Hey everyone,
I would like to ask if one can still use the "double swipe down" to quickly launch the camera even if the fingerprint scanner lock is activated?
Thank you very much for the tip!
Yes to all of them, but to view the photo and to go past the lock screen will require your print.

I like the stock ui feature of turning the screen off by double tapping. Does anyone know how to enable this feature under99th the nova ui, or a similar ui that has this feature..

I'm using Nova, and the double tap works by tapping on the Status Bar.
Install the following app and configure the double tap in nova gesture to open it.

I made double tap activate my greenify+lock screen as an alternative

This works great thx
News:
Now Nova (prime of course) offers the knock off feature without any other app needed.
Look on gestures!

I'm trying this functionality.
I've smart lock with my smartwatch and I double tap to let the screen off when I double tap to turn it on it will ask me for pin.
Instead if I wait for time to screen off, when I double tap to let the screen on smart lock works.
Strange, I will write this to Nova...
Hi,
Is there any way/app to use fingerprint sensor as a shortcut launcher?
For example, double press fingerprint to launch camera....etc
Thanks,
Jack

That would be interesting, but you do know double pressing the power button is the camera shortcut

I do know that but power button is a lot harder to press than fingerprint sensor....
Don't you feel that?
cool idea but would probably cause a lot of unintended triggering

This would be awesome. Huawei is doing something like this, I believe, a swipe down on the fingerprint reader will bring down notification. I like the idea of a double tap or swipe to launch camera. or any shortcut. You could even get advance with it and do tap patterns for multiple shortcuts.
I could see devs interested in this being a feature in their Roms. I do not believe false reads will be an issue for a scan of the finger should still be required. Randomly touching the sensor with your skin should not activate it.
Fingerprint has so much potential for many uses but so far I feel the big sensor is wasting a lot of space on our phone and only thing it does is unlock.
I have wear so if Google allows smart unlock to skip lock screen, I don't even use fingerprint sensor at all.
It'd be really cool if they let you use it as a mini-trackpad. Imagine scrolling up and down a page without touching the screen.

This is even more interesting.
The funny thing is those sensors allow that kind of feature, they call it navigation mode.
However it appears that this mode is not enabled.
hi, the fingerprint in the oneplus 3 its very fast but i download some apps to lock apps but the problem with the fingerprint its a capacitive button in this case its home soo when i want to unlock an app wont unlock because send me to the home screen and the only way its to disable the capacitive buttons and switch onscreen buttons

Try this app : Applock- Fingerprint
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free&hl=en
The above mentioned app by IlD4nX is also gud....But it opens the fingerprint screen if the app u have locked recieves a notification....
For ex if whatsapp is locked...It will open fingerprint screen if u receive whatsapp message even if u r in other apps....
A solution will be to use on screen home/back/recent, than the capacitive home button will work just like fingerprint reader.

Best fingerprint app lock one plus 3 with no delay in locking
Hi Guys,
This is only best app lock for one plus which locks app with no delay. I have tried each and every app lock available in playstore for one plus 3 but all have same issue. App lock happens with delay and first app screen is shown then fingerprint lock screen appears which is very bad.
Sharing link of the best fingerprint app lock for one plus 3
Search this in playstore - AppLock - Fingerprint - (sorry i m new user so xda not allowing me to post url)
There are many apps with fingerprint support. Which one is the best and fast?

Hi all,
I moved from oneplus 5 to 5t and the lack of hardware buttons is really bothering me. I don't like the software buttons at all. So is there a way to make gestures for the fingerprint sensor ( like swipe down for notification bar). For example double tap to go to home screen and swipe left/right for back/forward.
It's already there, the swipe down for notifications, controlled by the finger print sensor.

Yes I know that but I am asking for double tap or hold or swipe left or right. And maybe change the swipe down to something else then notifications.

It requires FingerprintGestureController API which is only available in Android Oreo
https://developer.android.com/refer...lityservice/FingerprintGestureController.html
I would like to see 'long-touch to take a photo' gesture work in every app that takes photos, like 3rd party cameras, messenger, snapchat etc.
Anyone knows where can we suggest/request this? Is this even possible?
Hi, I'm asking here instead of opening a new thread. I'm not an expert but I managed to get what I wanted after hard reasearch, but I don't want to spend hours before knowing it can be done or not.
I see that OP5t can open notification with swipe down on the fingerprint scanner or take a photo when holding the finger on the scanner. And this works without me having to register my fingerprint. What I'd like to achieve is using swipe on fingerprint sensor for scrolling content (a chrome page or other apps, like ebook reader) without registering my fingerprint. This is because I really don't use fingerprint at all (I actually never lock my phone in any way) yet I'd like to use the fingerprint scanner as long it is there (it's completely useless for me, right now).
I couldn't find anyone who did this and I don't want to spend hours learning how to do all of this and then find out it can't be done as I want. I even got tasker but can't find a "fingerprint swipe" variable. I saw several apps for fingerprint scanner gestures but: 1. they don't let me "scroll" pages and 2.they all ask for registering my fingerprint.
Summing up: I want to know whether you can add gestures to the fingerprint scanner. Is it possible without registering my fingerprint? If so, is it possible to assign swiping "scroll" as gesture?

Hey absolute85!

I use this app for fingerprint gestures. It doesn't have a lot of support, probably abandoned, but gets the job done. The only bugs I have is the slight lag for single swipe actions when you enable double swipe gestures but that too is understandable because the app is waiting to see if there's a second swipe. I haven't really tried it without registering a fingerprint but it shouldn't have an issue. Might be worth shot!

Thank you for your answer. Yes, that's very close to what I'm looking for. However I should buy the pro version, but I'd like to know if you can give some feedback about that. Using "swipe on screen" commands performs a swipe starting from the edge. So, for instance, when it performs "swipe screen down" it opens notification panel. I see there's "scroll", but I'd like to be sure that it works properly before purchasing it. Moreover it would be nice if it is sensitive so that if I swipe halfway it scrolls less than if I swiped all the way down with my finger (I hope you understood). Anyway it's already useful, I can use it at least on my e-reader up with swipe left and right on the scanner, thanks.

I don't really use those PRO features so never found the need to upgrade. Although had the dev been more active I might have just done it to support him. You can always buy it and if not useful claim a refund no? I think that policy extends to this. I'm not sure though. Glad I could help!
Thanks. Anyway I noticed that after installing it I had a change on chrome. When I open new tabs I see them as a list instead of little windows (like the multitasking for apps). When I uninstall it, everything goes back as before. Is there any setting in chrome to restore?
Hello everyone, I bought a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite recently and I'm missing an option. I wish I could lock the screen using fingerprint. just like I use to block. Are there any ways to do that?
I thank everyone.
Nope, only for unlock and slidedown gesture
this or double tap to lock would be perfect functions
Maybe it is a lousy advice, but try Nova launcher. You can use an option to lock screen on long press of main screen button - I'm using it right now it's quite useful.
