Hello, I flashed the latest CM7 weekly which enables the FP sensor..
The menu shows it as an option under security... but the FP sensor doesnt seem to register any swiping.
I have attempted to wipe data/ cache/ and Fix permissions... However, these did not resolve my issue.
I was wondering if anyone had any advise as to what I can do next in order to enable the feature back.
I dont think that my sensor is 'broken" because it was working just fine before starting to use the CM7 roms for our phone.
Thank you for your support!!

Hi - I'm very new to the forum and less new to custom ROMs and software.
In the last few days I installed solk2's unofficial CyanogenMod port, 20140711 root build. Went well; overjoyed to be rid of Samsung's bloatware. Thanks!
Since then, updated to first 20140808 and now 20140813. Used CWM recovery (installed via theunlockr dot com/2013/12/09/install-custom-recovery-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-i9506shv-e330s/) directly instead of CM Updater - updater downloads the builds but when it reboots into recovery to apply them the process there cannot find the build file to install.
I've noticed:
1) When making / receiving calls, the face sensor doesn't appear to work any more - before CM, the sensor would notice when the phone is held to my cheek and blank the display, and light it up when I move the phone away. No longer.
2) The front start button doesn't appear to wake up the device from sleep any more (maybe I've missed a setting to toggle for that?)
3) the CM updater doesn't appear to work, as mentioned above
4) CyanDelta doesn't know about this set of nightlies I think - I've tried it a couple of times and it doesn't pick up deltas
5) the power button doesn't wake the device when it has darkened due to being on a call; instead it may cause the device to flash its screen up but then immediately darken again
1 & 5 make it quite difficult to control the phone during calls. Initially I thought this might have to do with ShakeCall, but the issues persist after uninstalling that.
I've cleared my cache and dalvik cache after the most recent flash to 0813.
I should say, this is relating to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767448 and I'd have posted there but I cannot yet.
This is still an issue for me with cm-11-20140909.
Is there anything I can do to help find and fix these items?
Is this the right place to ask, even? Does @solk2 work?

Proximity sensor fixed a long ago. There something wrong in yours phone. Install this recovery. Then try clean install of latest nightly or SNAPSHOT-M10 and set update recovery in Developer settings. Recovery you have has different mount points so thats why it can't find updates.
Delta updates isn't supported though.

Thank you very much - I'm running 20140914 and the proximity sensor now works during calls.
Hello. I have 2 questions for you. 1st is i flashed pacman rom to my device. After that my proximity sensor killed. I formatted my phone and flashed previous rom. Proximity still not working. I tested it with sensor tester. It says your phone not allows proximity. How can i fix it?
And second question is, how can i back to stock system on g7? I cant install system with dload. Thank you all!
Hi,
When I try to register my fingerprint it says continuously fingerprint hardware not available,
Now, I know that my fingerprint sensor is working beacause it was woking ok but I wanted to add more fingerprints to make it more accurate, and when I tried that it kept saying that hardware not... So I deleted all the exisiting fingerprint and now I cant register any.
Did wipe cache partition and tried to clear data from com.ztefingerprints.service but it's greyed out.
I want to avoid factory reset, or clearing the phone data.
Any solution?
Edit: stock b32
Thanks
Which rom, dirty flash the ROM !
Stock b32
I'm with g model on custom rom, just reflash the ROM from sdcard, your data should stay.
Hi, which version are your phone in, A2017 or A2017U? Seems same problem with my phone......Have you tried flash your phone?
A2017U stock b32, not custom rom.
What do mean flash my phone, can I do that with stock rom?
Will it delete all my data?
I hade that problem before I ota update to b32, and still have it..
Thanks for your answer！ You can back up your personal data to your phone'account，then try to factory reset.
I am having issues with the fingerprint sensor reading my finger but I was able to add a new finger.
Thank u guys,
I've found a fix!
For some reason "don't keep activities" on developer mode was "on", turn it "off" fixed the issue.
Glad to hear that, good luck!
Thanks for the tip, I had the same problem, but thanks to you it is solved.
I flashed AOSP extended Pie rom in my cool1 dual indian version. Then I decided to roll back to official stock EUI 5.8.017S. Now I am facing few errors like; when I try to add a fingerprint it shows error as, 'Can't store fingerprint. Delete the existing one first'. I don't have any previous fingerprints on the device. I did factory reset but no avail. Also, the proximity sensor is not working. Magnetic field and auto rotate are also not working.
I looked for a solution in 4pda forum(I can't share the link as I am new user). They had the solution but the files were not accessible now(maybe removed).
Can someone help me in this matter? If possible, please share the persist section for sensors.
So I flashed lineageOs 17.1 unofficial build on my phone earlier to test it out. After booting into it, I realized the fingerprint sensor wasn't working so I flashed the stock rom using odin. After boot, fingerprint sensor still didn't respond and when I try to add a print, I get an error,"make sure the home key is clean and dry, then try again.", so I used the dailer code (*#0*#) to run sensor diagnostics. The results are as seen attached. Is there anything I can do about it? The home button still works fine so I doubt its a hardware problem. If anyone has a fix for this i'd be grateful for you to share.
