Android 6.0 Fingerprint Scanner and Multi Window

[therazrguy]

Hi guys, i just recently updated my nexus to 6.0. I used the factory image and did a clean install, so now my phone is not rooted and I have to wait for 6.0 root. Anyways my question is, since updating I could not find any fingerprint scanner option in the settings of nexus 6, neither was I able to find any multi window option in nexus 6 settings.
How do I use these features?

The Nexus 6 doesn't have a fingerprint scanner so you're not going to find any settings for that. To enable multiwindow you need to edit your build.prop like so:
1. Backup your old build.prop somewhere
2. Use Root Explorer (or any app with the ability to edit the build.prop) to find the line that says "ro.build.type=user"
3. Change "user" to "userdebug"
4. Save changes and reboot
5. Go to settings-> developer options-> and it's in the drawing section with the window animation speeds.

The fingerprint scanner is hardware, not software. It won't ever exist on the Nexus 6. It exists on the 2 new Nexus models and on the newest Samsung models.

The screen would need to be a special screen that can scan fingerprints. Yours is not.

So this means that if i have previously locked my Nexus with my finger i won't be able to unlock it? Damn. Should read the manual beforehand ...
