Fingerprint lockscreen

Hey is there an apparently that allows you to have a lockscreen that is turned off with your fingerprint?

I'd say no, since no current lcd has the capability to scan a finger print.
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G on the Now Network.

The Mtorola Atrix does it with hardware. It has a fingerprint scanner built in, i dont think theres another way.

There is one that's made to look like that's what it does, but it actually has some sort of trick - a hidden swipe along the side, or something.

you would need a biometric scanner in hardwired into the lcd to make it work! which is possible the technology is there just havent seen an android with this as a feature yet...

there is an app in the market called fingerprint screensaver... it will make ou scan your finger/thumb 3x times to get a match... then when your phone goes into sleep/screensaver/ or lock screen you have to scan your the digit you used to unlock it.. it will run a green line to scan your print then shows a little print animation like how the feds scan prints then it unlocks or says scan failed...it only will work with the finger you scanned... I use it on my incredible its cool...

LOL that'snot how that app works AT ALL

I actually developed a lock screen replacement in partnership with google that does exactly this. It looks exactly like the stock lock screen, except while you slide to unlock it scans and validates your fingerprint. We forgot to put settings to add/remove fingerprints(users) though, so anyone who slides will gain access. Sorry.

edit: Ha, i only just got the post above
I believe the phone with the most simultaneous multi-touch points available at the moment is the Lg Optimus 2X, which has 10. 10 is theoretically enough to scan a fingerprint, but touch points on android phones get very confused when close together or on opposite axis and, as mentioned, no LCD screen is capable.
The Atrix 4g has a hardware fingerprint scanner and is the ONLY android phone that can do this. Saying you can do it via the touchscreen is complete crap.

Confirm the App is working in S6 - Turn your back cam as finger print sensor

Finger Print App lock - Unlock the lock 100% safe thru your fingers.
App locks allow us to keep the system and user application safe, I would like to take App lock into next leave using camera we made the first finger print app lock for all the devices.
Here you can download the application - ad-free version for xda users

There are few phone in market has Finger print sensors - like One plus 2, Elephone p8000, UMI harmar, etc.. We wanted all the phone user should have a access to finger print sensor without the sensor, so we made the first app which can use the camera and act as a finger print sensor.
We made a simple application which can use the Camera Sensor and Un-lock the locked Apps.
If the Finger print is failed to detect, automatically the Pattern lock or Number lock will open and ask the password.
Unlock the app thru your fingers.
Finger prints are Encrypted by default.
Choose the option which way you want to unlock the apps ? Finger print ? Numbers or Pattern?
Requirement for Finger print - All you need a good Camera with Flash, I believe 8Pix Camera with Flash can do the real job.

It would be a great idea if it uses actual fingerprint sensor for unlocking apps.

That's what I thought it was until I opened the play store page and watched the video.. 5-10 seconds to verify a fingerprint using a camera or less than 1 second to verify it using the integrated fingerprint sensor. I know which one makes far more sense!

Great idea....appreciate the hardwork

For everyone using CM or any of the custom roms and miss the fingerprint scanner... this is actually a nice substitute.
Can you let us know about privacy and if the data is stored locally or if it calls home?

privacy
We encrypt the User Finger prints and we don't save any of the user datas..

can we get always ok fingerprint scanner?

Hello, i saw some video of lineage os 15.1 and in that the guy would switch his phone on by just gently keeping his finger on the fingerprint scanner, like most phone's. Is there anyway around it? I physically don't wish to press the button. I also feel the finger print isn't accurate always. I've added multi finger prints. I'm using stock right now and I plan to keep it that way, no root.

The only way to do that is to install superman rom. Selecting the modified system ui in superman rom allows us to enable always on fp sensor ?

Question Fingerprint unlock

The Fingerprint Unlock feature on this phone NEVER works for me, Adding my fingerprint is really a nightmare, the fingerprint sensor is a joke. Every time when I put my finger on the sensor, either "fingerprint sensor is dirty, please clean and try again" or "only partial fingerprint is scanned" pops up and nothing was done. Does anyone use this feature successfully? Thank you for the info, regards.

Hey there.
I can confirm that the fingerprint sensor has some problems, especially if you use a cover.
And gives more errors when you try to use the big thumb - a logical thumb to use.
I have successfully recognized by the sensor the pointing finger and, as a backup the big thumb. The pointing has more rates of success.
Just try to randomly place all parts of your finger onto the sensor.
