Can we still protect the recent apps screen? I can't find that option anymore. Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. Sorry.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
In the new version you can now protect the "System UI" app from the app list so I removed the option :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tedkord:
Yeah, sorry. I found where you wrote that a few pages back right before you posted this answer.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] 0-0-0:
The latest update (the second of the two recent ones) to the app causes constant "Unfortunately, FingerSecurity has stopped" messages. I'm using a 910F 4.4.4. rooted stock ROM.

It still works to protect the lockscreen, but the apps are unprotected.

Is there website available so I can download the previous version?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
There were some problems with version 3.1 so I uploaded version 3.1.1 an hour later. So if you are using the 3.1 version please update to 3.1.1.

There is also a new feature called "fake crash" it gives you the exact error you described. If this is the case then you can still scan your finger on that screen :) This is a new option and you can disable it in the themes settings.

Let me know if this solves your problem :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] 0-0-0:
Thanks for the reply.

I am using 3.1.1. using 3.1 didn't cause any problems.

When I look in Themes, everything is greyed out apart from "Fingerprint Indicator".

Also when I get the error message, all apps are instantly unlocked, there's no option for swiping.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hmm Okay. Could you click the report button when FingerSecurity crashes?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] 0-0-0:
"Luckily" it has crashed again, report sent.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is weird. It says your device does not have wifi... :$ It does right?

Could you try to restart your device?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] 0-0-0:
Yes it has WiFi.

I've tried restarting and pulling out the battery etc.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
It also seems you are using Xposed. Did you add or update any module?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] 0-0-0:
Yes the Pro version 3.6.19.

But, I've not updated/altered it or added/removed other modules between updated FingerSecurity from 3.1. to 3.1.1.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. Could you contact me via email? You can find my email address on the Google Play Store page :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] 0-0-0:
OK, emailed you. Email title is "FingerSecurity 3.1.1. Crashes".
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tcntad:
No worries:) I felt the same.

Samsung did a good job, its all about security. We shoudnt know where the print is stored and how its used.

Cant you do the same as me? Fail too many attempts. use google to login and change so you atleast can use the phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Al-Mobarmge:
I hope you would support other devices have Finger Print Scanners soon Such as Huawei Ascend Mate 7 the device i own right now or the HTC M9+ . Great work keep it Up :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I would love to support other devices. Unfortunately as far as I know Samsung is the only manufacture that allows third party apps to use their fingerprint sensor :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] toi1em:
Great apps, purchased
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks. I am glad you like FingerSecurity :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ddlg2007:
Is awesome app, I just dont like the customization, don't like pink icon. I have purchased the premium extra from app for customize. But is not enough.

-I can't change all the text in lock screen. There is possible change only one of 2.

-I can't change icon in lock screen or move the position.

-I can't hide the icon in the bar notification. That make anyone know what I am using to protect my apps.

All other future is just perfect at the moment.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am glad you like FingerSecurity.

I don't see why people would like to change the name and icom of the protected apps so that is why there are no options for that :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Storken:
Sometimes the Fingersecurity stops when it does that, the security is gone, why don't the software restart when it happening (sorry for my english)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This is for security. It would be bad if apps could restart after they are being stopped.

To keep FingerSecurity running you should keep the ongoing notification enabled :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Ionut Ciprian:
This must be fixed Rick, and you know this. This problem was not present on previous version, but since the big upgrade ...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This problem was also present in the older versions just not much people had this. I am still trying to find why it happens more after the update but it doesn't have priority since there is no problem when you keep the ongoing notification enabled. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] toi1em:
I notice your app use 1% battery on my Galaxy S6. I think better you can reduce this usage.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
The 1% battery usages means FingerSecurity has used 1% of the used amount of the battery. That means that when your battery is at 50% FingerSecurity has used (1% × 50%) 0.5% of your total battery.

This is great for an app that has to run in the background all day :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] toi1em:
It can more optimizing.

One simple way can by pass your app: Go to app manager, kill your running service, even when turn on Advance Security.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Ionut Ciprian:
This is where you are wrong. Just keep your ongoing notification active and it will not be killed.

