Is there an app (or xposed module, or any other thing) that allows me to unlock with fingerprint my Galaxy S5 also with screen off like on iPhone? (obviously swiping, not holding like iPhone)
(Sorry for bad english)
A search would have answered your question quicker than it took you to open another thread.
The answers no.
There is no app or module that allows fingerprint unlock with screen off.
You could press the home button,pause slightly and swipe down over the button once the press wakes the phone. Once you get used to doing it its easy in one motion.

I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything, but is there a way to set my wing to unlock when ever I slide the keyboard open. Kind of like how the sidekick works?
Thanks in advance.
if you press the off button at the top of the device, it will not only button and screen lock it, but if you change the configuration, it will also wake up, unlocked.
You can use slide to unlock, which is an iphone looking lock aplet. It makes regular unlocking prettier, and allows unlocking with sliding the keyboard.
Basically, I wrote a private app that generates a different hex number each time it's run, and you have to use a certain algorithm to determine the answer, then input it in binary with a mini-keypad and press the unlock button. That way I can just show anyone what I'm putting in because if they get the phone, they can't use the same code unless the same random number is the same (its seed changes based on currentTimeMillis() / 1000L) Anyway what is the easiest way to make this Activity launch like the regular pattern lock when I turn on screen? also I don't have a lockscreen by default, not an issue. It has to prevent pressing home/back and has to launch without any delay. thanks
doctor there's a bump in my thread what should I do
this is a very good question
the closest i came to finding an answer was the android lock screen src
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl.../internal/policy/impl/LockScreen.java;hb=HEAD
Yeah, I cloned the entire source, but it was way too complicated for me to find what I needed. Also, what is the difference between these 4 things?
Keyguard - ?
Lock screen - the screen that has the 'slide to unlock' widget depending on your phone/rom
Unlock screen - the screen where you draw pattern, pin, password, etc.
Wake [lock] - ?
I only have 4 softbuttons, volume +/-, and power on my device, and only power makes the screen come on, which shows WidgetLocker then the pattern screen. Both of which hide the softbuttons unless I hold down power, then it shows power off, airplane, and silent options and the softbuttons panel pops up. This doesn't allow me to press home to bypass pattern/widgetlocker, thankfully.
Halp my thread seems to have a case of severe bumpitis. Is it lethal?
Hi
Is there any way to get double tap to wake up feature on note 4??
Why would you want this feature when the Note 4 has a home button?
I would also prefer double tap to wake over pressing the home / power button.
Simply because when double tapping the screen you have your tumb on screen ready to go, unlike using the home button.
Added this feature to my M7 (which I was using before the Note 4) as this feature was not included by default: I had to flash a custom kernel, really loved it.
Using a flip screen at the moment on my Note now , so I have not bothered to get DT2W (as flipping open the case awakes the screen).
Kind regards, Stefan.
I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
another thing is double tapping and going in through the draw password.
when double tap the screen it doesnt give you the option to draw the password. I have to swipe first then I can draw the password which is a pita. any way to enable a double tap to go straight to draw password option? why dont this people test these things?
how the hell do I disable google assistant crap "ok google" ?
1. easiest to do the screenshot with the VOL- button just before power.
2. No.
3. not sure as i like assisstant.

This one can be easier, you can use the quick memo ( Aka Capture + Plus )options and it will take screenshots for you, as i believe holding Vol down will do the quick memo screen shot if its on in the settings under ( Shortcut Keys)

This is to keep your code from accidentally being put in during pocked use if it turns on. I dont believe it can be shut off without some bigger edits to systemui

disable the google app from your app settings.

Or just disable the Google Assistant, if you prefer:
Here's how to disable Google Assistant:
1. Open Google app
2. Tap on Menu (three lines) on top left
3. Tap Settings
4. Under Google Assistant, tap Settings
5. Scroll halfway down the menu, and voila! A toggle to turn the Assistant off.
2. Funny, coming from the G3 I had similar questions. Not sure I need to swipe before entering knock code. Worked fine without on the G3. At least you can knock directly with the screen off, bypassing this, but sometimes I turn on my screen to see the notifications and the extra swipe is an annoyance.
3. Unfortunately if you disable it in the settings, then you lose the "Ok Google" from Google Now. Instead it just prompts you to turn Google Assistant back on. Similarly, if you turn on Google Assistant but don't give it Web & App Activity + Device Information data (which is every app switch you do, every movement of your phone or touch of the screen), then it takes your question but then just *****es at you.
Only workaround I've found for now (probably won't last forever) is to set your keyboard language to English US Virgin Islands, a region where Google Assistant is not yet supported. You might need the root app Language Enabler or some other method to enable that language. Hopefully someone finds a better resolution.
How to lock screen with out power button if i install third party applications finger print or iris not working to unlock phone any idea ?
Not sure of your questions? but you can unlock your phone with face recognition or password. I don't know any other way to manually lock the screen without power key, but if that doesn't work, set the shortest timeout, it should lock itself in 30sec. no matter what, if undisturbed. To go to unlock screen without power button, you can press home screen, about 1 cm from the bottom in the center. Hope this is what you're looking for.

In the Galaxy store think it's called smart edge or something... Only one I found that let's you lock and still let's you use fingerprint without using pin/pattern
