Android 6.0 Fingerprint Scanner and Multi Window - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i just recently updated my nexus to 6.0. I used the factory image and did a clean install, so now my phone is not rooted and I have to wait for 6.0 root. Anyways my question is, since updating I could not find any fingerprint scanner option in the settings of nexus 6, neither was I able to find any multi window option in nexus 6 settings.
How do I use these features?

LOL!

The Nexus 6 doesn't have a fingerprint scanner so you're not going to find any settings for that. To enable multiwindow you need to edit your build.prop like so:
1. Backup your old build.prop somewhere
2. Use Root Explorer (or any app with the ability to edit the build.prop) to find the line that says "ro.build.type=user"
3. Change "user" to "userdebug"
4. Save changes and reboot
5. Go to settings-> developer options-> and it's in the drawing section with the window animation speeds.

The fingerprint scanner is hardware, not software. It won't ever exist on the Nexus 6. It exists on the 2 new Nexus models and on the newest Samsung models.

The screen would need to be a special screen that can scan fingerprints. Yours is not.

Lmao this is precious

So this means that if i have previously locked my Nexus with my finger i won't be able to unlock it? Damn. Should read the manual beforehand ...

Would it be safe to update this or does it also possibly patch a hole in the bootloader? Would you be able to bring the Droid X back down to a previous update if necessary?
i'm pretty sure its safe up update
Downloading the update! Let see if this fixes the ability to copy and paste from the moto email client.

Still no copy paste
I think u need to think before you post "safe". It probably is not "bad" but it very well could patch a possible exploit making your phone harder to root later on.

http://www.wjddesigns.com/2010/07/20/droid-x-ota-update-out-commercially/ I figured people should know it broke my cam and video camera but found a fix for it - it was fring
THe update was to fix a variety of things including the Screen issue.
http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/07/21/verizonmotorola-issue-fix-for-droid-x-screen/
Article says it all.
I've heard DX users report that bluetooth tethering works OOB w/o the wifi hotspot package, and the improvements list for this update includes "updated bluetooth connection for enhanced video sharing experience". Does this update remove said tethering functionality?
The update doesn't break bluetooth tether.

Change Carrier Name?

I recently switched carriers from MetroPCS and I'm now currently on AT&T through Straight Talk. The first thing I noticed after I switched sim cards and my service was finally activated, was that the carrier name shows "Home" instead of "AT&T" of "Straight Talk".
Is it possible for us to change the carrier name?
I'll attach a picture to show what I'm talking about

Given that I only see the carrier name on my lockscreen for a few seconds until I've unlocked the phone, I see little point in changing it. Now, it can be done, but I believe you need Xposed and GravityBox to do it.
It's one of those things that just kind of nag me when I pull down the status bar
I would use xposed, but I'm pretty sure that it's still not compatible with Android N yet. I was looking for alternative ways of doing it.

I don't believe there is an "easy" way to do it. You're probably going to have to decompile framework-res.apk and edit the carrier name in strings.xml, then recompile the framework. That is probably as simple as it gets, as I don't think there is an app that will do it for you. But search the site. You may find something that works that I haven't found.

You can use a custom rom to hide it. To be able to change it takes a bit more.
I find it annoying as well that is why I only run roms that allow me to get rid of it. I know what carrier I use. I dont need to be reminded.

Best Xposed password protection module??

Hello guys I've been using several password protection apps for a while now, but I've read somewhere that they are draining the battery a lot faster, which is true is some cases since I have noticed that my battery "dies" faster with the apps (I'm only using 1 app at the time)...
My question is, if I use an Xposed module, do you think that is better? Or should I just continue using a password protection app from playstore?
Also if you recommend using a Xposed module instead, which one is the best?
I use Maxlock. Never was a fan of app locks till I gave this a shot. ?

This is opening Xposed Installer. If you don't enter the password, it's impossible to get into the app by clicking back or anything else like some apps.

I like ProtectedApps. Everything else I tried (though I never attempted MaxLock) allow me to kill the top app (locker) and skip into the (now no longer) locked app

but u can delete app from data partion. either by root explorer or by aroma file manager through recovery. But once I was using maxlock xposed I set a knock code and enable the hide line option and then I was unable to unlock any app. I dont know why though I was using the correct pattern. So I had to delete it using aroma 'cause I locked every app. So that's the drawback i.e missing reset feature. So if u want to use xposed lock apps then be cautious and once research urself on the mentioned facts, though their r many xposed app for locking. [emoji6] [emoji6]

Samsung pay error message.

Going with the spirit of the forum I decided to try Samsung Pay. Setup two cards . I attempted to purchase an app from the Samsung store, but I receive the error message "Secure UI not ready" come back in another minute.
Any ideas whats causing this, DPI?
Edit. I changed my DPI back to 360 from 340, still didn't work.

If i recall to be able to use Samsung pay correctly the following needs to be done
Lockscreen/security needs to be setup (PIN or pattern)
a Samsung pay pin needs to be setup (separate from android lock screen pin)
Optional: iris/fingerprint setup(can be used in place of pin when paying for stuff, but Samsung pin still needs to be setup)
Payment card will need to be enrolled then authorized by bank/institution (which usually requires phoning them so they can white list the token ID generated by the phone)
I don't have a locks screen setup or anything. I'll try that later. I've got a pin setup in Samsung pay and cards enrolled.

S pen smart select

Hi guys
If I'm not wrong on early version of note series the s pen was able to select multiple crop. I mean one crop and store it on floating icon the another crop ... finally you was able to see what you selected and use that. On note 9 is that possible?

Yeah I was taking about that... scrapbook it I'd not necessary for that.... btw we have to wait to just like you said.. thanks so much
Can't you just install scrapbook?
You can do screen write. Then, when N9 takes first screen shot, it gives you option to crop or scroll down for another page to capture,and so on... But you don't have smart select multiple pages unfortunately...
