible to port the s9 rom to s8? It would bring some nice features, like slow mo background, ar emoji(i think), intelligent scan(i think) , enhanced camera app and a lot more. Please give your opinion of that and if it would be possible to have those features on our still fantastic device! Anyone who think he can do this??

Someone will probably will once the firmware drops, nor everything can be ported though as our hardware might not support it, we'll see how things go

are there so much hardware differences? other than the back camera and the normal stuff, there aren't many things changed. Intelligent scan must be portable. maybe samsung will release it for s8 with android p, who knows?? I'm just thinking, would treble give some problems, since s9 has ot and s8 doesn't?

Stuff like intelliscan will be fine, but the s9 has extra sensors on the front aswell, but you know we have good devs, may be they'll be able to port the stuff over

it does? i didn't hear anything about that?
So far, as I know, the features S9 has is related to hardware (like, aperture changes for camera) and also sensor that makes samsung-style animoji available. So, fingers crossed.
Besides it, I think everything already got covered up on S8 & S8+.

In the latest Oreo beta for 950U (CRB8), there is actually a package called intelligentscan. I assume it will eventually be activated, if it is not already.
