Fingerprint reader is not working on any cm12 based ROMS; you'll need to use one of the samsung based roms if you wanna use the fingerprint reader.

Does this still apply anymore? CM12.1 has been receiving fingerprint updates recently .

I have been wondering about the same thing. But i think they are just experimenting and testing to be prepared for the release of "Android M". And i hope someone can implement it.

They are missing because of no driver source released by Samsung.

S5 A Health Issue

I own a g900t1. I have successfully installed many custom roms. And one consistent problem is I can't get the sp02, (oxygen saturation ), to work on any rom everything else works. However I have never seen the uv test. Shrugs . I have tried global s health in xposed. And I am pretty positive I get a no effect with the app. I have Googled and searched xda and it not a wide spread problem. Any ideas on what I should try would be appreciated . Let me know if you need more info. Ty for any Help. When I run the test sp02 it just says measuring with no results just keeps going it's infared light works and the meter is spiking.

Active fingerprint reader

Hello everyone!
I just had a look at the new A5 2017 because I want to buy one for my mother and a feature that was very nice and useful was the active fingerprint reader. Just rest the finger on the home button and the device wakes right from the Always on Display.
I am running android N with the new Grace UX on my S7 Edge and i was wondering if there is a setting somewhere i can enable to be able to use this feature.
I know some people will think is useless, so is no need to comment for no reason.

A5 with new hardware... soooo nope. We dont have that on s7 edge.

That is sad. I was really liking the feature ,hope somneone will figure out how to add it later.

It's only a workaround, but downloading Always on Amoled from the Playstore is working just fine. Fingerprint is always on, no need to push it, and you get double tap to wake, plus other useful features. Definitely worth a try

it's the same hardware, only Samsung is the usual ****. improvements only on new smartphone to increase the sales

Already tried this method , but the battery drain is huge. Maybe someone will figure out how to do it exactly like the new A series.

probably sure someone will make a way to have the function also on s7, but the problem is that there will need root to work

Was going to say that having the reader on constantly may cause some form of wake lock.

i think we have to be satisfied with what we have cuz u simply cant do anything to it...maybe rooting a device and then flashing some mod if there is any would help a little...just for the record i also noticed very bad and non consistent reading...it fails more than my 2 ex xperia phones z5 and xz...u could try registering fingerprint again but with no guaranties.

Mine works very good.... Register again

Thanks folks, i will try to re register my fingerprint.

Questions about moving over to the Offical Pixel Experience(Simple/Plus) ROM?

Im planning to move to pixel experience plus for my daily driver lavender phone, but i need to be 100% sure that there wont be any bugs or features missing?
To the people who are using Pixel Experience ROM permanently...is there anything that you lose when you move over to Pixel Experience from Stock MIUI?

If you are going to use it as a daily driver, the current PE Plus is more than enough for it, it have everything working, not the best but it does have a good SOT and Battery backup. Thing you lose compared to stock I guess will be the navigation gestures of MIUI, cuz PE Plus have the screenshot gesture (3 fingers slide), maybe the built-in App-block and of course the stock camera. But anything else than that, if you like Pixel Feel, then the ROM will be good for you for daily basics. Bugs they might happens but just minors things as it's a ROM being maintained you will be getting updates really quick.

Moved over to it yesterday after i posted this question and im loving it, you're right the SOT is way better than MIUI and just the snappiness is amazing, im using fluid gestures which brings back those nav gestures and is customizable so better than stock again!
For camera im using both ANXCamera and Gcam. Overall nothing of value is lost by switching over except i have to manually switch off my screen during calls coz the proximity sensor isnt working for some reason.
So if anyone reading this who's scared to move over, just do it. And if you're worried netflix and other services wont work, magisk has you covered

Yes I do use GCAM and ANXCamera too, also for PE Plus Magisk is always welcome, but for overall use the rom is very fluid and stable. About the proximity, is not about the ROM is RN7, somehow this sensor might fail or might work randomssly, just reboot till it work again, or some others recommend some calibration app, I don't remember the name but you can search in the PE Thread. enjoy the rom :good:

oh ok great! Thanks

@LordBuckshot Try turning on the 'Pocket detection' option in 'Settings' > 'Display' if your ROM has it. Restart your phone to see if it helps. This trick works for many users.

May I ask, what version of ANX you are using since, portrait mode is not working even with that fix. Thanks.

dont have that option in any of the settings....
it works with whatsapp voice messages though, and sometimea during calls too after a restart, but not all the time :/

which is the biggest difference between simple or plus? beasides that plus isn't official i think
