You are using the beta version :D

I am aware that the beta version is using more battery then the versions before. I am fixing this problem :) Unfortunately I still need to study for my last final exam :$ After that I am going to work very hard on this problem :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Borfas:
The application was launched when stood only about four five mega , are now dozens of mega... super huge
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
There are also way more features now :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Borfas:
yes and good :) :silly: :good:

For other brands?

Hi, my china phone has a fingerprint sensor like Samsung S5... I can only lock phone, but i can't lock apps..

I tried to download this app but didn't work... if i set my phone like Galaxy S5 in build.prop can it work?

If not, could you extend this app to other brands and no only Samsung? Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hello, No it won't work when you set your device to the Galaxy S5 in build.prop

The manufacturer of the device has to allow third party apps to use the fingerprint sensor. As far as I know Samsung is the only manufacturer that allows third party apps to use the sensor :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Tomislav3383:
Can you use this app if you have custom rom installed?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Only if the custom rom is touchwiz based :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] DnKid:
Alternative Password

There should be an option for the use of the alternative password. All in all it is a good app. Well done.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
There is :D

On the moment FingerSecurity does not ask for the alternative password by itself( I am working on that :P)

When you want to use the alternative password then you should click the app icon on the protection overlay.

Hi, I can help you translate to Hebrew if you want
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks. Though someone else is already going to translate FingerSecurity to Hebrew :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] MrHomebrew:
Any possibility of finding a way of making this worlk with a cm12 build?

Great work by the way.

I am dual booting on my Note 4 and if it is possible it would be amazing.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Theoretically it is possible.

Unfortunately I have not found a way to make it work :$

Though since there are more and more devices with a fingerprint sensor I hope someone will find a way soon :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] MrHomebrew:
Currently on my Note 4 I am dual booting Samsung lollipop 5.0.1 and CM12 5.1.1

All my apps are being shared between the two roms so no need to reinstall duplicate apps on either Rom. I install on one and it shows on the other, Great for storage between two Roms.

I am going to talk to the developer about maybe enabling sharing of some needed specific Touchwiz files that may alow some progress.

I have an idea I just need to speak with the developers for the dual booting.

If you do not mind me asking which files or directories are specifically needed to make Finger Security work? Hopefully you get what I mean.

If we can find a way to share these files we may have something to work with at least in a dual booting fashion with stock Rom and cm build.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You can find my email address on the about page of FingerSecurity :D

You are right the problem is that specific Touchwiz files are missing on other roms. I have not been able to determine which files though :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
Is there/will there be any way to change the text on the message that appears when a locked app is opened? It would be good if there was no mention of Fingerprint security needed so the user doesn't know the app is actually locked. Also the same with the notifications
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Options to change the message on the protection overlay and the notification are currently being tested :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
Yay. I'll be patiently waiting with my phone in my hand waiting for the update. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] boxa72:
[MENTION=5950828]Rick Clephas[/MENTION] I sent u an email earlier about notifications after installing a theme from Samsung's theme store. I will get a logcat to u as soon as I can. The problem is (and it's annoying AF!) the app notifies you every 10 seconds asking if you want the app protected but the funny thing is its only Samsung's themes that trigger this behaviour.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I read your email :D

I assume you are using the latest version(2.6.5), right?

I am going to see why this is happening :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PunkOz:
Was looking for this for my S6 Edge, You should add more themes like the ability to change the background color.. and make it look exactly like the iPhone 6 or the stock fingerprint scanner etc. Great app! I bought the themes iap :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Currently some theme options are being tested :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] wickedankit007:

fingersecurity compatability issue on s6

Hey there, first of all this app is so awesome!! Keep it up.... and i used to have it on my galaxy s5 and it used to work perfect now i changed my phone to galaxy s6 SMG920F lolipop 5.0.2 and it will not lock the applicattons after i lock them in finger security when i cheak the app that i locked it opens and also when i try to open the finger security app its self if it did not recognize the finger it will get stuck is it a problem with my phone or is there a way i can fix it or its not yet compatable....tnx
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi, Which version of FingerSecurity are you using?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] natget21:
verson of the app for my previous que

Version 2.2 DB version 24
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. That is the problem. You should update to the latest version (2.6.5) :D

Bugs

Unfortunately is not working very well on s5. It says undefined error when i try to unlock a app and if i switch between apps it show the app before changing to another one. The fingerprint manager is not working if i have the app installed. I cannot manage my fingerprints..
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Is there a notification which asks for the backup password? If so then you have to enter your backup password(which you registered during the registration of your fingerprints) to unblock the sensor.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] sswagonman:
Is there a way to modify the amount of times u can try fingerprint before it asks for password? If not is there a way of adding one [MENTION=5950828]Rick Clephas[/MENTION]

Living on the edge
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
No. This is a security feature from the system. FingerSecurity has no control over this.

I am working on the alternative password from FingerSecurity. Which will asks for the alternative password before the system will. (This doesn't mean the sensor can't be blocked by the system anymore)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] bibbycu:
There is no notification, the FingerprintScanner Manager from Settings of my Samsung is getting freeze and i have to force close it. I uninstalled the apps to have access to my settings.

