Fingerprint Force Close

Hi,
Someone knows, how to fix a Fingerprint FC in Settings?
I flashed RR + Banks Gapps + Radon + Radios + ViperFX, and... Still I have fc, even without xposed and with Radios.

Where is fingerprint data stored?

I've run into an issue where my phone is now accepting anything on the fingerprint scanner as a valid fingerprint, and I'm unable to add new prints, or clear existing ones for some reason. I'm going to try to just delete the fingerprint data before I do a factory reset, but I don't know where it is actually kept on the phone, if anyone has any idea, it'd be appreciated.

Update: I ran logcat *:E and got this when trying to remove fingerprints
07-30 20:30:21.342 960 960 E fpc_tac : fpc_tac_send_get_uint32_cmd failed with retval: -3
07-30 20:30:21.342 960 960 E fpc_fingerprint_hal: int fpc_remove(fingerprint_device*, uint32_t, uint32_t) failed -5, reloading db

For those with fingerprint and battery issues on custom roms.

So some newer devices have been shipped with different components from the older ones and while everything works fine on recent miui versions, most custom roms have issues. So I'm creating this thread to document all the issues caused by these new components and any solutions to them in one thread. Please reply if you have any other issues caused by the new hardware or any solutions to them.

Fingerprint

Description:

• Option to add fingerprints doesn't appear even after setting pin, pattern or password on non miui based roms.

Cause:
Some devices have a new fingerprint sensor manufactured by Goodix which is not yet supported by non miui based roms.

Solutions:

• miui and any miui based roms such as xiaomi.eu should still work fine.


• Wait for CM to add support for the new hardware to its source code.

Battery

Description:

• Battery is stuck at either -2% or 50%.


• TWRP does not show battery percentage at all or constantly shows 50%.

Cause:
Possibly new battery controller hardware or an issue in the CM code which causes this issue on most newer roms.

Solutions:

• miui and other miui based roms such as xiaomi.eu should be fine.


• Mokee works fine.


• Unofficial Ressurrection Remix works fine up until the 06/08 build.

If you know of any other issues caused by newer hardware or solutions please tell me so that I can add it to this thread.

Hi there, long time nexus user, new 6p user here.

I feel it would be sweet to be able to launch different apps with different fingers. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

Greenify + fingerprint not working?

Hello,
I updated my Note 5 last night to the latest update from sprint and now unlocking the phone with fingerprint does not work if i use greenify to lock the screen. Prior to the update, also on android 6.0.1, i was able to lock the phone using greenify and unlock with my fingerprint. How can i fix this?

Thank you

Fingerprint Sensor for apps lock

Is there possible to lock apps or use fingerprint Sensor without using it on secured lock screen like Samsung.

Fingerprint unlock noise - unable to disable

As the title states, i cant find an option to disable this and its very annoying. There used to be an option in the fingerprint section but its now gone.

The general unlock noise off/on doesn't work and I dont get a noise if I unlock with PIN, this noise (dong), only occurs when I unlock with fingerprint.

Bug or deleted option on latest update?

[guide] ( need root) how to use fingerprint button as home, back and recents button.

If you want to use the fingerprint sensor as capacitive button and remove the on screen buttons, here are how to do it. TESTED ON XT 1640 (BRAZIL VERSION)

First you need to root and install TWRP recovery. take a look on the other threads for it.

Install the EX Kernel from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...-0-01-t3424836) [ READ THIS THREAD FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COMPATIBILITY]

If everything works fine, this kernel makes you fingerprint work as home button, but to have others functions, intall this app ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...dware-t3361340)

Now you can remapp as your wish.


TO REMOVE THE ON SCREEN BUTTONS:

Use any build.prop editor and just add this line ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 )

post your screenshots if you enjoy it.

thanks to flar2 for the kernel and app.

Fingerprint Settings Menu Crash

Hi guys, New here, Had my G5 a good few months and absolutely love it!

I've not ran into any issues until yesterday evening 22/07/16. I did the software update, which was around 470mb, and since my fingerprints have not work, the phone then went into a Boot Loop, I restored it to factory settings and and then attempted to add some fingerprints, however each time I go into Settings > Fingerprints & Security > Fingerprints > Next, but as soon as I hit next the app immediately freezes and after a short period of time crashes with the usual message "Unfortunately com.android.settings isn't working" with the usual options to wait or exit, both result in exiting. I have tried reverting back to different stock roms but no luck, was hoping someone may have an idea of what is causing it. I have been through all of the app settings resetting data and cache on various things. I also commented on the facebook app crash post as this was also occurring but reverting to a previous version of facebook solved that one.

