Hi!
Can't figure this out.
Want to unlock certain apps (Amex, Bank) via fingerprint , but don't want it for unlocking phone (just swipe is enough for me).
Is this not possible???
Thank you!!

It is possible, just download any 3rd party app locker. Most of them come with finger print support.
Not the safest option out there but Be sure to lock settings as well because someone can easily uninstall the app from app manager.
Thank you for your reply.
Maybe I did not explain myself well enough.
Some apps use the fingerprint mechanism to unlock themselves without password.
So let's say your bank app. Instead of putting the long password every time, and if the devs implemented it, you can LOGIN via fingerprint.
That's great.
The problem is that I don't see an option to disable fingerprint for unlocking the device while still using that for app login.
It works just like that on my iPhone. For some reason I either am missing something, or Android just won't allow you to do this.....

I'm getting your point. You don't want anything on your lock screen but passwords(or fingerprint) on your sensitive apps . Android doesn't natively supports it (maybe a custom ROM had this). If you can root and install Xposed (rooting can make some banking apps unusable), give max lock (Xposed module) a try. If you don't know what these are, I recommend you to rely on lockscreen (third party options aren't always safe)

Is it possible to use the fingerprint to quickly unlock apps, but no the phone? I'd prefer to use a pattern only to unlock the device.
Hey,
Check this one :

Works fine for me

I use MaxLock which allows you to unlock apps with Fingerprint. The problem is for apps like Lasptass for example. Fingerprint unlock won't work unless you also unlock the phone via fingerprint.
I use the free version of App Locker and like it. The pro version removes ads and I plan to do that eventually.
Really a great gestures app to mimic iOS gestures. I use the navigation gestures option because I could not deal with the navigation bar not matching my keyboard. The gestures work pretty well and I got used to them, but I did not like the Back option. Too many times trying to go back ended up with me opening recents or going home.
I really wanted a gesture to swipe the screen from left to right to go back and this app allows me to. Works great with a few customization options. It was removed from the playstore but the apk can still be sideloaded

Thanks for sharing. IMHO The OnePlus gestures are the best I've tried on any phone. The more options there are, the better off we are.
Thanks for sharing, I love the Swype from the left to go back feature
Hey Guys, if you wan't, you can also try an app called 'Fooview', which is available in playstore (No need Root access) and its amazing, you can set the swipe option from right to left for back in this app as well. it also comes with a browser, file manager, and allow to take screen short of any specified portion on your screen. It will also help to convert the 'letters' in an image to edit/copy. The main advantage is it work with very less battery drain and comes with small in size. this is one of the best app I have ever used. and I'm using this for the last 2 Years. Just try it, it is amazing.
It's asking for some unusual permissions like location

Never mind, Ignore it. It will work perfectly.
I found both of these apps to be scetchy and not any good.
I rather sugest the app called Fluid Navigation Gesture on play store.
It gives you the Miui10 Navigations that work great without any overlay or stuff like that.

Never ignore such permissions, it may be a malicious app.

Yea, but this will work perfectly without giving the location permission. And this app is available in play-store, which is verified by the google, then will it be a malicious app ?

You'd be surprised but there are apps that are not checked more in-depth before being accepted on Play Store

There are many apps which get through the checks. Check the news, you'll find many articles about google removing app from the play store every now and then.
Even a seemingly trustworthy app can do a lot of harm. Even if the app is a bit sketchy its better to stay away from it.

I agree. I've tried damn near all the gesture apps but I keep going back to fooview. It's like 20 apps in one with an abundance of gesture options.

I find the navbar gestures severely lacking. Swipe from left or right edge up for back? On which planet? Ever tried this swipe on Chrome with a longish text loaded? All you get is a scroll back and not back. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the directions. How difficult is it to add a graphic to illustrate?
Hi.
Is there any way to pass over the country restrictions to install and use Good Lock? I got the N975F and cannot install it from the Samsung App Store because of that.
Thanks!
This has been discussed at lenght, you can download "nice lock" and "nice lock downloader companion"
Search for it here in XDA
Nicelock has problem with Quickstar modules where disabling battery icon works but upon reboot, it will appear again. Have to manually go into nicelook -> Quickstar to disable again. Annoying. That's why I went back to goodlock using vpn tricks.

Fine Lock PRO is a waaaay better Good Lock alternative. It links you to APK Mirror, notifies about updates and even gives some really good advice, advice I'm copy-pasting here:
Fine Lock said:
To activate/deactivate NotiStar, and keep QuickStar changes after reboot, you need Good Lock installed. You can grab it from here. After installing it, you can hide Good Lock icon from the launcher. I don't know what happens behind the scene but it needs to be that way. Otherwise, it won't work.

Um..tried Fine Lock Free version from google play. Same problem with nicelock w manual hide for battery icon issue. Not gonna shell out pretty penny for the pro version since the free version doesnt work.
Hi guys,
I got a Poco X3 NFC and I hope you can help me.
I'm not on the Poco X3 NFC forum because I think this is related to the fact that I rooted my phone rather than my model.
I use an app called FreeStyle Librelink that is used to monitor my glucose level for my diabete using NFC and a sensor on my arm.
I read online that they locked the use of the app for rooted phone. (yeah, what a jerk move)
The app simply crash when I launch it. I tried to hide the root through the magisk app without success. Do you think there is a workaround for me or I have no other choice than unroot the phone ?
And I deeply hope that it's not the unlocked bootloader that is the source of the problem rather than the root itself. I have the classic method involving a drop of blood to test my sugar level but I will not give up the confort that this sensor is.
Thank you to anyone that can think of something.

You can send feedback about it. You can unroot mobile. You need to remove super user from sbin.
i had the same problem with my librelink app, the solution is open Magisk app and click Uninstall Magisk then once the device reboots, you can use the Librelink app as normal
reflash Magisk/install again with whatever modules you use
you need to uninstall Magisk each time you want to use the librelink app, hope this helps anybody
There's an easier fix that lets you keep root.
Go to magisk, shield icon, magiskhide and select librelink. Didn't need reboot.
Hi all,
My banking app does support using a fingerprint, but it will only work if I also use it on the lockscreen. However, I do not want a lock on my lockscreen (I just want to 'swipe' my lockscreen without any code or password). I'm currently rooted on OOS 11, is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Paul

There is not a banking app in this world that doesn't require either a passcode, password or fingerprint. However you do not need to enable Fingerprint in any banking app I ever used, it is optional. You do need a passcode or password for obvious reasons.
Ah I don't think I explained it well. Indeed my bank app requires a pincode for me, however I would like to use my fingerprint, but that's not possible since I don't have one set up in my phone. If I set up a fingerprint, I always need to unlock my phone with my fingerprint which I don't like. I understand and want my banking apps to ask for some kind of password of course

Yeah I just tried disabling passcode for lockscreen and it states it will remove all fingerprints as well. So it looks like the way you would like will not work. Remember you can always swipe up on lockscreen bypassing fingerprint and instead put in passcode/password. You can set up fingerprints however you do not have to use them.
