The fingerprint scanner is really cool and useful for some people, but I personally don't really care to have a security measure like that. That said, I prefer using the scanner as the unlocker instead of the screen unlocker.
Not sure how many people would actually want this as an option, but would it be feasible to add the option for any swipe to be accepted?
Uhm. That's what it does now. You slide your finger and it unlocks.
If you want it to do it without registering fingerprints, no you cannot do this and you wouldn't want it to, as it'd unlocked whenever something brushed against it.
I don't need the added security either, but I also prefer the fingerprint reader to unlock. The only downside is that if I need my gf to do something for me on my phone she has to use the unlock code, but that's no big deal.
I wish the phone would turn on when you swipe. that power button is damn hard to push. why is is recessed in?

I meant it to be a mod type option. I know it's not an option from the factory.
It wouldn't unlock every time something brushed against it because it would still require a press of the button. I honestly don't know the tech that goes into a fingerprint scanner, but it's not just a pressure sensor, so it wouldn't work with just anything touching it. It doesn't even respond if it's through cloth like a shirt, so I'd argue that the screen is more likely to unlock the phone accidentally than the fingerprint swipe would be.
I'm assuming this could be a fairly complex mod, so it's probably not worth the effort it would take. Still figured it would be worth throwing out there for anyone who might be able and willing to give it a try.
Thanks for the responses so far.

When you setup the fingerprint scanner it has you enroll your right index and your left index. Why not enroll your right index and your GF's right index?
Hah, this thread brought an idea - imagine if the fingerprint sensor could be used as a touchpad - you'd just swipe down to scroll down a browser for instance

Thats what I thought the OP was going to be about when I saw the title. If there was a mod for that I'd isntall it instantly.
Thats if I get the Atrix of course.
Use a launcher like Any Cut to start com.authentec...NavigationConfiguration.
Emulation: trackball. Rotation: eALT180. NAV Mode: Enable.
Have fun.
New life in an old thread...thx for ealt180 tip!

can someone guide me a little? tried to do it but failed right away. already installed anycut, found the app on Activity, selected it but then what? cause it auto closes after i open it.
fixed!
old android 1.6 and earlier had by default screen unlock by just pressing a button (g1 has menu button). android still has that function but its disabled, perhaps it can be assigned to the "trackball"?
Hello Guys,
I found a way to have a seamless experience with the OP2 fingerprint sensor. When adding a new fingerprint always ensure that you touch the sensor in all directions with both the thumbs. This way you will be able to unlock the phone via both your thumbs. Hope this helps.
Cheers.
you could always just add a second valid fingerprint with your other thumb...

OP's way is actually better, the reader gets slower when it has to scan for multiple fingers.
Is it possible to assign a finger print to open an app? Is there a mod for this or is it in marshmallow somewhere?
I want to have various fingerprints unlock into different apps. Or while my phone is unlocked using my middle finger to open Google. My ring finger to open camera, etc...
Can't find anything in my reading so far... Any point in the right direction would be sweet.
Bumpy bump bump.
I'm wondering if there is an app that can do this too.
Is there a way to register your finger print on the device without using an actual secure lock screen? I like just having the swipe Lock Screen, but I like using my fingerprint to sign into certain things, like my bank app. This was possible on the Note 7, but I can't seem to get it to work here.

NO. it is not possible as it is related to of the finger print reading sensor.
