fingerprint gestures (ginko) - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

It seems almost any current AOSP based ROM on almost any device includes the option to pull down the notification shade using the fingerprint scanner except for my redmi note 8..
Does anyone know why? Is it a limitation of the hardware?
Thank you.

Well it took a bit of doing and it certainly doesn't work as elegantly as the baked in AOSP gestures but it does work I guess, cheers :good:
I am still curious as to why the AOSP fingerprint gestures just aren't there on any ROM with this phone though, my mi a2 lite has it on stock

i think feature like this require some work to port to aosp, but all it takes is one person to succeed and you will see it in every rom

Launch any app with the screen off gestures

I have made a mod for the oneplus one. And since i think these devices have much in common I'm curious if the mod works on the find7 as well.
Is there anyone who wants to try it?

Anyone tried it?
@Thomson2412:
First of all - if anybody with Find 7 is to flash this, he will probably have a custom ROM and it does not have to be CM.
Your zip is obviously for CM ROM. I am using OmniROM with Android 7.1 at the moment.
I flashed it and found out it is not working at all. Altought, it does add the options to settings panel.
Setting any option does not do anything and checking Haptic feedback for any action causes crash.
---
When I flashed the Omni version you have in your original thread (after I removed the OnePlus related checks) the settings options were not there at all - it is in Settings - Device Features.
1. Setting app for Camera gesture works.
2. Clicking on setting vibrator strength causes crash.
And I might be wrong, but it seems that flashing that zip messed up my "menu button one-click".
I do not get any menu popups anymore. Even when I put the original version back..
@Thomson2412 hi I find it's nice feature since I have used this kind of feature when I had oppo f1... Now I am using zuk z1 a msm8974/sd801 device... Can you help me to port it for my device.? Thanks in advanced..

I can't add gestures to a rom that doesn't have them by default because that would require a kernel change and I'm not capable (yet) to implement "new" gestures. Currently I don't have the time nor interest in learning how to change a kernel. So if your device doesn't have gestures I'm afraid I cant be of any help. I only alter what gestures do not add them or create custom ones.
I hope this answers your question, if not feel free to ask some more

If you are talking those off screen gesture features which comes in OPPO phones mostly (like draw C to open camera or draw M to open music app ) then these kind of features "by default" we dont have in any stock or custom rom But
if Double to tap wake screen (D2W) feature is enough to work your mod on my device then yes we do have this thing in all ROMs by default(kernel enabled )....,,

Rom with always on display?

Does anyone know of a rom that has always on display? I was going to go with codename phoenix but it has been discontinued and I don't know of another one.
Omni has it. Codename Phoenix is still being built, just no dedicated support. It's rock solid loaded with features.
Also, there is a substratum theme that supports it as well.

I believe it works in all the 8.1 Roms as long as you flash the OOS Oreo firmware.
As mentioned apparently you can enable this feature on the 8.1 only.
I use Always on Amoled from the store or glance plus. They both work well.

Yeah glance plus I use for me is the best solution i found but still some issues with glance but not big deal the final experience is pretty good
The Always on Display in OmniRom is flawless.

You are alright im not developer but probably don't have the same functionality as ambient display backed in a rom. Probably if you give all the permission and accessibility probably work as we want but i don't want to give every permission to the app im. Waiting for a good rom baked but for now it's ok

[OTA] OxygenOS 10.0.11 (INT) 10.3.3 (India)

- Updated Android Security Patch to 2020.05

Phone

INFO:

CHEERS
Yu talking about this update for 7 and 7 pro or it is available for 7t also ??
Guys be aware that people on reddit have reported this updated changed the back gesture range to full length on the sides, meaning they work as back gesture even at the top of the screen, very annoying to people who want to preserve the top 1/3 for app menus
Yep, the navigation gesture goes all the way up as others have mentioned. However, I noticed that lawnchair now works properly with gesture navigation so it's a worthy trade-off for now imo until they fix it.
Everything feels very snappy.
And what about OP gestures? Still nowhere to be found?

For me when I would go to long press swipe up gesture for recents, it would also flip the app drawer up. It didn't really integrate with the home launcher like it did with the OOS launcher. I tried multiple versions, beta, non beta etc.
If I remember correctly there was issues on pixel with third party launchers on gestures when they first came out as well.
Hey where can i download the global version ? I went and updated through Oxygen Updater but then i guess is the indian version? idk but i lost Dolby Atmos functionality and there's no longer any equalizer.
Green tint issue after updating :/ kind of a bummer tho, can anyone else confirm this?

You can just turn off the animations of android if you want more of the faster experience.
I am, and I refuse to do 10 because of the issues I had with it. Didn't even last half a day for me before I started looking into how to downgrade. Text too small, UI design not made for compact screen, fingerprint sensor awfully slow, ugly lock pin input screen... etc.

well bro, android 10 is really amazing and I mean you can also install android 11 on your phoen and it works really smoothly and the battery life is the best and UI is your choice, if u don't like the Stock Android UI, then don't go for AOSP based ROMs.
and well you need to look for a ROM a lot before installing it.
eXistenZ rom is the only reason I have ever had to use stock at all. eXistenZ 9 has a bit more customization and smoother out-of-the-box, but 10 is solid also.
If not using eXistenZ, better off with custom rom...

Question Can you guys help me pick a stock android 12 rom to flash?

My Poco f3 is my daily driver and I can't test lots of rooms rn and I was wondering if you guys tested different roms and would be so kind as to recommend a rom. My most important feature is to be able to unlock just by fingerprint touch or press (as in without the need to double tap/wake up the screen first). Also a totally black (not gray) dark mode is important
Thank you in advance

Yeah features and customization without diminishing stability or battery life
I use Evolution X but it's Android 13.
It has a Black Mode and lots of customization. It's a Pixel ROM so it also has Pixel-exclusive system apps and features. I can recommend it It also receives frequent updates and has a big community on Telegram.
The question is, do you want a simple AOSP ROM or a Pixel ROM with more features and customization.

Yeah more features and customization as long as its stable and has a good battery life. I kind of disregarded A13 bc I assumed it won't be perfected yet but I'll check it out now. Can you unlock from a black screen just by taping the fingerprint scanner?

Yes, this is the default behaviour when having set-up a Fingerprint.
Doesn't every ROM do this by default? I think even MIUI. You can also configure to only scan for Fingerprint when Screen on, on Evolution-X too.

Probably yeah. its just that the last few roms I tested on my last device you had to turn screen on first. possibly bc they were early releases and scanner was under display but I gave up on stock android ever since mainly bc of that so I'm sure