Regarding the Backup password, it is not shown, it shows Undefined error and that's it. The idea of the app is ok but unfortunately is not working very well so i had to uninstall it.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Which version of FingerSecurity were you using?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] bibbycu:
I had the latest version from PlayStore
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. I am going to take a look at this problem.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
I remember this:

and you said it was being tested? Is this what the themes are for? However all the themes available still show that the app is locked with a fingerprint?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Yes. In the latest beta version you can use your own text on the lockscreen as well as for the notification. (The options are part of the themes product)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
Any idea when this version will be on the play store?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This should also be fixed in the update
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] aminhasi22:
Is the home screen issue fixed?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:
After reboot, it will not work unless u open again the fingersecurity app.... Hope u can make it stick after reboot.. Tq for ur hard work op.... Nice app btw..
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] carvajaljn:

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks for the information. I found such problem on my own phone(with xposed) but sinds it is a note 3 and not a s5 i didn't mind.

I will try to fix this.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] sp0r0s:
Great news thanks for adding my request
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Yes this should also be fixed
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
If you install this apk it should work.

Let me know.

If there are other people with such apps please let me know.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Sorry but that was the wrong file :eek:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I checked for you but it is supposed to start on boot and it is working for me(it takes some time depending if the apps is installed on the device or an sd card)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:
For me not working.... Sometimes if i cleared android memory also same thing happen.... Btw the apps that i choose for fingersecurity was system apps (i.e message/camera/gallery)....maybe because of system apps.. Dunno... Will try 3rd party apps....
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Could you give me some more informatoin about the phone root or something
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:
Not running any xposed modules from owning s5 until now bro...

Ok.... Tq bro... Hope u can fixed that issue....

Some Suggestions:

Add an option to keep the service persistent so that it doesnt get killed by task manager

Add trusted Bluetooth connections (Lets say if im at work and use gear watch. I dont want apps to be locked)

Something that could prevent other people from uninstalling this app and gaining access to restricted data.

Love the app, no issues whatsoever. Just purchased PRO. Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks for the usefull options. I will try to add them as soon as posibble
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am not totally sure when since my laptop needs to go for repair :$. But it will be soon :)

Is it possible to make so you can lock one specifik person in the phone book not the whole phone book
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I don't think this is possible but I will take a look at it :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tcntad:
So what the hell do I do now?!!

I flashed SimplRom but wasnt to happy bout it after all. I restored my nandroid. Now I cant use any of my thumbs to login.... Before this app starts I can make it all the way to settings\fingerprint reader and notice 1 print is registered... But nope.

Edit:

Used an app to remove fingersecurity but now I cant re-register my prints...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Are you able to authenticate yourself with your fingerprint in the settings of your device?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] srinathmc:
why my note 4 draining battery very fast by using fingerprint app lock
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
FingerSecurity is designed to drain as less battery as possible. FingerSecurity will be deactivated when the screen is turned off. The battery percentage in the settings is somewhat high but your overall battery life should not change much :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tcntad:
Nope. Settings\Finger scanner \Manager doesnt allow me to me authenticate myself. Nor top unlock the phone.

I can use my alternative password to unlock the phone but in finger scanner it says "Enter your backup password" <I enter it> which gives me the reply "An incorrect backup password has been entered"
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
It sounds like the fingerprint data is corrupted. The only way to solve that is by doing a hard reset :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tcntad:
Sounds bad, really bad.

I entered enough wrong attempts at unlock screen and logged in usin google instead. From there I could change to a pattern based lock, much easier.

But whats the difference between backup password at unlock screen compared to the backup password at finger manager?? I have tried every known password to me still it fails^^
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
During the registration of your fingerprints you specified a backup password.

When you keep trying to unlock you device it will eventually offer alternative methods(e.g. google account) to unlock the device.

So you used an alternative method to remove the fingerprint protection from your lockscreen.

But the fingerprint services itself is still not working :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tcntad:
Nope it doesnt..

Neither does any kind of password I enter in finger manager when trying to delete or change password..

What if I restore that Nandroid backup again?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I don't think that will help but you can always try before doing a hard reset :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tcntad:
Its always worth a try..

Thanks for the help anyways:)

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] reevester:
Can I use this app on an AOSP ROM on my Galaxy Tab S?

The AOSP ROM isn't able to use the Fingerprint scanner but hopefully this app should enable that?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
No unfortunately that is not possible. AOSP Roms don't have the required settings to setup the fingerprint sensor. So the fingerprint sensor won't work. Therefore FingerSecurity won't work either :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Omar_sabha:
I'm trying to buy protect notifications service but when i click on payment methods then it gave me blank page

Please help and advice
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Is the Google Play store installed on your device?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Omar_sabha:
Yes
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. So which version of FingerSecurity are you using?

Are you able to make purchases om the Google Play store?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Omar_sabha:
I have 2.6.5 for app and 28 for db version

I try to buy :

Open the application

Then premiumthen i select

Protect notifications

Then i press continue

Then the blank page appear

Is there another way to buy ?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hmm that seems like a Google Play store problem...

