InstantFaceUnlock unlocks your phone the moment your face scan is successful. Usually, once the face scan is complete, you then have to swipe up on the lock screen in order to access your phone. InstantFaceUnlock detects when the face scan is complete, and will automatically dismiss the lockscreen for you.
Imagine whenever you unlocked your phone with your fingerprint, you then also had to swipe up - that would be weird, right? For some reason, this is the way Face Unlock works. I guess its because you don't want your phone to unlock whilst you're reading notifications, but there are ways to get around that, as demonstrated by InstantFaceUnlock.
Features:
• Automatically unlock your phone after face scan is successful
• A sexy UI to help you customise
• Allow notifications to block auto-unlock, and even which *type* of notification
• Allow music controllers such as the Spotify to block auto-unlock
• 'Reveal Sensitive Notifications' that are usually hidden, as seen on iPhone X.
• Option for your device to vibrate after auto-unlocking, with customisable duration
• Option to add a delay after auto-unlocking
• Easily enable/disable
Update targets:
• Allow only specific apps to block auto-unlock
• That's all I can think of for now - head over to XDA to post your suggestions!
Important notes:
• Face unlock does not (cannot) work the first time the phone is turned on after boot. You have to first unlock your phone using conventional methods (e.g. pin code, pattern, etc), but all subsequent unlocks can be done with your face. You probably already know that.
• This only works for AOSP-like Smart Unlock. I believe there are other propitiatory face unlocking methods in non-stock ROMS, such as Samsung devices. As long as you're using Google's face unlock method, you're golden.
• InstantFaceUnlock doesn't interact with the security itself, but is simply notified once the face scan is complete. Therefore, it poses no risk to any sensitive data you may wish to keep private.
• I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device. It's a pretty simple module, there's nothing I can think of that would actually land you in trouble.
