Hi I don't realy know how people do this normal as you may have seen I am new to this and only 16 years old. I like programming and I am verry glad that you guys want to help me make my app as good as possible. And I see what you mean but I don't realy see what the hole effect of the pro version on the store would be if it's free on here... :what:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] atilla88:
The free version is fully functional except for the wifi unlock feature so it does what it should,would you like to work for free?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] sp0r0s:
of course not! i'm just saying that the pro version would be like a reward for beta testing this.

but i understand that the developer must make something for his hard work so i just expressed my opinion.

i know that many people will not pay or donate anything for the app so what i suggested is not good for the developer. again don't get me wrong i don't like piracy and i have donated many times for apps, roms, and kernels in xda

[MENTION=5950828]Rick Clephas[/MENTION] i undestand what you're saying. keep up the good work man!

On the moment I am not planning on adding a dark UI theming option. Why would you like this?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] cerebralzulu:
I like Alozide would like a dark theme. I use dark theme apps in the rest of my setup. Either way, great app.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay, I will consider adding an option for this :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] alozide:
Thanks in advance :) :good:

Hi! I'm not using Samsung but Redmi Note 3 Pro. And im having this issue. Your app kept telling me to give it usage access and when i open the setting menu, the finger security app is not there. I mean there is no finger security app listed there, so what should i do?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is weird. Is your Redmi Note 3 Pro running the latest firmware update? Also which version of FingerSecurity are you using?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Tan2lar:
Latest i guess, i'm using custom ROM - Resurrection Remix btw.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay, It might a bug in the ROM... or the location of the setting is different. Could you make some screenshots of the usage access setting and the settings under "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "FingerSecurity"?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] androidbreaker:
Hi can you make this app available digit the honor 7 as it has a fingerprint scanner/reader

Much appreciated
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] DrBazinga:
Same here on my OnePlus 2 running a CM13-based ROM... :(
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Tan2lar:
I'm not discourage this app but i would recommend Xposed module named MaxLock. It works perfectly, just like built-in app lock and 100% no delay. But if you don't have any applock, this FingerSecurity is the best applock out there.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I just added the Honor 7 to the list of compatible device. You should be able to download FingerSecurity from the Play Store in a couple hours :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am sorry to hear that. Could you contact me me via email? Hopefully we can fix this problem :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] androidbreaker:
Thanks and it's working well
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Great! Enjoy using FingerSecurity :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] kumuyi:

Oneplus 2 disabled fingerprint

So heres what happend...

My Oneplus 2 got a finger print hardware problem..

I had set up the fake "stopped working" lockscreen.

And now that I dont have a physically working fingerprint print scanner I cant access or uninstall the app. I sure as hell want to avoid DATA wipe as much as possible.. Help me out here please...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am sorry to hear you are experiencing problem with the fingerprint sensor.

When you have enabled the "fake crash" option then you should be able to use the alternative password by long clicking on the text of the dialog.

If this doesn't work then please contact me via email so that we can try to find a solution for this :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Reechings:
I'm having same issue where Fingersecurity is not showing up in the list of apps with usage access so I can't finish initial setup. I am also using Resurrection Remix latest build for S5. All of the other permissions are activated for the Fingersecurity app. Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi, I am sorry to hear you are facing issues using FingerSecurity.

Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with the Resurrection Remix ROM since FingerSecurity isn't the only app that is not being shown in the list of apps with usage access. (So far it seems all third party apps have this problem...)

I really hope that the developers of the ROM will fix this soon :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Reechings:
Sorry to hear that, hopefully it will be fixed for nougat based roms for RR. I am currently waiting for the arrival of my Pixel XL so will be a moot point soon. Thanks for your reply and your continued support and development of this app. I was around when you first started this project :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You are welcome. Enjoy your Pixel XL :)

I am glad to hear you like FingerSecurity that much. It is already been 2 years since the first release ?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] DedushkaMisha:
Delay

