Open App/Unlock Phone with Fingerprint Scanner - Honor 7X Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
Anyone know if you can set different fingerprints to open different apps/call a contact etc. from the lock screen? This was a feature on the Honor 5x (I'm not sure about 6x). You could set up to 5 different fingerprints, and I would set each one to open a different app from the lock screen. I've been looking for it on my phone Huawei Mate SE, but can't find it. Thanks.

That looks interesting and it's the first time I'm hearing it .I'm it's not present on current EMUI 5.1 or EMUI 8.0 for Honor 7x not sure about that SE though .I would like to know if it's possible to implement that feature in any way.

Hmm. Well if it's not present on EMUI 5.1 for Honor 7x, then it's probably not present on Mate SE either. It's running the same thing. Strange that it wouldn't be included... Also, it doesn't seem you can use the fingerprint scanner to take you to the home screen either, which is a feature that was on the Honor 5x as well.

It isn't an in built option but you can make it work using external apps like Finger Print Gestures Pro ( available on Playstore) it also has the feature to open apps for a particular gesture like double tap , swipe down fast etc., but I couldn't find any possiblity that allows us to use a particular registered fingerprint for opening an app like Touchid assignment on iPhone.

Smart Key

Hey Guys!
I got myself a Honor 7x and I noticed there is no Smart Key function for the fingerprint sensor like the Honor 8 has. Is there any possibility to implement it in future custom roms or is there an app I can use for this. Because the Smart Key function was very handy on the earlier honor 7.
In general I think there are less fingerprint gestures in the System UI than for the Honor 7.
There could be a possibility in the future, it is a shame they didn't include a SmartKey.

Honor 7x, I can't use gestures to hide an app!!

Hi Everyone,
Honor 7x doesn't come with hide app feature, i tried to find it but seems Huawei not include on EMUI 5.1 Android Nougat 7.0. Just to make sure I'm only one has this issue or you hvee the same? So, any suggestions to operate this feature without third party apps?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Hello...
Two Questions Come To Mind...
1) Are you simply trying to deny access to a person or persons of the Application in question ?
2) Are you trying to hide something nefarious... that your Wife / Girlfriend (Boyfriend) / Kids can't see due to embarassment ?
If your choice is: *Number 1* then you can do it by going to: Settings / Security & Privacy/ App Lock.. Just chose your code.
If your choice is: *Number 2* Then................. You need to..eh... search elsewhere (3rd Party Software).. :angel:

P.S.
Keep Your Device Stock!
Rooting at this stage of the game is a waste of time... the updates you are about to receive far outweigh what you can do with root.. even if it gives you access to something that can gesture hide your app.
And there are no easy methods to return to stock for the foreseeable future..

Try the pinch out gesture on the home screen and you will get a vault like pop up where you can add any app to hide it. There is no password protection though.

Always on display to ONEPLUS 5T

Hi devalopers any one is there to devalop always on display to ONEPLUS 5T in open beta program
Out of context, how to keep the AOD always on like Samsung phones?
Download Glance Plus, pay version allows always on. That what I use. Or Always on Amoled Beta... although last update stopped working and the developer warned about it.

Smart Lock menu

Hi guys,
is there a way to get into the Google smart lock settings manually?
Unfortunately you will only see this menu by pairing a new bluetooth device, then you will get a popup regarding the smart lock settings.
This has been discussed a lot in the xiaomi forum, xiaomi just removed the frontend from all of their roms.
I tried a few apps like Smart Lock Launcher and Quick Shortcut Maker, but they do not work.
The build in feature in the lockscreen settings is only working for xiaomi devices.
Any solution?
No idea?
You're talking about MIUI? For the relatively short period that I used it, it looked to me as if Xiaomi had completely replaced the Android code with their own version that only worked with Xiaomi devices. I never found a way around it. It's one of the many reasons why I only lasted a couple of weeks on MIUI.
same
Likewise, seems Xiaomi only allows their own devices to be able to smart unlock the phone.
Google smartlock seems to be disabled.
I also don't get google map notifications on my lock screen.
Will be my last xiaomi device unless they fix this soon

Don't really know enough to do that - plus I hate having to tinker with things. Wish I went with the One Plus...only issue I had on my One Plus 5T was the issues with the sound recording on third party apps
On MIUI EU I found that if you pair a bluetooth device it gives you the option to enable smart lock for it then you can press back and setup smart lock for onbody / location however smart lock doesn't work.
Even when connected to the bluetooth device / at home etc it still wants a pin if you just try and swipe up.
Pretty disappointing

Yeah, if I'd bought this and was stuck on MIUI, I'd be pretty unhappy. Have you tried it with one of the supported Xiaomi headset devices?

