Apps that utilize fingerprint scanner

Have you guys heard of or found any apps that use the scanner? I found one called Last Pass which is actually pretty good. But I want more.

I use the Finger Security app which allows you to pick the apps you want to use the fingerprint scanner to secure when opening.

Cool app. Thanks for sharing the link.

You can set this app up to use your fingerprint to login instead of entering login credentials
Check out "LastPass Password Mgr Premium*"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lastpass.lpandroid

With LastPass you still have to enter in the primary password since fingerprint reader support is for reprompt only; or am I missing something in the settings? Any advice on how to set it up?
Edit: Never mind. Needed to set never log out option in addition to the fingerprint reprompt option.

Now you can lock your mobile apps using your fingerprint.
• No Peaking in recent apps
• Fully optimized
• No battery Drain
Note :
• you must register your fingerprint in your device
[Settings]> [Security]> [Nexus Imprint]
• Turn On Accessibility Service , this app will not work without enabling it.
[Settings]>[Accessibility]> turn on > [App Locker : Service]
• Enable Device Admin to prevent unauthorized uninstall.
[Settings]> [Security]> [Device Administrators]> turn on > [App Locker]
Please let me know your thoughts and review.
paid version will be uploaded soon.

I've installed and will give feedback.
Needs a timeout. Once you open an app it should record that the app is open and if you switch tasks it should not lock you out until a timeout timer has expired.

I just released pro version without ads.

@ tech_head thanks i'll definitely implement that feature

How about sorting and filtering by enabled/disabled apps?
Other than that, this app is just friggin' incredible

Awesome app. Purchased.
Request: Would be nice to have a widget or option to enable or disable the app lock feature. When im home i dont want it on. When im at work i do. Right now i have to uncheck all the boxes one at a time. A toggle to turn on and off the ability without losing ur app selections would be nice.

Might I suggest an alternative suggestion? Whitelist WiFi BSSIDs, so app knows when it's at home, therefore doing things automatically.

Does the pro version only included no ads??

App is really good! Just gotten the paid version to support you! Prevent friends and family from assessing my data!

Request: would be nice to be able to lock apps without having to have a security feature enabled on the device. I just like swipe to unlock but would like to protect some apps

Same here, I don't use a lock screen but would like to lock apps.

Thank you for your efforts, but may we find a way to lock app by fingerprint without passing lock screen fingerprint register?

fingerprint api does not work if you have not registered the fingerprint in nexus imprint , so at this time it is not possible.
but if google allow this in future , i'll definitely implement this feature.

No. Because that takes away options. What if I'm having a party at home and give my phone to a friend to check out a funny pic or leave it on and open with Spotify playing to my audio system and people can chose a song. I'd rather then turn the feature on at home so people don't snoop.
It shouldnt be location based... It should require positive user intervention for the sake of most flexibility.
And to make sure someone else doesn't turn off the feature themselves, when the widget is pressed to turn app lock on or off, it asks for finger print as verification to make sure it's you that tapped it.

I have some Google Rewards credits, I will use them to purchase as well.
Some feedback. It should be "No Peeking" not "No Peaking".
And after install, the "App Locker: Need Permissions"
"Locker" is spelled as "Locer"
Unless that was intentional for some reason.
I'll give you some more feedback as well.
Sorry to be a "Grammar Nazi", but people don't trust apps if they have spelling mistakes etc.

i am really happy that you found these mistakes. today i'll be fixing that , and some more optimization.
Here is the future plan.
update 1= some performance optimizations. (today or max tomorrow)
update 2=UI improvement + option to add interval between next lock. (and some custom features depending on your feedback ) (this weekend)
update 3=password + pattern locking. (next weekend)

I think what we're missing here, is a false screen of some sort. My girlfriend absolutely hates that I'm friends with some people, and likes to snoop. Instead of blatantly requesting a finger print, maybe add a plain black screen that has a "unfortunately this application has stopped unexpectedly" or what ever the default force close message is, with no visible request for a Finger Print, but the scanner is ready and waiting. There's an app on the market that does this, but I'd feel better paying a developer on xda than a company thats probably data mining my "hidden" apps. Cheers!

