[guide] ( need root) how to use fingerprint button as home, back and recents button.

If you want to use the fingerprint sensor as capacitive button and remove the on screen buttons, here are how to do it. TESTED ON XT 1640 (BRAZIL VERSION)

First you need to root and install TWRP recovery. take a look on the other threads for it.

Install the EX Kernel from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...-0-01-t3424836) [ READ THIS THREAD FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COMPATIBILITY]

If everything works fine, this kernel makes you fingerprint work as home button, but to have others functions, intall this app ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...dware-t3361340)

Now you can remapp as your wish.


TO REMOVE THE ON SCREEN BUTTONS:

Use any build.prop editor and just add this line ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 )

post your screenshots if you enjoy it.

thanks to flar2 for the kernel and app.

Event for double tapping the recents button?

Basically, i'd like to be able to double tap my recents button (while using the phone one-handed) as an alternative to stretching my thumb way over to the back button (i've almost dropped the phone several times doing this). I'm not new to tasker and realize i may have to find some other solution, just thought maybe someone here would have a trick up their sleeve?

Issues - Apps, recents crashing and more

Hi All,

I'm loving the quality and the performance of the oneplus 3 but there are a few issues that are irritating me!

1) Apps crash before starting - Intermittently, applications just show a black or white screen when executed. I have to press the power button to get the phone usable again. Example - Google drive, maps, pocket casts , tapet
2) Recents button crash - Pressing the recents button crashes the system ui. This has been happening more since 3.2.0
3) Wifi does not turn off - WIfi remains on after being turned off from quick settings or the main settings page.
4) Android system drain - Android system, almost always, has more battery usage than the screen!
5) I'm not sure if this is an issue - I recently installed AppOpsXposed module and looks like the Google Play Services and Android System have location access running even when location & wifi scanning are turned off. Shouldn't the location permission be used only when location access is turned on? I believe this is contributing to the android system drain!

I'm currently on FreedomOS 3.2.1 but have faced these issues from Stock 3.1.2 onwards. Not sure about 3.1.1 since I received the OTA on first boot. I have tried going back to stock(no root/no xposed) but that doesn't help either.

Thoughts?

Animation stuttering in the recents page?

Any of you guys experiencing this? Maybe I'm just crazy, but it's driving me nuts every time I select and exit recents where the stuttering appears.
