[GUIDE] Remove Fingerprint Animation (for faster unlock) - Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello!
For everyone who wants to remove the fingerprint animation, that greatly decreases the time to unlock the device, you just have to:
1 - Install the app Settings Database Editor
2 - Open the app
3 - Touch on "+ Add new setting"
4 - Type fod_animation_type
5 - Save changes
6 - Set 4 as value
7 - Save changes
8 - Done
This app does not require root.
To enable the animation again just remove that setting or edit the value (to 1 or 2 or even 3)
Cheers!

Great tip, thanks man!

Work like chaarm thank you

Amazing ? thank you

Thats placebo, the fingerprint wont be fast cause the animation is gone...

Useful instruction, I think many will come in handy and like it. Only the speed does not seem to affect, either for the better or for the worse. But still, turning off the animation - a useful thing).

Hi, can I fix the proximity sensor using this app? Proximity sensor is not working for me.

Thanks for this tip. It is certainly faster as don't have to wait for animation to unlock. By the way, is there a way to stop fingerprint vibration too? That will save battery ...

Hey! Follow the steps but animation stay, whats make wrong?
Edit: ok, solved, my fail... write "time" not "type"

Why u bought mi a3 if u didn't want stock android ?

The speed gain from this is minimal, though without the animation you can tell that the delay is probably the software's fault and not the sensors . Just put your finger on the sensor and remove it immediately. You 'll see that it unlocks but with the same delay as if you had your finger on it. So from my point of view there's still hope for a faster unlock on a future update.

Wish there was a way to remove vibration. Sometimes i dont want to unlock, but it must vibrate.

[APP][FREE] SmartLock v1.4.6 (27-02-14)

Hello XDA members,
Problem:
I never liked a lockscreen i just want to turn my phone on and work with it. Thats why i created a app with taskers appfactory
Solution:
The app looks a few seconds with the proximity sensor if you turn on the screen, if something is close to the sensor the phone will relock itself.
You can edit the time of checking in the settings menu.
Why this thread:
I wanted to get feedback from you to resolve problems with it and make it work better to the needs of people.
A few questions:
- Is it simple to install?
- Does it work properly?
- Feature request
- What would you like to change?
- Do you like the app?
Requirements:
- Proximity sensor
How to install with help?
- Follow step 1 and step 2 in the app
How to install manually?
- Settings -> Security -> Device administrators -> check SmartLock
- Settings -> Security -> Lockscreen -> select "none"
How to uninstall:
- Settings -> Security -> Device administrators -> uncheck SmartLock
- Uninstall as usual
What means PocketLock?
- PocketLock is a different way of locking, it will lock your phone when your screen is ON and you put it in your pocket.
You can set the directions (left, right, down) when it will check in the settings menu
- Maybe you need to set the checktime a bit higher in the settings menu. because it takes time to get your phone in your pocket.
- Maybe eats more battery (dont know it for sure)
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Why does SmartLock not lock my phone?
A.
- Did you enable SmartLock as Device administrator ( Settings -> security -> device administrator -> check SmartLock )
- Reset your settings in the Settings menu of SmartLock
Changelog:
See Play Store
Download:
- Play Store (Android 2.3+)
- Play Store (Android 4.0+)
AW: [APP] SmartLock - no lockscreen, proximitysensor as guard
Thanks!!
Will try now on Cm 10.1 & stock LSD and report back.
Edit: Works without Problems on Cm10.1 ! Your setup guide is very clear and easy to understand, awesome!
On stock LSD the 2nd step leads to "security settings" , but it should lead to "Lockscreen". This is not a real big problem but may confuse people.
All over this App is great, thank you very much!

Thank you for your first reply, and really nice to hear you like it.
The problem with the lockscreen is that every rom is different and the place of lockscreen disabling is not the same.
So this is one thing to fix

Hey!
Nice app mate. Thanks!
Really easy setup(fool proof) and working great!
Any chance of making it so it works WITH lockscreen enabled?
It's even a good idea to implement this in a ROM to avoid wrong button presses if you unlock in your pocket by mistake.
Cool!
Will test further...
Ive noticed settings are blacked out in some areas...is this normal?

P.s. No, didn't try Pocket Lock, will report back!
Edit: I have no clue what Pocket Lock changes but my shopping tour went well without any unlocks so for me, your App works fine!

