Always-On Fingerprint

An LSPosed module that restores screen-off fingerprint unlocking for Pixel devices with optical sensors.

Description

Starting with the Android 16 QPR3 release, Google completely removed the ability to use the optical fingerprint scanner while the screen is off. Even the previously known workaround via ADB: adb shell settings put secure screen_off_udfps_enabled 1 has stopped working. Always-On Fingerprint bypasses this artificial limitation, bringing back the seamless “screen-off” unlock experience to your older Pixels!

Installation

1. Install the APK.
2. Enable the Always-On Fingerprint module in LSPosed Manager.
3. Ensure System UI (com.android.systemui) and Settings (com.android.settings) are selected in the module’s scope.
4. Reboot your device.
5. Navigate to Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Device Unlock -> Fingerprint and enable Screen-off Fingerprint Unlock

Compatibility

• Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, Pro, 7a, Fold, 8, 8 Pro, 8a
