This app turns the fingerprint sensor on Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge into a capacitive Home button - so you don't need to press the button physically, just touch it like a sensoric button. This is FREE version - you need to manually pause the service before you can authenticate with your fingerprint in other apps, PRO version has ability to pause automatically so you can use your fingerprint in other apps without hassle.App service runs in foreground and there is a persistent notification placed in the notification bar. If you don't like the persistent notification, just hold you finger on the notification - settings will be opened and you can disable it (notification will be hidden but app still works fine).You can quickly pause/disable the service from the notification, or better use the Quick Settings custom tile (Android 7+ feature). The app service needs to be temporary disabled if you want to authenticate with your fingerprint in other apps. You can get the PRO version which includes the whitelist feature to automatically disable Fingertouch service for specified apps.Android 7+ is required, this app is battery efficient so there is no negative impact on battery. App service is active only when screen is ON and is automatically paused when screen is off, thus does not interfere with fingerprint unlock.Please exclude the app from battery saving options to prevent it being killed by the system.This app rely on Samsung SDK so it will probably work only on official or modified Samsung firmware.Don't forget to register at least one fingerprint in the system settings, otherwise the app may not work.FAQ:Q: How it works?A: This app simulates the HOME button press when you touch the fingerprint sensor. "Go to homescreen" intent is send to Android OS so it is very similar to real HOME button, but not exactly the same.Q: How can I disable the vibration feedback?A: You can disable the vibration feedback completely by changing the system vibration intensity to 0. Go to system SETTINGS > SOUNDS AND VIBRATION> VIBRATION INTENSITY> Vibration feedback.Q: I can't use the double tap camera feature!A: Try to increase touch delay in Fingertouch settings or get the PRO version and add Camera app to the whitelist.Q: How can I remove the persistent notification icon from status bar?A: Long press the notification - notification settings will be opened and you can disable it completely. Please note that once the notification is disabled, Android can kill the Fingertouch app service, so it is advised to exclude this app from any battery saving options.Q: Can I use the fingerprint authentication feature in other apps while Fingertouch service is running?A: When Fingertouch app service is active, you cannot use fingerprint authentication. But you can add custom tile (Android 7+ feature) to the notification bar to quickly toggle (pause/resume) the Fingertouch service. Pause it before the fingerprint authentication is requested and resume after authentication. Or use the whitelist feature in PRO version for such apps.Source code: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fingertouchapp/
