Does custom fingerprint gestures works for some custom ROM? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

There are several apps available on the Playstore, but as an example: this one. You could try others too (except Fingerprint Scanner Tools, that it works on OEM ROM but the service is killed)
I ask it because I need to automate things on Tasker, and I want to know if this ROM has unlocked API for the Biometric sensor about gestures (swipe up, right, down...).

Yes, that. But I need that 3rd-party apps, having Tasker integration, can access the API. The ROM could have its own access by private classes.

Regarding the automatically lock !?

Hey guys , is there any way to turn this option off completely? i hate it when my phone locks By itself.
i want this option completely off (im using the nexus imprint function, it's really cool but i would like to completely disable other phone locks..)
is it possible? like i just want to use the fingerprint (i use it only for the convenience of unlocking the phone, not for the "security")..
hope someone can help me with this I'm rooted , have PureNexus + Kernel AuditorMod installed.
the phone is encrypted (so if i was actually to decrypt'unencrypt' the phone, would it then get rid of the auto lock features? but would i still be able to use imprint?)

I use Xposed and the module FingerprintEnabler.
This module bypasses the requirement for a password at boot and only requires a fingerprint.
I never notice when my phone is locked.

you dont want to autolock itself when exactly? if you have an android wear watch, you can just set "Smart Unlock". it'll bypass security whenever the watch (or any other bluetooth device of your choice) is connected to the phone.

Fingerprints still installed but it will never ask for a manual password as long as your fingerprint works.
It will not require a password even from a cold boot, only the fingerprint.
The fingerprint works so well I never really notice my device being locked.

i found something even better !! it's called lockscreen disabler (it's a module) it completely ignores all security pins or whatever other is set and finger print works nicely on it
thanks for your assistance!

How to handle Auto-start permissions ?

Hi,
Everything is in the title : How to handle Auto-start permissions in OOs 4.5.3 ?
I didn't find a menu for that.
With my old phone, I used to use Bootmanager, but without Xposed I can't use it anymore.
Any piece of advice ?
BR
I would like to know this as well, memory management (start up/background use/keep awake) is huge in controlling battery life.
I need Xposed for 3 apps: Boot Manager, GravityBox, and YouTube AdAway...
So, no option in OOs ?

Thank you. I'm using SuperSU PRO... will check if magisk can run with it together...
LBE Security Master can handle Autostarts perfectly. I use it to control permissions and for autoboot on my OP5. Rest of options I've switched off. Works like a charm. If you need APK just PM me.
You need root (of course)

I'm interested, is it an English versoin ?
There are large threads about this program here on XDA. For me this is an understandable piece of software. I found others too complicated or PMP (Xposed) that didn't work on my Sony Z3 Dual.
LBE does this job. Download from XDA or send me pm for apk.
Has anyone figured this out?
I vaguely remember seeing the option in settings - apps - cog - auto start in an earlier version of OOS?
Is this removed or moved somewhere else?
OnePlus 5 apparently has a new feature of auto starting apps based on usage, but that seems to be a load of *@#! cos none of my most used apps launch on boot
The option still exist but you cannot access it through settings.
If you're an Alarmy user, the app give you prompt to that page whenever you confirm an alarm setup (interestingly).
If you don't, you can download JOneplus tool from play store which also can lead you to that page (by force touching the app)
And no, I'm not affiliated with either or both of the above apps in any ways.
If you use nova launcher you can create an activity to point to manage centre where you can see the auto start apps, however it does not work at all for me but your mileage may vary.
I use the app Autostarts which works perfectly
Hi

Replaced this app with Apex Shortcuts (may not be exactly the same label as I translated them from French :angel :
- Shortcuts / Activities / Management Center / Application Auto-start (.chainlaunch.view.ChainLaunchAppListActivity)
- Shortcuts / Activities / Management Center / Hibernation Application Parameters (.cleanBackground.view.ManageBackgroundAppListActivity)
If someone can provide me the real label in English, I'll update OP

So tried this for the last few days, but looks like it doesn't seem to have any effect?
I have apps like LMT, greenify, ex kernel manager set to start at boot and settings in the above and other apps but they don't seem to start up or apply the settings. In fact the toggle in LMT even gets turned off at boot and have to manually get into any of the apps and restart them.
I am assuming the others don't see this misbehavior? Do you have aggressive doze and/or doze turned off?

[App] [Xposed] AOD Customizer Module

Not mines. Just sharing this useful module I found that is working fine on our Note 9. Allows flashlight without unlocking the phone, which I could not find any other method to my liking, along with some other cool features.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/aod-customizer-module-t3760487
Obviously requires root.

I tried a few apps and methods including goodlock. I Uninstalled, though I can't remember why. Maybe I'll give it another go sometime.

Missing fingerprint reader

Does anybody know how apps that use your fingerprint to login will be dealing with the situation that there is no longer a fingerprint reader on the pixel?
Thanks
Nick
Face unlock.
Hi @sic0048,
Thanks for your answer. This is exactly what I presumed. I was wondering if any apps which are now using fingerprints for logging in, will work straight out of the box. Or will the app developers have to program in support for face unlock. In other words will for example banking apps work directly after the pixel4 is released or will one have to wait till these apps (and it is quite a few) are updated.
bye
nick
I'm not a developer, but my guess is that the unlocking is always handled by the phone, regardless of method. The app is told when it is unlocked, not how. So I suspect it will work out of the box.

The API will probably be a generic biometric check which could be fingerprint, face, voice or whatever. It would be over complicated to specify a particular type, rather that the secure service in Android trusts the process used. There is a section in security for trusted services
An exposed mod allows you to trick all apps into using face unlock. If your OK with rooting your phone then the problem is solved.

how will finger print unlock apps work?

i have a number of apps that unlock with a fingerprint. are these not going to work on the P4?
I think they will ask for face unlock. And maybe you need to touch some button on the display to "start scanning the face" (and this should take 1/3 of a second) and not accidently authorise a purchasing without additional manual action.
As for the apps, they should automatically adapt to this. I don't think is something a dev need to do (unlike the stupid Pixel Visual Core which, afaik, is something devs need to manually add support, and that's horrible implementation for Pixel users).

We'll have an article on the Portal explaining this situation soon.
The apps use a biometric security API, they do not know that a fingerprint reader or face Id was used. It's a trusted service that negotiates and approves a security test. The Android OS provides the security authentication not the app
I'm also pretty curious about this. I had set up most accounts to use long crazy passwords Google suggested becuase I didn't need to know them for my fingerprint scanner to work.
Actually I have a few apps that use fingerprint to unlock and now with the pixel 4 they won't work. 2 bank apps and a password manager. When I open them the fingerprint option doesn't even come up. I have to use a password.

That's exactly how I thought it would work. Apparently this is not the case.
All of my bank applications switch to pin code verify, or password depending on the apps capabilities.
If there was an api (didn't check) then either the app devs decided not to use it properly or just plain hacked the bio Auth directly somehow.
