Anyone know of a simple way to add a screen lock to the Nexus player similar to a phone where you can enter a pin to gain access to the device? I see the parental controls, but that still allows you into the device. Would be cool to have face recognition or voice recognition to unlock nexus.
Thanks,
It really depends on whether the apis are there or not. Try side loading next lock screen

Hey Guys,
Does anyone have any experience writing a phone un-lock application, because I have a kinf of a neat idea for a replacement lock screen (i.e. pincode).
The problem I am having with the pincode lock screen on HTC Touc Cruise (not sure if the app is common to all WM6 phones) is
1. Under sunlight its difficult to see the UI when the phone is locked
2. Its difficult to enter the pin on a touch screen while your phone is not stable (e.g you are walking etc)
The alternative I am thinking is to have an app that instead of typing the pin code would recognise swipe guestures, i.e. like mouse guestures in some desktop applications (for instance a swipe code like left, left, up, down)
Any thouhgts,
-CUser
SOunds somewhat similar to organic lock.
Maybe you should try this.
Organic Lock looks interesting, but my concern is, wont it suffer from the same drawbacks as the default pin-code unlocker. That is under bright sunlight you might not be able to see the shapes.
what i was originally thinking was that if your unlock swipe pattern was left up left, you would enter it as a left swipe, then up swipe, then left swipe.
Anyways I will give Organic Lock a try and see.
cheers
I know there is a lock function by holding the right triangle down and you can set a lock in the menu by unlocking the phone with a PIN number
But I just want the phone to lock after say 1minute, but then I can unlock it by doing left softkey right softkey, just like I would when unlocking after a manual lock.
Any ideas?
There is an auto lock but it is pin controlled for access to the device, I havn't found a simple (no input for a set time) autolock setting. Thats one feature I miss from my p1, If I forget to lock the X1 before putting in my pocket it does all sorts of things on its own, calander is open, mail is open, its probably been phoning strangers etc; lol.

Yep its so annoying and holding down the lock button is too much like hardwork lol
Love the fingerprint unlock locked-screen feature. However, it has it's drawbacks. Can only be activated via - PIN lock. How you set up a pin,and after that it gives you the option to use fingerprint as well.
My question is : how do i use fingerprint only!? No more pin just the finger.
Best part about fingerprint is that you don't have to use the physical button. if the screen is off / locked just hold finger and it opens.
Also. I am now using Action Launcher 3. Super launcher. But it does not allow the function to unlock via fingerprint. Does anybody know if this works ? Where is the setting ?
The pin is used to unlock your sim card, the fingerprint is used to unlock your phone's system. If you don't want any pin code, you can either remove the sim card (well, it will probably be a little bit annoying when you want to call someone ^^), or set the pin code to blank. I don't even know if this is possible, actually.
As phones usually ask pin code before system unlock (fingerprint or other), you probably cannot have a third app that would allow to use fingerprint as pin, as it would have to start before the system. Unless I miss an idea, I think you can't do what you ask.
Figured that it has an automated backup just in case the finger is not recognized . You either get the pin or the pattern. Never just the fingerprint. There is no way around this.
Another question: how do i get the list of apps to go in one single page. Right now With ZenUI launcher there are a few pages. Action launcher 3 has one page (option). ..Is there any way to do this with ZenUI ? I got back to the default launcher from Asus cuz of the fingerprint. it's kinda cool to have it. Even tho Action Launcher 3 is amazing.
What's the problem with Action Launcher? I'm using it with fingerprint unlock and it works just fine.

Clearly you only assumed things only from the setup screen.
OF COURSE in this phone we only use our fingerprint to unlock the screen. No buttons, No pins, No pattern.
If, that is IF, the phone can't recognize your fingerprint for 5 times in a row (because of wet finger, wrong position, dirty etc) it will then requires a pin or pattern unlock. This is why the setup ask you for your pin/pattern first.
Hi all of you
I got rooted exynos note4... i need fingerprint app for my lock screen. Which one do you prefer? And why.. it can be not only for lockscreen
I am running a Note 7 port on my Note 4 and I use AppLock.
I do not use it's lockscreen feature (it does have it included) because I think the Note 4's fingerprint reader is not well suited for unlocking the phone (IMO, because it can be tricky to unlock when handling the phone with one hand)
Instead, I have my lockscreen set to "swipe" so I can do basic stuff like switch the volume or turn toggles on and off at will, as well as double tapping the home button to open the camera from screen off phone.
I have most apps locked behind my fingerprint reader, that way nobody can open any app and a fingerprint lockscreen doesn't get in the way when I just want to mess with the volume or some basic stuff.
Applock also has a feature that it will only ask for your fingerprint once per unlock (until you turn your screen off), so that way you don't have to swipe your finger every single time you open an app (PRO version, not expensive at all)
Another reason that 3rd party lockscreens aren't that great are because:
1. Not all of them will allow you to use the screen off memo, I think Hi Unlocker doesn't let you use the screen off memo unless you unlock it with fingerprint, which can get annoying
2. There is no 3rd party lockscreen (to my knowledge) that will allow you to double tap home to open the camera app. All of them WILL require you to unlock it with the finger-print or turn the screen on and then swipe the camera shortcut. To me, this is a deal breaker since I take a lot of photos, most of the time to things that happen pretty fast and losing a couple of seconds to unlock the phone and/or swipe the camera option builds up and gets annoying.
But overall, the most used (that I've seen) is AppLock and Hi Unlocker.
Good luck, both are free to try anyway so I'd test them both to see which is to your liking
In OMNI ROM for 8.1 the fingerprint capture is delayed slightly. Similar to the Z5 Compact. In my opinion the lightning fast fingerprint reader renders the lock screen useless and what used to be a quick display of information is now just a blur as my phone unlocks. This then prompts me to perform several other actions to retrieve/view the notification. Not to mention the music apps lock screen widget to skip tracks is now useless because my phone unlocks before I have time to interact with the lock screen.
How adding a delay in fingerprint recognition could be accomplished (if at all) on the stock firmware for 8.0?
Does anyone know if there is a delay parameter in some part of the system that can be modified?
What controls the recognition of the fingerprint scanner (kernel or android system)?
I know what you are talking about but a workaround is to press it with a finger nail or a finger that hasn't been setup like the little finger of your non-dominant hand.

Yeah that's the short term fix but I want a longer term fix if I am to use this phone for a few years.
Clarification on question:
I guess I am wondering what piece of the android operating system controls the scanner.
Is it the kernel or is it one of the few android fingerprint applications?
Any suggestions on this would be helpful so I can begin looking into a solution because I like the fingerprint scanner in the power button but I just want it to distinguish between me powering on to see the lockscreen/check time/change music or me actually wanting to unlock the device.
