[Q] Fingerprint & AOSP - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I wanted to know if there is any way to use the fingerprint sensor of my G900F with CM. As far as I know it's impossible but it's the only reason why I don't flash CM (or a CM based ROM).
any ideas?
Thanks in advance.. Colin

you can use third part apps to benfit from the fingerprint scanner, its called fingersecurity search for it and try it out before installing cm

thanks but i already knew this app.. it's about the missing drivers in CM .. no app can use the sensor if there's no driver

Yes, that's what you get with aosp ROMs, missing tons of features. Its fast, but at a high cost.

Hello,
I want to install the Cyanogen rom on my S4 but i want to keep the samsung camera apps.
Can I do that? If yes how ? If no, there is a similar application with the same features ?
Thanks

It is not possible, the Samsung camera relies too much on the Samsung (Touchwiz) Framework.

As was already posted, Sammy's apps rely too much on TW. I've tried to get Gear Manager working on CM11 and failed.

Sorry you wouldn't be able to on aosp roms as you need to run touchwiz framework for Samsung apps to work

Sorry to revive an old thread, but would it be possible to get SPlanner to work on the Google Edition of AOSP that is built for Verizon? I know that the WatchON app works with this Developers Edition.

Watchon works on most roms as it only needs to use the infrared not the framework & splanner was designed in conjunction with touchwiz ? Google Edition doesn't use touchwiz so splanner will not work without it

Thanks! I thought that the IR Blaster didn't work with any ROM because Samsung closed the drivers for it.
This was taken straight from the GE AOSP thread:
This is the latest build for the I9505-G Google Edition S4 official from Google/Samsung, I have made quite a few optimizations to the ROM and added the tools necessary to give it the features (100% working features that is) of an AOSP ROM, Google edition does not use open source proprietary which mean's Bluetooth, and most importantly the camera will work way better out of the box since Samsung builds this ROM (Full HDR support, 1080p video recording, no green lines on the front cam)

I figured since Samsung built in the drivers for a lot of things that it would work.

You can use watchon on most roms although you may need the generic peel.apk of watchon to work on all other versions
In regards of Google Edition rom it doesn't have the same features just that it's been optimised to work on s4, so it's a purer version of Android without Sammy bloatware therefore you won't get bloatware to work as it doesn't have the required libs/framework

This feature is not natively available on Gingerbread
You would need to use a 3rd party app
For example you could try

Hm.
I thought this was already a CM feature. It can be enabled in CM7 and above in the developer/development settings.
But I don't know about support in stock based ROMs. You can give the link marcus has provided a shot.

im on cm 14.1 and flashed the stock GAPPS and camera and video work fine for me
I'm not able to access my downloads, screenshots and other media files using apps like whatsapp, Snapchat etc,. But I'm able to access the ones that got saved before I switched to this rom. I didn't have this issue on resurrection remix or the other stock ones. Weird.

Wrong thread. Post in the CM14.1 thread instead. You will get more support there.

those users who came from marshmellow based custom rom to this nougat based rom are facing some problems like yours and other problems like not able to set fingerprint lock for multiple fingers ( more than one ).
i flashed this rom after updating to the nougat soak test version and other users who did this are not facing much issues. one more thing this rom is still under alpha stage so we shoult be patient bcoz the developers are working on it

I flashed it the same way. From the Nougat soak test only.. :/
Anyway, I don't mind living with this as long as the updates can fix it. Have any idea about that?

Well, the best way to do this, is of course by rooting your phone and installing any TW-based custom rom you like. Debloated, deodexed and including any samsung app you like to install during the aroma installation process.

Yeah ive done that already but im struggling to find dark themes and to remap buttons
You should try out resurrectionremix, which is real aosp. As for touchwiz, you can only use a custom launcher, a darker theme and install Google Apps, although that will be all you can change on touchwiz.

yeah i used rr but the camera is not as good this is my problem i know you can make shealth work now on aosp but the camera quality is just not as good thats why i want a dark theme for tw i have managed to remap buttons and get everything else now its just the theme
Regarding camera quality, you can use htc camera on AOSP roms. Ultra fast focus and great quality. The only problem is it crashes here and then..although o hadn't installed it for a while now. So it may be even more stable on newest nightlies. Otherwise it is the best.
Use Dual Boot Patcher app to install ResurrectionRemix in dual boot with your TW-based ROM. If you want to take good photos, reboot into the TW ROM, and for everything else, use RR ROM

Dual Boot is really easy with the dual patcher app
There also are tutorials on XDA for this app, and it works perfectly
