Unlike other OEMs out there that use the in-display fingerprint scanner to just unlock the device, OnePlus actually gives you the ability to quickly launch other apps as well. That's just frigging amazing and I absolutely love it. You can check the full tutorial here - https://themrphone.com/article/oneplus-6t-quick-launch-apps-screen-unlock
Kind of a bummer that you still need to wake the display in the first place to actually use the in-display fingerprint scanner, but still, this is good nonetheless.
Nice, thanks for info.
Yes, completely agree that having to wake the display in the first place to actually use the in-display fingerprint scanner is a bit of a step back. Fingers crossed for a Magisk module!
tmobile version doesn't have this yet. just so everyone knows.

I think I'll be using the "touch to wake" option

The screen has to be woken in order to light your finger. UD readers use a camera behind the OLED panel to take a picture of your fingerprint, and the panel is what actually lights your finger for that shot. The only compromise I could see would be something to keep the rest of the screen dim/blank and only activate the fingerprint area, but it'll still require you to wake the screen.

Yeah, aod is probably something that can do the job at the lowest acceptable lighting requirement to read the FP.
My "Settings" app carashes when I try to enter on that menu (quick launch)... What should I do?

When you touch the fingerprint reader area the pixels behind it light up to 100% brightness in order to illuminate your finger.
The "tap to wake" feature already available pretty much solves this "problem". You simply press your finger onto the "off" display in the place where the fingerprint reader is located (easy to do after some practice) and the display turns on, fignerprint scanner illuminates and reads your finger which then unlocks the phone.

I do hope they tweak how bright the screen has to be, but from all I've read, those pixels have to be at full blast to get an accurate read on the fingerprint., so they probably need to at the very least need to regionally brighten that area of the screen fully on the ambient screen. Someone out there more clever than I will surely figure it out in a way that doesn't compromise security. Hoping it's OnePlus, but we've got an incredible community that can take a swing at it too!
Mine do not have any such feature..
Though the feature is cool I am not happy with the experience. It's not smooth, it shows pattern input screen for a while before showing quick launch menu.
Also the home screen/last app screen before the quick launch and the vibrations (too intense) are also bummer
What version of OxygenOS are you on? I'm on 9.0.3 and I don't seem to have the Quick Launch option?!

Hello mate!
I've already solved this by enabling the apps that I disabled before (like Google Pay, Google Music/Video and a few others). Then, once the quick launch worked, I disabled again those apps. :good:
still waiting for 9.0.4 to have this

by default, the quick launch is set to open a few google apps preinstalled on the device.
If you disabled/removed some of them, but didn't remove them on the quick launch list before that, then it's going to crash every time you open the quick launch setting.
Enable every default app and try again, if it still doesn't work then factory reset and next time remember to remove all apps in this setting before disabling them.

That's why I keep going back to the intl firmware. Quick launch and OnePlus lab. Phone feels much more premium and snappy with intl

How else do you unlock it at the moment ? It has always been touch screen to unlock. Turn on ambient display for single touch to wake or enable double tap to wake and scan fingerprint.
Yeah , camera definitely could be better with the current hardware it has.
Google phone app can be installed via flashing the Google Dialer Framework magisk module
There's no better option because there's no option at the moment Hoping for a real always on display implementation. That would be great.

Hi!
Does the Huawei P30 Pro have the following features:
- Always On Display with ALL 3rd party notifications?
- Double-tap to sleep from home AND lockscreen
- Double-tap to wake from Always On Display
Thank you!
Yes the AOD supports all 3rd party notifications as long as they appear on the status bar. There are exceptions to this, for 'silent' notifications that only appear when you pull the bar down.
I don't believe that it supports double tap in any way, shape or form. With regards to tap-to-sleep this wouldn't work as the double-tap gesture is used to take a screenshot.
Double tap to wake from AOD is not supported either, however if you have fingerprint unlock it is kinda 'one-tap-to-wake' as you place your finger on the fingerprint scanner and the screen comes on.

Good to know about 3rd party notification on the AOD. Do the icons stay on the AOD even if you wake the phone up, but do not act on those notifications?
I'm asking because the way Xiaomi Mi 9 handles this is a complete mess.
Thank you!

No. When you unlock the phone (even if you don't dismiss the notifications) the icons will disappear from the AOD until another notification from the same app comes through.
For example, if you have a whatsapp message and unlock the phone the WA icon will disappear from the AOD until you receive another WA message.
EDIT: The exception to this is persistent notifications. For example I have VPN Unlimited. If this is connected then the icon remains. Likewise with WhatsApp Web notification, that remains.

Ah. I see. What an odd implementation. Xiaomi did the same thing. Good to know.
Are you happy with your Huawei? I'd mostly get it because of the camera.

