Since fingerprint sensor is fixed in lineageos (or -based) roms, I like just to soft touch the sensor in stead of pressing it for home button. The app fingerprint quick action can do it. And some more (double tap, quick tap..)

Is there a way to get a soft powerbutton for device standby like in CyanogenMod the standby button in quick settings? I think the real powerbutton will broken soon!
Best regards

Try to use smart cover it save power button...
I use the app screen off and lock.
As I use Nova launcher I added gesture (double tap) to this app. So double tapping on home screen now brings device to standby
So the op3t had the option to double click the power button to open up camera, it's quick and all, but can we change the camera to the updated Google camera one?
You can change it (double tap power button) to open the Google camera. But it will still open the stock camera when the screen is off (phone locked). I tried freezing the stock camera app, to see what would happen, and it broke the double-tap functionality altogether (double tapping power does nothing).
There is another thread discussing this, and it seems that the double-tap function is embedded into OOS and currently nobody has found a way to "remap" it under all conditions.
Good day! I'm curious if the fingerprint scanner defaults as the home button when on-screen navigation bar is enables?
I'm on VTR-L29C636B171 right now and I did not notice this on VTR-L29C636B166
I'm on B171 of the dual sim model and for me the fingerprint reader is completely disabled and acts just like a fingerprint reader. However I have noticed that the reader acts like a home button when the screen is off and password/pin disabled.
The sensor is P10s biggest feature besides the camera but it works only as Homebutton when the Navbar is disabled...but why would someone enable the Navbar when the sensor works so awesomely perfect?

Click to collapse
One tap takes you one step back, long tap takes you to home screen and a swipe to left or right gives you multi tasking option. Hope that helps

Hi,
I have a short question - is it possible to customize fingerprint scanner gestures in the P10? Is there a mod or something to do that? I can't stand current selection, single tap should always be 'home'. My perfect set of gestures would look like this:
single tap - 'home'
swipe left - 'back'
swipe right (or up) - 'multitasking/recent apps'
swipe down - pull down the shortcut panel
tap and hold for 0,5 sec - screen off
double tap - toggle between recently used apps (P8 had this! Even bare bones Android has such function)
Give Tasker a try. I don't know, if it's working and if it won't make problems with the EMUI settings, but you can give it a try.
I have to say, that a swipe for everytime I want to go back would be very annoying. I was 9 years on iPhone before I got my P10 and had to get use to it, but know it's like an automatism.
Not going 'home' after tapping the "home" button is much more annoying. Besides the 'back' button is usually on the left side so swiping left is the closest thing.
I asked on the Tasker forums and one of the users said that it requires TouchTask plugin (for Tasker). We'll see.
Were you able to customize the gestures? Did tasker work? I don't use Google app (disabled it) and think there should be a remap feature... Should not be that hard to do...
Hello anyone knwo how to enable fingerprint as Home button without using an app (like fingerprint Quick action or fingerprint gestures)?
Is there any modification in build.prop or system files to do?
