[Q] 3rd party lock screens and fingerprint scanner - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im trying to use hi locker (a 3rd party lock screen) but if I want to use the fingerprint scanner, I have to have the system lockscreen enabled which means I have to unlock the phone twice everytime. Is there anyway to use the fingerprint scanner and disable the system lockscreen?

use shortcuts with Pattern Unlock lock screen?

is it possible to have shortcuts with the Pattern unlock lock screen?
I would like to have shortcurts to the Camera and Dialer while still have security provided with a Pattern unlock.
Is this possible with a completely stock (no rooting no anything) S III on Verizon?
Or do I need to install one of those lock screen apps? I'd prefer to remain completely stock for now if possible..

If you had shortcuts of any kind, that would kill the security.........
I wish Google would implement their Touch Gesture Actions From A Device’s Lock Screen idea asap... providing shortcut functionality without sacrificing security would be better than those 3rd party lock screens.

Not sure about defining shortcuts. but i used pattern lock and if I hold finger on screen, rotate to landscape, then swipe pattern, it launches camera.
if i have a missed call or text there is a circle on the lock screen with the qty and if i swipe off that circle then enter pattern it takes me right to that app (missed calls or messaging).

I don't care about security for the camera or dialer.
I know there is the camera motion shortcut thing but I like the clickable widget better. I want to have the capability to define widgets on the lock screen like you can when you don't have any security. But I want it with the pattern unlock. I guess this is not available out of the box? And needs a special app?

I would like the same thing... you can get it on the standard swipe to unlock so why not the pattern lock... I have tried various lockscreens but their not without their flaw...
Widget locker.. has lots of customisation and you can add custom sliders and widgets but... its buggy prone to crashing and takes a fair bit of tweaking to be secure (ie if you dont select correct setting you can unlock with just the home key) , sometimes have to unlock twice and it always request superuser access even when the phone is in standy ... so drains battery more than it should.
Go Locker - didnt like this at all just didnt seem secure... first version could be bypassed easily... plent of themes though if security is not a priority.

Fingerprint scanner flexibility

Hi, is redmi3 Pro fingerprint scanner working only for lockscreen and MIUI supported apps or can be customized for custom actions on 3rd party apps? E.g. entering passwords and PINs anywhere.

fingerprint locking on apps only?

Hello.
I want to use applocker to lock apps with my fingerprint, but it requires me to register fingerprints through settings. Settings does not allow me to register fingers, as it wants me to turn on the stock lock screen. However, I'm using a third party lock screen. Is it possible to bypass this requirement and use to fingerprint locking for just apps?

Use fingerprint for apps, without a lockscreen?

Is there a possible way to store my fingerprint in my phone, for apps that have that feature, without using it as a lockscreen?
I have a few apps, like Lastpass and my banking app, that allow use of a fingerprint instead of a password. These seem to be based on a fingerprint saved in my phone itself, the one that would be used for my lockscreen. When I turn off lockscreen the fingerprints are no longer an option. Is there a workaround for this? I am on a Sprint HTC 10.

Fingerprint Recognition Will not work if screen lock not working
