Huawei's other flagship phone Honor 7 has some of the craziest features, i was wondering if most are software based, like the tap and swiping gestures in the similarly positioned fingerprint scanner behind for notif. bar pull down or page scrolling etc etc... is it possible to implement it on the nexus 6p? i reallyy hope someone says yes.
I've been wondering the same thing. The 6P's scanner is the same square sensor on Huawei's other devices, I would think the software features just need to be implemented somehow.
Wondering that too. Would love those gestures on nexus 6p

Saw the google live cases (not great imho, think your corner drugstore might be able to create something similar.) BUT I did notice it adds a cool function that launches your favorite, or most used app, with your fingerprint. Looking around but havent found any apps/ mods that do this. Is there currently a way to launch apps with the fingerprint scanner? Thinking this would be good for the camera...
Is this what you want to do - fingerprint as take photo button - http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/selfie-camera-how-press-shutter-button-t3239304
There are several apps that are suppose to work with the fingerprint sensor to add gestures, but I think because the Note 4 has the older swipe fingerprint method, none of them work.
Is there a way to make use of the fingerprint sensor?
I can already create gestures other ways, but the fingerprint would be useful for gestures such as scrolling, volume control, media playback control etc.

I was looking for it, too.
I think it needs a new API, which comes only in Android 7...so, Note 4 hasn't received Nougat, the old API won't work for gestures or actions using the fingerprint sensor...only to unlock the phone.
Don't know if Nougat custom roms for Note 4 have the new API implemented, if so, then it will work...since these roms can offer fingerprint unlock like stock roms...
Can we have inbuilt scroll through fingerprint? Like we have seen in pixel devices.. that feature will make android oreo the most of it for our device.. what say?
No, the fingerprint sensor on redmi 3s does not support scrolling, no matter how much you try that feature is impossible to get
I jumped on the bandwagon of the prime day PH-1 and picked one up. I ran through all of the updates and turned on the fingerprint sensor gestures but they aren't working. fingerprint for unlock works just fine though. I've rebooted several times and done a hard reset to no avail. Am I out of luck here?
Thanks
If you updated to Android Pie you have to enable gestures. Burried all the way in the system tab at the bottom of settings.
What do they do? I find the sensor is not in a good place for gestures.
I love the apps oneplus gestures and hide nav bar though. Gives same gestures as op6 and hides nav bar for full screen.
Shame they are not built in along with double tap to wake and skip lock screen after face unlock.
On the Essential its just to pull down the notification shade.

I was just about to start searching for this feature. Coming from the Pixel 2 XL I realized I didn't really need it but just wanted to have it lol. This phone is really nice too bad there won't be a second one
Hey guys.
When the OP6 originally came out, it had Always-On Display enabled which was then ported back to 5&5T because Oxygen OS was so similar on the devices.
Just a shot in the dark here, could the same logic be applied to implement navigation gestures on the OnePlus 5 natively? (XDA's NAV Gestures is good and all, but still).
If not possible, feel free to explain why to me. I want to learn something from this.