That's what makes me leave miui every time, you can install smart unlock from play store, everything looks like it's going to work but it doesn't.

It's like night & day being back on stock Android. As soon as I started using the PE rom I was overcome with an immense sense of relief, I'd been starting to wonder if I'd made a very expensive mistake by buying the MM3.

[No root] Finally, an app to enable native Lift To Wake (lockscreen)

OnePlus Lift To Wake
TL, DR. Where is the download?
github.com/xubowenhaoren/OPLiftToWake/releases
What does it do?
This is a simple app to enable Lift To Wake for OnePlus 7 series.
It is not the Lift To "Ambient Display" in the stock Settings App; it enables the true Lift To "Lock Screen" like other phones.
Why do I want this feature?
You've probably already known that OnePlus, in Android 10, reveals the notification content on the lock screen after Face Unlock.
But to see those notifications, you either need to:
1. Pick up the phone and unlock with your finger at the Ambient Display. A two-step process.
2. Pick up the phone and press the power button. Again, a two-step process.
Now with the app, you can pick up the phone and the lock screen immediately shows up.
How does it do this?
It listens to the native system sensor (`oneplus.sensor.pickup`). In my testing, it is very power efficient.
What phones does it support?
I have tested this on a OnePlus 7T with Android 10. It should also work with other OnePlus 7 series.
Note that for earlier OnePlus phones, there is also a [pickup sensor] but with a different name.
If you want this app to work with earlier OnePlus phones, you should try replacing this line in `Utils.java` with the correct sensor name:
```
mSensor = Utils.getSensor(context, mSensorManager, "oneplus.sensor.pickup");
```
How do I use it?
You probably want to turn off the Ambient Display first.
After installing the app, turn on the "Lift To Wake" toggle.
You should also consider turning off the battery optimization of the app for a more consistent background performance.
Do I need Magisk for this?
No, it is root-free.
Credits
Much of the code is from the Lineage OS team.
Other code references can be found in the code comments.
This is brilliant!! Appears to be working great... Will provide an update on power efficiency in a while
How do I install
Works great on OP7 pro ?.

I am afraid no. That's determined by the system sensor.

Ahh. Good work tho
This works great. Any way to get it to run automatically after a reboot? I have to enable after every reboot.
Thanks, again!

I've made efforts to enable this service after reboot. It wasn't successful, however. Oxygen OS has a strict whitelist of apps that may start automatically after a reboot. One way to work around this is to use Accessibility Service, but that could cause more battery drain. Lol, I think it's better to leave things this way.
Very useful app, this was my most demanding functionality after bought OP7T
Thank You For this
Can u add to the store please?
Nice app. Thnks
It works great for op7t, but doesn't work for Op7.
On op7, the screen lights up, but faceunlock is not available.
You need to click on faceicon first to work (screens in atach).
But, if you unlock op7 via the power button (second screen in atach) - faceunlcok works great!
Is there any solutions for op7?
Works as it should! But screen wakes a lot while inside the pocket.
Very useful mod, thx for that
Only issue that it doesn't work anymore after some hours,i need to start the app again to get it working again for a few hours. I already have disabled battery optimisation. Any ideas to fix this?
Regards ysco..
Hello, how can i make it work on Oneplus 8?
This app is great, something I've been looking for a while. But, it doesn't work consistently. It stops after a few hours after I enable it. Then I have to open the app and then it will 'realize' the switch is still on and start working again. Is there a solution for this?
Thanks bud!! It works like a charm!!
Looks really helpful.
Works good also.
Thanks.