To each their own, but I think it makes perfect sense. If I have unlocked the device then I am aware of the notifications - they don't get removed from the phone, just the AOD. Much in the same way a notification LED would handle it on a Samsung or other device. I would, if I could, get rid of the persistent notifications on the AOD, but other than that I don't mind.
Am I happy with the Huawei? In a way, yes. I got it for the camera and I am very impressed with it, unless you wish to shoot video. If you want to shoot video (with special mention of super-slow-motion videos) then you should look to get a different device - In my opinion.
The still photography is better than pretty much any other phone that I've ever used or come across and the night-time photography is also excellent. Video wise the panning stutters a little, the slow motion is purely interpolation (the sensor only captures 240fps, not 960 as it claims) and the colours in video seem... unrealistic. Sometimes too soft, sometimes too vivid. It's good, but not as good as others on the market for video.
Hello all,
I'm currently in China and would like to buy a P30 (Pro) and use it in Europe / Germany.
Are there different hardware specs (e. G. Lte bands) except for the obvious memory and storage options?
Thank you very much ?
Of the five phones I've owned recently with rear fingerprint sensors (Honor 7X, Honor 8X, Samsung S9, Google Pixel 3a, Redmi Note 7), the only one which doesn't natively support fingerprint gestures is the Redmi Note 7.
Therefore, I can't swipe down or up on the fingerprint sensor on the Redmi Note 7 to expand or collapse the notification shade the way I can on the other phones. This is a major annoyance for me since I use the notification shade often when I'm using a phone one-handed, and the rear fingerprint sensor is so convenient for this purpose.
So I tried about a dozen different apps on the Play Store until I found one that did exactly what I wanted, and it's free. It's called Keyboard/Button Mapper.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.sds100.keymapper
It's not so easy to figure out at first, so I can post instructions if anyone needs help. In summary, however, you would create two new keymaps with the following mappings:
Trigger: <swipe down>
Action: Expand Notification Drawer
Trigger: <swipe up>
Action: Collapse Status Bar
With this one fix, the Redmi Note 7 can be just as convenient to use one-handed as any other modern phone. Enjoy.

Hi Alifirdaus. I'm sorry to hear that it's not working for you. Please list the steps you took so that I might help you. Thanks.
I have enabled all app requests (fixes) including root permission but the app does not recognize the fingerprint actions.
Mine doesnt work either... i just updated to MIUI 12... I'm not rooted. does this require root? thanks!
Gosh I've been looking for an app like this for so looooooong !! Thanks !! Working on my pocophone x3 Surya running arrow os android 11
Unfortunately I'm getting this on my Poco X3 NFC with custom rom. Any other solutions? Xposed edge pro doesn't recognize the fingerprint sensor.
So it took me a couple of days but I developed a rear screen mirroring app called Mirror2RearUltra. It consists of a quick setting tile and nothing more.
Try it out for yourself, see what happens. I don't know how to squash the bugs but the source (and APK) is available on GitHub if anybody wants to take a peek.
Yes, it does mirror the display onto the rear display.

Nothing happens when I start it. I see the headline, but the app interface is blank.
I'm not supposed if that's the expected behavior, but it doesn't seem to do anything regardless.

But please specify which are the requirements:

it should be usable without root.
11 min (since that's what the Mi 11 Ultra) shipped with.
MIUI (developed with Xiaomi.eu) but should work with any MIUI version.

Great. Works a treat. Thank you.
@GuyWithRootedPhone I was just reviewing your code on github and as a casual android developer with no experience with this kind of thing (dealing with extra screens) it doesn't look TOO hard. I was wondering though, do you think it'd be possible to build an application that could read notifications and display them to the subscreen? I just absolutely hate that Xiaomi only allows it's default messaging and dialer app to display actual details to the subscreen. I love Google's implementation of Messenger and that's my preferred texting app, but with that as default, nothing appears like the Xiaomi messenger. Same situation with Google's dialer application.
If you have any ideas/tips you could throw my way, I'd be very interested in working on such an app that would allow selected applications to display their contents on the subscreen.
beta 2 is out... it takes methods from the subscreen app installed on the Mi 11 Ultra in an attempt to keep the screen on.
if anybody has any ideas or suggestions on how to keep the screen on full brightness without modifying the settings, that would be super helpful.
Release 1.0-beta2 · tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra
added code to wake screen up upon launch/wake.

beta 3 is out, did some tweaks to get it to work on older devices.
if anybody can help me figure out how to keep the screen brightness on the rear display to max. I'd buy you a coffee, I'm struggling to figure out how this all works.
Release 1.0-beta3 · tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra
Minor fixes. Fixed bug involving face down sensor.

This app isn't doing a thing
I actually had an idea about using rear screen as an input surface while gaming. For example you can map touches/swipes on rear screen onto an action/touch on front screen area and get another functionality. Your app is quite promising to start with. Thanks for this.

can you logcat the app? i need to know if it's crashing or not.
Works fine on mine. Once installed, just swipe from the top, turn it on, click start now and when you tap rear screen to start, it shows main screen. Sorry can't take rear screenshot.
Rotation doesn't work.
Try put camera in video mode and you will end up upside down on rear display.
I would like this to work, because this is my missing feature from Android 12. That all camera options are seen in rear display.
I can't use android 12 and mui 13 because of one sim not able to do call forwarding.
Otherwise works, would be better if it was written in advance that you need to place it in quick launch.
