Fingerprint scanner not working in stock rom - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i got the fingerprint problem and as far as I can tell it must be a software problem, because the scanner works fine in all the non stock Roms such as linageos.
- when i try to use the scanner it says "fingerprint hardware not available"
I want to go back to the stock Rom because of battery life.
Anyone that has Found a solution yet?

Hi.
What room did you install?

i'm not quite sure what you mean by "compilation" but i have tried loads of stock roms both 6.0.1 and 7.1.1.
The AOSP roms are the ones with a working fingerprint scanner, both Mokee and Linage works flawless in that aspect, but the battery life on those aren't nearly as good.

I think once you are rooted/unlock boot-loader, the fingerprint sensor will be out of wack. I think what the previous poster meant was if you saved DRM files. so you didnt lose any sony stuff..

If the bootloader is unlocked, this is another problem causing from WIDEVINE, a DRM feature. I'm not sure renaming widevine files to .bak will help removing this problem, since I don't use the fingerprint. But be my guest.

Fingerprint scanner not working

I am facing this wired issue where my fingerprint scanner is not working even though my phone is encrypted. I have tried multiple roms since this issue had started but it hasn't helped me yet. Hope someone helps?. thanks for reading
I have the same issue I just switched ROMs as usual but this time my fingerprint scanner didn't work I'm on latest resurrection remix 8.1 rom
I have the same issue too. I reinstalled the latest stock Lenovo Rom and the fingerprint sensor started to work again. Unfortunately It stopped working while I was recording my fingerprint for the device locking. With a reboot the sensor restarted to work but now always stop responding after a couple of minutes. Rebooting the phone is the only (temporary) solution. It's not a software problem but (in my case) an hardware problem!
I have to live without fingerprint sensor.
Now i have this issue which my fingerprint seems that it only work on stock rom only and don't work on any other custom rom and that is not norma i used to work on RR 8.1 for two month without any issue it happened when i went for miui pro port rom and was working fine in it and broken when i got back to RR 8.1 again and worked again when i flashed stock rom deodexed so it's only work perfect on stock rom only can any one help me with that ?

Android stock ambient display on Oreo?

Hello guys,
I am on stock Oreo, is it possible please to get somehow the stock ambient display instead of Moto display? I have read that on some phones disabling moto app will bring back ambient display, but it didnt work out for me.
Thank you for your answers

I don't think that there's a way to have stock ambient display with StockROM by Motorola. However, most of the CustomROMs have this ability.

Each CustomROM that I tried had some bugs. Unfortunately, all of them had slightly disorted sound during a call in comparison with StockROM. However, these ones (mentioned below) are the best in my opinion:
7.0 - debloated stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/rom-debloated-optimized-t3722396
7.1.2 - LineageOS 14.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/7-1-x-lineageos-14-1-moto-g5-t3611973
I would recommend you to use this build of LOS 14.1, if you are interested https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GO7i7h1QQcD8oY3uUBr4a2u1gJzlRkzk/view. I faced a huge problem - apps like Snapchat, Instagram or Messenger started to freeze and force close randomly, but only with august 2018 build (the latest one). Reboot didn't help at all, reinstall of LOS or crashing apps fixed problem just temporarily. Flashing build from june 2018 (link mentioned in this paragraph) seems to be a permanent fix.
If you are running stock Oreo, you have to downgrade to Nougat first. Otherwise, your fingerprint scanner will not work with any Nougat based CustomROM (idk about Oreo ones ). How to downgrade a Moto device without getting hardbrick? It's simple - make sure, yours device's bootlaoder is properly unlocked. Then, flash everything except gpt and bootloader to avoid hardbrick while downgrading. Running "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2" commands wipes IMEI, so exclude them also.
8.1.0 - AOSPExtended 5.4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/rom-aospextended-5-0-t3710925 with Alize v10 kernel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W9s2Wd52buDLglqOX2cEsgHTD0qWFHbv/view.
I have already tried this combination and there was no problem while taking photos and recording videos using Footej Camera.
If you decide to try this ROM with gapps installed alongside, follow this tutorial before the first boot https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/how-to-repair-bootloop-oreo-roms-t3791189. Otherwise, your phone will be stuck in bootloop.
Thank you for your comprehensive guide to custom roms
It's shame there isnt any custom rom with everything working fine. I think I will go back to Lineage 14.1 and then buy a new phone. Motos arent the same since Lenovo took them.

Fingerprint sensor not accurate at all in miui.

