How to Enable Face Unlock on the Xiaomi Redmi 4X
"we are now able to enable this face unlock feature on the Redmi 4X thanks to a flashable ZIP file in TWRP. So far, it has been tested and shown to be working on the Redmi 4/4X running this version of MIUI 9 and shubhandu has ported it to the Redmi Note 4 as well."
If you’re running version 9.2.5.0 of the MIUI 9 Global Stable ROM on the Xiaomi Redmi 4X, then you have likely noticed that it doesn’t have the Face Unlock feature available.
This is a feature we recently saw announced with the launch of the Redmi Note 5 Pro (and many other Android devices as of late).
Here is the procedure-
1. Download the zip file (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569956831)
2. Flash it using TWRP Recovery.
No need to clear any cache
3. Reboot.
