Does the phone have to be rooted?
Any other prerequisites?
Could you please update README.md accordingly, please?

In commit e3d0d58 I changed the unlock system to require the user to unlock the device twice in a row, so if an user tries to unlock it and randomly guesses by dragging around, the device will not unlock.

However, the UI for this isn't very nice. It would be ideal to have small circles at the bottom that indicate the progress towards unlocking, and maybe a nice huge tick that appears every time you progress.

As of eacae49, step 2 of setup introduced a feature to allow the user to set the grid size. However, on some devices it causes the need to scroll in order to reach the 'continue' button, which looks ugly.

Android 5.0 changed the way Face Unlock works -- it's no longer an unlock method, but a trustlet (a smart unlock method). What this means is that it does not have an UI anymore, so there's probably no real way to get it running properly again.

There's a chance it would be possible to revert Google's changes trivially, but even then I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to implement any fancy animations in the UI.

The commit that broke it seems to be pretty easy to revert from smali, so maybe that would be a good starting point anyway.