Improved protection is on, but it doesn't fix the delay thing. How do I fix this?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
This depends on which delay you mean. Also the Android version (Marshmallow or pre Marshmallow) can affect this. Do you mean the delay in FingerSecurity protecting the apps. Or a delay in reading your fingerprint?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] DedushkaMisha:
delay in FingerSecurity protecting the apps. I'm on lollipop. The weird thing is that sometimes there's no delay, but sometimes there is. Apart from this the app is perfect. And thanks for the quick response.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. Could you try to disable the improved protection option. On Lollipop it doesn't always help to improve the speed. (It does however on Marshmallow)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] DedushkaMisha:
Disabled it and there's no more delay! Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Great! You are welcome. Keep in mind that when you update to Marshmallow then it is better to enable the option again :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] AMaXOnLine:
Works perfectly on my OP3. So I bought 2 options. :)

Where can I find themes please ?

Or tuto to do one my self maybe ?

No problem, enjoy making themes :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] klau1:
Love the app Rick!

Are there any plans to add WiFi unlock using SSIDs that are not saved?

I would like to manually enter SSIDs that can unlock FingerSecurity even when not saved or connected.

There should also be a way to scan for the SSIDs without having to turn on the WiFi.

The use case for example is when you want to use 3G connection for data while being at a safe WiFi location to be unlocked.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am glad to hear you love the app :)

I am planning on taking a look at such a feature. I can see that in some cases this could be very useful.

Though I am not yet sure if and when an option for this will be available. This depends on how well it will work (and how it affects the battery).

Best regards,

Rick Clephas
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] klau1:
Thanks for the quick response Rick.

Hopefully WiFi SSID survey can still work with the WiFi switched off. Android seems to have a built in way to survey SSIDs even when WiFi is switched off for location tracking and such.

Basically the WiFi is kept on even when switched off for location serivces, this way WiFi is prevented from automatically connecting to saved SSIDs.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You are welcome.

Yeah that should indeed be possible though I believe you can disable the background scanning.

Best regards,

Rick Clephas
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] vrgolin:
nice app. works nice on my S7e, I bought 3 premium options. in the theme section. background options, there is the way to see live wallpappers? or see the same home wallpaper ? I'm using Random wallpaper app. (Tapet app.) thanks for your support.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am glad to hear you like FingerSecurity.

On the moment you can't use your home wallpaper as background for the FingerSecurity lockscreen. (currently your home wallpaper will only be used when the fake crash option is enabled).

Though I am planning on adding an option for this so that you can also use your home wallpaper without the fake crash option :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] vrgolin:
there is the way to block the notification settings? thanks for your support.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Which notification settings would you like to protect? Do you mean the notification settings in your device settings?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] vrgolin:
Yes, the one you swipe down the screen , thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okey I see, you would like to protect the notifications shown by your protected apps, right?

FingerSecurity has a special premium option for this. It is called "Protect Notifications". First you should purchase the option on the premium page inside FingerSecurity.

After that you can enable the option on the settings page (this will protect all notifications from all your protected apps). You can also click on a specific app in the list of protected apps and enable the "custom settings" and "protect notifications" options. (This will only protect all notifications from that particular app).

I hope my explanation helps a little. Let me know if you have any other questions :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] vrgolin:
Yes I understand, I have bought all premiums option, I have to play with the settings
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Great! Enjoy the premium options :)

What is the battery consumption of this app?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] omarrph:
How to use screen lock as phone lock screen ?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Mirza_Husnain:
Protected app shows its contents in recent app list (bug)

In this app. when a app is locked with fignersecurity, there is option to lock the Recent app list, that will locked the whole recent apps , but this is not desirable. Please do a option to hide app preview in recent app list for only the app that is protected.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
FingerSecurity is designed to use as less battery as possible.

Though the actual battery consumption depends greatly on your device usage. Normally the battery percentage used by FingerSecurity is around 1%.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Currently it is not possible to use FingerSecurity as your device lock screen.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is correct. On the moment FingerSecurity does only provide an option to protect the whole recent apps window.

I am trying to find a good way to only protect the protected apps in the recent apps list :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] omarrph:
Can it be added in future? I am using Dr Ketan m9 Rom for note 4 so it's been difficult to add lock screen as it used to be while on stock ..

