Hi guys! Would anybody know if we can remap the gestures of our Fingerprint sensor?
I mean it already supports swipe down to open the Notification Bar, so can we somehow map it to be a hlme button on press, and maybe back button on left/right swipe?
I know it might be a novelty feature, but it wouldn't it be cool if we can do that?

Tried it, and it works!
I hope it would have supported side swipe, but it doesn't. Is it a hardware limitation perhaps?

Back in the days of the Galaxy Nexus, there was an app to wake the phone by simply sliding your finger from left to right. It required root and a kernel that supports some feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pp-mod-touchcontrol-pgm-galaxy-nexus-t1721895
It saved my power button from wearing out. I hope there will be one available for the S6. :good:
No one interested?
i think a kernel with doubletap to wake feature will be better,
I don't like double tap as it can happen accidentally in the pocket and no custom kernels for the s6 for now.
I miss my doubleTaptoWake feature from my G2. I would be so excited if someone could make this happen

i dsabled home button because of opening in poket
I have slide to wake using nova launcher and secure settings.
In nova settings go to gesture settings - slide up (or any gesture you prefer) - secure settings - lock device.
Yoy can even apply it to just one icon instead of full screen

That's slide to lock, not the same thing as slide to wake when the device is off. Also, there are some apps that can lock the screen with a single tap.
Bump.

Less wear and tear is never a bad idea. Just ask my wife's Note 3 :laugh:

Can't flash custom kernels on s6.
I've search the Note 8 forums, found similar but not specific to root. I'm wondering now that we have root can we replace the double tap home quick launch Samsung camera with a different app, specifically the ported gcam with HDR auto. Also wondering if it can be set to work with the screen locked like the built in camera. Perhaps an app exists and I'm just not finding it.
I have put the camera as my lockscreen shortcut but it still requires unlock to run. Coming from the Pixel, I find the gcam app to get me images much more similar to Pixels quality vs what comes out of Samsung's camera.
You dont even need root, you can use one of the various ways to remap bxby. Personally I have my bixby button remapped to 1 click is camera, double click is google now, and longpress is torch. works with screen off too, so its very handy. I did this with BK Disabler to disable bixby and bxActions to remap the button. Note: you can leave bixby enabled if you so choose and yuou can still have one click be bixby as normal if you like, then double tap camera. - EDIT : I just saw you wanted a different app, while I have mine set as default camera, I would assume there are already routes to use others as well.
I think the OP is asking if it's possible to remap the camera shortcut. OP stated double tap home for camera but that's how it was on my Note 5. On the Note 8 the double tap camera shortcut is the power button. I don't think there is a way to remap that with an app, not that I have seen anyway. I believe that shortcut is a part of the actual camera app.

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?

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

Does anyone else find the Huawei P20 Pro's "virtual navigation" to be counter intuitive? The off-screen navigation controls make no logical sense.
Tapping the fingerprint sensor = back button
Holding the fingerprint sensor = home screen
Swiping from right to left across the fingerprint sensor = view open apps
Who designed this? Why is there no ability to customize it to a more logical function?
If it were my choice, this would be how it operates:
Tapping the fingerprint sensor = HOME
Holding the fingerprint sensor = RECENT APPS
Swiping from right to left across the fingerprint sensor = BACK
I feel like this makes much more sense for efficient usage? Does anyone else feel the same?
When I first used it I couldn't get the hang of it. Tried again and gave it a couple of days and once it clicks it's great.

Nice topic, can you use any fingerprint remappers kind of apps, and tell if that fixed the issue or not ?
I tried All In One Gesture but it looks clunky.
I will love to have Gesture across the screen rather than limited to the Button or the Navigation Dock....
I think the default gestures are very nice build. The ones I use more often is the ones that are easiest, and quickest to perform; "back" and "home". And the one I use most seldom is the hardest to do, and thats "recent apps". But I guess we all use our phone in a different manner, so customisation should be allowed.
I don't mind this arrangement but I do miss the ability to quickly double tap recents to open the last app you were using. I used that that a lot..

Exactly same issue for me
I use "Back Button" that creates some floating buttons for me on the right side. There you can double click to change to the reason app. Used them on my s8+ when hiding the on screen buttons.
Screenshot added.

I tried a couple but they all had a very long delay to respond after trying the gestures.

Were nav bar virtual buttons enable when using fingerprint remapper ?

Yup. Other than that I find the gestures just fine to use. Don't know why the op has the default assumption that their idea for a setup is more logical. Both are just arbitrary choices at the end of the day, and either setup would take some time to commit to muscle memory.
Is there a way that by tapping the fingerprint reader at any app i go to the homescreen?
I know the sweeping gesture to open the notifications.
Have you tried a remapping app?

A magisk module for this will be great!! Maybe @Tulsadiver know a way
With how often I hit the sensor by accident, Id imagine it to be an annoyance. Just the like the sensor gesture that would expand/close the notification screen. Just some UX input.
