Hi,

I really love your app and use it every day inluding the ability to protect the Recent App window.

However, recently I started using the Good Lock that Samsung just evitalized again. That includes an option to replace the Recent Tasks view to a separate app called Task Changer (com.samsung.android.pluginrecents) that gives you an android P like recents screen on Oreo.

I tried protecting the Task Changer app in Finger Security but no luck, it opens without any protection.

Any idea how to lock it successfuly?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ppa25:
Would it be possible for the app to take a picture and use face unlock?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
In theory that would be possible. Though I am not planning on writing my own face recognition software.

So since there is currently no way to use the builtin feature, I am afraid FingerSecurity won't be supporting iris or face unlocking soon.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] TheTrojanHorse:
This is THE best but the only thing that would make me love it even more would be the option to also lock apps at certain locations/WiFi networks rather than just unlock because I use this app to stop my kids going on my work stuff and all

Great work though!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks for your feedback! I am glad to hear you like FingerSecurity.

Hey guys im on android 8.0 and i think the app is not working correctly my notification sound is all messedup everythime i lock an application does this means that it does not support the oreo version?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hey, the app should work on Android 8.0 just fine. What version of the app are you using? Do you have the "protect notifications" option enabled?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Fizie:
Yes i do have it sir.. when i turn on the protect notifications option when a whatsapp notification comes in it only vibrate no tone.. before this i have tone.. huhuh
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I see. Could you make sure you are using version 3.12.4 of FingerSecurity?

This issue has been resolved in version 3.12. You are now also able to customize the sound/vibration settings for a protected app. This can be done in the notification settings of your device (search for the FingerSecurity app)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Fizie:
Yes sir im on the latest version before this i was on mm rom it was just fine but now moving into oreo rom it cause problem... maybe its due to my rom?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That sounds correct.

Could you go to your device settings. Then under apps find FingerSecurity and click on the option about the notifications. There you should see categories one of them should be named "WhatsApp". You are able to customize the notification sound there :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] AriesTruong:
After I upgrade my Note 9 to Android 9 then FingerSecurity cannot lock Recent Apps.

My FS is up to date on Google Play.

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Since Android 9 the recent apps window is no longer a separate app. It is now part of the launcher app which is also responsible for your homescreen.

I am trying to find a new way to detect and protect the recent apps window (but I am not sure if there is any).

Safe location

Hi: I can never made possible "Safe location" works with wifi location. I have checked in my office wifi so that App shouldn't be protected while connected to my wifi. How can I make it work?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi. Please check the following:

That you have location option enabled on your device

Check that your protected apps don't have the "custom settings" option enabled. (This would overwrite the safe locations from the general settings)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] esi2121:
Anyone knows how I can unlock apps with specific fingerprint in fingersecurity ,I couldn't find any setting about this
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Unfortunately the specific fingers option is only available on Samsung devices with Android versions below 9.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] amitabhr:
Hey Rick, The only app that has this still working in latest android (tested on S8) is "AppDefender"

Maybe you could look at that ro see what they are doing.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] fbloise:
Not the original question asker but this helped me. Yet to test the themes and other stuff but for me it is the best app for this purpose out there. I've tried others which are buggy as hell.

Overall, great app and it works fine with my Galaxy Note10 using safe locations (my workplace).

Two questions:

-Have you considered a premium approach as in all the in-app purchases in one single bundle?

-Can the app use the Face scanner (I know is not the greatest security but just to have this option would be great).

I will send them by email so we can keep the dialogue. I joined the beta programme.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] esi2121:
Rick your apps is greate between all security approach by fingerprint ,thanks for your good work:good:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] AriesTruong:

Why I can not secure certain apps without set lock screen? After I rooted my phone (S7 edge) it requires to set fingerprint lock whole phone but I want to secure only app? What to do can you tell?

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] 0-0-0:
Hi Rick,

Is it possible for you to add a "code unlock" option on the finger print unlock overlay page?

If for example I'm cycling and wearing gloves, and want to use the Strava app. I need to remove my gloves.

I know the code unlock page pops up after 3 unsuccessful finger print attempts, but I'd just like that option straight away without the 3 attempts. Obviously wearing gloves prohibits me from entering a finger print.

I'm currently using a Samsung S9+ (rear FP scanner), but I'm swapping to a S21 (front screen FP scanner) soon. If that info is any use to you.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] markpp10:
I have a similar problem.

Bought in-app location, no custom settings for apps, set location based for some wifi ssid and Bluetooth devices. It works well for Bluetooth, but never got it to work with wifi. Even when connected to a protected/checked ssid, it keeps asking for the fingerprint.