Am admirer of your app bro and being using since early days. Kindly if you can then do add this in future updates .. that would be cool :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I will see if I can add an option to use FingerSecurity as the device lockscreen :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ciorofleasca:
my phone keeps not recognizing my fingerprint. anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] cooltop101:
That's probably just part of your phone's hardware, no phone (that I am aware) has a 100% accurate fingerprint sensor, look on Google for people with your phone mentioning the fingerprint sensor and how accurate it is

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------

So I have another fingerprint app of sorts that when I tap the sensor it opens a menu with some shortcuts, so whenever I lock my phone and then unlock it, your app pops up, I unlock it, it pops up again, I unlock it, the other app pops up, I close it then your app pops up again and I unlock it again and finally I can get into the locked app
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ciorofleasca:
Thanks, I just felt mine was extra lousy at recognizing my fingerprint and wanted to check if anyone else has this happen.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
If this only happens with FingerSecurity then make sure that you scan your finger after the fingerprint animation starts animating.

If your fingerprint isn't recognized well in other apps or on the device lockscreen as well then try to register your fingerprints again. (Scan the finger from a couple of angles to make it more accurate).
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That doesn't sound very handy.

Could you contact me via email?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Mirza_Husnain:
No need to hide the whole list.. you have to show a custom/black wallpaper for that protected app in the Recent app list..

However , I have an app that has this functionality, (this app shows a black screen for the protected app in the Recent app list). Also that app is working with xposed permission (is an xposed module).

The app is 'Fingerlock'

The development for this app has been stoped i think.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That would indeed be the best way to hide the contents of the protected apps.

Unfortunately to show a black screen for other apps you need an Xposed Module.

I am trying to find a way to do this without root though if I can't find another way I will probably add it as a root option :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Mirza_Husnain:
Thank you very much for instant reply..

And please add root as well as xposed 'option' in it..

The 'option', that if anybody wants, use it .

It will be the best app for fingerlock users..
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] SacredDeviL666:
This app can be easily killed using long press recents even after giving device administrator access. Which kills the purpose of a app lock.

Intruder alert doesn't give an option to email.

No customizable option for the intruder alert to be initiated. . .
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks I will do my best :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
So by long pressing recent. What does that do? Does it kill all apps? (I am not familiar with this)

An option to send the intruder images via email or store them on Google Drive is on my to do list :)

What kind of custom option would you like to initiate the intruder alert?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] whynottoday:
Any news for that great application ?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
On the moment school requires a lot of my time. Therefore I can't work as much on FingerSecurity as I would like. Though I hope to publish a new version not too long from now.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] davincc:
I like the app..it just theres a bug i think..when my fingerprints cannot be read then it will freeze on the screen that keep telling another identification is already in progress..wait for 1 hour still stuck there..

The other things is I have a request..if u may remove the FS logo when the app prompted the fprints...I mean I love my background n the fp indicator..but not the FS logo upon it..can you?

Reply me at email : vincentiusalfred@gmail.com

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] davincc:
Anything new bro?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi. No I am sorry I haven't had enough time yet to implement an option to hide or change the location of the app icon.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jlk_250:
Hi. I'm hoping either the developer or anyone else can help me out. I have an LG V10 that has never been rooted and is on Android 6.0. I do not use a lock screen. About a year ago I wanted to try the fingerprint sensor so I set up a PIN and used it for a while, plus I installed Fingerprint Security. It was fun to dabble with but I don't want a PIN so I disabled it. Somehow, I don't remember how, I was able to use Fingerprint Security to protect a select few apps without using a PIN lockscreen. This is how it's been for the last six months or so. No PIN but the fingerprint sensor was active and I used Fingerprint Security to control access to a few apps, used the fingerprint sensor option for Google Play Store app purchases, and the fingerprint sensor option for the PayPal app (built into the PayPal app, not Fingerprint Security). All was fine and Fingerprint Security worked well for the most part, only occasionally needing the backup code to be entered when the fingerprint scanner didn't work for whatever reason.

