Hey guys I've never liked to swipe to unlock, I rather just double tap and boom, right to the home screen. Is there anyway to remove the swipe to unlock like in most phones?

Hey guys, so I flashed TWRP onto my device but it keeps freezing when I try to reboot or when I press the power button it brings up the swipe to unlock but then when I slide to unlock it doesnt do anything. I have to hard reset it each time. Anybody have any ideas?
It works, you have to touch the screen with 2 fingers though. Like, 1st hold your finger on what you actually want to tap on, then while the holding the 1st finger down, tap the screen elsewhere with a different finger. when you have to swipe, swipe the bar to far right, hold it at the end, then tap a 2nd finger in the middle of the swipe bar. can't really explain perfectly without hands on lol. I prefer TWRP, so i just played around with it and figured it out. stupid bugs. Also, I don't know if i need specific drivers, but i can't mount my sd card to my PC in TWRP. If anyone can answer that.

Can I use fingerprint to unlock phone when it is in "swipe screen to unlock" status?
When the phone is password locked, I need to use fingerprint to unlock it, but when it was only turned off briefly, I have to swipe the screen to unlock it. This is annoying as you have to decide how to unlock the phone depending on its status. Can I set the phone up so that I can always use fingerprint to unlock even if it is in "swipe screen to unlock" status?
Not that I've seen. It's really frustrating because like you said, you have to check first 'can i swipe?' when you get used to using your fingerprint. I found it easiest to ALWAYS require fingerprint, as soon as the screen shuts off, it needs a fingerprint to bring it back. I've gotten used to just holding my finger over the home button when I press it to immediately unlock it. Might be your best bet as well.

That is probably the best work around so far. Thanks.
Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the pre-lockscreen "swipe to unlock" screen? I use a pattern lock, and when I want to unlock my phone it seems odd to me that I need to swipe a screen away before I can draw my unlock pattern. My previous phones didn't have this function, they went straight to the pattern screen when I hit the power/lock button.

Hello...
May I first ask... why not use the Fingerprint Sensor on the back ?
Problem Solved.
If for some reason that is not available to you.. "STAY STOCK DON'T ROOT" and wait for a Custom ROM that may.... have a way to bypass Step 1 of your delema.
OK, dumb question...
If I have smart lock enabled (I know that it has it own set of problems, but not what this one is about), and the S9 is unlocked on the home wifi (it is) why do I get the lock screen that I have to swipe away after pressing the home button on the AOD screen?
I also have an S8+ (android 7) that I do not have to swipe away the lock screen, as it only appears if the phone is locked.
Sorry about the title, I hit enter by mistake...

Just go to settings -> display -> navigation bar and check that "unlock with home button" is turned on.

Duh...
Thank You, I knew that I was overlooking something...
instead of using the power button, preferably without root
any suggestion?
I use Fingerprint Action Pro and Double Tap to lock on my Pixel 3xl stock un-rooted and I really like this combo. In Fingerprint Action I have it set to Single Swipe and set the swipe to all four directions up, down, left and right it's kinda like tickle to lock the phone.
OK thx I'll try it out
I use the app Double Tap To Lock Screen. It works great, Pixel 3xl on beta 5
Edit:It got moved just as I replied.
