No, it's not, but the majority of the APIs that apps lean on to make use of the fingerprint sensor are in Android 6.0 - there are exceptions I imagine, but the functionality the OP is asking for is baked right in the OS in Android Marshmallow.

It's true what you're stating, because fingerprint is supported natively in MM and added in lollipop by Sony. Not only that, Sony keeps the source code for the sensor closed, therefore no Dev can make use of it.
Therefore a much better answer would be:
"No, there is not any program that can make use of the sensor, however, when MM gets released for our devices we can expect such programs to use it."

In the discription it states:
This app takes full advantage of Lollipop's Camera2 API, and therefore requires it to be properly implemented in your Android ROM. If your device runs on Lollipop, and still the app is not compatible with it, please contact your ROM provider (e.g. Samsung, LG) and ask them to fully implement Camera2 API
You can see if it works on your phone with this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test
No !LG cut the camera api2 part!
Just ran the compatibility test and none of the features are compatible... too sad, hopefully LG releases the next UI with manual controls.
I hope so :fingers-crossed:, It drives me mad when I see my friend with lumia 1020 and its manual settings

G3 never get camera api2...
G4 here : = business
From what I've read in other posts the LG G3's hardware isn't even capable of being upgraded to the new Camera API 2 that was implemented on some devices recently.

Rom with always on display?

Does anyone know of a rom that has always on display? I was going to go with codename phoenix but it has been discontinued and I don't know of another one.
Omni has it. Codename Phoenix is still being built, just no dedicated support. It's rock solid loaded with features.
Also, there is a substratum theme that supports it as well.

I believe it works in all the 8.1 Roms as long as you flash the OOS Oreo firmware.
As mentioned apparently you can enable this feature on the 8.1 only.
I use Always on Amoled from the store or glance plus. They both work well.

You are alright im not developer but probably don't have the same functionality as ambient display backed in a rom. Probably if you give all the permission and accessibility probably work as we want but i don't want to give every permission to the app im. Waiting for a good rom baked but for now it's ok

[Sony] Xperia Open Devices Project

Sony Mobile is committed to supporting the open developer community, and one way to show this is by publishing parts of our code as well as selected tools developed by our internal developers.
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
If you want to build AOSP for your unlocked Xperia device, you find all the resources you need in the sections below.
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/
Unified 4.4 kernel sources
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel
Project git
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/
Bug tracker
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues
Now you can build the latest Android with the latest 4.4 kernel
Thanks for all the hard work and keeping the resources easily accessible and up-to-date. I will be using them for sure .
Thank you for providing these resources and keeping up development for the devices they support. I notice that the dynamic resolution switch in the extended settings doesn't work on android 8.0 or 8.1. Are there any plans to add support for this back in at any point?

It says here that we can change the display to native 4K at 60hz or 1080 at 120hz with your AOSP https://androplus.org/Entry/4577/
The previous comment says it's not working in 8.0 or 8.1, but I don't see an open issue about it in your bug tracker. Was it fixed?
If it wasn't available for 8.0 and 8.1, what version is it available on?
I hope los and rr now.

Is there a changelog or something like that? I had issues with these binaries and AOSP builds from last week. A few days later I noticed a commit that mentioned these new binaries, but after that the "Fingerprint" setting is gone, so I'm now using a build of 08-03-2018 with the V10 binaries.
To be honest, I haven't tried a factory reset nor flashing userdata.img, so when I get home I'll update the repo, build a new version and do a full reset.
@jerpelea why Sony remove the FM radio feature on all modern Xperia phones? Why??? The hardware capability is there. Why you cripple the phone on purpose?
Can you please give a logical explanation about this issue?
When will Sony give me back this feature?
And why Sony block the Displayport alt mode? Again you cripple the phone on purpose.
And why I cannot root my phone without losing DRM keys? How to backup my DRM keys??? Please tell me.
I am waiting for answers but my patience is slowly running out.
Thanks Sony for being so user friendly.
If Sony don't fix these issues soon I will never buy Sony products ever again and I sell my Xperia's, my Playstations, my Walkmans, my Sony TV's and all my other Sony products. And I tell all the people that I know to do the same.
It's your choice Sony.

No. Some manufacturers actually care about their users. Not all smartphone manufacturers cripple the phone on purpose the way Sony does it.

(Question) Active Edge/Squeeze gestures support for any rom.