Current Software Details are as follows:
Android Version 6.0.1
Android Security Patch Level 2016-06-01
Baseband Version MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.4-00032-M8996FAAAANAZM-1
Kernel Version 3.18.20
Build Number MMB29M
Software Version V10d-EUR-XX

Thanks!

fingerprint scanner

is there a way of making the fingerprint scanner work just by having your thumb on the scanner instead of having to swipe it on the S5? If the hardware doesnt support that, id not be surprised, but if its a software thing, that would be an awesome mod to have!!

MM + Root + Xposed + Fingerprint + ENCRYPTION?

Hello Guys and Girls!

I am about to buy a new LG V10 H960a in Germany.
Currently I am using a Galaxy Note 3 which is still a great machine, but I think it is time to switch to a new phone with more speed, better camera and better sound.
I do not game, but listen to a lot of music and take a lot of photos and videos.

At the moment, my phone running stock Android 4.4.4 is rooted, has Xposed and is encrypted.

My question:
After officially unlocking the bootloader on the V10, will I be able to:
Root + install Xposed (Xprivacy, Greenify) + ENCRYPT the device on Stock Marshmallow? (I am not going to install custom roms). Does the method [adb -> pkill -KILL daemonsu] still work? If not, which way do I have to choose?

Also, if I ENCRYPT my device, could you tell me more about the unlocking mechanism?
1. After booting, what is the maximum of letters and numbers possible in the password field [16?]?
2. Is it possible to unlock with the fingerprint sensor after entering a password once after booting?
3. I did not find much info or looked in the wrong place: Generally unlocking with fingerprint, do you have to press once to both wake and unlock or do I have to press twice for wake and once again for unlock?

Thank you very much!

Unlock screen behavior with fingerprint

Phone is on latest 6.01. I setup fingerprint to unlock and a backup password as required. Sometimes, it will ask for password instead of fingerprint to unlock. Another issue is sometimes it asks you to swipe up before you enter the password.

Usually right after I turn the screen on, I'm able to enter the password or fingerprint unlock on previous versions. Is this a bug or can this behavior be disabled? I just want to unlock with fingerprint in one step, makes no sense to have to swipe first then enter a password.

enable Fingerprint security

Using fingerprint to wake % LOCK screen

Is there a possibility to use fingerprint sensor to wake and lock device as it is on double tap to wake without (or with) security check? I think it would be great feature to add on roms. Cheers

S7 Edge Fingerprint sensor not working ! HELP

hello everyone ! I'm facing some serious issue with my s7 edge with fingerprint not working. it gives this' An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device.
It's NZ model G935F. So far I have done this but no luck:

1) restarted device
2) wiped cache and data resest
3)flashed stock rom with odin
4) rooted phone with chain fire, Installed titanium backup and from fingerprint app delete data and restart phone! No luck.
5) When i run *#0*# test fingerprint sensor test it says ' Fingerprint initializing Fail '

What else I can do ? I'm currently in India and can't access warranty as it was bought in New Zealand.

Fingerprint issue on new hardware.

I bought the Redmi note 3 pro sd version on 27th june. I guess it has the new fingerprint hardware. Requesting previous developer who has built the cm radio zip to work the fingerprint on cm based Roms to create another zip for new hardwares or else it's really uneasy to use the ROM for us. Like it's easy but we really miss the fingerprint. feels like it's not there. Hope we'll get It on the new hardware soon. thanks. :fingers-crossed:

Fingerprint and New Security Policy Update

Good day!

Can anybody tell me a workaround for the new security policy update?

Problem: I use the double tap feature to lock the screen using Nova Launcher. Before the recent update, I can unlock my phone using the fingerprint after using the double tap to lock. After getting the latest update, I have to use the Pattern unlock or any other lock you have set, just not the fingerprint unlock feature. I can still unlock the phone via fingerprint but I have to lock the device using the the Power/Lock button in order for it to be used/appear after waking up the phone.

I know it's not a major problem. It's also the reason I stayed away from Good Lock. But can somebody help me with a workaround? Thank you!
No rooting please.

Fingerprint sensor not work

I have Huawei mate 8 L29c185b180 fingerprint sensor not working and not showing option in a sitting menu fingerprint option

PIN/Pattern required to enable fingerprint

Why is it when I set a fingerprint, I set a pattern for the mandatory backup security but when I try to unlock with fingerprint it asks for a pattern saying "Pattern required to enable fingerprint"?

Fingerprint hardware not recognized

I had to get a different OP3 after breaking the screen on my old one and when I flashed my NANDroid backup, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. Shows the message from the title on the lock screen. I'm assuming some file needs to be replaced for it to work. Anyone have any idea what is needed? Pic attached of message.
