Fingerprint scanner emulate home button? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Is there any way to make my fingerprint scanner into a capacitive button when the phone is already unlocked? Google turned up some options that say there are apps for Samsung devices, but anything for the axon?

Yes you can. There is an app here on xda apps called Fingerprint quick action. I already have it installed and default action is to toggle notification bar. Home is also an option.

What's your hit to battery life?

None, I still get more than 6hrs of screen time (2 days of use).

That app works beautifully, thank you!
Just to throw my own thread off topic, is anyone else surprised that we're creaming the pixel for onscreen time?

Amazing app. I hope in the future it can be set to Back button functionality so it'd be easier to use the Axon at night. I'm still having a hard time pressing Back or Recent capacitive buttons in the dark.

I'm using the Pie Control app for that - so I don't even have to stretch my thumb down to the bottom of the screen, just swipe in from either bezel. I'm gonna try the Fingerprint Quick Action app - but what happens when you accidentally brush the sensor as your fingers are fumbling around the back of the phone like my fingers often do?

The Pie Control app from the Play store only needs root if you're using some of the special functions (menu) - it works just fine without root.
Also I set this app to turn off with the scanner and don't have problems until I play games and have to move my hands around the back of the phone a bunch. Was frustrating to keep having my screen turn off in the middle of Asphalt 8. Maybe there's a way to make a quick toggle widget for gaming mode?

[Q] Volume Button Wake

I'm looking for a simple app that allows the the Atrix to be woken up via the volume buttons.
I know that there are several other apps, but they all center around removing the lock screen, or replacing it. I *want* the lock screen, I just also want to be able to use the volume keys to wake the phone up.
Is there ANYTHING out there like this? Just this SIMPLE function? I'd even use a bloated app if it allowed me to use the stock lock screen.
Just try widget locker. You can customize it so it can be simple like you want it.

I gave it a try, and it *almost* works like I want it. I use the fingerprint to unlock, and if you have both the pattern and the fingerprint set, it appears as though after the device wakes up you still need to swipe the screen. This is a hassle. Maybe I'm missing something in the configuration? Also, it appears that WidgetLocker is laggy as hell.

I'm not sure why you are upset?
I asked for an application that allowed me to keep my factory lock screen, and NoLock does not do that. If you have "NoLock" enabled, then the volume keys wake up the phone... they also UNLOCK the phone. If you disable "NoLock", you have the lock screen back, but the volume keys do not wake the phone.
Maybe if you had actually read the post, you would have realized why I responded the way I did.
I know there's an app for it. But I can't remember.
One thing is if you have tasker set context volume buttons, task screen on.

This app right in the FAQ section says, "Can I use the standard Android Lock Screen", and the answer from the developer is no... Still not what I'm looking for.
Any luck finding that?
WidgetUnlocker now allegedly supports the finger print scanner of the ATRIX. I have found it unreliable at BEST.
I'm waiting for another release to see if the capability gets more stable.
The problem with wu is that it's canceling the slide to answer and that renders it useless.

Nolock will prevent full lockscreen but allow to bring out of sleep mode via either volume buttons or power button. The timed sleep mode in settings will put phone to sleep.

Got nexus 4. Few questions

I bought my nexus 4 yesterday. I rooted it and now after 2 days using it I have some questions:
1. Is it possibile to personalize the notifications center by adding buttons. I miss so much the silent mode switch button from my galaxy s 2 with android 4.1.2
2. Is it possible to automatically search for contacts from the phone screen typing the letters of the contact we are searching for. In nexus 4 you can search for contacts only by the search screen
3. It seems that the only way to make lock screen appear is by pressing the lock phisic button. Is there an althernative method?
thank you guys
1. Download POWER TOGGLES from play store and you can have Data, Wifi, BT, Screen rotation, Torch, Volume changer to hi-lo etc.
2. Not exactly that but you cn download exDialer and search contact by clicking alphabets which are on numeric keys.
3. I NEVER use power button to turn screen on and off. Rather I use Screen ON & OFF app from play store.
And I am not rooted.

Thank you very much guys. filthykid, I can't find Screen ON & OFF app in the play store. I just found some apps that lock the screen. For unlocking I think is required root and touch control, isn't it?

Does it have the unlock screen with swype option? I mean, as touch control does with slide2wake

The touch control features are not ROM related. You will need a compatible kernel. The touch control app offers you a stock kernel with module support to enable the slide2wake features. Or you can flash another custom kernel like francokernel or trinity, they also support touch control. The stock CM10.1 kernel does not support touch control.

can u tell us a app that doesn't use proximity sensor for locking and unlocking phone and DOES NOT require root. In short app that have features like tap to wake,slide to wake but without needing root?
To avoid using power button for screen off (I Hate using power button) there are couple of options.
1. Touch control - But I think requires root and specific kernel
2. Lots of apps which give shortcut on screen to sleep
3. I dont know about stock but some ROM provides go to sleep option in toggle shortcut
4. There are apps (Intellicover, tap tap app, smart screen off, smart cover) which uses proximity sensor to do that. Either Tap or hide etc in option to do that.
Recently I bout flip cover for my N4 and using smart cover app which works great. Wakes up and sleep with cover open and close. I removed lock screen too.

