Custom ROM Makes ICS Face Unlock Available to Nexus S Users

By Kevin Krause December 26, 2011

What’s better than unlocking your phone with your finger? Unlocking your phone with your FACE. And now even the Nexus S will drop its lockscreen at the sight of your beautiful face. A custom ROM is necessary (of course), but the best Galaxy Nexus party trick is available for both the GSM Nexus S and the Nexus S 4G. The available ROMs are based off of the Android 4.0.3 AOSP release and the installation journey begins at the source link below. Don’t call it a gimmick, it’s the future!

Don’t understand why the Nexus S has this on a CUSTOM rom…The Galaxy S II has it by default on their official leaked roms

ICS on the Nexus S doesn’t have face unlock?

I’m hoping this feature makes it to more devices, it’s not like the carriers can block this app…
