With apps that support/require fingerprint unlock, will pressing the fingerprint scanner go to the home screen or use the fingerprint to unlock the app? If the the former, does that mean it cannot be used with banking apps and the like?

My local bank has an app that support login by fingerprint. Pressing the fingerprint scanner logs me into the app, not home screen.
Most mobile banking apps will have fingerprint scanning support. That will allow you to use your fingerprint to login to the app or perform a transaction.
PayPal too.

I've got 2 backing apps on it. First press unlocks the app with your finger print, second takes you to the home screen.

Most people use widgetlocker with a theme applied
I've tried a few different ones on the market. But none work properly with the finger print scanner

widget locker is supposed to support the FP scanner but I have yet to get it to successfully work at all, while others have claimed 100% working.
Widget locker, FB working 100%
Widgetlocker works great with my fingerprint scanner since their last update to address the issues with it.
If I have turned off the FS will I still have issues. I use a pin code instead of the FS.

Nope. Widgetlocker works with FS on or off.

Turn on FS for your phone, not Widgetlocker:
Settings > Location & Security > Change Screen Lock > Fingerprints.
I was wondering if there is a mod that allows you to tap the home button instead of pressing it. similar to virtual home jailbreak mod for iphone found here:

Want it too maybe no for now but will possible in the future!

Here we are guys! Finally there is an app which allow to tap the home button instead of pressing it! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome
Yes its quite similar to the tap to unlock feature found on the new nexus phones. But the downside to this app is that this doesnt work if u r using fingerprint unlock, which i use all the time.
+1. i am using fingerprint unlock too
Same, giving up the fingerprint unlock is something I don't want to do...
Use this app. Pretty accurate for me,don't know why people gave it low rating.

I'm tired of pressing home. I want to touch the fingerprint sensor of the s6 as home, not press.
Any pointers to find such an app?

I believe its hardware based so it's not easily changeable.

While we're at this is there any app which changes the Samsung back button to be on the left? I use the phone with my left hand so much prefer button on the left.
I hate Samsung way. If it weren't for the phone's performance I wouldn't have touched it with a 10 foot pole.

I never use the center button!
.I always use the "recent apps" and then "close all" to return to the home page!
Hey @caysman

Has anybody found a 3rd party Launcher that allows double tap to sleep feature to work?

I use Nova Prime and use Gesture settings to make it work.
Ok I wasn't sure if the prime features would make it work or not. Thanks

But you can't use fingerprint to unlock it must use your pin or pattern to unlock with nova

Are you double tapping on the status of navigation bar? Or anywhere on the screen.
It has always worked when using the status of navigation bar. Supposedly MM has restrictions that keep other apps from locking the screen and then unlocking with a fingerprint.
I just tried it on my phone again and it is the same behavior as it has been. If you can double tap anywhere on the screen, please provide more details on the setup.

Just tested with Nova Prime. Turned on double tap to lock, gave Admin rights, found the same as you.
Can't unlock with fingerprint after Nova has locked the screen.
Double tapping on status bar to lock allows to unlock with fingerprint though.
I use the Google Now launcher & the double tap to wake works & double tap to sleep works from the lock screen only. THe fingerprint sensor also works to unlock.
Arrow Launcher has double tap to sleep.

I know what you are talking about. If you use the Nova function to turn off the screen, then the finger print will not be possible. I have found a solution but you have to be rooted : download screenoff on xda, and use it when you double tap.

Through some testing, I've found that if you double tap to sleep, fingerprint will not unlock or wake the phone. But, if you sleep the phone with the rear button, the fingerprint reader will work to unlock the phone. It took me a minute to figure this out because I have trusted devices and locations set up, so I really don't use the fingerprint to unlock the phone that much.
Of course, I'm talking about using Nova Launcher

I guess that's kinda what was said above me. . Oops
I can confirm that double tapping the status bar to sleep allows fingerprint unlock. But using Novas screen lock feature disables the fingerprint unlock.

It is, but only if you have root. Not everyone has root yet

I use Apex launcher and for the double tap to lock to work I use the app 'Lock Screen Setting'. This combination allows me to double tap on any empty space on my homescreen to lock the phone.
I normally don't use fingerprint to unlock, but I just tried enabling it, and it seems to work the same way as described with Nova Launcher. When I lock the phone by double tapping the notification bar it can unlock fine with fingerprint, but when locking the phone by double tapping the homescreen, I just get a message 'unable to use fingerprint' and I have to unlock by pin.
I think Nova launcher is the best one out there!
Hi
Just tried to do a search but XDA app keeps crashing.
How do you Setup Smart Lock?
When I Open the Feature in Settings all I get is what's in the screenshots below, no settings or anything else.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Disable Trusted agents in settings (use search) and reboot phone. After that, enable Trusted agents.