Nice
PocketLock is a different way it locks your phone when screen is on and you put it in your pocket
In the settings menu you can select left,right or down. That are the conditions to check if its in your pocket.
It checks as long as you set checktime, so maybe you need a little bit more checktime for pocketlock. hehe
Hope this helps, if you think what is he talking about just say it
It can use some more battery because of movement tracking, just test it
EDIT:
Just created a Google Play developers account and i will release SmartLock in there i think tomorrow, just because i can
We will see
The easy thing is that everybody can stay up to date

EDIT (20-02-13 10.35):
Made a test build for lockscreen enabled, please make sure you install the old v1.0 because of new package name.
You need to make smartlock device admin again, just follow step 1 if you dont know where to find

Can you give feedback to me if it works for you ?

Re: [APP][BETA] SmartLock v1.2 (10-03-13) no lockscreen, proximitysensor as guard
Installed SmartLock v1.2 yesterday. I'm on Disaster v9 (JB 4.2.1). Simple installation and setup. Working without any problems including PocketLock. Will have to test longer to check if there is no battery drain, but so far all looks ok.
Must say that it is really great idea and app. Until I used it I did not know how convenient and comfortable usage of my phone might be without haveing to unlock it every time. It would be great if this app could be built into rom as one of the lockscreen options.
I have noticed one issue only, nothing major - vibration time on lock sometimes is shorter then set. Lookes like it happens only when I unlock phone for few seconds and put it back into pocket.
As for app menu it is ok, I would love it more if it looked like standard android JB settings menu.
Thanks a lot for your time, effort and the app.

Dear Pidu,
Thank you for your feedback and really nice to hear you like it
There should be no excessive battery drain with only SmartLock on, PocketLock can use some extra juice from your battery because of the motion sensor being used while screen is on.
I will check if i can reproduce you issue with the vibrate time
The layout of the app is a bit difficult because its made with tasker and not programmed in Java
Maybe a further release will be programmed so stay tuned.
I would like if you give feedback via play store so that other users can read it there.
Thanks
Re: [APP][BETA] SmartLock v1.2 (10-03-13) no lockscreen, proximitysensor as guard
This afternoon my daughter found big issue with PocketLock. From time to time she is using my phone to play games when travelling. Unfo PocketLock Left and Right turn screen off every time she is holding the phone horizontally while playing. Proximity sensor detects her finger and motion sensor - constant movement. Had to disable both options.
I did not notice extensive battery drain caused by PocketLock.
Will test the app few more days and then give feedback on Google Play.

As written above I have disabled left and right options of PocketLock. Still few times phone locked when my daughter was playing and motion sensor detected downwards movement - kid simply shakes phone in different directions
It might be hard to keep PocketLock active and avoid locking in certain situations but I would prefere to avoid having to switch it off and then on manualy. Personally I find PocketLock down most useful, so it is still fine for me, but it depends on individual preferences of the user.

Iam busy with a sketch which can have a notification in your statusbar with the status of SmartLock / PocketLock
You can enable the notification in the settings menu to stay forever or just come up when phone is left or right.
Normally if you click on the notification the settings menu will come up, but you can enable the option
to disable PocketLock if you click on it.
What is your first impression of that?
Think will release it today on the forum

1st of all - thanks... :thumbup:
few u/i suggestions:
1. can you make the sliders bigger (wider)?
2. maybe adding - and + buttons (left/right of the sliders) that change the value by 1 step down or up
3. app opens after reboot, applies the settings and stays open until i close it manually (is this normal or a bug?)
if you need a graphic layout for the app - you know where to find me
Thnx you
Applied this settings and whites are now white.

why would i want new settings if i didn't reboot because of this tool?
your tool changes settings on the fly and without asking for a reboot...
so, if after the reebot i decide to change something, i'll open the app myself... makes sense?

yes i did all of that still sometimes i get sound and sometimes not..
i checked every single item and enabled anything related to notifications
even network signal is full and whenever i try to call or i get call it gives out of coverage
i m sure its software bug ...
i even changed region to so many but nothing
i wiped data after each install of rom
the only doubt i have is
in app settings in installed app
there is system notifications
no sound
and i press it i found all notifications are on
That's the problem with Chinese ROMs
I have a global version and np problems whatsoever.
Had the same problem with the Huawei honor note 8 Chinese.
Partial fix was to add widgets for all the apps that you can on the home page, or open each one up and keep them running in the background without closing them.