Note: every ssid appears duplicated in the list we have to choose from. I've tried to check only one or both, with no success. Maybe these doubled ssid mean something is wrong?

Print ssid list: https://ibb.co/ww0KvKh

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] AllanDG:
I'm sure I'm asking questions that have already been addressed, but the thread is 65 pages and.....

1) Am I correct that the app can unlock any apps I choose with my fingerprint without me having to enable screen lock?

2) The description says the app cannot be uninstalled. Does that mean I can never uninstall it without resetting my phone?

My device is a Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Thank you in advance!!!

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tworla:
Looks like this was removed from the play store. Where is a safe place to download this?

I just downloaded form uptodown.com. It is asking for me to register a fingerprint. I thought the point of this app was an alternative to the already secure built in device biometrics? This app is only logical to use if you want to keep your device unlocked but require fingerprint security on a per app basis, but that use case is unsupported. So really wondering what the point of fingerprint security on a per app basis if you already have biometrics
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] romualdrichard:
Hi, I have sometime "fingersecurity' has stopped but it works.

I have Android 14 on a A53 Samsung
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi doctor_vai

Unfortunatelly Samsung API supports only the following thing

The API makes a difference between Unlocking with the finger or with a alternative password.

So your idea could work with this(max 2 profiles)

The problem is apps can only get this information from there own request.

I can't get this information from the lockscreen. :(

If you have any idea how this may work without getting this kind of information from the lockscreen please let me know.

I think it would be a really nice option
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] :
Is there a Session Locking - once an app gets unlocked everything unlocks until user relocks his phone?

Fyi, I downloaded the latest apk but the bug where the app doesn't open and brings me back to the homescreen is still there. Superb app nonetheless and will be purchasing the pro version.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Tqvm bro....it works now...yay.....awesome...now just waiting for task killer fix from you...btw already bought the pro version 3 days ago to support your development....thanks...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks for supporting me i really like that.

And by task killer fix you mean that the app can't be killed right?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:
Yes....u are right bro....immortal by any task killer including android task killer...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okey.

I think this is a realy important function but i have to figuer out how this is going to work.....
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:
Just take your time bro....i can wait...he he he
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi do you have examples of apps that prevent force stop?

I am having a hard time finding out how to do this....
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] carvajaljn:
Rick Clephas

A suggestion

That would be good, can we get time, i mean,

When we get an application, it does not get to block less in 15, 5,30 seconds or 1 minute

[emoji1][emoji18]
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This option is available it is called timout.

Or is that not what you mean
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:
Bro....u mean 3rd party apps?...maybe wwhatsapp/facebook.....maybe iam wrong bro....
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Yes do you know a third party app which stay alive even if the user wants to force stop it

Edit:

Whatsapp and facebook are doing this with push notifications

I mean really alive without push notificatoins waking up again
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] :
Already purchased pro. Keep up the great work! Can't wait for session locking to be implemented. ?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:
Ermmm....if that i dunno bro...iam not expert in this field...maybe someone more expert on android can help you....really sorry bro..
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thats fine I hope it is possible... :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] :
I don't think there is any app that cannot be forced stop. It is a user's right to force stop an app.

Maybe you can do something like AdBlock Plus that puts an icon in the status bar to inform users that it is running its service?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I understand but the problem is that since this is a securety app. This force stop thing is a big hole in the security. So the only thing i can think about is protecting the apps thath can force top an app......
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] carvajaljn:
I am sorry, I do not want to be so useless

I meant i had an idea

He has got a bad English when writing it, sorry…

But if it means timeout
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] doctor_vai:
Hmm in that case, i lean towards making a widget in the home screen kinda like an on and off switch. Once the user open it, he will be invited to swipe his finger (no needs to selective fingers in this case). If the private mode (The mode that locks sensitive apps) is off, it will be switched to the working state and vice-versa. It's much simpler and will save a heck load of time.

Just make the easy accessed widget practical. No delays/Animations between clicking and having it opened. Remember, the user here want to protect his apps quickly ;)

Good luck
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okey thanks thats i great idee i can do that.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi doctor_vai,

I added the widget and uploaded the apk to the store.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Docmjldds:
New ROM. Old issue. Installed and goes to Home screen after a finger swipe. V1.1.7. BUT...I do have a log file now. Will attach here. Not much I can see from it...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] doctor_vai:
Good Work ! It's much more practical now. There's still room for improvements.

