Can't use fingerprint sensor as home button in LineageOS, although the feature exists in the stock ROM. Does this problem exist just with my device or are others facing it, too? Any solution for this?
PS - I have a OnePlus 2
I use the finger print hard button for my home by using Nova Launcher.

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?

So I'm happily using the AOSP Extended rom however this rom doesn't have the fingerprint gestures.
I've searched the whole play store trying to find an app that can use the fingerprint scanner to get the gestures back, however I couldn't find any app that supports holding the fingerprint for showing recent apps.
Does anyone have any other idea to get the fingerprint gestures back on this custom rom?

Thanks, do you by a chance know another app that does support holding to show recents?
I tried many FP Sensor apps. Few provide a long press gesture but none of them are working properly - only single and double tab.

hi, i've been using gestures since i buy this phone, but i have this problem that i can't unpin screen, cause it says "press and hold home and the power button at the same time"... is there a way to do this with gestures? i know it may be stupid ahaha but i can't find a way, thanks in advance.
Can't unpin app when using guesture navigation.
I am using a Huawei Mate 20 Pro, using gesture navigation, and I have found that to unpin an app you have to swipe from the side, as if you were going back, but hold it instead of releasing it. Then it will take you to the lock screen. Hope this helps.
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.
