Unlock only with fingerprint scanner NO pin/pattern - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello readers,
I want to use NEXT lockscreen by microsoft instead of the default android lockscreen, but the only problem is i cant get fingerprint scanner to work with it.
In the setting of NEXT lockscreen it says to go to system and enable the fingerprint but that requires a pin as well and now when i swype down the NEXT lockscreen
the android lock screen pops up with the pin, so basically two lockscreen and 1 pin. However, finger print bypasses both lockscreens.
So my main point is can i set up a Finger print scanner without a pin or patten and then i will set a PIN in the NEXT lockscreen settings, so basically the android default
lockscreen would be set as none with a finger print scanner and a pin with NEXT lockscreen.
I've read an old post from 2015 about deleting the lockscreen.db from data/system/ using root.
While i am rooted, i tried to move all the lockscreen files from that folder to another part of the storage, no luck.
Paranoid if i delete everything will crash.

Does any Rom have properly working lockscreen?

If you set a security pattern, then the custom rom's show that, instead of showing the lockscreen with data, and show the pattern only when you slide to unlock. That's how Sense does it.
Without that, what's the point of the lockscreen? You have to turn off security to make it useful.
Or does any Rom do it right?
The point of a lockscreen is exactly that. To lock the screen. If you set a pattern lock that becomes the lockscreen. Having to slide to unlock and then pattern unlock is redundant.

In cm7 you can adjust 2 layers of lockscreen settings... for example my Evo is a blank screen when locked.. you can draw on it any way you want but unless you draw the correct shape it does nothing... but that still doesn't unlock it.. I have it set so the gestures only turn on flashlight and sound.. etc... to actually unlock you have to press menu and then your greeted with a full keypad not just numbers...

[Q] Pattern lock, code lock, etc do not enabled on lockscreen

So basically when i try to set a password or pattern lock and i go to the lockscreen it doesnt even pop up, it just unlocks and goes straight to the homescreen. I have Nova launcher installed if that matters, everything else is stock. I've been having this problem for a while now

Go straight to the pattern unlock on lockscreen without swiping LG G4 H815 MM v20d

With pattern lock enabled. You have to first swipe to show the dot grid and then enter your pattern. The pattern grid is also smaller and I found this annoying.
To fix this, I noticed that if you set a pattern and then enable face unlock under Smart lock, it will show the big pattern grid directly.
It stays like this even if you then disable the face unlock.
Notifications are still visible.

Fingerprint reader to unlock & display notifications

I'm on the latest RR, 5.3.8. Finger print function works, but there's no addition settings available to do other things once the phone is unlocked (gravitybox added some additional functionality, but no xposed in 7).
I've tried several apps that let you configure additional functions to the finger print once unlocked. The entry i'm using is 'toggle notifications'. This works, but seems to add significant lag when unlocking the phone, requiring at least 2 taps to unlock.
Any thoughts or suggestions for achieving this? Ideally it'd be nice to do a slow double tap - first to unlock, second to toggle the notification without having to move my finger from the back to the front.
hello try to download the NExt lockscreen in Play store..work wonders for me...
Is this app similar to widget locker from years past?
I don't know if I want a full blown lock screen replacement. When I did have widgetlocker instsalled, i used the same apps as were on the home screen. Layout was very similar. Really all I want to do is use the fingerprint reader as another button. It's far more convenient to tap it once unlocked than to move fingers to the front of the phone to swipe the status bar down.

Fingerprint with Swipe screen lock

Is there a mod or method to enable the fingerprint scanner with the Swipe screen lock? I want to use my fingerprint to wake and unlock my phone while still using the Swipe style lock screen (no pin or pattern).
