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.

Hello Guys and Girls!
I am about to buy a new LG V10 H960a in Germany.
Currently I am using a Galaxy Note 3 which is still a great machine, but I think it is time to switch to a new phone with more speed, better camera and better sound.
I do not game, but listen to a lot of music and take a lot of photos and videos.
At the moment, my phone running stock Android 4.4.4 is rooted, has Xposed and is encrypted.
My question:
After officially unlocking the bootloader on the V10, will I be able to:
Root + install Xposed (Xprivacy, Greenify) + ENCRYPT the device on Stock Marshmallow? (I am not going to install custom roms). Does the method [adb -> pkill -KILL daemonsu] still work? If not, which way do I have to choose?
Also, if I ENCRYPT my device, could you tell me more about the unlocking mechanism?
1. After booting, what is the maximum of letters and numbers possible in the password field [16?]?
2. Is it possible to unlock with the fingerprint sensor after entering a password once after booting?
3. I did not find much info or looked in the wrong place: Generally unlocking with fingerprint, do you have to press once to both wake and unlock or do I have to press twice for wake and once again for unlock?
Thank you very much!

Hi ndroiduzer,
I'm not able to answer your questions regarding encryption as I currently don't use ist but I will try for the rest.
After officially unlocking the bootloader on the V10, will I be able to:
Root + install Xposed (Xprivacy, Greenify) + ENCRYPT the device on Stock Marshmallow?

Yes, root and installing xposed is possible. I don't know about encryption. The Option is still there but as I don't use it I cannot confirm it is still working after bootloader unlock.
Unlocking with fingerprint:
Genarally you have to enter the alternative code (PIN, Pattern, Password) after reboot once before you can unlock you phone with your fingerprint. There is a module for Xposed called "FingerprintEnabler". If you have installed it you can unlock your phone with your fingerprint directly after reboot. You don't have to enter your PIN/Pattern/Password first.
To unlock your phone with the fingerprint you place your finger on the sensor (which is the power button) and press the button once to activate the screen. Just leave your finger on the sensor and the phone will unlock. If you have a flip case which activates the screen when you open it, you just need to place your finger on the sensor.
I hope this clarifies things a bit.
Thank you a lot for your thorough explanations!
Nice to hear, one does not have to press twice to unlock.

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
Hi , in Tasker ,
Run Shell Command : wm dismiss-keyguard
Use: ROOT
This action can unlock the first lock screen on Samsung devices.
( The screen asked SWIPE UP TO UNLOCK , not pin lock , not pattern lock )
I tested on Redmi note 9 pro not working.
What is method using tasker run shell command in order to unlock the swipe up unlock lock screen on redmi note 9 pro ?
Thank you very much.

I used the theme ap, chose a theme with swipe gesture and switched all security measures to off...
Now I have a lockscreen with swipe up only.
Sent from my Redmi Note 9 Pro using XDA Labs
Well, but I guess there is no way to keep finger print unlock activated and only disable the "Enter Pin" when swiping up on locks reen, right?

Hi there,
does anyone have a solution why my Redmi Note 9S degraded to Widevine Level 3? Is there a fix or workaround?
MIUI Version 12.0.3 (global) is installed. Someone mentioned these ones with the 9Pro could download an update for the Widevine Certification :
Step 1. Make sure the Auto-sync data is turned on
Go to Settings and scroll down to Accounts and sync >> Auto-sync data.
Step 2. Still in Settings, navigate to password & security>> fingerprint>> fingerprint payment>> download the latest Widevine L1 certificate.
Step 3. Reboot your device and check the Widevine security level, it should upgrade to L1.
But I dont have the menu fingerprint payment, cause the 9S has no NFC.
I debloated the 9S for a long term with Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools 7.0.3 and I'm pretty sure in MIUI 11 Widevine was on Level 1.
Many thanks for your support and suggestions.
Regards,
Dom

Are you are on stock rom with bootloader unlocked?
If yes, your "debloating" put the mess in the rom at persist level.
Why I don't know.
That's really strange....
I'm on official MIUI 12.0.3. global Version with locked Bootloader. I only deavtivated some MIUI Apps.
