Well its working on pure nexus but not with a fingerprint. I need to touch the screen to make the guy jump. Cool idea though. I'm glad people are working to make fingerprint scanner more useful.
Idea
Thank you, we are working on, if you have any idea you can talk with me.. we are looking for some good idea where can we implement..
hope XDA will support us

I'd imagine a lot of people who do gaming would appreciate the extra button. For me, not really an idea, but I'd like to use fingerprint to take pics. This has been done by a dev here, however AFAIK it doesn't work with the stock camera and that limits things.
But sure if I have any ideas I'll let you know.
Edit--ok just off top of my head--maybe a shortcut for call recording, screenshot, sleep, etc.
Not sure if this interests you or you're more of a game developer.

It was awhile back. Go deep in this section (apps &themes). I MIGHT have gotten it wrong. Think it controls the shutter but like I said it only works with a specific camera app.
We will

Would it be possible for finger print scanner to register a scrolling motion? For example use it to scroll down webpage or ebook
Yes
Its possible but what is major use case ?

I know Samsung's fingerprint scanners have left much to be desired and I hear or see a lot of negative feedback about it in the past and some present but supposedly it was much improved on the Note 4.
I've only had mine for a week but can say I am pleasantly surprised as it has performed much better then expected. I did have low expectations and on the S5 I tested for a while it was mediocre at best with frequent bouts of re-scans but on this one it works great.
I've use mine for lock screen and have probably got a couple hundred tests now and maybe I've had to redo a scan... 5-7 times? For me that's more then acceptable...and the times it fails it was more just me going fast or bad alignment.
All in all I'm very happy and will continue to use it.
I know there are a lot of variables but just curious...how's it working for you and are there tips for others on how to make it more successful?
Now I disable lock screen with fingerprint this need to keep stable phone and not always is possible. I'm using only to lock some apps.
Using it to lock some more personal apps but stopped using it for unlocking the phone because its a hassle really.

Noob question but how do you lock certain apps with fingerprint instead of the whole phone? Can't find it in settings :s

Its not in the settings, i'm using this app
I find mine fine, occasionally it has a bit of trouble but nothing terrible
Mine actually works pretty well. On else you figure out how to swipe your finger, it works well. The problem is that I don't like the swipe motion, so I don't use it, but when I tested it, it worked well. I wish they would have implemented the scanner into the heart monitor on the back.
Works good once you get the hang of it. Small learning curve coming from TouchID but it is definitely much better than the S5 implementation IMO.
Guess it's not for everyone.
Definitely better then the S5 by a mile. Just surprised so many have issues I guess.
Yes the scanning method itself could be better but I think it's the "registering" or setup of one's print that is causing the issues for most.

Register your same fingerprint 6 times and it will be much easier to unlock.

you can only register 3 fingerprints ?
I think samsung made a massive mistake in the finger scanner and I'm obviously comparing it to iphone 6 plus. iPhone 6 plus scanner works seamlessly very single time as it's design and method isn't swipe but touch based. Just like Htc one max finger print scanner samsung idea is flawed difficult to get spot on most times.
Why swipe when a simple touch will do, simples really.:silly:
Wake up samsung before you lose more customers who are getting fed up of their slow reactions to consumer demands.

When you register a fingerprint, it has you swipe it 20 times (two groups of 10). You can add 2 additional fingerprints, each of which need the same registration process. Using the same finger and motion for all 3 fingerprint registrations makes unlocking via the scanner much easier.
Good for me but I want more usefull, convernient: sign in any where, lock/unlock any apps by finger.

Let's think with other way..
Have you seen LG promotion video that said knock code are safer than fingerprint scanner ?
Based on my view, the fingerprint in note 4 and s5 is far safer (because you need to swipe it in right registered angle, ppl who don't know what angle we register won't get easy access to our phone.
And someone post in another thread here, that swipe fingerprint scanner is more secure than touch fingerprint scanner.
So it's just personal opinion, want to choose more ease of use or prefer to safety

Just make sure to disable the function that wipes your phone if you fail to unlock your phone successfully after x amount of times Nothing happened to me, but I noticed it was checked by default x_x;;
The finger print scanner has been working fine for me, but it does seem to be a tad sensitive.
My advice would be to swipe your finger or thumb in a manner similar to how you might do it without thinking when you are registering your fingerprint, if that makes sense?
Nexus 6 Doubletap To Wake
Description
Enables the "double tap to wake" feature that the Nexus 6 shipped with.. It requires root, so you must unlock your bootloader and root before using this. I am offering it for free to members of xda-developers; you can find the apk below. If you wish to donate, feel free to download it from the Google Play Store for $0.99 (USD):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codechron.n6doubletapunlock
If you wish to view the code or build from source to verify that nothing mischievous is going on, you may find the code on Github. Note that the code may be slightly messy; most of my development experience lies elsewhere.
https://github.com/smskelley/Nexus-6-Tap-to-Wake/
Video
@techfanatic9 was kind enough to make a video demonstrating the installation and basic use of this app.
Caveats
Google's built in implementation of double tap to wake isn't perfect. It's likely why it wasn't enabled out of the box. Some users have indicated that if their device has been sleeping for a while, double tap to wake isn't always reliable. It is very unlikely to cause harm to your Nexus 6, but extensive longterm testing has not yet been done. Additionally, this is unlikely to work on anything but the Nexus 6. By downloading now, you are accepting the liability if something were to go wrong. Please let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions.
Changelog
Version 1.2 - Mostly bugfixes.
Enhanced error checking.
If a non rooted device opens this application, it should no longer crash.
Small formatting changes.
Version 1.1 - Persist through reboot.
Settings now persist through reboot.
Changed name from "Doubletap to Unlock" to "Doubletap to Wake".
Updated Icon. Doesn't look amazing, but it's better than it was.
Updated some text.
Version 1.0 - Initial Version
Implemented the ability to turn on or off Double Tap to Wake
Dope! Testing right meow

