Fingerprint and users - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How is the fingerprint sensor supposed to work with multiple users? I would assume you can just touch a registered finger and it would find the user but it seems you have to first select the user from the lock screen

Yes, this is correct behavior. I added a guest account to test this. If you want this feature, I recommend that you suggest it to the AOSP Issue Tracker.

Show lock screen when security is set up.

I just installed aokp to my S3, loving it so far.
Is there a way of showing the lock screen slide to unlock when a security method is enabled? When there is no security enabled, I have the little lock at the bottom of the lock screen and can slide it to either open the camera, Google now, or to unlock the phone. When I activate a security method, that goes away.
Thanks
Any ideas ??

i used to use aokp (ics version) on the nexus s, and the functionality was definitely there. look somewhere in rom control?
Tried that but no luck. Will mess with it a bit more.
If anybody else knows how to get it working please chime in!

It looks like it hasn't been added since Aokp JB came out. Just going to have to wait.

If I am understanding correctly you want the Swipe option then you get the Password/Pin field instead of it asking for the Password right away when you turn on the screen? If so go to Settings>Security>With swipe lock

Yes, that's what I want. It turns out this version of aokp doesn't have that option implemented. Guess will have to wait to see if it gets added in future versions.
Thanks though !

[APP][18/6/13]+Smart Lock+V1.2.4+Simple delayed PIN Lock Screen

----------------------------------------
Smart Lock V1.2.4
----------------------------------------
DOWNLOAD http://db.tt/kBtgcx6N
- PIN unlock automatic now. (No longer need to tap the tic)
-Delay timer Seconds slider
- 1.2.2 bigger PIN keypad
- improved screen state detection should use less ram and cause less battery drain.
----------------------------------------
Welcome to Smart Lock... The Security of a PIN lock and convenience of swipe combined
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
>>> #1 FEATURES & QUICK START GUIDE
----------------------------------------
The App UI is VERY simple to use:
#1 Set your PIN, screen off delay & global state.
#2 Thats it! if you turn your screen on before the set delay you get normal Android lock screen. After you get Smart Lock PIN guard immediately after.
if you forget your PIN at any time simply wipe Smart Lock app data to reset to the default PIN '0000' and chose a new one next time you launch the app.
Since the min delay is 1min, you will always be able to do this after a reboot. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to use thie app in combination with a sim PIN lock to block entry upon reboot and you are secure.
The rest is so easy i wont bother insulting your intelligence explaining it.
The lock screen this app uses is independent from Android and will appear after you unlock with any Android lock method.
----------------------------------------
>>> #2 THE CONCEPT:
----------------------------------------
The idea behind Smart Lock is to combine the convenience of the Android swipe Lock screen with the security of a protected lock screen (either pattern or PIN).
This is achieved by using a secondary independent PIN guard blocking overlay which will block access to the Android UI without a successful PIN entry.
This PIN activated system guard can be set to block access to the touch screen. A user selectable delay once the screen switches off will activate it.
Combined this with a sim lock on boot, together they will protect your phone from theft or prying eyes while AT THE SAME TIME saving you from needing to enter your PIN every time you check your phone during instant message sessions or any other sort of frequent use.
The app can easily be reverted to a default PIN by wiping the app data ANY TIME. Since the min PIN activation delay is 1 minute from Screen off there is no danger of locking yourself out of your phone since a simple reboot and app data wipe will clear a forgotten or unknown PIN...
So how can this possibly be secure I hear you ask?
Well its quite simple: With a SIM PIN in place a user will need to know this to get into Andriod after a reboot. without this Smart Lock app data can't be wiped to reset the PIN...
So you have day a 15 minute delay on Smart Lock. Your phone gets stolen and likely the Smart Lock PIN has activated by the time someone tries to use it. They then reboot the phone and your SIM block PIN prevents them getting in!! Meanwhile you are enjoying the convenience of a simple swipe lock screen most of the time not to mention Android 4.2.2 lock screen widgets!
----------------------------------------
thanks, work for 4.1.2??
Yep! Should work for a broad range of devices

