If I root, will the fingerprint scanner work?

Quick question guys, I read mixed feedbacks on this one.
I really love openness of Android and I always prefer root access on my Nexus devices. But I have read at a few places that, if we root our nexus 6p, fingerprint scanners might not work. Is it true? Will there be a possible solution to make fingerprint sensor work even after rooting in future?

It works on my note 4 I don't see why it wouldn't. On the nexus

Thanks for your reply

Should work a treat! Cool feature.

Once we have root, is it possible to port Note 7 Camera over?

Hey all. I love the Note 7 camera program. Due to that and the fact that the front camera of the V20 has no flash, can the note 7 camera app be ported over? It looks like to me the Note 7 front flash is software based and not an actual flash. Correct me if im wrong.

No.

Not at all.

As I understand it, the Samsung camera is pretty tightly bound to the Samsung ecosystem.

Separation anxiety?

Screen flicker at low brightness?

Just wondering if anyone else notices screen flicker at low brightness on the Oneplus 5. I noticed it immediately as I was setting up my phone, and while I haven't used an AMOLED-equipped phone since the note 7 briefly last year, I don't remember seeing it on that phone.

It is because of AMOLED.

Is it all the time or only when there is animation?

All the time. I've actually gotten used to it pretty quickly though.

AMOLED has that problem. Not an issue for me, but try this to see the effect.

I've completely gotten used to it now - don't notice it at all

I just enrolled and 30 seconds later checked for the update and it is downloading now! Wow that was fast!

Sweet, I was waiting for the OTA.

Not much has changed other than the nav buttons "dim". Really hope they make the nav bar transparent and allow to auto hide in ALL apps.

They enabled hd calling. Before the speaker s/speaker phone sounded HORRIBLE and now it's good.

While I'm greatly disappointed that soli is not working... I've read somewhere a patch in January will address the issue.
Aside Form that, I'm quite happy to use the phone as is for now. Form factor + stock android is very important to me.
