How can I disable the Redmi Note 3 Pro fingerprint scanner in the firmware or in the OS kernel?
P.S. The problem is that I want to use ported Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (kate) MIUI 7 Global 7.3.9 for kenzo, but it has a big problem with FP scanner, so I need to disable it somehow. How can I do it?

I have another problem. I have disabled fingerprint sensor, no fingerprint is registered but...when the phone screen is off, if i touch the figerprint scanner it wakes up the screen (in screen lock). It is very disturbing becouse every time i pick up the phone it lights up...
Any fix for this pls??
I am on official 8.1.4.0
Me too, I have the same problem, the screen wakes up when I touch the fp sensor. How can I disable this?
i'm also have problem, using CM13-fk Optimized.. not registering FP, but still when screen OFF then touch FP making screen become ON..
please developer @Umang96 or @TheStrix help us..
Had the same issue on Redmi note 4x (Snapdragon). I was very annoyed with the phone waking up all the time I touch accidently the fingerprint sensor.
Recently I finally found a working sollution (credits go to user cherva70 from Russian 4pda forum!):
You'll need a rooted device
Go to system/usr/keylayout folder and open the file Generic.kl with text editor
change the line
key 353 DPAD_CENTER
to
key 353 MENU
save
reboot (no need to wipe cache)
by this you bind 'menu' button to your fingerprint sensor, they will now work exactly the same way. And as the 'menu' button normally doesn't wake-up the phone, so won't the sensor
Best part - fingerprint sensor will still have its main functionality and you'll be able to unlock the phone or any other app when you're prompted so.
Dont work on my Redmi Note 4 :S

As in the title.
I tested it and the sensor on android 7 still wakes up my device.
Is it known how to deactivate the finger sensor completely? The part constantly wakes up my device when I'm against it.

Confirmed working on Redmi Note 4.
I have just been able to restore my phone from a hardbrick, but the fingerprint is not recognizing, I downloaded a program to test the sensor and says that my device has no fingerprint, any idea what to do?
I already changed the ROM, and have already downgraded to test another ROM
Hi,
I have a problem with my fingerprint scanner. I'm unable to access my fingerprint settings in any ROM stock emui/LO 13/MIUI apart from LO 14. I flashed LO 14 today and the fingerprint scanner that I thought was broken allowed me to add my fingerprint. I tried flashing stock emui to remove the fingerprint, but I can't seem find the fingerprint setting anywhere.
Hi everyone,
Currently, I am using Havoc os 2.5 which is a pie based custom rom in my xiaomi redmi not 4(mido). I always flash new custom roms but never happened this. Now I have a problem facing with the fingerprint scanner, when I placed finger to the fingerprint scanner to setup fingerprint lock or add a new fingerprint but it's not responding anything. this issue happens only in user as admin. If i switch user as guest or another user and try to setup fingerprint lock then it perfectly works.
please help me to fix this problem. Thank you
My realme 7 Pro with Android 11 Fingerprint Error. Disappear after I installed the Magisk Hide. Then I tried to remove the old Fingerprint record and wanted to make a new Fingerprint record, it didn't work, it's written "Try again. Unable Complete Fingerprint Settings. Please try". Then I make Magisk Hide stop, the fingerprint work again. Please help... What should i do so that fingerprint works without turning off the Magisk Hide ?
