This may sound like a daft question, but is there any way my fingerprint to unlock the screen, if I've not turned on fingerprint security? I don't ever use pin or fingerprint protection, but like how quickly it wakes the phone once it's picked up

Nº.
Would also like to see that option...
Hi, I hate having i screenlock, be it password, pattern or fingerprint - it's just to uncomfortable, especially being lefthanded and having a flipcover.
But, I'd still like to use fingerprint authentication in certain apps, like my bank's app. However it doesn't seem possible to activate the scanning functions and registering prints without having a screen lock active.
Does anyone know how to get around this (no root)?
I would also like to know as well. I am using Microsoft Next as my lock screen and I apparently am unable to only use the lock screen with the fingerprint scanner. I keep getting forced to have a pin or pattern which sucks.

You can pair your phone with a Bluetooth device, such as Bluetooth wristband, and enable Smart Unlock then you may bypass the PIN.

Sure, but then I'll have to walk around with some bluetooth thing. I don't want that, I just want to be able to use the fingerprint selectively, without it locking the phone.

Had never heard of Next, now I already love it - thanks!
I think that's not possible. Fingerprint adds a security layer, but if for some reason it's not supported by an app or if for any reason you cut your finger and your fingerprint it's not readable anymore, you must have a backup unlock method.
TL, DR. Where is the download?
github.com/xubowenhaoren/OPLiftToWake/releases
What does it do?
This is a simple app to enable Lift To Wake for OnePlus 7 series.
It is not the Lift To "Ambient Display" in the stock Settings App; it enables the true Lift To "Lock Screen" like other phones.
Why do I want this feature?
You've probably already known that OnePlus, in Android 10, reveals the notification content on the lock screen after Face Unlock.
But to see those notifications, you either need to:
1. Pick up the phone and unlock with your finger at the Ambient Display. A two-step process.
2. Pick up the phone and press the power button. Again, a two-step process.
Now with the app, you can pick up the phone and the lock screen immediately shows up.
How does it do this?
It listens to the native system sensor (`oneplus.sensor.pickup`). In my testing, it is very power efficient.
What phones does it support?
I have tested this on a OnePlus 7T with Android 10. It should also work with other OnePlus 7 series.
Note that for earlier OnePlus phones, there is also a [pickup sensor] but with a different name.
If you want this app to work with earlier OnePlus phones, you should try replacing this line in `Utils.java` with the correct sensor name:
```
mSensor = Utils.getSensor(context, mSensorManager, "oneplus.sensor.pickup");
```
How do I use it?
You probably want to turn off the Ambient Display first.
After installing the app, turn on the "Lift To Wake" toggle.
You should also consider turning off the battery optimization of the app for a more consistent background performance.
Do I need Magisk for this?
No, it is root-free.
Credits
Much of the code is from the Lineage OS team.
Other code references can be found in the code comments.
Love this feature thank you!
Works like a charm ? thanks.
Awesome! will give it try, hope there is no battery drain.
Great to see! Cheers
It is still a 2 step procedure when i use face unlock along with fingerprint.
It should be a command that when I pick up the phone -> auto open lockscreen -> auto trigger face unlock.
When i want to use fingerprint, just tap to wake ambient display and unlock with fingerprint.
I really dont want to sacrifice FOD to use only face unlock.

This is the app for you then. Also, you don't lose FOD at the lock screen.

You dont get my point, bro. When you use both FOD and face unlock, this app just show the lockscreen when pick up. Then u have to choose putting your finger on FOD or pressing the face icon button on top of the clock to unlock.
My desire is that the app will trigger the face unlock automatically in that situation.

I am using a OnePlus 7T. In my case, when the lock screen lights up, Face Unlock automatically works and my new messages reveal their content.

I have both Face Unlock and fingerprints set up, but I mainly use Face Unlock. Hence the need for this app

Weird!!! Something prevents the app from triggering face unlock automatically. Maybe because of the pop up camera firmware in 7 pro.
Pocket detection doesn't appear to work on OP7 Pro. ? Great work tho!

My OP7T doesn't even have a pocket mode, so I can't test that for you. However, the original Lineage OS code had support for pocket mode. You could try to add it! :good:
It's cool. Kinda slow thought.
If I turn off the notification, will it keep running?
And thanks for it, really useful:good:

Yes, I've tested this.
Facing a minor problem. The app has to be opened up to function after deep sleep i:e in the morning. The battery optimization is off for the app.
Any ideas how to fix the issue.
Nice I love it. Great job sir. ?

Same here.
If I remember correctly, the Pixel 6 pro was able to use universalauth to spoof using face unlock instead of fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone as well as using biometric unlocks in apps.
Has anyone tried doing this with the Pixel 7 pro? Or is there an alternate method to use face unlock for all biometric authentication?