Same problem here with GMAIL only, I was receiving delayed notification(1 or 2 hours). Changed with k9, now works fine. I'm on MIUI 10 Global (no root, no bootloader a virgin one
From time to time, I receive a whatsapp message which wakes up the screen, but without any sound (very strange).
I'm quite unhappy with the notifications system

Yes thats what i have notifications come with no sound and only wake up screen light then second one with sound but i installed the global beta and its better than global stable so far with last update.
Basically what I had to do was manually turn on all notification sounds and pop ups. Some apps simply cannot be turned on like Google messages.

Annoying Ass Issues w/ Mate 20X.. Hope You Guys Can Help

I'm planning to buy this phone. But bugs keep me from buying it. I shouldnt spend $700 with stupid issues it shouldnt have. Hope you guys know of a fix....
1. Can I turn off auto brightness without rebooting? Why no toggle for it in status bar?
2. No dark notifications... why aren't notifications dark?
3. Why does the EMUI look so outdated?
4. Some features not working with 3rd party launchers like Nova. Is there a fix?
Dont mean to sound like an ass. But I shouldnt have to invest almost a grand for a phone with issues other phones dont have. Its ridiculous. If you guys have solutions to these issues please let me know. Hope to join the huawei family without them.
.
The fact thet you're here in XDA tells me that you play more with your phone than keeping it bone stock.
1 - Nope, auto brightness isnalways ON which I find stupid.
2 - There is Dark mode that turn the system UI black including Notification panel but not Notification Banner.
3 - I hate EMUI
4 - You can't change launcher on most recent update and there no fix to that. You can on older version like 9.1.0.120 but you need an unlocked bootloader and root.
So do your self a favor and stay away from any Huawei Device and go with Oneplus or Xiaomi
Have bought this phone (UK version) but yet to recieve it.
Not being able to change launcher, is that an issue just for the china version or the international version too on the latest update? That would be a biggie.
Also are there any issues with notifications not getting through all the time (an affliction a lot of Huawei phones suffer from). I had the Honor note 8 (Chinese) and this issue made it infuriating to use. A phone without notifications working properly is a dumb rather than a smart phone in my book.
Lastly one of the best bits about the Honor Note 8 was the ability to clear the notifications by double tapping on the finger print sensor. Do you have that on the Mate 20 X?
I'm planning to buy this phone. But bugs keep me from buying it. I shouldnt spend $700 with stupid issues it shouldnt have. Hope you guys know of a fix....
1. Can I turn off auto brightness without rebooting? Why no toggle for it in status bar?
Dunno, brightness never bothered me
2. No dark notifications... why aren't notifications dark?
who said that ? THEMES !! it comes will all sort of colors, just download huawei theme manager from playstore, it also including fonts as well
there is also a theme editor from the playstore where you mix and match and come up with your favorite theme all from your phone.
3. Why does the EMUI look so outdated?
because it is ! next month they are releasing a new version where they copied alot from OneUI, which is a good thing and they focused on smoothness and cleaner UI
4. Some features not working with 3rd party launchers like Nova. Is there a fix?
i am using nova, i think this is a chinese version issue not global
Dont mean to sound like an ass. But I shouldnt have to invest almost a grand for a phone with issues other phones dont have. Its ridiculous. If you guys have solutions to these issues please let me know. Hope to join the huawei family without them.
i have it for almost 4 months, and i got the note10+ with my renewal and trust me, i sold it without even opening the box. nothing comes close to Mate 20x as a complete package these days, its really fast, battery lasts forever, great screen, amazing camera, amazing charging speeds and one of a kind speakers.

What do you mean?? The notifications drop down is dark. But the notifications banner color is white! Is there any way to get this to turn dark? Does the Power Shade app work as a solution?

So I can install launchers in the global version without any problems?

Are you sure about that? Auto brightness is disabled until after a reboot.

What I was saying is that one can turn auto bright off but it resets to auto of reboot, that's what I think.

Auto brightness turns on after every reboot but you can toggle it off. It stays off until you reboot the phone again.

Would you please name one? Thank You
PS: yeah, pretty sure not being able to change Launcher is only a Chinese problem. Cause I'm able to change it on my Mate 20 X in USA. I used to use Rootless launcher for quite a bit. But switched back because of the ? animations.
(Quite jealous of the OnePlus animations and gestures control. I miss them from my OP 5T)

Is there a way through a tweak or custom rom to toggle it without rebooting?

You can toggle it ON/OFF whenever. It does not require a reboot. Adaptive brightness turns ON anytime the device is rebooted. It is not such a big deal do not worry about it if you are going to buy the device.

[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 ?.

Works so well with face unlock auto unlock and PIXEL AOD mod.
is there any way to make the screen lit up time response a bit faster ?

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.
