]Hi, Can someone tell if there is a fix which could be applied for fingerprint gesture without having to use 3rd party apps?

Stock ROM supports it by default.

I know. I'm using stock deodexed version. But would have flashed lineage based roms if fp gestures were works by natively. 3rd party apps are not providing much of an option.
So wanted to check, if there is a way to add/enable fp gestures to the ROM either by script or replacing lineage source file with propriarery files from Lenovo stock ROM. Forgive me if this is a stupid quarry.

Whats not the like....very feature rich and smooth....
But if your really want to change Rom, the advance way is to look in development section....many to choose from RR , CM, Mokee. All MM rom, some even got Nougat.
But if you want an easy way. Just download a launcher.
i am waiting on a bootloader unlock request via sms then i will flash CM14.

First I want to say that MIUI is too basic and I dont consider it a real rom.. thats my personal opinion.
Now there are 2 problems with your answer though I do appreciate it. First, the roms you suggest have issues, especially the camera and video recording. Second a launcher wont remove 2 I hate in MIUI which are the notification bar and task switcher.
But, I read that the task switcher in CM 14.1 is like the one in the stock rom so I may install CM. And the notification bar in MIUI is the worst I've seen. I cant believe it exists when the one in the stock rom is llight years ahead in looks and functionality.
Is it possible to replace the notification in MIUI with the one found in the stock rom? If not, can an Xposed app can do the trick?

I have used aosp and cm all my life... I personally used sony stock launcher and samsung ones also....light year behind..? I don't believe so...it just different not useless. Miui also got something other launcher dont have like second space and dual apps...like others l, need to installed separately. Rr and cm for mm is stable..if you keep up to date with the current development, youll know. Only for naugat probably some issues...if rooted your device and unlock, miui got xmiui apps for xposed to setting up miui launcher. But if you do hate miui, then RR rom is the best for now.

Hi, in my opinion there`s no any rom more appropriate that the stock, let`s clarify that rom stock for Xiaomi is Miui developed to bring all the functionality to device, actual version of miui is so complete, previous v5, 6 they lacked many functions. maybe you must explore the themes from miui to change fonts, icons, notification bar, colors and others, really nice themes (first explore, if you didn`t), besides miui launcher you can replace for any other (Nova. BB Launcher, HTC Launcher) and you must uninstall just deleting with a file explorer or with a remover app after rooting. Anyway you have others roms (custom); for me the best in MM is Mokee and for Nougat is the last build from RR. Preferences may vary.

There is a theme called Android N in MIUI theme store to change the appearance of notification shade, status bar, quick serious toggle and recents apps. BTW Resurrection Remix by Ajsmsj78 is highly recommended. The camera and video recording is working perfectly. I use open camera.

Easy, why do you buy a xiaomi phone?
Buy a nexus or whatever phone with stock rom and you will not have problems in that sense.

It's as close to stock as you can come on any phone other than Nexus/Pixel phones.
A different launcher helps. Problem is few Roms other than MIUI work on helium. Only major problem is lack of NTFS and exfat support. Might be better if bootloader is unlocked and Xiaomi.eu MIUI version installed. Over all the phone is good. Better and larger screen than my Nexus 6. Other big problem is no to poor printer support when trying to print from the phone.

Help me choose between Stock vs Custom ROM

Hi,
I'll receive my Nexus 5X tomorrow, and I don't know what to do: keep on stock, install custom rom, root, magisk ?
My needs are:
Stable and Fast
Camera with zero shutter lag
Ad Block (at least in chrome, apps/youtube would be cool)
optional: Pixel Launcher
optional: Torch shortcut on power button (or double tap or anything else)
optional: OTA
The easiest solution seems to stay on stock, install CameraNX and Pixel Launcher apk and find an app for ad blocking.
But is it possible to replace stock camera with NX, and launcher with pixel (I mean really replaced, the stock ones don't use any memory) ?
Is there an app such as samsung Package Disabler Pro?
Possible to flash a different kernel and stay on stock with OTA and no root?
If I choose custom ROM (pure nexus, pixel rom, ..), I'll loose in speed, stability and ota I guess, right?
Thanks
Hi.
My recommendation for you would be PureNexus or ABC rom. Both of which are pretty stable and fast. You can have long press power button for torch and install CameraNX. You could use Moab for adblock since it does not use any apk and simply replaces /etc/host for blocked domains. Both of which roms comes with Pixel launcher by default. Be careful while flashing GApps since Open Gapps removes Pixel launcher by default. Since i noticed that you are not familiar that much with Android OS, i wouldnt recommend you maintaining root and OTA updates /there is a way though/. There is no way for custom kernel and OTA to work Last time i checked i think that CameraNX is a stand alone package so it can be used with stock camera app. I have no experience with Pixel rom but you wont loose in speed or stability with this roms. Kind regards.
I used to be a flash junky back in the day. Frankly, unless it's a poorly written rom, you won't notice much in performance. Yeah, you could get some additional features. I've found that just rooting it gives me what I want. For ad blocking, and that's about the only thing I use root for, adaway works well. It's also very easy to update with the ota from google and flashfire.

Can you use Fingerprint Sensor to Navigate setting in the Moto app in custom ROMS?

I just bought a Z2 play today. I like the Fingerprint Sensor to Navigate setting in the included Moto app. I want to at the very least Root my phone but was thinking of a Pie ROM like Havoc or Lineage. If I get a custom ROM can I install the Moto app and use the Fingerprint Sensor Navigation? I know Pie has the pill but that still takes up some of the screen and I like having the entire screen. Or if there is another app/way to enable it.
Almost customs rom can't run Moto apps . but there are many functions in custom rom can replace them.
Fingerprint Sensor on custom rom is bester than on original rom.

Thanks very much for the info. Is there any ROM you may recommend, oreo or pie based that have the one button nav?
EDIT: Well I have a Verizon model and just realized apparently those are bootloader locked. Should have done my homework.

On android 10? Not for me.
You need Lawnchair alpha from apkmirror to make it work on Android 10

For now, i don't have any solution.
Already feedback to Xiaomi about this bug, hope we will get newest Android 10 build.
If you're rooted it works with Magisk, QuickSwitch-Module and Lawnchair alpha. Works still flawless on my A2 Lite.
- Once you're rooted and have Magisk installed, download this in Magisk Manager: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-quickswitch-universal-quickstep-t3884797
- Download and install this:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/deletescape/lawnchair/lawnchair-2-1-2616-ci-q-pre-alpha-release/
Then follow the instructions from the QuickSwitch-Thread.
If you're unrooted, gesture navigation won't work on 3rd party launchers as google doesn't allow to use their API.

Yeah the custom roms won't be as reliable with google apps as stock.

It's question of control. Some parameters, on apps are not enabled by default. but in general we have no problems to use google apps.

It's also about choice. People use custom ROMs because they have features the stock ROM generally doesn't have. I personally use the stock ROM myself, but that's my choice.