Just for your info: you can protect your smart manager as well so no one can accidentally kill your apps. [emoji6]
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] toi1em:
I hate notification. Compare with AppLock of DoMobile, you cannot kill it without password and not need notification.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I will take a look at that. That should not be possible :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I just checked and it is still working for me. Did you disable the ongoing notification?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Ionut Ciprian:
I do not know how other apos are ddoung but this is the best trust me.

More than this Rick is always here to help.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] toi1em:
Yes, I disable notification. But I hate to see it every time. You can read my post to Ionut.

Yes, I love this app too and purchased. I just want it better.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
The ongoing notification is the best way to prevent the app from being killed. If it is not then I would have used another way.

There are apps that use a helper app but that will use more battery then required. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
When I have time I will see if I can find another way to prevent the app from being killed but I am afraid there is no good alternative :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Ionut Ciprian:
Rick, you have a PM
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] smohta123:
Dear,how to add more finger in this app. I cant found any option..

Please help

Thanks

Sourabh Mohta
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
FingerSecurity uses the fingerprints registered in your device settings.

There is a category called fingerprints or it is under security. Depending on your device you can add up to 3 or 4 fingerprints. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] micu999:
Rick, thank you so much for this app, i love it. Can i add some suggestions? Please make fingerprint indicator animation less choppy and bit faster?

Im using G920F. Thanks dude. Keep it up the good work.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am glad you like FingerSecurity :$

I will see what I can do about the animation :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] didou42:
Good app very usefull
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] bernardopiazzalunga:
Rick, could u make an option to make the text "protected by fingersecurity, by Rick Clephas" disappears? You could make this option payed, like the others. Im sure lot of people would buyt it.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
In version 3.0 and up there is an option to change the text. It is part of the use themes product.

If you want to make the text invisible (so you don't want to change the text) then you can just type a space as text :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ksekhar:
Hi Rick, I've used this on my galaxy s6 edge and really liked it. Can you add support for Oneplus 2 as well? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I would love to support the OnePlus Two (and other devices). Unfortunately as far as I know Samsung is the only manufacturer that allows third party apps to use their fingerprint sensors :$

If you find any third party app that uses the fingerprint sensor on your device let me know :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] rkrohan:
Hey Rick,could you please remove the notification which says 'your apps are being protected ' because I douse that fake crash thingy so I wouldn't like my cousins to know that I want them to stay off of my tablet.

Thanks[emoji3]
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
There already is an option to hide the notification. It is in the general settings and it is called "ongoing notification". Please note that this might reduce the performance :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] TheGoD:
Any chance to support none fingerprint devices in the future? Your app just protects my apps just so reliable that i would also like to use it on my phone and you already have the alternate password unlock in place anyway.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi, I don't think I will support device without a fingerprint sensor. There are already a lot of apps that do this with passwords or patterns :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] toi1em:
Bug report: Facebook Messenger can not lock popup notification, when click on circle bubble, an window will open
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This is not a bug. It simply is not possible to protect these kind of notifications :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] mettleh3d:
Hey Rick why is my s6e not s compatible device on the play store? Cannot download your app

Sent from my SM-G925T
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi. I think you are living in a country where you are not allowed to purchase apps (or in-app products). Since FingerSecurity has in-app products then you can't download the app from the Play Store :$

Though FingerSecurity is also available on the Galaxy App Store :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hasek82:
Any new themes :)?

Skickat från min SM-G928F via Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
No. Unfortunately I don't have much time to work on the app (or themes) due to school..... :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] arbaz.kagzi:
xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960/

Thanks for ur hard work.....
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Unfortunately I don't have very much time due to a lot of school work. Though I started on a Xposed module :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] arbaz.kagzi:
eagerly waiting fr ur module.....thanks in advance...!!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] zooster:
With last beta notification are not locked. The app is locked but on notification drop down messages are visible.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Which version of FingerSecurity are you using?

Did you enable the protect notifications option in the general or in the custom settings?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] zooster:
Ok, I forgot to enable notification protection in general settings. But actually why is it possible to enable it per app if general option is disabled? Per app setting should be conditional to the general one, therefore it should stay grayed out (with an hint) until the general one is enabled... [emoji6]
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This is a bug :$ I am working on a fix. After you granted FingerSecurity permission to read the notifications then you can disable the option in the general settings and it should work as expected :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ashish11:
HI

I have found issue that if mobile is idle for some time then Fingersecurity app gets killed in background. It bypass the applications secured and open without the security :( . It is getting killed consistently if kept idle :(

I am using Samsung S6 Edge.

