Is there a way for me to use the fingerprint sensor without having it a fingerprint saved? I would like to use the fingerprint sensor as an extra button but I don't want to have to save my fingerprints or use it as security.

there are quite a few apps that can modify functions of the sensor (camera shot, turn off screen, etc.) some work better than others [i've tested, but since not being desperate for it << gave up]; however, i don't know if they work without having a registered fp >> since i use it to (un)lock

You can check my tweak & try this. I've a tweak for Enabling Fingerprint Selfie in Nougat Custom ROMs, without storing fingerprints.
Try this & enjoy Fingerprint Selfie :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys...
I´m searchin for an application, which allows me to use the second camera of my htc touch pro 2. Any Ideas for that?
I think this camera is there for video calls, but i would like to use it for making pictures.
Cheers, stephan1
im pretty sure the TP2 doesnt have a second camera, just a light sensor for the auto backlight adjustment

cheers, stephan1

That is related also with your cell provider
So I've used the search bar and google
there are 4 circles at top
1. Ambient Light sensor
2. LED notification lights
3. ???
4. Proximity Sensor
so whats in between the earpiece and proximity sensor
also why dont apps recognize the ALS? I've used android sensor box, androsensors and my android sensors but still nothing. Though auto brightness works. I know, I move my finger over it and the screen gets dim

The last 2 sensors are for proximity i guess, cause even on my mini pro i have 2 circles for proximity. In the stock rom, it is never detected, its on by default. In roms like cm10, CM10.1 etc. you can choose whether to use it or not, change the different levels etc.
Well in mini pro its
Led, ambient sensor, camera, proximity.
Tbh, I think I have seen two dots instead of one for sensor. (Really hard to see)

Yep there are two sensors for proximity.
why are there 2 sensors for proximity? using the sensor apps I've noticed that only that the right most works the 3rd one doesnt really do anything when i cover it. but it works so I'm fine with that
but how come the apps dont detect the ambient light sensor? that too is obviously working because the screen dims when i hover over it
Try using the service menu and see if it works there

Assuming your on stock that';s just the way it is, look into xposed, their maybe a mod to change it, you would need root tho
It used to take photos on stock so i am not sure what happened

There's a option in camera settings called quick launch set that to Launch and capture.
Hello, change my incredible motor z play for a huawei mate 10, I'm still trying to get used to it, my question is that if you can set the proximity sensor to wake up the screen and display notifications without touching the phone, as with the Motorola smart screen, thanks!
Yes many softwares available,and btw no need now with face unlock feature to use proximity sensor
I flashed the last pixel experience today and im facing some issues and have some questions:
1) The rom doesnt have built-in compass or voice recorder?
2) My rear camera is "yellow" depending on where im focusing and the light conditions (its not a normal yellow)
3) Portrait mode isnt working on rear camera (it only takes 1 shot and its with bad quality and not portrait mode), the front works ok
4) Can i use an app like fingerprint gesture to lock the phone? (i tried but need to set fpgestures as administrator, and when try to unlock with fingerprint the phone asks the pattern because an administrator have locked the phone)
Thanks!

1. You can download some apps on Play Store for compass and sound recorder.
2. Maybe it has something to do with auto white balance. If them, try installing, GCam mod by BSG. Although you need to remove the stock cam first vua root before trying to install the GCam mod.
3. Portrait mode only works on humans.
4. No idea on this one.
Hope it helps.
Thanks! I rooted the phone and got rid of "4)" problem. How I can unninstall stock gcam and install another? I (the gcam post here in xda says you need to be on miui rom to use gcam port, it will work on pixel experience?

The pixel experience should have gcam as its default. Clear cache, clear data, reset to first install. See if that works. If not I don't see any reason why the gcam port won't work. I know people are using it on other ROMs like Havoc and Nitrogen. At least, I think I read that at some point.