You, sir or miss, are an amazing person. Coming from having the g2 and then the g3 I'm pretty accustomed to the knock on/off. Thank you for getting this out there on the swift tip.
Thanks, I am coming from the G3 and I still double tap my nexus at times since I'm so used to it. This works perfectly, I wonder why google took the feature out?
Just tested and works. This feature is essential since the phone lacks infrared sensors like the X. Nice work!

I dunno, but there is a commit in aosp that specifically disabled double tap to wake in HAL, for shamu.
Possibly to avoid pocket double tap? Or random double taps on accident.
If you reboot your phone, it breaks. You have to re-enable it again. Just letting you know.
it would be cool if you could double tap and wake the screen in ambient display mode
It doesn't take the proximity sensor into effect, so if your pocket double taps your phone, it will wake up. Next to my buddies OnePlus. If you cover the proximity sensor it won't double tap to wake.
This will wake no matter what. Just an FYI.
Works great for me. Thank you very much @naxir now the Nexus behaves like my G3
Thanks for this! Any battery impact?

While this isn't a bad app at all, it needs more features. Dev posted this up in the 6p threads and I bought it. Works but I still get peeking whereas the description says otherwise. Might just be conflicting with something I have installed. Anyways, I researched other fingerprint locks after buying this and the few that are out there have way more options. Dev stated more features are on the way. I'm still waiting for those features.
That said, the way he made this app work, seems better than the others. If he would add those extras, this would be the number one fingerprint locking app on the app store by far.
My advise to the developer is... keep working on this and get it feature rich before the store is flooded with these lock apps. There are many out that are missing the fingerprint side of things. When/if they update to include this sensor, your going to have competition.
Guys please check the update , its awesome
Bought pro and LOVE it! Thank you so much!

What is this fake crash screen about?
If I activate this, it just locks the app permanently and I have to open your app Locker to unlock the app? Then I'm able to start the app and have to lock it again, after I used it? Is this supposed to be?
If I understand this right, the fake crash screen prevents everyone from accessing the app until unlock through your app. But then you have to relock it again after.
So there are 2 possible scenarios, that I'd prefer, because for now, this option is useless to me.
First, if you activate your fake crash screen, it should be possible to blind unlock through fingerprint while the fake screen is up or click Okey to close the app.
Second, if fake lock screen is set, app shouldn't be accessable through the normal app drawer(or homescreen) but trough your app itself. Maybe if you click on the name of the app on the left side of the app list.
Beside this, great app and keep developing!

Hi everyone,
I recently published a new app called Imprint - Fingerprint Camera that I think you might enjoy. The idea of the app is simple, use your phone's fingerprint sensor as a camera shutter button to capture photos and videos. I believe this is the first app to use the fingerprint sensor for something other than security, but I could be wrong.
"But can't I use the volume rocker already?" you might ask
Yes, you can, but I think Imprint offers some improvements over the volume rocker. First, it's much easier to reach the fingerprint sensor on larger phones when in portrait view (like the 6P). Second, touching the fingerprint sensor tends to bump the phone less, resulting in clearer selfies.
The app uses the Nexus Imprint API to interact with the sensor, and allows any finger to take a photo, so you can hand off your phone to a friend and they can still use the app. Imprint also uses the Camera2 API for the crispest pictures.
The feature set is pretty simple right now, with front and rear camera support as well as front and rear flash support, but I am hoping to add more options in the future.
Here are some promo codes to test it out!

Possible for a coupon code for a free download to test this out?
Or perhaps you can post the APK here for a short while?
It's against the rules to do a thread with a paid app unless there's a free version

Right now this is the app that takes the picture since I need to be detecting fingerprint presses. I am planning on looking into if I can build the feature into the Google Camera app as well.

To add to that email, if the vibration can't be removed, add a 0.5 second delay to the shutter.

This! Interesting idea, but not sure how practical it would be unless i am able to try it out.
why should i start a camera app with less features than any other just to use fingerprint sensor?
There are so many good app ideas for alternative use of the sensor... but this app is useless
