I'm sure there are a few of you that share annoyance about this. Here's an entire AOSP issue tracker devoted to it: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79889
I use an NFC implant to unlock my phone. It worked beautifully on 4.4.4 with Xposed. Lollipop brings NFC unlock with smart unlock, but after scanning an authenticated tag, you are presented with an additional keyguard that you then have to swipe. Even if you're simply using pattern unlock, you have to hit that little arrow at the bottom of the keyguard before you're presented with the pattern grid. Unlocking requires an extra swipe. Stupid.
With Secure Settings/Tasker, disabling keyguard/pattern causes the "Black Screen of Death" which renders the phone useless until reboot. As a result, I've stayed on KitKat.
Can a developer implement settings to disable that keyguard conmpletely? So if you're using standard PIN or pattern you're presented with the pin input or pattern grid immediately, or in my case, once the NFC tag is scanned it brings me straight to the homescreen?
Bump. Someone?
Bump
Wanting to implement this as well... xposed module that used to do it on 4.4 no longer works on lollipop

Nice work! But double tap registers as fast tap like 9 of 10 times (whichever delay value i use).
Swipe (fast tap) does not work on a Honor 5x with CM13

Try to tap it a bit slower. It takes experience...

Do not tap too quickly.
Does smart lock and fingerprint to unlock functions works without root?

Swipe function do not work, no matter how quick or slow tapping. There is no reaction.
Is root necessary for it to work, or is it just not supported?
In stock rom swipe is working with fingerprint.

No way found to do this without root (yet).

Root is not needed for swipe fast tap. I cannot test Huawei over here, closest thing is a Nexus 6P (Huawei made) which works. Maybe some other members can reply.
Do you get a "finger moved too fast" on your lockscreen when you do a fast tap/swipe? This is to determine whether the app works.

No, there is no message showing up.
All other functions work in your app. I tried also the functions where root is necessary, I rooted it to try out - everything works except swipe.
Why does this app require a persistent notification while Fingerprint Quick Action does not?
Great job on this vary helpful app. Works great on my stock rooted Nexus 6p 6.0.1

FQA has the option to prevent from being killed by system and it requires persistent notification. So, it's the same way.

Awesome!

Hello, I just bought new Z6 and satisfy enough with the stock ROM. Current Firmware is 17.1810.2005.153.
Just 1 feature I need most, that is fingerprint gesture.
I see some custom ROMs here have this feature.
How can I enable this on stock ROM? Is there any magisk module for this?
Thx
Which gesture do you mean exactly?
With stock ROM there's only one fingerprint gesture available, swipe down on the fingerprint reader to drop down the notification area & quick settings.
This can be found under settings - advanced - gestures & motions - fingerprint gesture.

Exactly that feature i meant.
Other custom ROM has enriched this feature with addition gesture such as: swipe left, right, double tap, etc.
I have this feature on my old phone and very helpful.
I wonder if there is addition to stock ROM which is quite satisfying for me at this time.
After updating to android 11, double tap to turn off screen need pin to unlocked phone. Biometric cannot be used. Anyone can make it works with biometrics?

Screen off with Nova works fine on Android 11. (without biometrics)
Just make right selection via Nova.

I'm using Nova Prime.( Android 11)
As Samsung, double tap to sleep, is not working
in Nova Prime...?
But in Samsung launcher Ui, Samsung double tap to sleep, works fine.
I then otherwise, have in Nova Prime settings, set Nova, double tap to sleep and and selected the Nova option Accessibility setting and not Admin one.
See screenshot.
Nova double tap.... screen off works fine, for me.
With screen off, i use Samsung double tap to wake,
i either get options that phone is already unlocked
with Smart unlock or otherwise when my Bluetooth is off( re Smart lock connection) a option to unlock with biometrics( fingerprints) or otherwise, my face unlock option works automatically and unlocks phone.
Good luck
I've only recently come across from Samsung so I don't know if this is normal or not.
On my Pixel 7 Pro, when the phone is locked, I can still swipe down the quick settings tiles and use them without unlocking.
I can switch off Bluetooth, wifi, auto rotate, I can even open Google Wallet but that obviously needs a password to pay.
Is there a simple way to disable quick settings from lock screen?
