Using Global ROM with locked bootloader. I noticed a lot of the apps I used on my previous Samsung which had fingerprint integration are no longer recognized on my MIX, my banking app and other fingerprint enabled apps no longer allow me to use my fingerprint to access them, instead requiring usernames and passwords. Does anyone else have this problem?
I've used LastPass and fingersecurity on my mix since day one with no problems.
I had a tendency to put my finger on the camera rather than the scanner for a while!

Yep still doing that ?
Is there any way to get intelligent scan on note 8 oreo?
I desperately want it coz facial recognition is slow ..almost useless in dark areas

Use finger print scanner, but use it correctly and scan your fingers correctly too. Or use iris recognition, pretty fast.
Iris scan is pretty fast and good
Intelligent scan on the note 8
I want it as well, cause iris scanner doesn't work well with my glasses and facial recognition dosent work at all at night without bringing the display up to 100 %
Its samsung, they dont add features to old flagships even if the hardward can support it.

There is some interesting features on Google settings that I can't find in settings but the phone pop up it sometimes. Google offers new ways to unlock or keep unlocked the phone during specific situations. Really don't know how to find it.
Btw Finger scanner is very nice and fast too.

Hi all.
Android Auto
Unfortunately I can't find any roms with Android Auto working. The app can't detect the "draw over other apps" permission and can't start. Some people confirmed multiple times this is not an issue of mine. I report the issue to many devs and maintainers but they have never fixed. Since I can't try all XDA roms, do you know any rom with Android Auto working?
Fingerprint working with financial apps
All roms I tried, except for Personal LineageOS 15.1 by @Ham3r, have issues with fingerprint. Financial apps like PayPal (and many others) don't let me use fingerprint because of an issue with SEpolicy, which can be fixed with literally one line of code.
I'm looking for a rom without these 2 annoying issues. I can give up on Android Auto but the fingerprint is really important.
Thank you!
It's seriously tiresome that no focus has been given to Android Auto - it works perfectly on Nougat, if you were wondering.
This thread is so more information about our fingerprint issue when building from source code can reach more devs and enable them to start off without having to research any and all the information that we already have.
The main goal is to share what each one of us knows so far and discuss what may work and won't work.
Share our ideas and thoughts on the subject.
First question is
how many of you still have these files in these locations after flashing source built rom?
system/vendor/lib64/hw/goodix.fingerprint.sdm845.so
system/vendor/lib/hw/goodix.fingerprint.sdm845.so
system/vendor/lib64/hw/goodix.fod.sdm845.so
system/vendor/lib/hw/goodix.fod.sdm845.so
system/vendor/lib/libgoodixfingerprintd_binder.so
system/vendor/lib64/libgoodixfingerprintd_binder.so
system/vendor/lib/[email protected]
system/vendor/lib64/[email protected]
lets start here.
Reserved
This one too
Maybe one more
I'm running the latest havoc, and these are the only fingerprint files I have
To understand the problem you have to understand how it works in the first place. The fingerprint sensor is actually working, so its not a blob issue. The issue(from what I am seeing at least) is that stock aosp source cannot differentiate between the fingerprint sensor touch vs the regular display touch. After digging through oneplus systemui you will notice that there is quite a few proprietary things in there pertaining to the touch system for fingerprint. All of which is missing from aosp source.
We currently have 2 options for getting FP working. Either OP releases the fingerprint source or someone reverse engineers the code from oneplus(like what was done with the slider).
EDIT: Since it will be asked anyway how i know its not a blob issue... If the fingerprint sensor was not working correctly Roms would not even have the fingerprint option available or it would crash on load.

Thanks for the input.
I believe we have a long road ahead but we have to start somewhere.

I'm in agreement on this. My LG G5 has a fingerprint sensor and when the battery was getting bloated it was actually lifting the power/fingerprint button off the connector. When it got bad enough the phone just stopped showing the option for the sensor because it no longer detected the presence so even if the files are there Android is smart enough to hide the option if it doesn't see a working sensor.
Yep. A lot of times when device bringup is being done if you haven't done fingerprint yet android will just not show the fingerprint options(in setup or in settings). Usually won't until it sees the fingerprint hardware actually working and connected.

Since you said something about the system Ui I decompiled it.
It looks like everything is in there even the green light.

So in a sense all it takes is someone capable enough to take the decompiled files and modify the system ui apk source code in the rom they are building?
I have the files if anybody needs them there on afh

Yes and no. The main problem is the fact that the code is proprietary. If you release it as is or share it as is you could face legal action from one plus. It has to be completely rewritten. Hence the reverse engineering part. But the yes to it is it just needs someone capable.
few Devs have the code already ..
But unfortunately can't post a rom with fingerprint fix , cause is proprietary or get DMCA'd
So they're working on a fix that's open source to share it...

Systemui in source built roms have fingerprint files in them. May be easier if someone running a open-source rom pulls the apk and decompiles it then edit and put back in device to test? Just a thought but I've been going through everything the only thing I seen so far we need to add is the fingerprint location values and add files to show on screen.
We shouldn't have to rewrite completely as most files are all ready open source and in systemui of aosp source code.
I've been caught up in building a source code rom and trying things but there are far more people that have more experience than I do at the .apk part.
Hope any of this helps.

This what I thought someone should do. Even if someone uses copyrighted code he could still test and see if it works.
I want to continue research on this topic. I'll take a look at systemui and framework-res and try to just test if I can get OP code working on AOSP. Then I'll go from there.
Edit: From a quick glance, FP code seems to be also present in framework-res, so that likely will also need to be worked on.
If you want stock android on your Realme X, you should check out Arrow OS gsi.
If you want to unlock bootloader/root/flash twrp, check out Mod edit: removed
Still some messing features like inscreen fingerprint reader and front facing camera not working, but for me it's a small price to pay for smooth stock android experience.
Here's a couple of images

I appreciate your attempt, but I just can't accept the nonfunctional of front camera.
I uninstalled all not necessary apps in the ColorOS, and it becomes so much more smooth now.
hope in future it will work

Same as others say, non functional fingerprint & front camera are way too high a price to pay for stock android. Unofficial lineage os 16 too is available but with the same issues. Launchers and icon packs doing the job for now. Kernel sources are out, so let's hope the fix soon.
