I think it may have to do with the optional script in the symlinked Gapps. We didn't have camera when I made them so the optional stuff never got tested. I'll look in to it.
My gapps version is 04-29-13
I don't know if I have an outdate/updated version, haven't checked. It's the Gapps for sure, with GNow+regular Gapps, I do get the face unlock. But with Symlinked I do not. I think it has to do with Gapps, I'm so sure it's actually scary. GNow is not the problem.
Guess we gotta put a warning label on the Symlinked gapps for now, saying that it will break the Face Unlock feature.
Also it's not tablet mode/phone mode, tried both. DPI isn't the issue either, tried that also.
I don't think it stems from Google Now, I used M7 with CM9 and Face Unlock was present, switched to lennyv4 and it was still there.
I've only used the symlinked Gapps with PA (and only used the regular with CM9); I don't think I've ever seen Face Unlock in my PA security settings. I assumed it was the Rom, but that's ruled out now of course.
I think Bsydz is on the right track, as always![]()
I was having the same problem with the Face unlock using the other Gapps, (face unlock cannot start) then I tried using symlinked-gapps-ics-20120429-signed and BSydz ROM now it work like a charm.
BSydz, thank you for the ROM
Guys, Guys, Guys... the facelock issue is because of the intall-optional.sh in ver2 symlinked Gapps, as I already stated.
Thanks for the detailed feedback.I just have to say WOW, after testing the April 19th version I was planning to go back to MTDEV-CM7.
But the May 6th version is LOADS better and I'm going to keep it as my daily driver for a while.
I installed in the following manner:
1. Reboot to recovery (CWM 5.5.0.4)
2. Wipe system, cache, data, dalvik, sd-ext, battery
3. Install ROM (May 6 2013 version)
4. Install Gapps (no symlinks, no GNOW, JUST apps)
5. Reboot and setup apps and Google accounts.
6. Reboot to Recovery
7. Installed the BSydz-PA-Stock-CM9-Mode-Changer.zip (forgot to do at step 5)
It is very stable and usable, including the following tested items, tweak free:
It's been up for nearly 24 hours now without random crash/rebooting.
-Front and rear camera both work. PANORAMA also works: Skype crashes.
-Wi-Fi works: occasional disconnects, but reconnects fine.
-Battery life is decent: I got a day of average use out of it.
-Internal GPS works: installed fasterGPS and GPS Status for assist
Tested it with Google Maps and My Tracks and it is functional.
BUT locking sucks, to the point of being virtually unusable.
I've previously accepted that the Triumph is not a stable GPS device.
-Bluetooth works: External GPS works flawlessly with my paired Qstars 818XT
-Scrolling and selections are fairly smooth and fast, not quite perfect.
-I had GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G all on at the same time STABLE!
-Headphones work: tested with Pandora.
-Text is clear and legible: the garbled text problem seems to be gone.
-Phone works: LOL, had to test it.
-Proximity Sensor works: Auto-brightness works, in call dim works.
-Netflix works: I know people care.
-Swype works: They finally released it to the Appstore, WOOT!
-Virgin Mobile Minutes works: Check this app out, $25 is why we use Triumph.
Negatives?:
- Touch screen is not quite 100% responsive: still way better than last beta.
occasionally have to touch items two or three times to register.
- Default screen fonts are too small: install the Mode_Changer.
- Internal GPS sucks: Higher value to me than video recording.
- No Video Recording: it loads, just doesn't start when you click it.
- Face-Lock did not work: "Face Unlock couldn't start"
- Wi-Fi disconnected a couple times, once with Skype, once with Netflix.
- Skype failing: not sure if system or App related.
For me stability, phone, 3G/Wi-Fi, Camera are good enough for daily use.
touch performance, GPS and Video record would be the only things that could be readily improved to make this a no-brainer ROM. I say give it a go.
Bsydz: THANKS for this ROM, best new work I've seen in a year.
I noted that Verizon released official ICS 4.0.4 for the HTC Thunderbolt ADR6400L
... Is that where a lot of these recent Triumph ROM updates are getting pulled from?
Maybe, I just haven't given it much thought. I started PA, just so I could get more familiar with ICS and try to start fresh, since our CM9 has had sooooo many hands in the jar.Hey Bsyds, just a question, no rudeness or ETA's involved. Do you ever plan on making an AOKP ROM for this phone? You've done such a beautiful job here, and IMHO AOKP dominates the heck out of PAC, PA, and CM9.
Yes. A big THANKS for all the feedbackLook on the bright side, at least you've got a ton of happy testers on your side!
Yes. A big THANKS for all the feedback
gps not working :-(
How is everybody getting face unlock? I can't see it in the settings. I get all the other options, but not face unlock.
I was having the same problem with the Face unlock using the other Gapps, (face unlock cannot start) then I tried using symlinked-gapps-ics-20120429-signed and BSydz ROM now it work like a charm.
BSydz, thank you for the ROM
Guys, Guys, Guys... the facelock issue is because of the intall-optional.sh in ver2 symlinked Gapps, as I already stated...
While testing I found that there is not enough space on /system for even the regular Gapps, by like a MB or two. Facelock would open but not work so I looked and there was 2 MB free on system and system/vendor/pittpatt was a couple MB less that what it should be. Pittpatt is were the facelock stuff is stored. CM9 is lighter than this ROM so regular Gapps shouldn't be an issue with that. I have fixed the syminked Gapps now, just find the link in the OP, or it just got bumped when I updated it, so it should be at the top of the forum for a minute.How is everybody getting face unlock? I can't see it in the settings. I get all the other options, but not face unlock.
Symlinked Gapps is now updated, I fixed the facelock issue. Details above and in the symlinked Gapps thread.Try switching Gapps, ver2 is causing the issue.
Does anyone else find this a bit creepy of Google?Long story short Facelock requires you to log in to an account, to even show up in lockscreen options.
GPS is working for me, however it took 10 minutes to get a lock, which I suppose is essentially the same as not working
Been using the May 6 build for a few days and I really like the overall performance! I still am noticing a touchscreen issue. I have to hit the icon a few times to get the app to start. But, I notice that if you push just a bit to the left of the icon, it seems to work better. Almost like the screen calibration is off. Is there a place in the settings to calibrate the touchscreen? I thought that option was available to us before, I could be wrong.
Thanks!!!

I found this, and used it on my dev phone, dunno if it really did anything, but didn't seem to hurt.
