So i was thinking of disabling the ring lock screen on sensation so that when you turn on the screen, it takes you to home right away.
For now, there is no such an option to permanently disable it. But i realized that a lot of third-party software have this ability. For example, if u try Go SMS PRO, it gives u an option to pop up a window when you get a new txt which bypasses the lock screen, meaning that you will not see the ring lock screen when the phone is turned on.
So i am sure there is a way to tweak the sensation to get rid of the lock screen. At the very least, we can trace how GO SMS does this and make a small program or patch out of it....
but is there any one who knows how to do so?
Wait for CM7

Isn't there widget called "No lock" or something like that.... I thought that worked, not sure though, I do like that ring lockscreen.
Try this ?
I remember uninstalling a lockscreen on a sensless Rom thru titanium backup. Try it out but make sure to back it up first.

Correct. I've been using No Lock since my HD2. Works great.
I just turn it OFF using Elixir 'Lock' switch and then using the 'Lock Screen Widget' to soft OFF & can use volume or power button to turn ON
no lock works fine. but im wondering how much battery it drains while its running in the background....
Ders is a way to disable it. Go to system/app and look for htclockscreen.apk and rename it to htclockscreen.bck this disables it and give u the orignal android lockscreen and if u wish to go back to sense 3 lockscreen simply rename the .bck back to .apk

but i dont want any lock screens at all
I just downloaded the No Lock app and trying it out. It seems to work great for disabling the ring lock screen, at least it seems like I have found some a way to not have to fight to unlock my Sensation right now.
Does it also remove the PIN lock screen as well? I just want to get rid of the unnecessary ring screen, but still want security on my phone.

I just tested all three methods of security and yes with the pattern, pin, and password the No Lock disables all of them. So when you are using No Lock your device will not lock in any way unless you doable No Lock. Or if you use the lock widget it will look your device but it ask for administrative rights first.
Now there might be another app out there that will disable just the default lock screen but still allow you to use the pin, pattern, or the password. But if you still want some security you can try Smart App Protector (app lock). It is on the Android market and it is free. It allows you to lock any application you want to be secure with a pin, pattern, or password. I am about to test it out myself.
If you're using Android Revolution HD there are files you can flash to disable it
I tried No Lock, but nuked it after trying it out.
It had the function I wanted but had a bad (for me) sideeffect.
On incoming call, I reached down in my pocket and one or two of my
sausagefingers accidentally denied the call while picking the phone out
of my pocket. Everytime.
My Alzheimerbrain just could'nt remember to pick up the phone gently-ish.
So I'm doomed to be semibound by phone.
As we can unlock our Nexus 5X with our fingerprint in a comfortable way, I think LockScreen is also great to lock the device from a (material design adapted) widget. And you can also use transparent widgets!
You can download it from Google Play (it's free!).
I've developed this app so, please, any feedback is welcome!
Best regards!

Doesn't work correctly on the 5X, once you have locked using the widget, you are then unable to unlock again with the fingerprint reader, you have to then use the keypad, that defeats the object of having a fingerprint sensor.

I'm pretty sure it does not... same issue with this.
Unless you create a widget that activate a root task to lock the screen, it will ask for the keypad.

I use nova launcher's gesture control to also launch Greenify's Hibernate and Lock Screen. Which works as intended... Fingerprint scanner unlocks device. Maybe im missing something in what you are saying.

Just tested it already too, does not work for me.
And it seems to be a known issue since 2 others thread are talking about it already
Maybe there's something you guys have done differently that make this work but I've done this :
1/ setting double tap on home screen with nova launcher to launch Greenify's Hibernate and Lock screen
2/ once device locked and screen turned off, puting my finger on the fingerprint. It does wake the phone but asks for the pin code which does not when you lock the phone with the hardware power button
And it's the same behavior with other launchers and apps that can turn off the screen

The only thing i have done is root the phone no other system modifications have been made on my device i am still encrypted, no custom lock screen or any of that business.

Same here - been looking for this feature and still havent found it - not interesting in root either and losing all the functions that go away with that.
Any solutions yet? Not rooted.

Any app that locks the screen, fingerprints doesn't work afterwards. It's not just this app.
Same thing happens when using Screen Off app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.matthijsvh.screenoff
mine is rooted and i use greenify "lockscreen+hibernate" widget without a problem
When I use the Nova double tap gesture to lock the screen (using Greenify, Screen Off and Lock or Screen Off), I have to type in my pin to open the phone (it won't let me only use the fingerprint scanner). When I shut off the screen via the power button the fingerprint scanner is all that's needed . Do you guys know of a work around to use DT2S while being able to still use the fingerprint scanner to reawaken the phone?

