Is it possible to lock apps with a fingerprint? if yes, how?
upppp
Well in theory it is, but I doubt you can do this currently...
What I mean when I say it's possible in theory is that Samsung allows developer to use the fingerprint (they released the api), so all you need is some developer to make a security software where you can lock the app and use fingerprint to open

I am using NFC Task Launcher so the NFC tag in my car disables the Lock screen (at least I'm trying to)
It doesn't seem to unlock the phone at all. I'm running the Stock ROM, but am rooted.

It's using the Keyguard API to temporarily hide the lock screen. The lock is released if the app is killed by the system or manually. Any chance this is occurring or you're running anything else memory intensive that may be pushing it out of memory?

I think I found the solution. I think I was sometimes closing the app in the pull down.
Same problem here. I'd be interested to learn your "fix". Thx!

The dismissal of the lock screen is going to be released if the app is killed either by the system or by the user for resources. There's nothing that can be changed right now since it's using the Keyguard API. I'm looking in to alternative solutions to get rid of this but Android isn't especially interested in letting apps get rid of lock screens without a bit of a fight.

I'm exactly with the same problem. I think the best workaround is using llama, that can disable/enable the pin lock in the lockscreen, but not the patter, and it doesn't disable the lockscreen, it switches the security to "slide"
Does anyone know if this can be reached with Tasker? I don't have it and won't buy it just to try it out

Hi, I am trying to use dash clock on my S4. I can't use custom widgets because I activated the pass lock but I cannot disable it (probably because of knox).
Am I doing something wrong?

Are you using a corporate email account? Is rooting your phone an option?
No, I just configured my Gmail account. I remember that last week I was able to choose swipe unlock but today I cannot do it anymore. I don't remember I changed security related settings but I cannot exclude I did it.
I'd prefer a solution that does not involve rooting.

I read that the issue may be related to encryption. I recently added a SD card from Samsung but I didn't encrypt it neither the phone.

Another thing I did was the configuration of my university wifi network which required me to install a certificate. I think it is more likely to be the culprit.
Now I just need to figure out how I can disable/remove it and see what happens.

You can clear the credentials if you want (Settings > Security > Clear Credentials), but I'm afraid a better solution isn't available without rooting.
EDIT: Also, you can edit your posts instead of posting multiple times.
Removing the certificates I managed to enable dash clock.
I am still not too satisfied from having to choose between the pattern lock and dash clock.
On my nexus 7 I'm sure I'll use dash clock, but on my phone (where dash clock is more useful) I'd like to have more security.

If you're rooted, I have an Xposed module that enables lock screen widgets when the device is secured (link in signature)

Hi,
While using the camera shortcut from lock screen, I noticed that location tag was turned off.
There is no option to turn it on again from the camera app, using the shortcut.
Using the usual camera app from home screen does however give you the option to save the location tag.
Why is this happening? Does it have something to do with access not provided to GPS without unlocking the device first?
Any way to bypass this?
Thanks! :good:
I can't help you with your question however I can say that your phone doesn't need to be unlocked for GPS to function.
Apps such as Facebook and Google now regularly check your location. You can do it manually on android device manager too.

I think this is a security measure.As you can access the camera without unlock your phone ,that would be quite dangerous.

just as the topic ask ,does any of the updates include a feature to lock an individual app and unlock using the fingerprint scanner?

I don't believe so.. That is the type of thing that will become available in Marshmallow, with the introduction of the native API for any app to call on fingerprint verification. In the meanwhile, you can get other apps such as Applock 2 to lock apps using a pattern, pin or password. If you have a Samsung *shudders* device that app has support for fingerprint verification.. But only Samsung devices.
No idea why, maybe Samsung have an added API in their horrible TouchWiz ROM's.
I just got my 6P and was wondering what real apps use it. I am a last pass user but surely there are more. Searching is a pain with all the fake ones.

what do u wanna do with it?
some applications use it for login for instance
:good:
I wouldn't mind locking down a few apps. I have yet to run across any apps that let you log in. Care to give a few examples?

I use the fingerprint scanner to log into last pass. Works great, and I love not having to put in a password so it can fill in other apps' login info.
Authenticator Plus lets you login with a fingerprint instead of a PIN, but unfortunately, it doesn't work when rooted.
I just switched from keeper to dashlane for passwords. Dashlane uses the fingerprint scanner. I was surprised.
Focus gallery has fingerprint security to lock down pictures in the vault.

Another vote for Authenticator plus. It is a much better 2 factor authentication program than the google offering. I am stock and rooted and able to use it without difficulty. What error do you get? Could it be a Chroma issue?

I'm not sure where the issue lies. I never tried it on the stock ROM since I installed Chroma almost immediately after getting the phone. In the app's security settings, it says "Your device is rooted" on top and the fingerprint option is grayed out, I can only use the PIN lock.

Are you having any issues with Chrome's scrolling performance? I found that Lastpass was causing this issue for me and I had to uninstall it... but damn that fill-in feature was great for the day I used it

Chrome seems to scroll fine to me. Was the issue you were having that it scrolled slowly, or not at all?

I was using that for a while too but the random soft reboots forced me to uninstall xposed. Did you find a way around this?