See below, if you can adjust the widget icon to be alligned like the other icons in the same row. Try as much as possible to make it blend easily with the environnement by changing the icon maybe, see something like this : http://th03.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE...ock_shape_psd_template_by_garryts-d6p129h.png )

I think that you may also add tabs that separates between installed apps and services. The list is so long and it takes a lot of time to find an app!

Also, i almost forgot, my phone is set in english and even if i select the Phone app to be locked, it is still accessible. So again, i think separating between the front end apps and background apps in tabs is a must!

Remember, future high end Samsung devices (maybe other brand's devices too) will have Fingerprint scanners. You are the first in the market right now, so you must take this opportunity to be the best !

Keep polishing the app

;)

Hello I installed this last night and have been trying it out. I noticed though I started having massive battery drain and when I checked in GSAM a "dboxed_process1" and "dboxed_process2" were eating my battery. I couldn't figure it out and backtracked and when I installed the dboxed_process all went away. Any input? Google also did not really provide what it was as well
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks for the great feedback.

On the moment you can search your apps if you like.

I will add some sort of categories.

I will try to align the icon with the other.

And I will think about another icon(I want it to be uniek and profesional looking)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Christiancs1969:
I like the icon already on widget
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dhatw:
I can't seem to find this widget, it must be really hidden:D. I have the latest update according to the play store. Never mind, I had installed an APK before, now I uninstalled and reinstalled from the Play store and now have the widget.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thats the widget(looks little bot different for you because the screenshor is from my Galaxy Note 3)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi

The app is created to drain as less battery as possible.

The service will stop when you turn of the screen and start after you wake it up again.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Uploaded a new version to the store with filter option:

- All apps

- Active Apps

- Secured Apps

- Unsecured Apps
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] doctor_vai:
Good !

There's a bug with the widget. Sometimes even when it is ON, the apps are still accessible (this is not really helpfull but i'm a little busy). Also, the first option in the app menu which shows ON or OFF doesn't refresh depending on the widget state.

Good luck
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
thanks for the info I Will fix it .

Question for people with a rooted s5.

Would it be nice if there was a butten to enable / disable FingerSecurity in the status bar.

I mean not like a notification but like the wifi , gps , etc toggles?

I would find that really useful. So yeah thumbs up for me!

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi i read that thread as well.

Why the theme is not applied to my app is because the theme is applied to the lockscreen app and not to the popup samsung provides.....

I will contact the dev from the theme and ask hik if he can make it for the popup as well
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dreskullz:
awesome app bro. some Tasker integration would be nice
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi whath do you mean by tasker intergration?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dreskullz:
integration where as Tasker have control over enabling and disabling the functions of the app

and if you are familiar with Tasker you that the things you can do is only limited by our imagination :o
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I don't really get it... I am sorry :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dreskullz:
? it's OK. But do you know what Tasker is?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Well I hear of it but I don't really know the meaning of it.....
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dreskullz:

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dreskullz:
Welcome. And keep up the good work I'm keeping a close eye on this project
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okey I think I get your idea let me know if I am right?

You want to be able to take actions in the app( enable or disable the service) when there happens something like you shake with the device.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dreskullz:
Yes! That's it's and with Tasker the possibility is almost endless. There con be GPS location, time, cell tower location, wifi location [which I see you have already] but all these can be use to disable and enable. And you may even see others contribute different ideas when it come to Tasker
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okey that's an awesome idea!!:good:

I am going to make that :cool: :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dreskullz:
OK can't wait to see that. You should fool around with Tasker every now and again then it's fun and by doing that you might even get hit with some new ideas. This with be a first for Tasker if I'm not mistaken

Ok guys ive been working on this for a bout a month now. So one day my lg optimus g pro with att decides it wants to lose its imei ive never flashed never did anything with the rom nothing. bone stock! so i decide not worth trying to fix it lets send it in. well att says eff off and lg breaks my phone further and refuses to fix the crack they put in the lcd as well (already have a case with BBB) but now im with a tiny crack on the lcd (still usable phone) and a messed up what i assume is a corrupt efs folder so ive tried everything i tried flashing it to cyanogen mod to no avail then flashed it back to stock with lg flash tool i tried using qpst and i can read nv 550 but when i write my correct imei it says its sent but the moment i reload it again the imei didnt save. ive tried cdma flash tool some tools that ive tried wont even accept my spc. i tried going into diag mode but cant seem to figure that one out I have no idea where to go next i feel like ive tried everything im not sure if this is the right place or not but ive read every forum post that i could find that has to do with efs folder corruption writing new imei's ive tried everything before posting. Could really use some suggestions some help anything

this is also a common problem with these phones ive been told you can find on ebay these phones in perfect condition but the same problem as mine "red network x one day for no reason"
