Hello!

For everyone who wants to remove the fingerprint animation, that greatly decreases the time to unlock the device, you just have to:

1 - Install the app Settings Database Editor
2 - Open the app
3 - Touch on "+ Add new setting"
4 - Type fod_animation_type
5 - Save changes
6 - Set 4 as value
7 - Save changes
8 - Done

This app does not require root.

To enable the animation again just remove that setting or edit the value (to 1 or 2 or even 3)

Cheers!

Useful instruction, I think many will come in handy and like it. Only the speed does not seem to affect, either for the better or for the worse. But still, turning off the animation - a useful thing).
Thank!)

Thanks for this tip. It is certainly faster as don't have to wait for animation to unlock. By the way, is there a way to stop fingerprint vibration too? That will save battery ...

The speed gain from this is minimal, though without the animation you can tell that the delay is probably the software's fault and not the sensors . Just put your finger on the sensor and remove it immediately. You 'll see that it unlocks but with the same delay as if you had your finger on it. So from my point of view there's still hope for a faster unlock on a future update.

    The only reason most people would buy this device is because of stock android and lack of xiaomi crapware. You want to use miui? Amazing.

    Thanks man, was looking for this for a while now. Do you have any idea how can I disable the green dot that appears on the screen on the fingerprint as well?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Yeah, disable FP sensor.. :) The green circle is how sensor illuminates the finger so it can see its features.

    Btw. animation doesn't make sensor any slower. It's there probably to distract user from waiting for the processing and unlocking (and to confirm that sensor is doing something).

    Wish there was a way to remove vibration. Sometimes i dont want to unlock, but it must vibrate.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Go to Settings - Accessibility - Vibration and set Touch Vibration to off.
