Hey guys i was wondering once the gs5 is rooted by chain-fire most likely, your going to want to install roms. But will roms devs be able to support the scanner
Course they will, the finger print scanner won't have anything to do with the kernel....

Typically aosp based roms do not support any manufacturer special features. You would have to stick to touchwiz roms

Ok cool
There's no way this question can be answered with an degree of accuracy until people get their hands on the code...

Is there any way to use the finger print scanner other than its designated way. Such as scrolling up and down websites? Or is it impossible?

Im more caring about second unlock for text message!
"Swipe finger to access the folder"... or to change personal settings, or to confirm the transaction (oh wait, we don't have NFC, maybe 2nd gen Atrix)

this would be sick
You know i never thought of using the scanner for other uses but what a great idea!!!
Would be great as a trackball replacement....even though it would probably be just up and down...
Seems like lots could be done with it if it was possible...
Good thread idea! =)
that sounds like what moto used to have. the backtrack thing that was on some earlier android phones with motoblur.

Is there a way to mod the finger scanner to scroll up and down pages or change. Music by swiping up or down

Indeed it is. All you need is some java experience. If it's not too difficult, I may do it myself! I need to brush up on my java anyways for pre college credit.
Edit: thought about it a bit longer, may not be the same implementation you think making it a bit hardet. Since I don't have access to a computer for three more days, ill think about it a while longer.

We should also come up with a cm7 compatible app since the stock one doesn't work

Not to be disheartening but I think that the fingerprint sensor isn't always on as it is so if you do what you want it will probably be at the cost of battery power although I'm not exactly sure how much it would affect it if even at all.

Indeed.
Also FP is something totally new in all phones. And don't know if there is a function that detects in which way you are moving your finger.
FP Sensor its like a camera, that it took pictures when a finger slides on it.
Eg when the phone is locked with screen on, it is activated, and when it detects a finger, it pictures it.
Good luck if somebody makes it!

I'm gonna say no. there is no open access to the fingerprint sdk from motorola which has made it difficult to use for non-moto apps such as widget locker. it's difficult just to enable the fp scanner on outside apps, accessing its functionality further is even less likely.

The fingerprint scanner is made my Authentec and the SDK is freely available from them. http://developers.authentec.com/
However, I doubt that it exposes which direction the finger was swiped, and I'm pretty sure it's only on when the screen is waiting to be unlocked.
I had a Toshiba laptop with fingerprint scanner which supported scrolling. But it is possible it scans more than 1 line at once so it would know which direction you are sliding. I doubt that would be the case with the Atrix one but would love to be proven wrong

You could start by posting in the right section.
Then add a link to the feature you're requesting.

Im not a dev so i cant do it but here are some possible work arounds. You could assign take screenshot to one of the gestures in Apex Launcher so pinching in or two finger swipe would do it. Or I have it assigned in my navbar ring (i think most JB ROMS have this) its close to a gesture I just swipe up from the navbar and it takes a screen cap. Hope that at least gives you something similar until you can work out a real port.

Google needs to put it in aosp as soon as possible. I wish they didn't kill off cornerstone as that was originally going to be part of cm but google told them to cease and desist.
Google would have to develop that from scratch, because that's Samsung-proprietary code.
Also, I hope that Google does NOT clutter up Android with stuff like this, for this we have ROMs like PA (which is already stuffed full of features that it barely works as a daily driver).

Paranoid android was great when it was based on cm. Its in 4.2 when they tried to go aosp and make their own tweaks that it became a mess. They need to go back to cm or switch to AOKP(uses CMs main code).
It wouldn't be that difficult to implement multi window. The cornerstone code would be a good starting point and android apps already scale to different resolutions without an issue.

You need to refer to the other annoying threads asking the same thing. You want multi window, get a note 2.

Hello Guys,
I was wondering if there's any Good and Less Irritating Fingerprint Security app for S5?
I need to lock some Apps like WhatsApp so what's are the Best options?
With cool features.. I tried using an app FingerSecurity (or similar) it was sort of irritating.. Because if my Device gets locked while using WhatsApp and i open the lock with Fingerprint.. Then it again prompts me to put Finger Print and when i scan again.. Nothing happens..
Please help me out.. And yeah my device is not rooted.

I don't think there are any apps for FingerPrint Security. If there is I wouldn't even trust that app. It's a good chance it's fake, or it can take your idenity.
Samsung should do it!

This is not true. Apps that use Samsungs fingerprint scanner don't get your fingerprint. The only get to know if the fingerprint is one of the fingerprint that are registerd.
Also Samsung does not save a fingerprint but a hash.

That is okay. I just want you to know that your fingerprints are not vissible to the apps which use fingerprint unlock
