Hello, has anyone managed to replace the stock lockscreen with a third party one while retaining fingerprint unlock support?
whats wrong with stock lockscreen?
there are plenty lock screens in the store if you want a replacement badly, but none of them supports fingerprint, as per my knowledge

Maybe Next Lock Screen
" Custom unlock: protect your phone with a PIN or pattern code. Fingerprint unlock is available on hardware-supported devices. Smart lock based on location (home and/or work)."

I agree.. but checking notifications is a priority too.. and for some people.. it s a fancy thing, to have a different style lock screen
Mainly I wanted more customization and to see the time of next alarm, without unlocking the screen every time. You can only replace the lock screen by rooting the phone on emui4. However if you want to use fingerprint lock the stock lockscreen must also be enabled, so you have to use a double lock screen. Was not fond of that and turned to Cm13. And it's great! Completely revived the phone.

There are some annoying bugs like some apps can't be installed from the play store (but they can be from apks), IR not working. But in my opinion it's worth it. Been using it for a few days and had no freezing or crashes at all.

Thanks!
It's all preference, some people like Nova, some like Action.
I've used both and felt that Nova was a bit smoother for me, which is why I chose it for this video
I forgot to mention the icon pack I used is called Dives.
Great icon pack that sort of mimicks the Pixel launcher rounded icons.
Thanks for the vid! I've got only one question: is it possible to get that color effect when pressing the home button just like on the Pixel?
Edit: sorry, got another question: I couldn't get the boot animation to work. Do you need a custom kernel for that? Because I'm fully stock, just twrp recovery and root.

It's not possible to get the color effect on the navbar, not yet at least. I've been looking for a while and eventually just settled on the static navbar icons.
And I couldn't get the boot animation to work properly either, it looked all stretched. Some people seem to have it figured out so I suppose it's possible to apply it properly somehow. Sorry :/
Nice vid! Thanks a lot. Looks very good.

Hey guys, I live in China and I just got one from their flagship store in Shanghai, must say it's indeed a very impressive phone but only on hardware perspective, as for the software, nah.
More details will be available once I have time to explore, main phone still will be Galaxy S8 and iPhone X at this moment

I would say it's okay for the camera but not the best, its cheaper sibling Vivo Nex has better image quality compared with.
The speaker is mono unfortunately, I think they don't have enough space to fit a large audo component into that tiny upper frame, a bit sad.
Battery is above the average, will do a intensive battery consumption test once I have time.:fingers-crossed:

So far the only way is to get adb working
Type
Adb shell (hit enter)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher (hit enter)
However when you swipe up from center it gives you a blank screen. You then have to hit lock screen or drag up from center and hold to show recents then you can drag up from center and it will go to your launcher.
Before using the command above make sure you already have the 3rd party launcher installed
Got one from China, using in Canada right now
Google Assistance isnt working for me (cannot trigger via voice or home button)
Android Auto is not working
Have trouble to disable voicemail notification, Pixel 2 can disable it via some trick but not working with Find X
LTE band works great and download/upload speed is faster than my Pixel 2 (Telus+Freedom Mobile)
URL Links that require to open Google Play wont work, it will open the built-in broswer even I switch the default browser to Chrome, it will not open google play directly
Same idea for google calendar and other google deep intergrated services/app
Need International ROM!!!

My OFX should be arriving any minute now....
Is there an option in the settings to go without a lockscreen?
I don't use a lock screen of any sort, I'll be giving this app a shot (with & without a lock screen) to see what, if any, effect it has, with both swipe gestures & nav buttons.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
I realize most people use a lockscreen but,thought some may be willing to go without one if, in exchange, you may be able to skip a couple of swipes/etc... in the process.

I don't see a option for that, but you might be able to delete it. I'm not going to try that one.
Yep, never use a lockscreen and go straight to the GUI from the fingerprint scanner or face unlock, positively hate the extra step. It's a key issue for me so I'm counting on you folks getting it resolved.

Found the setting to turn off lockscreen,but,at least for now,it comes at a price:
The good news: Look no further than developer options,it's the 2nd option.
The not so good: You're stuck with the yellow warning background in the status bar
The background color could be disabled on the VIVO NEX by killing the VIVO Services app,at least until the next reboot,not the best option,but,I could live with it.
Perhaps the OPPO equivalent,whatever that .apk is named,will serve us the same result,I'll be spending the better part of the evening trying out different apps.........

Please dont fool yourself with those crappy chinese AOD apps. Accept the fact that if samsung didnt give AOD as a integrated feature it will never come. I tried for many hours to edit the kernel to make the real AOD work but it just wont work, the display doesnt support it.
All those chinese apps do is when you turn off your screen, the app turns it on and adds a AOD overlay ontop of the lockscreen which is just total bullcrap and is buggy

In all seriousness though, it's a shame that native AOD doesn't work on this device, it really is a bad phone I don't know what Samsung was thinking
Is there any AOD that works normally on J6 Pie? There is 2.0.4v that works ok but it has a lot of bugs. Other stuff from the store eats battery like a 5-6% /1h.
You would think this being a Pixel device that there would be tons of ROMs but there's nothing out yet and the development page looks barren. I'm waiting on lineage but who knows when that will be available if ever

Can't post the links here for DU. Just do a google search for "dirty unicorns blueline" and it will be one of the first links. The instructions are there. Just make sure you use the blueline twrp version or you'll run into install errors. I had the crosshatch version installed and learned that the hard way. Good luck.

Agreed. There are just a few tweaks that I miss on stock that the custom roms have. Other than that, stock has been fine for me.

Thread closed as no relevant discussion pertaining to threads in XDA :good:
For me there are three things that i want from a Phone:
A good Camera, a notification LED (because my Phone is always on silentmode) and a price lower than 330 dollars.
This looks like an unresolvable Task
and i also want the possibillity to disable digital balance ?
Thanks for Your Support!
Yes, it is on the bottom of the phone near the usb port
Yes, there is. But it's small. If that's not enough tho, there's a bunch of 3RD party apps which do the led thing when theres a call or notification.

It does but it's completely useless, way too dim to be noticeable, in the process of choosing an app myself that does something with the camera flash or similar.