Today I wanted to install a work account on my phone and they required a six-digit PIN and a lock screen. Also required encrypting my phone using the Google Apps Device Policy app. Once I got it (my corporate work email) all working I remembered how much I hate lock screens and uninstalled the lot of it (the work account), which blew out my stored fingerprints when I reverted to no screen lock. Then any app protected by Fingerprint Security was locked out since no fingerprint was stored. I reinstated a PIN lock, taught a fingerprint, and was able to remove all apps from Fingerprint Security protection. But now I can't figure out how I ever got fingerprints to stay taught without having a lock screen enabled. All I want to do is go back to the way it was before I blew out my stored fingerprints!

A Google search turns up only people saying you can't enable fingerprints without a lock screen. Well, I somehow did it without root so it was at least possible at some point in time, somehow. But how did I do it? I do have Tasker and recall playing with enabling/disabling the lock screen based on location, but I never saved anything and don't remember being successful. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi, I am sorry to hear your having problems getting your fingerprints to work without a lock screen.

I don't own a LG V10 so I can't help you with the specifics of the device.

Though I just tried to achieve this on my Galaxy S8+.

On the S8 it is possible. To do this I went to the settings for the lockscreen type. Then I chose that I didn't want a lockscreen. This gave me the following message:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jlk_250:
Hmm. I don't get that but it gives me hope that the manufacturers or Google will allow further use of fingerprint sensors without lock screens. Or maybe I am just missing something obvious on my V10 that someone else will point out.

Thanks for checking on your phone and for posting the screen shot.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You are welcome. Good luck with searching and I hope that this is also possible on the LG V10 as it is a great option to have (especially when the fingerprint sensor is on the back) :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] AriesTruong:
[MENTION=5950828]Rick Clephas[/MENTION] Do you have any plan for backup and restore feature. I think everyone need backup/restore setting and protected apps.

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Ivanhoe_pl:
Does anyone have problem with unlocking the app when it rains? I`ve Samsung S7 and during rain i can unlock the lock screen with build in system security but can`t unlock fingerprint locked apss. Is there any solution for that?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi. I would expect unlocking your device or apps to be a lot harder when it rains. Though they should both work or both not work. There is no difference in how your fingerprint is scanned.

When you walk in the rain and unlocking an app fails. If you then lock your device and try to unlock it with your fingerprint, then in your case you are able to unlock device?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Ivanhoe_pl:
Yes but not in this order. First I unlock device and I succeed (of course using fingerprint) . Then when i`m trying to unlock the app (in my case it`s sms app) i get information that the fingerprint quality is too low.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. Well it might be possible that the sensor didn't have water on it when you unlocked the phone. But after you touched the screen there might have been some water on your finger.

When this happens in reverse order then it would be a little strange :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Ivanhoe_pl:
Yes it might be something like that. But the strange thing is when i lock my phone once again second later and i`m trying to unlock it, i get the same situation. I can unlock phone but can`t unlock Fingersecurity locked app.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hmm okay. That is weird. FingerSecurity let's the system handle the scanning process. So I would think that there is no difference in the two scanning processes.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] drmpk:
I leave a request. This is a great app indeed. Is it possible to implement iris scanning or face recognition biometric option in addition to finger print option to lock the apps. Iris scanning feature is available on latest samsung flagships like s8, s8 plus and note 8. It would be more convenient to use iris scanning as a lock option as the finger print readers on these phones are situated at odd place.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi. I totally agree!

Unfortunately at the moment Samsung doesn't allow third party apps to use the iris scanner.

Hopefully they will allow this soon. Then I will definitely try to implement the iris scanner in FingerSecurity :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Is it normal, that I can uninstall this app and so there is no security?

Gesendet von meinem XT1635-02 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] dukedoom:
I was looking for something like this to block the "Contacts" and "Messages" native Android apps. Unfortunately, this app has some fatal flaws to be taken seriously:

1) When I click on the blocked app, I can see it for a split of a second. For example, I can see my Contacts or my Messages before I get prompted to enter a fingerprint.

2) If I try to open the app, when I get the prompted to enter a fingerprint, if I go back (in my S7, the left tactile button) and then I go to the "multi window" thing with the left tactile button I can actually see a thumbnail of my Contacts, Messages or whatever that should be blocked by the Fingersecurity app , it looks like this:

If for example I blocked "Smart Switch" app with Fingersecurity, I shouldn't be able to see anything there..

Please fix this.
