Is there a way to mod the finger scanner to scroll up and down pages or change. Music by swiping up or down

Indeed it is. All you need is some java experience. If it's not too difficult, I may do it myself! I need to brush up on my java anyways for pre college credit.
Edit: thought about it a bit longer, may not be the same implementation you think making it a bit hardet. Since I don't have access to a computer for three more days, ill think about it a while longer.

We should also come up with a cm7 compatible app since the stock one doesn't work

Not to be disheartening but I think that the fingerprint sensor isn't always on as it is so if you do what you want it will probably be at the cost of battery power although I'm not exactly sure how much it would affect it if even at all.

Indeed.
Also FP is something totally new in all phones. And don't know if there is a function that detects in which way you are moving your finger.
FP Sensor its like a camera, that it took pictures when a finger slides on it.
Eg when the phone is locked with screen on, it is activated, and when it detects a finger, it pictures it.
Good luck if somebody makes it!

I'm gonna say no. there is no open access to the fingerprint sdk from motorola which has made it difficult to use for non-moto apps such as widget locker. it's difficult just to enable the fp scanner on outside apps, accessing its functionality further is even less likely.

The fingerprint scanner is made my Authentec and the SDK is freely available from them. http://developers.authentec.com/
However, I doubt that it exposes which direction the finger was swiped, and I'm pretty sure it's only on when the screen is waiting to be unlocked.
I had a Toshiba laptop with fingerprint scanner which supported scrolling. But it is possible it scans more than 1 line at once so it would know which direction you are sliding. I doubt that would be the case with the Atrix one but would love to be proven wrong

Is there any way to use the finger print scanner other than its designated way. Such as scrolling up and down websites? Or is it impossible?

"Swipe finger to access the folder"... or to change personal settings, or to confirm the transaction (oh wait, we don't have NFC, maybe 2nd gen Atrix)

this would be sick
You know i never thought of using the scanner for other uses but what a great idea!!!
Would be great as a trackball replacement....even though it would probably be just up and down...
Seems like lots could be done with it if it was possible...
Good thread idea! =)
that sounds like what moto used to have. the backtrack thing that was on some earlier android phones with motoblur.

This just in: Face Unlock, a new feature in Ice Cream Sandwich. No more PINs or patterns. It uses the camera and runs some face reconigition magic on your face to determine whether to unlock or not.
Here's the ICS release video: http://www.youtube.com/android
I think this is an awesome feature. It kinda makes the fingerprint scanner on our beloved Atrix a bit redundant, or no? All provided that we will be able to run ICS on the Atrix in the first place.
Not a fan of the new UI design in ICS by the way... Most of the other improvements seem really, really sweet though. Watch the video.
Your thoughts?
P.S. The above link is the live feed right now. If you're watching this later, the Face Unlock feature should be around 0:30 in the video.
nevermind.....
My fingerprint scanner will never be useless.
It's only as good as it works and it didn't during the demo. Lol. Anyways that phone looked mighty nice.

Lol that's true. It wasn't the only thing that didn't work either. Murphy's law I guess We will see.
I still want either a pin or pattern option. The face recognition didn't work properly at the event.
Hopefully there will still be a pin pattern for those that rather want it...

Erm, the Fingerprint scanner takes half a second, whilst the face unlock takes like 4 seconds according to the video. Plus you have put your face up to your phone so you look like an idiot.
I still like the fingerprinter better... just saying though... If the iPhone came out with this first though. It would have been a world wide break threw with technology... Its kind of sad how little attention Android gets with break threw.. dang apple fan boys...

I wonder if the Atrix can handle 4.0. Hardware acceleration would be awesome.

Fingerprint scanner is quicker and won't suffer from lighting issues, glasses on/off etc
My bet is also this will be vulnerable to the *hold up a photo* trick that so many single camera face detection systems are.
I am looking forward to some of those updates though, task management looks nice.
I wonder if someones photograph could unlock that.

which is why fingerprint scanner is better IMO >.>
I just hope we quickly do get ics... I was sure I was gonna abandon the Atrix ship and go to the nexus... but after seeing the official specs of it only having 1.2 TI processor and just a 5 MP camera... ill stick to the atrix for now... then go for the galaxy set to have that beautiful amoled HD display instead...

There's an app in the market called visidon that uses facial recognition and works quite well. The problem is when you're in a dimly lit room or at night. There's no ambient light so nothing shows up to the camera. The wow factor to my iphone friends is high but I found the low light issue a pain in the a**
Is there any way to do this? I think it looks really ugly. Im on cm7 ics mod2

Fingerprint sensor isn't currently supported by CM7, it's best to disable it.

OP maybe you would be willing to try WidgetLocker. WL is a paid app but many people prefer it to other lockscreens, it supports fingerprint scanner and is very customizable.
I have used WidgetLocker and it is a great app. Great customization. There is also GOLocker or WP7 Locker. Both free and offer something different than a stock lock screen. It just depends on your preferences.
I use the CM7 lock screen with rings and a custom background. Disabled all things to do with the FP sensor. It was nice at first but now is more a gimmick as not even Motorola is trying to support it anymore.

P.S. It seems like the screen doesn't get locked if the screen is turned of from this app I mean it wont lock even the screen time out period passes.

If u continue searching for these proximity apps u will get many cool apps...u may get one that changes songs with proximity or if u want to turn on your screen with proximity then install smart screen on but it is useless and draws too much battery.
Just for information purpose I post this here.if u have any problem then tell me.I will remove this post.
Remember its not legal to download and use pirated apps.u must support the original developer by buying his app. Do not apply this method unless u are in danger to lose your life .
OK so here it is...
1.Google blackmart and download the appk.
2.install it.
3.u will get the paid apps free here.best pirated appstore after applanet)
I repeat again ...don't use this method unless u are in real emergency .

Since this is going to be my first phone with on screen buttons which I consider a stupid idea I am wondering what can we go with this back bar embeded at the bottom of the screen, Can we make it smaller?, will it be removed in games? Can we add extra buttons or ever widgets to it? Maybe ever make it pages so when you swipe over it it will reveal a rss feed or something. Any ideas on what can be done to make it helpful rather than a hinderance

Once custom roms start rolling out you will be able to change the DPI of the bar.
AOKP i expect will support this feature as they do in current JB Roms