Things to know about the Honor Note 8

I got the idea to create a topic about important things to know about the Note 8 such like in which country the LTE/4G will work and in which country not.
Real on screen time, tips and tricks to bypass certain issues and some other interesting things to know about the phablet.
I will update the main post everytime when something new is found and keep it up 2 date for users so everyone can see a quick fix or a quick answer.
If you have a fix for anything or information to update the list, please provide it in the reply`s so i can update the main post.
4G/LTE works in:
The Netherlands
Canada
UK
Germany
Spain
Poland
Greece
Russia
Australia
Switzerland
Indonesia
Things to know
Max recording resolution is not 2160p as said on the internet but max 1080P.
If you unlock the bootloader it will give you a warning when you boot up the phone saying your phone has been unlocked and can`t be trusted, this is normal when you unlocked the bootloader.
Only 1 of the 2 simcards can use 4g at the time, so there is no 4g for both of the simcards at the same time.
Hold power and volume up when starting the phone to get in the E-recovery menu.
There is only one version of this phone, the chinese one.
This version is called the EDI-AL10, and all the languages are provided on the phone.
Some websites who are selling this phone are telling that this phone misses certain languages such as dutch.
This is not true, every language is present so no worries.
Playstore is not included on the phone, you can simply download it from the HiApp which is already pre-installed on the phone.
The fingerprintscanner can take up to 4 fingers, the fingerprintscanner only works when you activate an unlock code or password to get out of the lockscreen.
Latest rom version is B029.
Previous B027
Previous B022
Previous B017
Quickfixes/Tips and tricks:
Push notifcations
To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.
The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.
Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.
This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.
Homebutton changer (provided by kalinskym)
To disable HiVoice to allow a different application/ shortcut to work as the Home Button without being rooted. Download Debloater from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and disable HiVoice.apk. (com.huawei.vassistant) After you have done that you won't see HiVoice anymore and will be able to change an app/ shortcut to the home button long press by going into Apps in Settings, clicking on Advance at the bottom. Then click Default app settings and finally Assistance & voice input to change assist app (home button app/shortcut)
One handed mode
To activate one handed mode drag you finger on the navigation bar from left to right to make the screen smaller and using for the right hand.
And drag it from right to left to make the screen smaller for using it with your left hand.
Once activated drag it in the opposite way once to restore full screen or tap once on the screen above that isn't in use.
Knuckle gesture/Splitscreen
To activate "Knuckle gesture" or just splitscreen, swipe your knuckle in the center of the screen from left to right or right to left.
When doing this succesfully the knuckle command will activate splitscreen.
Knuckle gesture/Advanced screenshot
Touch (knock) your knuckle on the screen and keep touching the screen, there will come a blue sparkle once activated drag a circle or square and it will give you a selection field.
On top are some figures you can choose from.
You can now select the part you want the screenshot from and save it directly on to the phone.
Double tap your knuckle on the screen to make a full screenshot. (same as volume down+power button)
Drawing an S on the screen with your knuckle will create a screen shot while it scrolls down the page.
This wil create a screenshot with a larger screenshot containing all the footage on the screen.
Now you don't have to make multiple screenshots to get everything on the screen and down.
(Check screenshot in the attachments)

Please let me know in which country you guys are and if 4g/lte works in your country so i can update the 4g/lte list.

Huawei just released a beta app for android M, does anyone knows what we can do with it?
Version says Android 7

To disable HiVoice to allow a different application/ shortcut to work as the Home Button without being rooted.

This is useful information. Thanks for that! I have been having an issue with the fingerprint reader taking a second longer to unlock when the phone goes into a deep sleep; However, whenever the screen is recently turned off or when the phone is charging and I try to unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, it works super fast. It's only slow when I initially wake the phone from a deep sleep. Has this happened to you/anyone? I think it may either be an app or marshmallow doze feature. I would appreciate any suggestion/advice. Thanks.

