Well friends, a Catalan company has developed a software protection mobilephone, which can block mobile and to unlock through the front chamber will make a scan of the face and if it corresponds with the default in a profile that you have to do before,
lets you access. If the lighting is not good (at night, for example) can also unlock by entering a code before you default has to adjust the profile before he commented.
I have tried it on the N70 and it works perfectly, 2 files are installed separately and only you create an icon.
Start up perfectly, you give to create new profile, you must enter a name, makes you 3 pictures of the face and then intruducir the code to dial in case of low light.
You have the option of multiple profiles, and the first to be created is the Administrator and it is impossible to erase (only uninstalling and reinstalling the application).
Theapplication is in English but understands perfectly.
The only thing missing for me to run (because I already have my profile set up and each time I want to access the application makes me face recognition and all that works right) is to make it work locks and unlocks the keypad that’s not make it though the objective of the implementation is essentially that.
Let’s see if we manage to operate between all that aspect.

I am sure all of you at some point or the other have wanted to turn of the camera/shutter sound while taking pictures or videos for a variety of reasons. While on a handful of product codes you can simply turn of the ‘Warning Tones’ from the profiles menu to silence the camera tone, on most handsets that tip doesn’t work.

Enter this exceedingly small patch (under 1KB) that you can install to get rid of the annoying sound. There is no need to ‘hack’ your phone for this to work.

* Install it and turn off the ‘Warning tones’ from the profiles menu. (If the warning tones are already set to off, then turn them on and then off).

* If the camera sound is still not off, restart the phone once.