The world of development on pixel 2 XL devices is huge, I have gotten used to turning on the flashlight by pressing the edges of my phone with AOISP rom, the problem is that I cannot change rom due to almost no developer includes the Active Edge code by Google licenses. Is there any way that I can install it through Magisk / Xposed, or anything on a rom that doesn't support it? I want to change to a rom that supports face unlock. From already thank you very much. And I thank with all my support to the developers, who do an amazing job, greetings from Argentina. :laugh:

I think the only rom that still has faceunlock and active edge is pixeldust. It's a Motorola feature that is being pulled because they put up a stink over it.
Roms with active edge are abc, dirty unicorns and aosip

PixelDust has a working ActiveEdge that you can remap to do any action that you want. I currently have it set to squeeze for screenshots.
Forgot about Bliss, it has both as well

General Sailfish OS for Xperia 10 III

Xperia 10 III is now officially supported by Sailfish OS: https://blog.jolla.com/xperia-10-iii/
From Wikipedia:
Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on free software, and open source projects such as Mer as well as including a closed source UI. The project is being developed by the Finnish company Jolla.

Anyone in here tried it yet?
I've bought my license and am trying to get this going - I've been unable to use the fastboot command to unlock the bootloader, which I assumed was due to the Android version being 12, and I'm now struggling to downgrade this to 11 as it seems all the tools for doing so are Windows only.
Has anyone done this process on Linux successfully? I understand some people on the Sailfish forums have managed to get it to flash over an Android 12 base but I can't even get to that stage because of the OEM unlock command failing.
Really looking forward to going back to Sailfish after a bit of a hiatus though!

According to its readme file, Newflasher runs on Linux too: https://github.com/munjeni/newflasher
So I think it should be possible to flash an Android 11-based firmware from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/stock-firmware-backups.4382229/ using this tool. But I never used it (neither on Windows nor on Linux) so I can't say for sure whether that works.
As for the issue with unlocking your bootloader, at the risk of stating the obvious, did you enable "OEM unlocking" in developer options?

Ha! Yes I did do all the required steps. I found an Android 11-based build on the Sailfish forums which worked, after doing it twice with Newflasher. Once this was done the OEM unlock command did its thing without a hiccup. Sailfish OS is now running nicely on the 10 III - hopefully Jolla are able to provide some more complete instructions for those who have managed to upgrade themselves into a documentation loop!
I've been using the X10III with Sailfish for several days now, and the experience is quite smooth. There is no green tint visible, but the "color space" gets really smashed and mangled in low light + low brightness situations... I think it's more or less the same bug. The best way to describe is that the dark areas of the screen are rendered with 8-bit color palette and way too high brightness. I created a bug report for it over at Sailfish OS Forum for those who wish to keep an eye on that.
There are three known issues: Camera API doesn't support the three back cameras (Camera2 API does support it, so it's very fixable), the indicator led is way too green (driver issue), and issues with noise cancellation during phone calls (seems to be fixed in git).
Despite the above, SFOS on X10III a hugely net positive! VoLTE works now - finally - so spring 2023 can now arrive (killing 3G here in Finland). 5G support is not there (yet?), which is a tiny bit unfortunate.
I didn't realize that the AOSP firmware is so far away from Android firmware... I somehow assumed before that they were the same... Oh well, live and learn.

I have a hard time understanding why it is necessary to repair a thing that is not broken?
VoLTE calls? Why? Today, almost every phone subscription includes if not all free, then at least thousands of minutes of free calls. In addition, there are available all sorts of apps that you can use for voice calling.
And in general, calling is the least used feature of the phone lately.

Why shouldn't I use what I already paid for?
But yes, phone calls are getting rarer; for me it's something between daily and weekly. But still, it's the official method to be reached, supported by pretty much every device, so why not just use it instead of apps.
Also, if I wanted to use only apps to talk with my friends, I'd have five chat apps installed, some of them analyzing me, and all of them draining my battery. No thanks...
But let's get back to topic. Does anyone know how to solve the color banding issue on AOSP?

I can't say anything about features built into the OS (as I've never used it), but I was able to find two 3rd party apps which let you limit the maximum battery charge level:
Battery Buddy | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System
openrepos.net
takimata / harbour-battery-charging-control · GitLab
SailfishOS application which allows to stop battery charging at user-defined levels.