I don`t have any delays with the fingerprint, however i use Smart Unlock to bypass the fingerprint in trusted locations.
Did you already tried to remove the old prints and register new?
Only thing else i can say if thats not working is to factory reset the phone.
on what powerplan did you put your phone? And did you toggle answer calls with fingerprint.
Sounds silly but if thats disabled there is a possibilty that the fingerprint app goes in sleep while activated for answering calls could keep it alive....Always worth trying...

I tried removing the old fingerprints and replaced with new ones. I even did a factory reset. The factory reset did it. That's what leads me to believe it's more an app than marshmallow doze. I just don't know how to identify which app. I even played with turning on all the features of fingerprint scanner. I am on performance mode. It's not a HUGE deal since the phone still unlocks faster than others, but it's a nuance since you know the phone is capable of unlocking faster. If you can think of another recommendation as to identifying the app or cause I would be grateful.

Hi, 4G works in Russia.

I think an easier way to change the voice assistant would be to download the Microsoft Clip Layer app. When it asks you to Tap on Assist app click on that setting and choose something different. I had already had HiVoice disabled when I downloaded the app so if someone else can confirm that it will work I'm sure someone would appreciate it.

4G/Lte works in Melbourne, Australia on Optus

4G/LTE is working fine in Switzerland! (16ms ping, 89Mb/s DL and 20Mb/s in UL in the alps)

Thnx guys, post updated!

Hi, I did a factory reset and confirmed that the Microsoft Clip Layer app does allow you to switch the voice assistant. It is a much easier process than disabling the app and does not require a computer hook-up.

Fingerprint Applock which can use specific fingerprint?

Our device can have upto 5 fingerprints. Does anyone know if there is some app that can lock the apps only with the fingerprint I specify.
Like for eg. I have 5 fingerprints of two different persons and I don't want the other person to unlock a specific app through his/her fingerprint.
Instead I specify that say that so and so app will be unlocked through Finger 1.
Is this even possible??

I dont think any such feature exist in Android. I had this feature in my jail broken iPhone where we can assign different actions for all registered fingerprints. I am also looking forward to get this feature in Android .

Question Cloned Whatsapp problems with fingerprints ...

Hi to all,
someone has tried the "Cloner App" of Oppo and trying to clone Whatsapp ??
I have a problem: cloning occurs perfectly and I can use the copy of WHTASPP perfectly. But when I try to go to "connected devices" (in WA) to enable my PC to access my account, biometric authentication with fingerprint is requested. I put my finger on sensor and it does NOT recognize my fingerprints.
It is not a problem of fingerprints because they work perfectly with all the other apps and access to the phone.
I tried to record new fingerprints, but nothing. It doesn't recognize them in Whatsapp cloned.
Someone had the same problem I have?

Yup same story here. Its like fingerprint reader ignores my fingertip
Previous way of using whatsapp web or desktop was to scan qr code...now I see "linked devices" option instead with fingerprint access.
There is a workaround for it:
- remove all your fingerprints
- whatsapp will.ask u to put code (lock screen)
- link web/desktop app
- add fingerprints agaib

Yes....it's a possible solution, but the applications that use the fingerprints what happens to do (bank, etc ...) ??
Usually when you change fingerprints there is a process of annoying re-authorization.
Thank you very much for your test and your availability!!
I will try this solution in a few days and I will update the thread

Yes thats true but in my case (2 banking apps) it took avg 3 seconds to.enable it again. Please keep in mind that linking device in whatsapp is done only once. So aftet that you have to.reenable biometrics in your banking apps only once...and all should work afterwards.

I just did as you suggested and I can confirm that it's a workaround that works!
But I hope that OPPO adjusts this annoying bug in the next releases...
Is there a way to signal the presence of bugs and malfunctions directly to OPPO?
I come from OnePlus and in ColorOS 11 I found many bugs like this!
Maybe too many bugs ...

Not sure. I moved from.OP6T and it was easy to raise a bug on the community site. Here I have no idea but i found few annoying ones as well.

so it's a problem in this app uses parallel space
that has a beautiful interface, is fluid and known
