Lineage 17.1: Cannot lock using finger print - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

Hi,
ever since my upgrade from stock rom to lineage 17.1, I no longer can lock my phone using the fingerprint sensor.
I also cannot find the setting to enable that feature.
What data can I provide to trouble shoot this?
My z2 force is a XT1789-06.
Thanks,
Martin

We can't support it in lineage, we have no native interface for this on Lineage, and no way to differentiate the keycode,

It's worth to add that you can lock phone by tapping 2x on status bar in original Lineage launcher. And in Nova Launcher you have option to lock by tapping 2x anywhere on empty place on the screen.

[Q] Gesture apps - Why home gesture dont work?

Hi to all!
I'm experiencing a really strange thing when try to set an HOME gesture with some of most famous apps for that purpose, like ALL IN ONE GESTURES, EDGE GESTURES and similar.
If I set recent apps and back gesture, they work in every way I set them...but if I try to set ANY KIND of gesture for returning to home... nothing happens.
The command work properly (I feel the haptic vibration, or alinz, that starts when a command is performed), but the gesture won't work in the end...
Anyone noticed that too? Maybe there's something I missed for make them work?
I use swipe up from bottom border and it works for me. I use aio.

I didn't find the cause yet but it is also happening to me. If I reboot the phone the home gesture starts to work fine, it only breaks if I re-enabled the nav bar + disable immersive mode using their quick tiles provided by joneplustools and systemuituner. The easiest solution is to reboot the phone.
Well but are you rooted?
Because I can disable navbar but on home screen it'll be always there, so I can't use bottom gestures, only edge...

Right now I'm rooted, yes.
Without root the navbar always shows if you swipe from the bottom. You could try a 0px navbar by I think it doesn't work in OOS at the moment.

I already have the 0pt navbar and used successfully on S8 but with OnePlus it just don't works, I suppose because the navbar is named "drawable" in OnePlus internals while in APK it's "navbar", at least I've read it on multiple sources...

Yeah that must be the reason.
If you don't want to root right now your solution is to use a gesture app like edge gestures or swipe navigation because you can use gestures from the right/left edge so you activate the navbar less often.
It's not ideal but is has one advantage; for example when I want to close a game using the back button, the gesture sometimes is not recognized and I have to activate the navbar using the quick setting and that sometimes breaks the home gesture like we discussed yesterday so I have to reboot the phone sometimes. You only have to swipe from the bottom and it's all fine.

Yeah...but the fact that navbar is permanent in home screen no matter if you choose to hide it or not is really disappointing...

According to my experience this kind of problem is most likely caused by a third party app, possibly an xposed module or some half baked apk. Privately exchange a list of your installed apps, compare and concentrate on the more dubious apps you have in common and you may find your culprit there.

Well I don't have any X module since I'm not rooted, apps installed I don't know but I doubt it because are the same apps that was in S8 before, so I don't think that an app can interfere with the 0pt navbar functions...

Yeah that's the main gripe. I suppose you are concerned about burn-in.
I don't know if stock OOS Oreo will fix that. Maybe some Dev can mod the navbar file as I was done with the old filetype as in the Galaxy S8.
I also can tell you that on LiquidRemix 8.0 ( it's on a Telegram group as is in testing stage ) you could hide the navbar completely without root but I understand that you don't want to change the rom and right now is has bugs so is better to stay in Oxygen.
Right now I'm using stock OOS 4.7.4 with root and to update is super easy, just download and flash the full zip, flash your kernel + magisk/superSu after and it's done.
I don't know if you care about Android Pay...

I can tell you that on a fresh installed OOS 4.7.4 without third party apps it doesn't work. The problem is that on Oxygen the navbar has another name in system so that mod doesn't work.
No I don't care about it because there's no need for it now, at least for me.
I've always rooted phones, no problems with that, it's just that I don't feel the need to do it with 5T since is nearly stock and good to run stock "as is"...

full screen gestures

I've enabled full screen gestures and I'm using Google keyboard with swipe.
Afkomst every time I start with the letter p, I'm using the back feature. Quite annoying.
Anyone experiencing the same and has a possible solution?

Xposed + Gravity Box + Enable Pie Control, then just configure the trigger edges the way you like.
Works so much better than the gesture control.

What version of miui

I recommend Edge gestures from the play store.

