Hi,
yesterday I became 5x owner and I read everything about problems with unlocking with FP If you use "lock sreen app for it".
But that's not problem, since my phone is rooted and I can use one of solutions.
My question is ...
Is there any solution to use JUST fingerprint unlock, without having PIN code/pattern. Why?
If you press power button to get lock screens on and than tap on notification (SMS, email) you have to put PIN. And that's annoying.
If i use FP unlock than you came directly on home screen and in you have to open taskbar to see notification...and that's annoying too.
Or maybe same question from the other side. Is there any solution to open notification from lockscreen without PIN code/pattern, BUT with fingerprint on.
I also noticed that form ambient screen I can double tap notification, but again, PIN code/pattern ...
Thanks for help!
Even I wanna know a solution to this.

Tap the notification on the lockscreen. When the PIN entry appears, do the fingerprint thing and it will take you to the app that was making the notification. It works, but is kind of awkward.

oh jeah, i realized ... Thanks. Really awkw.
Is there no other more elegant way? I don't want the damn PIN at all.
I just want a pure stock way not to use the power button so much (not gravity screen), which is what I thought the FP was all about.
I guess I could use a really simple pattern...so it's super quick. Annoying though.
Why is it that we are still having to adapt our behaviour to technology? That is the opposite of good HUI design.
Start with No LockScreen
Use Secure Settings App to set PIN/PassWord
Set up Imprint
Use Secure Settings App to disable Pin/Password

I'd thank you, but I'v used up my thanks for today (!!). So, a cheery "thanks mate" will have to suffice.
I do wonder a few things though.
1. Does Secure Settings need root to do what you suggest? I'm not rooted.
2. The closest thing I can find is the Keyguard Disable, which is a legacy feature and presents a warning that it may make my device unstable and it therefore not recommended. Is this the correct setting for my n5x 6.0.1 April?
3. I couldn't see any obvious option in Secure Settings to set a PIN or Pass.
Thanks.
You can delete all the files with .key extension in system/data folder using file manager in TWRP. It will give you fingerprint+no pattern as you want it to be.
are there any news on this topic? Im really interested in using my fingerprint sensor without setting a pin. I tried the method with secure settings app, but I cant find an option to set a pin with the app. I also tried to find my files with .key extensions in my system/data folder but there werent such files. gururoop said I need to use file manager in TWRP to do so, I dont even know what TWRP is.
Any other ways to get this accomplished? Did you find a solution tedrogers61?
You need to be rooted to delete the files. You only need to remove /data/system/locksettings.db
hmm well okay. Im actually not so happy with rooting my device. No other chance to use imprint without setting an additional pin/passwort?
Simplest way to use set unset PIN/PASSWORD in Secure Settings is by temporarily adding a home screen shortcut (via launcher widgets/shortcuts). The process of creating the shortcut brings you to the screens for selecting the actions (Dev Admin actions). Secure Settings needs to have Device Administrator permission. Once you are set up if just delete the shortcuts. No Root required for this.
Hello there fellas,
does anyone else know how to disable the default system lockscreen completely? I have seen they way how you normally do it but that didnt work for me.
I cant post pictures here, because I am new. But imagine a picture that gives you a list with 4 options : Swipe,Pattern,PIN,Password.
I have seen on other pictures, that there should be an option called "None" to completely disable the lockscreen. Do you guys have any bugfixes for that?
Hey guys, just wanna ask.. Is there any way to reply to messages (SMS and Facebook) without unlocking phone? As you know, it is builtin feature to reply from lockscreen but you can't have any sort of lock (pin, pattern or fingerprint). So can I somehow bypass it? With rooted phone and fingerprint as lock. Thanks for the answers. Nexus 5x, LineageOS 14.1. And I am not looking for any app like FlyChat, Floatify etc, just some tweak. Thanks for any sort of help!

If you could just "bypass the lock" it would not be locked... right! Maybe it would be good to set a location where your lock screen would not be locked, like home.

There is any way to enable screen pinning option? Like with QuickShortcutMaker
Thanks in advance
Edit: solved... it was on settings/biometrics
Hi, i have Real me 3 mobile. I don't want to show my notification content on lock screen. I know there is an option "Hide content while display" in each app but the problem is that this option is Disable and not enabling.
This is really disturbing, i have tried many time. I have restart my phone but nothing happened. Kindly tell me why is that option is disable? And how to enable it?
Please reply soon. Thank you.