There was one of this name.. I used it initially but it didn't work so I deleted it. Then I started using Screen OFF and Lock (Donate). However you can use its free version Here.
And for waking up the phone without using Power button, I use Smart Screen ON.
Screenshots attached for reference. I am also attaching an extra SC to show Power Toggles.
Hit Thanks, if this helped ppl
Hi guys. I tried the "non rooted" version using Smart Screen ON for waking up and "the rooted" version with Touch Control. I can conclude Touch Control is a way better because Smart Screen ON makes the phone wake up and unlock when it is in the poket. How is you experience?

Never happened with me. I "sometimes" vibrant when i am holding it in my hands and just moving it here and there but that has no effect on my battery. I easily get 4 hours OST. Which i used to get even when the device was new and empty.

You can turn off hard keys. (sm-p600 mk1)

Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.

Le pro 3 gestures

Hello, are there any gestures for turning on screen in le pro 3. For example as lg smartphones when double tapping the screen turning on. I find in the setting when you press long to back button it goes to sleep but there is not same gesture for wake up. I am using stock rom.

Nope. I miss that from other phones too. There are 3rd party apps that technically do double tap to wake (dt2w) but they basically only by keeping the screen on non-stop and just turning the brightness all the way down. I wasn't a fan of the few I've tried. A custom kernel mod could allow it, in theory.

Well that's because you need to unlock it. Try disabling the option "Power button instantly lock" and it will go to home screen right away in one swipe.

Interesting and thanks, I will give it a try but mind you, you cannot use fingerprint while the phone is on the table with screen facing up, can you? And using the fingerprint defeats the purpose of using this app and in fact you don't need this app or the ACDisplay if you can use your fingerprint.

Yep, I am trying it now and I think my first impression is it being more responsive than ACDisplay both in wave-to-wake-up and pick-up-to-wake-up features. Double-tap to wake up phone does not work at all but rather use to go to home screen once the phone woke up similar to swiping up or down. Notification glance could use some improvement, I like ACDisplay's tap to glance and swipe-down to get rid of the notification. I will check the battery consumption of this app over night.

Any app to turn s10+ screen off?

I know guys, there are a ton. But so far I found only two kinds:
- Some completely block your phone, not allowing you to unlock with face or fingerprint.
- Some -idk why- turn off the screen and randomly turn it on inmediatly after. This doesn't happen evertime, but it's a problem cos if you have smartlock activated then the screen is on and phone in unlocked...
I just want a way to imitate the power button single tap function. I don't like pressing physical buttons, I use a gesture to turn the screen off before putting it inside my pocket. And yesterday I pocket-dialed two people...
Nova has a double tap to sleep function, and greenify used to have a short-cut to the same thing.

So i initially tried using Nova double tap gesture. It would turn the screen off but a second later it would go to the lock screen. Now i use Good Lock by Samsung and i actually like it a lot. In Good Lock go to the the "Family" tab - (no idea why it's called this) and then select One Hand Operation +.... I created a Small Right handle that turns the screen off when i slide it. Works great and i have yet to activate it by accident.

What region are you in? Weird, because it's an official Samsung App... let me know if you can't find it and i can post the apk for you... Also, make sure it's the 1.0.00.46 version, as they just updated it to work with Pie.
I also am desperate for this feature. Tried all of the apps and all of them go to the lock screen for some reason. I contacted a couple of developers but idk if they can do anything. Tried the one hand gestures and it does work but the thing is I still prefer double tap to lock instead of those swipe gestures. I think this feature should be natively supported like on almost every other android phone.

I use Nova for that: ||>>>Gestures & Inputs>Home button>Screen lock(uncheck "only on main home...")
then go to 'Gestures' below, click "Swipe up" and also check "Screen lock" Now, I use 'Full screen gestures" for nav bar already, so that Nova gesture setup is not messing up the nav bar gestures but rather compliments it. Example: I have some app open on the screen and swiping it up(w/o Nova) in the center would bring me to the Home screen(and that is being mimic w/Nova too) then the second 'swipe up' locks the screen. Simple, quick double 'swipe up' from any app does the trick, if you are on the home screen already then you just swipe it up only once.
I also use full screen gestures. The problem is not the gesture. The problem is that I need an app to turn off the screen. There are like a hundred apps that do that. But they all have one of the two problems I said before.
I'll look for the good lock in a bit. I have to find the apk.
"there was a network or server error. Try again later. The mapper function returned a null value"
I'm getting this error when I open good lock. Apparently it's not supposed to be use in Argentina. I'll try Nova launcher now.