Hi rlorange,
Thanks for that bright idea, finally we have a way to have widgets AND a decent security on 4.2.2 !
May I ask you if you plan to add new features to your neat app, as there is some improvement I see that would make it even better
I loved this app.
Nicely designed, the Concept behind is really amazing.
I wanna contribute to this project more.
I am Dev to if your source code is on GIT then post the link.
Hope, more devs will contribute to make life easier with high security.
Note :- I am not forcing you to post the GIT or other stuff just an suggestion if you want take it else let it flow.
Waiting for it to come on PLAY STORE or SAMSUNG STORE

Thanks! V1.1 is better! I'm going to focus on improving stability and keep it simple for now. I'm still getting the monitor fail on me and not bring the PIN up occasionally. I'll tweak the task system for now

Hi rlorange,
Same as you, sometimes v1.1 got bypassed and i've to clear app settings to get it working again.
Maybe you can try to do the same thing Go Locker do ; it takes the launcher place, and then runs the original or custom launcher, that way it get automatically called anytime the phone gets unlocked.
Hello, working good so far. Any chance of having delay time of 5 seconds or so? Thanks for great app

Another request if possible...when I set my alarm in the morning and it goes off I have to type my pin in to deactivate it...any chance of making this app run behind the clock

Wake Gestures Work Sometimes

Anyone experiencing poor performance from the double-tap to wake and other wake gestures? Thanks.
I haven't been able to get voice dial to work from say one. Sliding down while the phone is sleep just turns on the screen. Sometimes voice dilaer will show up but that's every 6 or 7 tries. Sometimes the mic will flash and then disappear.
Anyone else??
The key to the others is movement. Without enough movement of the phone prior to double tap it will not wake. Don't know if that's your issue.

Correct. I've also noticed if you move the phone while it's laying down, the gestures still work.
I was trying to post about this in a dev form for a rom I was using I had experienced it to be mostly successful. Except when I use a AOSP lock screen in my rom which I am using. (Both Viper and Insert Coin....not sure about GPE). But with AOSP Lockscreen gestures are seemingly not working at all. Am I doing something wrong or has this not been solved yet?
Works all the time for me

fingerprint recognition

What's with the fingerprint sensor? I thought it was to allow you into your phone at will. although many times I use it I still have to enter a pin. thanks

Not always.
Do you use an app or the like to turn your screen off or lock your phone?
Yes. Just tested that. Using app requires pin. Using button or letting go of itself. No pin. No way to get around this?

A little confused by your wording. What do you mean by "using app requires pin"? Using app for what?
For me, the only time it requires me to use my pattern is after a restart and after disconnecting a Bluetooth device that is listed under Smart Lock.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
For example I use a tasker gesture on the screen to lock my phone and at that point I use my fingerprint to turn on the phone but the pin screen appears so I have to enter my pin first and then it unlocks.

For what I know, only if you turn your screen off with the power button the fingerprint scanner will unlock your phone immediatly afterwards.
Then I guess the question would be what app can mimic a power button press so that I can continue using gestures and or background apps to turn off the screen? Or forego using the fingerprint scanner?

If you are rooted this is super simple with tasker...
Create a new task with whatever name you want.
Select the Code Action Category.
Select Run Shell Code Action.
In the Command input type:
Code:
input keyevent 26
Check the Use Root box.
Leave all other options untouched.
Then use that Task for your gesture. Note that at some point Tasker is going to ask for root privileges. You obviously need to grant them to it.
Enjoy...

You're overcomplicating it. See this post. You don't have to use tasker. You can use at least one widget plus launcher gestures as long as you have root, and it works.

Yep, the Tasker Task I wrote is really, really complicated. The op is going to **** a brick when he sees that he would need to use Tasker to do what he is already using Tasker to do but this time it will work.

"the basic idea is quite simple, but some people tend to overcomplicate it"
Again, the Tasker Task is as simple as they come. It would take longer for the op to download that app than make the task. And considering he is using Tasker to turn the phone off with a gesture, he would still have to create a task to run the app. That, sport, is overcomplicating it.

Google Assistant - fingerprint

Is there a way to activate Google Assistant via holding the fingerprint reader?
I don't think so...but i know while the phone is off you can say "OK, Google" to launch assistant.
Long pressing the home button activates it as well...
OK Google on screen off only works if you don't have a lock screen password though (which makes sense).