I've had some bad experiences with Xposed lately, phone froze for over a minute after receiving a call. I think Xposed and GB are a bit overkill for this. But thanks anyway for your suggestion.

Look into LMT launcher then.
Unlike it's name it actually isn't a launcher but a very minimalistic open implementation of Pie controls.
It requires root to function properly but at least no Xposed is involved.

I might try that. But the choice is between either on screen buttons or gestures in Miui. How do I disable gestures in Miui without having the buttons?

Thing is that I don't want the on screen buttons and I do want MIUI full screen gestures. I guess that's not possible, in MIUI it's one or the other. I'll have to live with that or use another launcher. Minor issue, since the phone is working excellent!
Yeah for that your only options at the moment are either to run the unofficial RR build with Arasthel's gestures baked in or Xposed plus Xposed Edge module.
The next best thing you could go for other than that would be XDA's gestures application, but that one simulates the gestures as found on the iPhone / OnePlus devices, so they work a bit differently (the back gesture works differently).
You can edit your buildprop to tell your phone you have hardware keys. It will then remove the navbar for you. You can then use edge gestures, Swipe navigation etc.

Easy if your are using magisk.
1.- Disable gestures.
2.- Install "Hide navigation bar" magisk module.
Best regards.
Or disable them via a adb setprop command without requiring root, etc.

Where i can find the RR rom with miui gestures
Andy Yan's thread. It's a collection of roms he compiles.
Make gboard smaller by entering one hand mode, then relocate keyboard in the middle. I use this with Huawei Mate 10 Pro and it's the only way I can still use the full screen gestures and enjoy the experience.

GESTURES

Is there any custom ROM that have the gestures like stock miui?
There are roms that have gestures, but they work without these beautiful animations, for example when you go home there is no such thing as moving app upwards and minimizing to icon, when you swipe up it just close the app just like with navbar. Not sure how it works on Flyme Os, but on Flyme Os 6.8 I believe, there are implemented gestures from MIUI, but trust me, it's not as smooth and nice as on stock MIUI. Maybe on Flyme Os 7.0+ are better gestures, but when I was looking for this version, there was nothing for Mi Mix 2
Install and configure this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures
Disable navbar.
I'm using Gesture Control which works really nicely, I've got it setup to match MIUI's implementation: swipe up from the bottom for home, in from the right for back, and in from the left for switching to the most previously used app.

Thx for the reply, I will stay in MIUI , I don't see a big improvement by switching to custom ROMs.

Yeah, MIUI is just one of the best UIs and I really don't think there's a need to change to custom software, unless Android Pie, but that's just because it's kinda new and fresh

Swipe down home screen for notification panel Tweak?

Is there a tweak or something else so that I can swipe down on home screen to open the notification panel?
Miss that from OnePlus OOS.

Yes. Get a new launcher like Nova and enable gestures
using Nova to make that happen
wish we had double tap to wake too
Would like to stay with Pixel Launcher.
Any possibility with this Launcher?

Probably closest thing you'll get with stock is to enable the gesture to swipe down on the fingerprint scanner.
Might have to look to rooting to do it on screen.

Why not Nova. What is keeping you on pixel. Nova has so much more to offer

Lawnchair launcher is probably the closest thing to stock that you'll gain this functionality with. Plus, it offers to disable the top shadow, which causes black/dark wallpapers to produce gray/distorted lines around the status bar on the stock launcher (and you can't disable it).
Before anyone tells me my device is defective, please try it out for yourself. Just apply the pitch black or gray wallpaper from the wallpaper picker and turn your brightness up. You'll see it.

Pull down the notification bar from anywhere on the screen?

Hi, have a rooted phone!
And i haven't yet found solution to enable pull down notification panel option from anywhere on screen.
I am able to enable this option by installing Nova launcher and similar apps.
But i am looking for other ways, like modules, guide or something else.
Thanks. Whish you all the best
Shouldn't the notification panel already can pull down from any screen already?
Or I misunderstood notification panel?

yeah this seems like a way to go for you
Tried the gestures with 2 and 3 fingers and on Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite they don't work.
Checked Google and Pixel launcher is the only stock launcher that can do it stock... at least from the first page of Google results.
I have this function on Resurrection Remix rom on another phone, but I mostly find it annoying. It's a better option to use the fingerprint to open notifications.
It looks like OP solved the issue just for the record also Lawnchair and Poco launchers can do it fine.
Nova launcher does the job too
