[Feature Request] Keeping the screen on as long as the finger is on FP sensor

Dear Devs,
Is it possible to enable a feature that keeps the screen on as long as the finger is present on the finger print sensor? In other words, the presence of finger on the finger print sensor overrides the screen on time out. This make it much easier working/reading things without the screen decreasing brightness or going off.
I have noticed that it is very easy (almost became a habit for me) to keep the finger on finger print sensor while working with Nexus 5x.
Thank you.

I'll also put my name down on this request. I like to have a very short screen timeout setting which can be annoying when trying to read an article. Having a finger on the sensor could work great as a temporary timeout override for those situations.
Thanks!

Fantastic idea, this sounds like a possible module for the xposed framework.

So what is next? How can we make sure that this gets enough attention?
Thank you,

adding to the idea i'd also like to see an option that would allow me to re-lock my phone via the sensor

I'm not sure. Typically by now a developer would step in and offer a solution if one was willing to help. Unless somebody knows a dev that could help with this?

Finger print gestures in moto z play

It is possible to activate finger print gestures in moto z play ?
i saw on YT that someone use that feature but i can't find where should i turn it on.

Here you go:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superthomaslab.fingerprintgestures

well that app have a very little functionality

I think it is a hardware limitation. The Z2 has a different scanner that is wider as well allowing the gestures to work pretty well.

[Q] Fingerprint scanner gestures

Is there any app available that can be used for custom gestures using the fingerprint scanner

Fingerprint sensor button

Hi V20 users!
One of my favorite features on the Honor 8 is that the fingerprint sensor is also a button that can be mapped to whatever you want. I've found myself very reliant on it as a flashlight toggle, and dread losing it when I get a new phone.
The V20 fingerprint sensor looks just like the Honor 8's, but I've seen no mention of a button build into it. Does it have one?
Has Honor included that feature on any of their phones since the 8/8X?
Thanks!

I don't know about flashlight, but it does support gestures on FP sensor like swipe down for notification pane, you can also use it as a shutter etc.

The Honor 8's Settings has a section called "Smart Key", where you can map apps to a Press, Double-press, and press and hold of the fingerprint button. Anything in the View 20's settings like that?

There are ony sections for "touch and hold" and "slide".
Here's a screenshot.

Moto like gestures in M51?

Hi,
I have just moved to Samsung M51 from my Moto G5S Plus device. Though i am loving M51 but i am missing my moto gestures in M51 like pick to switch on screen, shake to switch on flashlight, taking screenshots with 3 fingers and locking phone by touching the sensor again while the phone is on. Can i get these in my M51? I've tried few apps from google playstore but those are nowhere close to the features in Moto.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

I am really missing those features too. Coming from my Moto Z Play.
Best option I found so far is to configure the flashlight to left/right swipe on the lock screen. However not comparable to a simple phone chop gesture.
On the Moto Z Play I also loved that I don't even have to pick up the phone to activate the always-on screen to check the time or notifications. I just need to hover with my hand over the screen. On the M51 I can tap the screen (once to show always-on screen with time + notifications) which is "OK" but not at the same usability level as the Moto.
Since my phone usually is in a phone cradle I also preferred the front-mounted fingerprint scanner which allowed me to unlock at a fingerpress and to re-lock with immediate screen off by touching the sensor again. On the Galaxy I need to press a side-button which is less accessible.