No on the moment you can only purchase in-app products via the Google Play store.

Could you try to clear the cache of the Google Play store? (Settings -> Applications -> Google Play store -> clear cache)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Omar_sabha:
Yes i did , but the same issue
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is weird. Could you contact me via email?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Omar_sabha:
I sent you email yesterday ?

Any news
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I did not get an email :$

Did you try to reinstall FingerSecurity?

Does FingerSecurity show the price of the in-app products?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Omar_sabha:
I fix the problem by removing the google account then add it again

And i bought the service thanks alot for this application
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Great. I am glad the problem is solved :)

Enjoy using FingerSecurity.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Omar_sabha:
Hello

I face problem with protect notifications since its not working now

I disable it then enable the service and make a restart for the device itself but still not working

Note : it was working after i bought it but after thetbits not.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Did you disable the ongoing notification? (The notification that is always shown)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] zooster:
After installing notification protection, is there a way to mask the notification without showing that fingersecurity is masking it? An anonymous masking or a personalized one?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
In the beta version you can specify a custom message for the protected notifications.

Soon this will be the normal version :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Jovan1997:
After last update,I can go to Task manager and kill app(FS) :) It will be dont ask next time when open app for fingerprint :P

*On Note 4 N910C

Cant lock Task Manager

Before:

After:

****Fixed :) just disable and enable again :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Glad you solved the problem :)

When you keep the ongoing notification enabled then the task manager should not let you kill FingerSecurity :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] mettleh3d:
This is an awesome app Rick. Been using it a few months. New update looks great.

May I ask about the function of the recent apps button and possibly disabling it for a protected app.

Ie. I have Google Photos app protected. when you're at the fingerprint screen and hit recent apps button instead, you get a thumbnail preview of the photos within the app - kind of gives you a glimpse.

Disabling recent apps may prevent this? Thoughts? This behavior is especially egregious for sms, hangouts or notes.

Thanks again!

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Lo Xa:
Thanks for the update Rick, it's awesome. Quick question: is there an option to hide the app icon, I mean just my custom message to be appeared, or put them on top of the bg, as from now, with the update, we can change the background and the app icon is big and doesn't look good on the bg. Thank you Rick!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You can still protect the recent apps list. Though I removed the options since you can now protect the "System UI" app from the app list :D

I have been doing a lot of research for the recent apps list but I still don't have a way to hide the protected apps from the list :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am glad you like the update. I have been working on it for a long time :)

No there is not way to hide the app icon on the lockscreen. This is because the icon has a function. When you click on it you will be able to enter you alternative password or pincode :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
I just updated the app and purchased the Use themes options. However it isn't really what I expected it to be. I expected to be able to just have a blank screen with a fake custom error message or something so it isn't obvious that the application is password protected. However the FS logo and 'Fingersecurity" are still written on the screen. That rather defaults the point of having custom text.

Is there any way to completely hide the logo and the app name when unlocking an app?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
On the moment that is not possible.

I am planning on adding an option to show a fake crash dialog :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] zooster:
Rick remember those suggestions I gave you by email, group app and custom notification masking (icon + app name masking) [emoji6]

And I noticed that the app uses too much cpu, more than expected. Around 3% results in a sensible drainage.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I remember the suggestions you send me :)

For the CPU problem. I am trying to find out why the CPU is high after the update. Though restarting the device will fix this :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] combat44:

Bad is an understatement. I'm having this exact issue with my Note 4! I'm on day 2 of this waking nightmare after both Ssmsung & Sprint in their infinite brilliance just want to wipe out my life! It's 2015 for heavens sake. How is it possible that we technologically in the same place we were 10 yrs ago in regards to phone?!

My husband was able to go through Google to put his name number as an owner so I can call him. Other than that......I can only answer incoming calls with my Bose Bluetooth earpiece because the phone is somehow on mute so I can't hear it ringing.

Sorry to just burst into the conversation, but this is the first place that I've found any info on my exact issue.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hello.

So your fingerprint sensor is not working anymore?

You can't scan your fingerprint in the settings of your device?

How to install the themes? I cant find the fingersecurity folder

Skickat från min SM-A800F via Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am sorry I forgot to update the instructions :$

From version 3.0 and up there is a buttom on the themes dialog. It says "import". Just click on it and you will be able to import the theme file :)

P.S. I am going to update the instructions now.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hrh_fourtyseven:
Nice update. Tnx

But there is a bug!

Do this

1 Protect gallery in fingersecurity

2 lock the phone

3 open camera from lock screen

4 take a pic

5 try to open the pic

Now you cant pass fingersecurity!

In old version fingersecurity does not work when the phone was locked at all. Its good that it works now but if you can fix this problem...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I just tested it and you are right. You won't be able to scan your fingerprint....

Though you can use the alternative password :) I will see if I can fix this :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Soapstef:
No. It isn't working. There is no light or slight vibration when I run my finger over the button. You don't even realize you should be trying it until the incorrect password message pops up after 5 attempts at the password. The entire time the screen blinking on 1 line prompting you to enter a password.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Does the alternative password still work?