Mine is working with Nova, you don't need Screen Off anymore, it's built into Nova for awhile now.
I noticed that but I still have to enter the pin after diuble tspping even though fingerprint is enabled. Weird.

same here, kinda sucks that I have to keep entering the pin
I'm using swipe up gesture to screen off. Fingerprint unlock is working
Same here. It works but I have to put in my pin after fingerprint.

same maybe it's something that we disabled that broke something?
So I had the same thing. Its actually greenify. Took me a while to figure it out because i was in the same boat. Uninstall that and try the built in app control. I'll still throw down between 5-6 hours screen time without greenify
I use the same exact setup and my fingerprint scanner works perfect.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk
It says when you use this why it does it, you'll need root to get around this issue and enable root mode in Nova Settings.
that doesn't make any sense. mine works completely fine by doing this. I never turn it off using the power button and I always unlock it with the scanner.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk
I tried it again with Greenify and the other double tap to lock apps uninstalled and set Nova to use its own lock device setting yet I still have to enter my pin when turning on the screen using the fingerprint scanner. It's bizarre.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I have the same problem. Galaxy S7 + Greenify or Screen OFF, every time I have to enter the PIN too. It is very annoying. I hate to use the side button to shut off the screen, I need one of these apps to work properly with the fingerprint scanner.
same here, have to use the pattern after Nova's double tap lock.
I think the issue shows up if you are also using Smart Lock. I installed Screen Lock Pro and use it in the Nova gestures for double tap and it works great.

Screen Lock Pro does not require your password after fingerprint? I tried two different lock screen utilities and both still required my password.

Correct. There is an option you need to select that I should have mentioned. Smart lock and Nexus imprint must be selected and then it will work. You do need the pro version.
Back on my G3 with Nova I had this same issue when I enabled Smart Lock. I also tried many apps and could not find one that worked. Glad someone on Reddit posted this solution

Thank you, it finally works. :good: Screen Lock Pro with Smart lock enabled is the solution.
I've always used Nova Prime as my launcher of choice and intend to stay with it.
Where as the oneplus launcher gets better and better with each update it still doesn't compare to Nova.
I've always previously rooted my devices, but I've decided with the new OP6 not to.
I'd like to use double tap to lock screen.
I've been using this option with Nova but without root, I can't unlock with fingerprint as it uses device admin to lock screen so needs pin unlock.
The oneplus launcher permits double tap to lock and then allows unlock with fingerprint sensor.
How can I get this functionality within Nova without rooting?

1, settings ->security.. -> device administrator.. -> nova launcher
2, If that doesn't´t work google search might bring you there: https://www.google.com/search?clien...ble+tap+to+lock+android+app&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8. I even tried this app before posting. And it works
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, unless I did it wrong when using this app (and all other luck even apps) to lock the screen I can't use my fingerprint to unlock it says locked by device admin and I have to enter a pin.
The double tap to look within the oneplus launcher enables fingerprint unlock.
I suspect it's a Catch 22 either root or use oneplus launcher which I don't really want to.
Hoping that the OP screen lock is an activity which I can call from Nova

Open Nova Settings, scroll down to 'Advanced' and click on 'Lock Method' (I think it's called that way in English, but not entirely sure since I use it in Dutch). Then, if you choose the 'wait 5 seconds' option, you can use DT2S without entering pin after unlocking it.
BTW: my phone is unrooted.
Yep, that works, although, do you find, that after unlocking the screen brightness is set to minimum?

Anyone know how to keep fingerpint to unlock apps without using a lock on the homescreen?
Im not a fan of locking my homescreen but i like being able to use my fingerpeint to unlock banking apps instead of logging in with password.
It seems like you need a fingerprint lockscreen to keep the feature to unlock apps with fingerprint. They seem to be connected. Any way around it?
You could put the apps you want locked into the secure folder.
+1. It'd be great to be able to log into apps with fingerprint and keep using swipe or a pin code to unlock our phones. Anyone know of a way?

Gotcha. I'm the opposite... still would like a lock screen but using the other alternatives..
Probably no way around it sense the biometrics on your device are a shared asset. It references what the phone identifies as you to identify you in the app. Its why you can have four finger prints that can verify you in the bank app but you only need one for the initial setup. And switching to none for lockscreen removes all biometrics.
