Hi everyone,
I recently published a new app called Imprint - Fingerprint Camera that I think you might enjoy. The idea of the app is simple, use your phone's fingerprint sensor as a camera shutter button to capture photos and videos. I believe this is the first app to use the fingerprint sensor for something other than security, but I could be wrong.
"But can't I use the volume rocker already?" you might ask
Yes, you can, but I think Imprint offers some improvements over the volume rocker. First, it's much easier to reach the fingerprint sensor on larger phones when in portrait view (like the 6P). Second, touching the fingerprint sensor tends to bump the phone less, resulting in clearer selfies.
The app uses the Nexus Imprint API to interact with the sensor, and allows any finger to take a photo, so you can hand off your phone to a friend and they can still use the app. Imprint also uses the Camera2 API for the crispest pictures.
The feature set is pretty simple right now, with front and rear camera support as well as front and rear flash support, but I am hoping to add more options in the future.
Here are some promo codes to test it out!

Found it in the Playstore for $0.99: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nyelito.com.imprintcam
Sorry I wasn't allowed to post a link since my account is new. That link is correct though.
wait... so can i still use the google camera app to take a picture using the fingerprint sensor after installing this app? or is this the app that's used to take the actual picture?
Hey OP
Possible for a coupon code for a free download to test this out?
Or perhaps you can post the APK here for a short while?
It's against the rules to do a thread with a paid app unless there's a free version

Right now this is the app that takes the picture since I need to be detecting fingerprint presses. I am planning on looking into if I can build the feature into the Google Camera app as well.

Thanks.
I used one, and sent you an email with a small feature request/bug.
To add to that email, if the vibration can't be removed, add a 0.5 second delay to the shutter.
all the codes have been redeemed?? any chances for us to try the app or not??

This! Interesting idea, but not sure how practical it would be unless i am able to try it out.
why should i start a camera app with less features than any other just to use fingerprint sensor?
There are so many good app ideas for alternative use of the sensor... but this app is useless

I have tried it, its not real autofocus, it uses the accelerometer to detect motion and when in stationary after motion, it will automatically focus. But if you only make slight soft movement, it will not register the movement and will not refocus.
Real autofocus keeps the focus point constantly focused even in video mode. But the app only focus once when you press the record button for video then it will not refocus anymore during recording, same as stock.

Try the pro version , and try manual focus and touch the screen and then record (u only can record with focus, rigt in front of object or something written, or normal camera like stok one) the idea is if u have to film something that neeg focus this is great

While this isn't a bad app at all, it needs more features. Dev posted this up in the 6p threads and I bought it. Works but I still get peeking whereas the description says otherwise. Might just be conflicting with something I have installed. Anyways, I researched other fingerprint locks after buying this and the few that are out there have way more options. Dev stated more features are on the way. I'm still waiting for those features.
That said, the way he made this app work, seems better than the others. If he would add those extras, this would be the number one fingerprint locking app on the app store by far.
My advise to the developer is... keep working on this and get it feature rich before the store is flooded with these lock apps. There are many out that are missing the fingerprint side of things. When/if they update to include this sensor, your going to have competition.
Guys please check the update , its awesome
Bought pro and LOVE it! Thank you so much!

What is this fake crash screen about?
If I activate this, it just locks the app permanently and I have to open your app Locker to unlock the app? Then I'm able to start the app and have to lock it again, after I used it? Is this supposed to be?
If I understand this right, the fake crash screen prevents everyone from accessing the app until unlock through your app. But then you have to relock it again after.
So there are 2 possible scenarios, that I'd prefer, because for now, this option is useless to me.
First, if you activate your fake crash screen, it should be possible to blind unlock through fingerprint while the fake screen is up or click Okey to close the app.
Second, if fake lock screen is set, app shouldn't be accessable through the normal app drawer(or homescreen) but trough your app itself. Maybe if you click on the name of the app on the left side of the app list.
Beside this, great app and keep developing!

I'd imagine a lot of people who do gaming would appreciate the extra button. For me, not really an idea, but I'd like to use fingerprint to take pics. This has been done by a dev here, however AFAIK it doesn't work with the stock camera and that limits things.
But sure if I have any ideas I'll let you know.
Edit--ok just off top of my head--maybe a shortcut for call recording, screenshot, sleep, etc.
Not sure if this interests you or you're more of a game developer.

It was awhile back. Go deep in this section (apps &themes). I MIGHT have gotten it wrong. Think it controls the shutter but like I said it only works with a specific camera app.

I just got my unit. I can get a spining white ring on the front facing camera when I lift to wake with face unlock, but I can not find the option to turn it on for phone calls and messages etc.... I get edge lighting for 10 seconds or so.. I would love to have this option as I saw it active on a random video but I cant find the video again... I am fully updated with the software as well... does anybody have any ideas or know how to enable this feature? Thx!
Not a feature (yet) we all hope that Samsung will do it...
On reddit the consensus is this is a feature that would be in a future update. I saw screenshots from Samsung support confirming this.

The options he gave are still helpful for now though, as not only can you enable the rear flash, but the front screen to flash yellow when you receive a message. It's something at least for now. I just hope Samsung pushes out an update to enable the ring around the camera to be used. Just makes total sense since they removed the LED notification. :fingers-crossed:

An update got pushed to my S10e just a bit ago. Might be the one you wanted?
Circle of Light does not exist. The only thing that exist is the possibility as this is the actual screen and not any special hardware. The same edge lighting like concept can be used to illuminate pixels around the camera. If samsung does not do something, let them release the source and give us access to api's. we can do it ourselves. We just need to modify the edge lighting feature to shrink it to camera cutout and increase timings etc. I am feeling so lost without the notification LED. My pre order does not have a cancellation option. If I had I would have cancelled.
Will the ring light has potential burn in risk?
Should be. If you closely take a look at the camera cutout and the front camera animation, you'd see it's a part of the actual screen. So, It have amoled burn in risk unless or if samsung can access the pixels through hardware directly without actually turning on the whole screen.
Hello,
I installed this module over Zenx-os : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79113081&postcount=26
In fact its working cause if I'm configuring face unlock, my face is infrared. I've never tried to use it but I assume my face should be colored.
If so, the issue I'm having is I can't remove it. Tried using both twrp and magisk (not showing up anywhere even in /data/.../module)
To be honest I didn't get it was made for IR camera app...
Can you tell me how to remove it?
My goal, I want to be able to activate IR on my Mi8 to be able to control TV's using infrared.
Any help would be much appriciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ok guys,
Now I'm aware that this phone has no infrared blaster (about time :silly: ) can someone try to explain to me how to get back my color front cam during face unlock set up?
Note: using gcam, my front cam is in color of course.
Cheers in advance.

Nothing you can do about it, because custom ROM read directly from IR camera for your face unlock data. If you bothered or don't like it, just switch to stockrom (MIUI) anyway it's just on the setup. And your selfie camera is normal, right?
