Anyone know if we’ll be able to use the in-display fingerprint scanner with customs roms with this phone? How will all this work?
Curious about that indeed.
I read in some review that the fingerprint reader is available through the standard google API and can be used by any application.
However, since the visual effect is configured in the ROM, it's puzzling.

I know it’s likely we won’t get the visual effect, but what about the green light that lights up which is required for scanning the finger?

About the only thing I could see myself missing a rear camera for would be scanning things like QR codes, bar codes, etc. Is it safe to assume that Barcode Scanner, Google Shopper, et al, would be able to scan using the front camera? I realize it might be a bit tricky at first because you wouldn't be able to see the screen well, if at all. With practice, though, I think you'd be able to figure it out.
"My impression" is that a front camera is addressed differently than a back camera.
Barcode scanners and camera apps might not work with the Nexus 7 without software modification.
For now, it remains to be seen how useful the front camera will be for other than video chatting.
Anyone verified Skype works with this yet?

Barcode Scanner+ works with front cameras

Hi, I'm an author of Barcode Scanner. It doesn't use the front camera since only rear cameras are treated as 'real' cameras by Android, and the API for using second cameras appeared later than the API leve the app supports (2.3), which makes it tricker.
We made a 'premium' version that does, among other things, support front-camera-only devices like the Nexus 7.
Search for "barcode scanner plus" on Google Play -- sorry I can't posts links yet
Before I got my Nexus 6P in the mail, I've read that the fingerprint scanner can be used for more than a fingerprint scanner. I read that other functions that it might be used for include:
1. tap the fingerprint scanner to act as a shutter button when taking selfies
2. scroll in webpages or scroll in your photos gallery
I'm primarily concerned with the 1st use-case. I tried it, and it does not work on my Nexus 6P.
If someone could please respond and tell me why, or even better... How to make it work this way, that would be very much appreciated. Or at least tell me when this functionality will be arriving if its impossible to do currently.
Thanks in Advance !
I think those were just ideas being tossed around add to what else a button in that location could be used for. To my knowledge, it doesn't currently work for anything other than a fingerprint scanner
Well the function you are talking about comes with other Huawei phones like Mate 7. Unfortunately it dosent come with the 6P.
Probably some one will come with an app but you may have to root in order to get it. Hope that answers your doubt
You can press the volume rocker to take photos with either the front or rear camera. This works in Snapchat as well.
Thanks for the tip
Hey I know this is a little old but I recently released an app that lets you do just that. It is called "Imprint - Fingerprint Camera" on the play store and allows you to take selfies using the fingerprint sensor WITHOUT root utilizing the Nexus Imprint API
I just got my Honor 7 and I like it a lot! It's a cool feature that the fingerprint reader supports gestures, but I don't find the preset function very useful. Instead I'd like to use it like a universal scroll both horizontally and vertically. It would be great if it's possible to use it in any app just like swiping the front screen. That way one could scroll through websites etc while seeing the whole screen.
I'm new to android development, so I wonder if it's even possible to achieve? Would it require low level programming or is it accessible through some api? Is it possible to make an app that catches the gestures and transform it to what I want, or would I need to root the phone and hack on a custom rom?
I will probably not have time to implement this, but I'm curious wether or not it's possible. If anyone else is inspired by the challenge, you're welcome to hack along
Did you find anything??
Sent from my EVA-L09 using XDA-Developers mobile app
swipe left and right for skipping music would be a great feature too.
somebody knows if its possible?
Sorry, didn't find anything. I still think it would be a killer feature, but I'm not sure how accurate the sensor is. My guess is that it would be pretty hard to hack it, and it's far out of my league.
if you have a look at your finger sensor menu, you can see, that both directions (up and down) are used for other functionality!
I think it is impossible to use this fingerprint otherwise without getting trouble with it.

Actually, both directions are optionally used for other functionality. This is what got me thinking that it might be possible to catch the swipe gestures, but use it for something else. Don't really know where to start though. As you say, it's a big chance to get trouble with it, conflicting the other behavior etc.
Hi,
Is there any way to install double tap to wake up directly in the leeco le pro 3 without installing apps from Google play store?
dont understand why do you want this function? it uses lots more battery power compare to the finger print reader at the back. i used to have DTW function with other phone, but with Lepro3, use the reader if lots more faster and easier. at save battery.

It's not possible, without a custom kernel...
Submit a feature request via the feedback app on the phone. I requested a long list of changes, including an equalizer in settings and fingerprint scanner gestures.

I think It's ver functional, specially in ther car. I remember i got it in the first one plus device and the battery consumption wasn't a problem.
Has anybody determined yet what level of support the RH1 has for Daydream VR? ie...
* Official support?
* No official support, but appears to "just work" perfectly fine with Daydream anyway... controller works, phone's NFC recognizes Daydream headset, and Google Play happily shows Daydream apps as being downloadable
* No official support, and phone seems to be able to be coaxed into working perfectly well with Daydream apps you compile & build yourself... but Google Play doesn't recognize it, and refuses to show Daydream apps (at least, unless you do some hacking to trick it into letting you see them anyway)
* Dysfunctional. The controller isn't recognized, or some other fundamental problem means you can't even get your own apps that use the Daydream framework to run on the phone.
* ???
Likewise, has anybody tried using self-compiled apps that use ARcore with it to gauge performance? I'm particularly interested in the latency you'd get with it if you just wanted to take the realtime preview image from the rear camera and render it into a Unity scene as a background texture. When I tried it with my Nexus 6P, the latency felt like it was around 500-800ms (ie, so intolerably bad, the room felt like it was sloshing around like a swimming pool during an earthquake... totally unusable for "synthetic augmented reality" where you use the rear camera for the realtime view & overlay the AR imagery onto it, as opposed to "holographic augmented reality" where you look at your surroundings directly & have AR imagery projected/reflected/overlaid onto it by some other means).
