Quick question guys, I read mixed feedbacks on this one.
I really love openness of Android and I always prefer root access on my Nexus devices. But I have read at a few places that, if we root our nexus 6p, fingerprint scanners might not work. Is it true? Will there be a possible solution to make fingerprint sensor work even after rooting in future?
It works on my note 4 I don't see why it wouldn't. On the nexus

l used to be able to use the spen from my Note 10.1(2014) and my note3 interchangeably. Somehow I am no longer able to do this anymore. pretty annoying if you own both devices. Anybody figure out how to enable this again?

My note 3 Stylus works just fine on my Surface Pro..
Not really answering my question though xD
Try taking the stylus out of the note 10 first. I bet they turn the wacom off if the stylus is seated...

With GEL installed, are we having the full nexus 5 experience?

Have you flashed any KitKat ROM? GEL alone can't clone KitKat features.

Yes, I'm on 4.4 stock. And I get the translucent bars on the home screen but not on the lock screen.
But as far as i can tell this is normal and you can't do anything about it aside from replacing the framework.
So this would be the only thing different software wise ,as I said in the opening post?

I did that's why I am asking ... In case you didn't bother to read SOFTWARE. I don't care about screen size, resolution, CPU and what not

Yes your missing o, e, i, n and g. There must be a problem with your spellchecker. Try SwiftKey. Its much better than stock.

And you're missing an apostrophe and an "e" people in glass houses...
But to answer the OP's question, we're missing HDR+, low power music playback, and... yeah I'm struggling to think of any other software differences. Even the 2 differences I mentioned are hardware dependant. And to think I was considering "upgrading".

hardware difference = software difference....multiple features are exclusive, therefore there's a difference

i have just seen the new s6 has the push fingerprint scanner and after using the note 4 useless interpretation of it will there be any chance of modding the note 4 to do the same or is it totally different hardware involved?
Probably not.

I wouldn't think it would work but if it did that would be awesome!

I think its hardware related,I maybe wrong

No way. The note 4 fingerprint scanner is based on a limited line of scanning so need to have a moving finger to scan a whole fingerprint.
S6 and iPhone 6 has a full scale scanner which can read a complete fingerprint.
I wish for the same thing but it is a history. Samsung has change it's sensor manufacturer duo to many complain from user!

I am supposed to be getting my 6T within the next day or so. After I root it, if I want to disable the fingerprint scanner, is that a native feature in Oxygen? If not, is there a root level app or module that will allow us to turn the scanner on and off?

While I'm greatly disappointed that soli is not working... I've read somewhere a patch in January will address the issue.
Aside Form that, I'm quite happy to use the phone as is for now. Form factor + stock android is very important to me.