Please help with this.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
It sounds like you disabled the ongoing notification. If so please enable it again to get optimal performance :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ashish11:
Its enabled already and still its getting killed if it is idle for some time. I have checked all your posts and have enabled all options properly.

I think the issue is that when it gets idle, it kills in background for battery performance.

Also, the notification in the notification area does not show if phone is idle even if the ongoing notification is enabled. If you run again Fingerprint security application then it works properly.

Please help with this.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Are you using a lockscreen?

FingerSecurity stops working when the device goes to idle. Though it should start again when you wake the device up :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ashish11:
No lockscreen. I swipe to open screen. Also if you run again Fingerprint security application then it works properly. Also, the notification in the notification area does not show if phone is idle even if the ongoing notification is enabled. I have given u screenshot of settings that i have kept.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is strange. Could you try to reinstall FingerSecurity?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ashish11:
It worked reinstalling again. Thanks :)

But it is strange :confused: As in this need to be done everytime if this issue comes again :(

Will let u know if this issue occurs again, For time being its working properly now. THANKS
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Yeah sometimes there are weird things haha. I can't explain why this happens or why this fixes it.

Though I am glad it is working now :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
How do i enable security for the recent apps screen?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
When you want to protect the recent apps window then you should protect the "System-UI" app. The name might be different in other languages. Just search for "systemui" in the list with unprotected apps :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
Perfect. Thanks

Another question, If for example I protect Hangouts, When i get a notification it says hangouts and then the custom message I have give it underneath. Is there anyway to hide the name of the app from the notification altogether?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
No that is not possible. This would not be helpful either since you will open the app when you click on the notification :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
I'll have to make something using tasker that will automatically dismiss the notification from hangouts and create another notification from tasker itself with a random message. So clicking on the nofitication will have no effect then.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Why would you like to do this?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] idi_idi:
Just so the name of the application cannot be seen from the notification. No other reason really.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] tyvm96:
Working great on my note 5 thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] drmpk:
Great app. but i have a problem.

How do i disable fingerprint indicator from showing up?

I did toggle Fingerprint indicator to not be shown in settings, but it still shows.

It is annoyingly conspicuous. I can change to different indicator under themes (Purchased) but cant disable on my Galaxy Note 4 running 5.1.1. Please help
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am very sorry for the inconvenience. I accidentally removed a part of this option :$

I uploaded a new version to the Google Play store with a fix (it is currently being approved by Google) :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] drmpk:
Great. How long will it take to be available as a update?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Google says it requires 24 hours on average :$

So hopefully it will be available within 12 hours (I uploaded it yesterday)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] drmpk:
Strangely it did work for me about a hour ago. before i purchased theme support. But after that it is not working. One more thing, sorry for this. I dont have any use of Protect Notifications feature as it reveals the app name on the notification bar and is not working altogether for whatsapp for some reason. Can i get a refund for Protect Notification option?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] drmpk:
Where is the updated version you mentioned that fixes disable fingerprint indicator from showing up.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Google is still reviewing it... It seems there are very busy or something.

I just contacted them and they are going to take a look at this and will get back to me at the end of the day :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] danplc928:
Since updating to the latest version, the app keeps popping up a notification asking for "usage data access". Why would the app need access to my device usage?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This is because Google has changed they way how apps can access this information.

Before apps could just see what apps are being used with a permission. Google has changed it so that the user has to allow this manually. Now Google has taken this even further since new firmware versions have disabled the old way completely.

So it is not new that FingerSecurity can access which apps are being used. It is just that you have to give permission for it.

(It is possible that FingerSecurity works without this permission. Though I strongly recommend you to enable it so that FingerSecurity keeps working in case you get a firmware update) :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] danplc928:
Thanks for the explanation.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] agrawalakshat23:
Hey Rick nice app there. i am using it for a long time now, only thing which i don't like it is ram consumption. its currently using 112mb of ram. I am using Galaxy ALPHA and its completely stock. because of this particular app my phone is getting lagy and is draining battery like anything.

