Face unlock never works - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi there,
I have a SM-G965F with latest TWRP in place. Flashed several custom firwares like Black Pearl, The Galaxy Project, Glamour etc with strnge effects: Spectrum never seems to work (Kernel not supported although custom kernel is in place) and most importantly Face unlock not even worked once. After the message to put my face 15-20 cm close to the screen the app just tops. Dialog says Face unlock application does not work, reboot phone. What am I doing wrong? Is it related to some other thing I need to flash like specific modem / bootloader? Please advise, thanks in advance!
best,
Bob

Hi, thanks but that does not work at all! Flashed the face detection zip after installing Black Pearl Rom: Same! "Face detection application is not working. Reboot phone if the problem persists." (translated from german). Face detection app is just crashing on all roms. There must be something missing at low level.... any ideas please? Any complete rom I can flash that comes with modem etc updates?

it worked for me on note 8 or s9 rom, so just try

thanks, tried the rom but face unlock isn't even existing in the menu. Also, tried GALAXY PROJECT rom again and this time also face unlock missing in the menu I wonder what's going on. Flashing the face_unlock.zip has no or reverse effect. Flashed new bootloader, new modem, nothing. See topic: Face unlock NEVER works for me, whatever I do. WIlling to try more tho if more tips are coming up

...might it be related to CSC region? Any ideas? I am always formatting everything and trying to install as clean as possible.

thats weird I was using it, now I prefer better rom like lineageOS, which is way faster than samsung ports

wow, it works now with glamour s9+ rom (which is very good). Other things that did not before also started working. One rom must have flashed something that is needed. For the record, I also set CSC to UK (where I am NOT). Face unlock works great now without the need to flash an extra package Thank you guys for helping anways!

SGH-i337M Sound causing crashes

Hello Everyone,
For some reason, no matter what ROM I flash, each have the common issue of any sound causing crashes. This includes trying to make a phone call, listen to music, or watch a video. I am currently running on AOSP SlimRom 4.4.2 (not like this is ROM exclusive, it has happened on every ROM I have tried).
This problem occurred once I semi-bricked my phone, I flashed stock, and then re-rooted. After that, it seems as if no ROM has been fully functional. SlimRom has been wonderful and works in every aspect except the sound issue.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? If you need more information just let me know and i'll be sure to provide it.
EDIT: I also face data drops when I lock my phone (and reconnects when it unlocks), not sure if this is relevant but worth mentioning.
Thank you very much,
W.

I would redo the whole stock, root, recovery but with fresh downloads. What variant are you on?

I would really like that to be the last option before I jump into that whole process. Attached is a photo of my phone's information.
EDIT: I tried to unroot/re-root and the problems all persist.
Fixed
FIX: Flashed a new modem/hlos and it fixed the problem, thanks for the help!
Hi.. i have the same problem with the sound + he freezes and restarts. After hi restarts hi freeze after the Samsung logo when the at&t logo apears. If I shoot it down and start it he works for some time. Can anyone help me? :') and maybe give me a firmware with Romanian language? I have 4.4.2 now.
Can someone help me to flash a new modem to my s4? Maybe it will work fine after that

[Q] Where to find AOSP/CM ROM for Xiaomi Note 4G dualSIM (aka GUCCI)?

Hi,
any Idea where to find AOSP/CM ROM for Xiaomi Note 4G dualSIM (aka GUCCI)? Many ROMs here are specifically saying they are for singleSIM (aka DIOR). And others dont specify at all. I tried asking in a few threads (in about three) and Im still awaiting response, but I still want to ask here .
Any ideas, please? I would like larger phone, larger battery and dualsim but I dislike MIUI ... Thanks for any response!
PS: I found this AOSP ROM which I would like to use but first I need to know if it is for dualSIM or not:

i need to for this rom. thx
Search for gucci
Hi,
i thing its not for this device. You need to search for (phone code name) gucci, not dior! I am looking for this right now. There is cwm, but in Chinese. I found englisth cwm, but i need to test it. CM12 rom is here from this forum.
The mobile data on that CM12 rom doesn't work.
I only have one SIM but I tested on both slots and was not able to get data to work at all.
The only CM rom that I have had any mileage with is the CM11 rom by Ghostly Doctor
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636001100
There's a bit of crapware in the rom but you can open the zip and delete the apk's before flashing.
The only other issue that I have encountered after ~2 weeks of use is that the mobile data periodically disconnects and reconnects, this would normally be a deal breaker but I just cannot hack imitation iOS on the official roms to go back.

What ROM to get? (cant find a one without problems) I9505

Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks
If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.
Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.
one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!

Xiaomi Redmi 2 2014811 Best Rom?

I am currently on MIUI 7, the one just before it updates to MIUI 8. What I want to know is, what is the best possible custom rom I can flash to that will work with this device? I have Team Win Recovery 3.0.0.0 installed.
I have installed Redmi 2 2014811 for my casual user (no root or else) with this base rom : miui_HM2XWCProGlobal_V8.0.7.0.LHJMIDG_3240991baf_5.1.zip via CWM

Cool thanks, I will look up the rom. I thought about Android 6 or 7, but see those still have some major issues here and there.

Major issues?which ROM r u talking about?there are so many ROMs those are pretty stable.Only minor bugs(miui also have this)
BTW devs work very hard for these ROMs and they got nothing but our thanks and encouragement. These custom ROMs are way better in performance and customization than sluggish and heavy MIUI rom.
My phone is 8months old and this phone is still with me because of efforts of devs.
So don't be so demanding about 200% no bug and be thankful to them.

Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful. I worked on Windows Mobile roms back in the day so know what type of work goes into it. I have only started to look at custom roms today and am so completely lost, guess I chose the wrong word being major. When i said major I had camera and Gps in mind, as I saw some of those roms had issues with those. So again, no disrespect meant from my side and I apologize if It came out that way. I was just kind of hoping someone could bump me in the right direction. The last time this phone was flashed the previous owner flashed it in such a way that the sim card could not be detected, after fixing that I flashed a MIUI rom, but that was sort of the Chinese version and stuff like google services did not work properly and push notifications would not work unless you turn the phone on and go into the app. So yeah if you can point me in the right direction I will appreciate it a lot.

Video recording was a issue for Nougat based ROM but it has been fixed.And about gps, it is working fine (i like to use waze)with Marshmallow based ROM.I don't know about nougat as I didn't fully moved to nougat.I have downloaded Tesla (N) and sodamod(cm 14) today .So I will report you soon about GPS in Nougat.
Till now I have tried cm(M),RR(M),DU(M),Tesla(M),orion(M),zephyre(M),AICP(M),AOKP(M).Most of them has kept my expectation.Now I am on project-x(M).It is also suberb with almost no problem.
If you want to stick with miui based then there is also"thunder-miui" by @gkalen.
Try these ROMs and see which is suitable for you.I like to stick with cm based for C.M.T.E.
Edit:-GPS works fine in nougat.
Lollipop (5.x) - CM 12.1
Marshmallow (6.x) - MoKee
Nougat (7.x) - I only tested Suda not good for daily driver

Serious problem with Camera

Hello everyone , I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo GT-i9301i and after i flashed CM 12.1 from official cyanogenmod website my camera will not work by any fix.zip i try, could anyone help me please?Please Dont tell me the usual stuff just flash this etc etc because i tried a lot of "fixes" but none works i need an advanced solution.
\Thanks for your time :good:
Probably you flashed the fix without needing it. Wipe everything and reflash the ROM without flashing that camera fix.
Anyways, if that doesn't fix, we'll need more information in order to help you