Hi everyone
I searched QA and wasn't able to find same problem..
I'm back from Los via flashing full room by mi flasher and finger print does not work.
I can register finger print and and it's no accurate at all unless I revert back to aosp.
Does anyone had the same problem or by any chance find any solution?
I have already tested battery drain solution and fp calibration methods..
Thank you.
I'm on miui 10.0.1 EU and have the same issue. Sometimes I have to try multiple times for it to recognize the fp. Apparently it's an issue with miui 10 itself, hope someone here confirm it.
In my experience the problem is with pocket-mode, the fingerprint-reader is turned on inside your pocket and when the fingerprint-reader hits your leg and incorrectly, register this as an invalid, unlock, after 3 unsuccessful unlock-attempts it instead asks for lock-screenpassword.
On MIUI 10. 8.10.25 it works much better again (not sure if it's completely fixed but)

Well i can assure you it has nothing to do with miui 10
I reverted back to 9.x and same issue exists.
I changed multiple roms including miui custums and aosp based. I flashed persist. Img and tried multiple calibration methods and nothing changed so far and problem exists.

something similar happend to me with miui 9.5, all i had to do was to downgrade to miui 8 and install (via .apk) the fingerprint calibrator (something along those lines) it is only for the TCP? FCP? i dont remember exactly but it doesnt work for the goodix sensor, AND VOILA, i am now on miui10 with no problems on fingerprint (the only thing i am afraid is the arp in miui10 :/ )

Did you downgraded to MIUI 8, used the app to calibrate the FP Sensor and then Upgraded to MIUI 10 Over OTA, or installed the rom tru Recovery? TY!

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.

Development [ROM][13][ENCRYPTION] Official LineageOS 20 for A72

Link to original thread: A52 4G forum
Updated to Lineage 19.0!
Hey man! Everything is working great as far as I can see right now. Only one big drawback is the fingerprint scanner not working on Galaxy A72. It's not that it's registered and then it's failing. You can't even register it sadly.
Any fixes soon? Or is there a workaround which I am supposed to do, that I don't know about?
Thanks!

Sorry, sadly I only own A52 which makes it really hard for me to fix it on A72.

There are some suggestions.
Google Camera does not start, crashes. On GSI it helped to turn on the vendor Q.
In the screen settings, can you add a graph of picture saturation settings?
And is it possible to add a system backup to Lineage Recovery?

1. Which version of GCam? BSG works fine for me.
2 & 3: No, such features don't exist.

Is it by any chance due to the rise kernel?

No, it shouldn't be related to the kernel.

Of course it's a pity lineage recovery won't have a backup function, it's inconvenient to flash twrp every time.
And the colour saturation setting as on oneui is missing. I don't understand why you chose LOs, there's nothing in it at all, you can't even choose colours in styles. I was sitting on GSI 12A CrDroid before your firmware, great firmware in terms of customization. Never used google services. Never used google services.
Unfortunately when upgrading to GSI v402 the phone is extremely hard to start. About 8 times on reboot out of 10, 8 times caught bootloop. And this is on any v402 firmware.
In any case your firmware is better, even without having to patch separately the boot for magisk in order to run it on 12A GSI

If you're unhappy with lineage feel free to build any other ROM on your own, the device trees are all on my Github.
friend! please don't stop developing this system, it's the best I could find for me a72, as soon as I can I'll send support through paypal

No. As the thread says, this is exclusively for A52 4G and A72.

Yes, it is.
tried this rom its quite unstable loads of issues, still its the only rom at the moment. I reverted to stock.
Ok this was posted in haste and a bit in irritation what I meant is simply this is not useable as stable rom,
Its unstable and has issues. This is not meant as a revieuw or judgement of said rom. Its the first and currently only one avalible and kudo's to the creator. Its listed as development. Its just a quick feedback for those like me that just like to know if its stable or not.

Would you mind telling me about the issues you experienced?
From my point of view (and from what others told me) it runs pretty stable and mostly bugless on both A52 and A72.
I have it running for weeks now as second device. Only real issue is fingerprint sensor and camera, could not find any gcam mod that would work properly. Apart for it - runs stable.

Sorry Muyst have missed this,
Also edited initial post cause it was imho blunt and to negative. Sorry about that I have nothing but respect for mod creators.
I din't extensivly test but:
Vingerprint reader but this was known.
I had some screen issues (swiping up from bottem wouln't work so couln't close apps.
pixel launcher kept crashing (yes this might not be rom related but nova launcher also had issues)
General instability possibly all related to screen.
There where some other issues but as said my intention was not to extensivly screen it the above combined with the other small issues made me decide to remove it again.
I was using lineage os 19 in my Samsung Galaxy A72. It's better than pixel plus ui rom. It has 90hz screen refresh rate. But this rom has the following bugs also:
1. Proximity sensor not working at all;
2.Fingerprint or face unlock not working;
3. No safety net pass.