-AKSHAT
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks.

I am trying to reduce the RAM usage :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] mettleh3d:
Rick, I've a Samsung s6e on tmobile Model 925t. Finger Security doesn't show up for me in the store any idea why?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] le0.br4zuc4:
Your app is awesome. I use since I got my Galaxy S5.

Since the update before this last one I had an issue. Every time I need to scan my fingerprint in order to access a protected app, your app freezes on the screen I captured and attached here.

It won't let me scan my finger, it just freezes there.

I have a Verizon Note 5. Any ideas I should do? I tried uninstalling the app and installing it again.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This is the introduction. You should click on the screen to proceed with it :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] le0.br4zuc4:
Hahahah do you have any idea how stupid I feel now? Lol
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I have a feeling :) But don't worry it can happen to anyone.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jocaferlo:
Hi.

I just discovered this app yesterday and I liked it.

To be perfect for me there are missing a couple of features:

-Integration with Tasker: I read something about this in the thread but at what point is this? It works already?

If the integration with Tasker work would not be necessary the following:

- Automatically LOCK the apps at specific locations.

-A shortcut to lock/unclock the apps instead a widget.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am glad you like FingerSecurity. I am not quite sure if I am going to integrate Tasker.

On the moment you can already lock your apps at specific locations(wifi, bluetooth and wearable) when you have purchased the "Location Based Security" product :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] geovass:
Any future updates to support the new Nexus devices?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jocaferlo:
I think that with "Location Based Security" I can UNLOCK apps at specific locations, but no LOCK apps.

Am I mistaken?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am trying to support the Nexus devices :) Unfortunately it seems there is a problem with the API :$
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You can specify safe locations so where your app needs to be unlocked. So no, you can't specify where your apps need to be locked. They will be locked when you aren't at a safe location.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] zolee_:
What if all locations are safe and one or 2 are not (like for me)? There is a place I have to have my phone out for prolonged period of time and sometimes give it to other people to use it. There is a sense of having the both posibilities.

Great app by the way!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Yeah. I will see what I can do :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Androiduser148:
Great app! Works very well with my Note 5!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] wills_97:
Why finger security still lock my apps on the safe place. Am i doing it wrong?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Could you check if you enabled custom settings for your protected apps? Click on the protected app in the list of protected apps. Then check if the option custom settings is enabled. If so then you also need to set your safe locations there :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] EatYerFace:
Working great! Thanks for all your hard work.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You are welcome :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] pirulin:
Security

Hi sorry for that (my apologies to developer) , but as I plan to use this app to protect sensible apps (bank app) i need to be sure that the app will not do anything with my data or will be insecure, connect to internet or something. Can I trust this app?

Cheers
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi. I understand that you are concerned about your privacy. I can tell you that apps don't have access to your actual fingerprint. The recognition process is handled by the system. The internet permission is needed for the in-app purchase via the Galaxy App store as well as Google Analytics(you can disable this in the setup). FingerSecurity does not send any personal information to servers. When you enable Google Analytics then FingerSecurity will collect anonymous(the data can't be linked back to you) data like which apps are being unlocked.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] pirulin:
Hi Rick , thanks for the quick answer. My fear is not about the fingerprint itself rather than the app passwords , but thinking it again I guess is a unfounded fear. I just installed it and will use, very nice work.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is great :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] geovass:
Hm... :( - Thats so bad; Thanks for you help :)

Missing this app so much on my 6P ??
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] sswagonman:
Hey rick do u need a tester on the 6p? Hoping so [MENTION=5950828]Rick Clephas[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Well on the moment there is not much to test... On the Nexus devices the fingerprint API is not working like expected. I am trying to find a fix :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] :
Hi. I use it in note4. If i lock Facebook messenger, i still can go to it through Facebook, without need to unlock.. Is there any fix/setting for this?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Unfortunately there is no fix for this. It seems Facebook includes the messenger in the Facebook app itself aswell...

The only solution would be to protect the Facebook app :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] navin_bvr:
Awesome app. Works flawlessly on Note5. Happy with the performance hence bought premium features. Thanks dev.
