More Than Three Fingerprints?

[TheAutonomousGeek]

First off let me say I'm aware of the scanning several fingers per "fingerprint slot" method. In my experience this reduced the accuracy of it properly reading each individual finger. Maybe I didn't do it as well as I could have or something, but when it comes to getting past the lockscreen I don't have a huge amount of patience for tinkering.

My question is, now that we have root and Safestrap and people are coming out with actual custom ROMs, is it feasible that we're going to see ROMs with more than three fingerprint slots or is that something caused by a limitation that a ROM can't really overcome?

Perhaps someone can explain better how to work around this, but my particular needs for the fingerprint scanner - I think - limit the options when faced with only 3 slots considerably. Namely, I want to be able to hand the phone to my wife and have her be able to unlock it just as easily. I do most of the driving so if something needs to be done using my phone I give it to her rather than try to work it while I'm on the road. Plus there's all the times where one of us doesn't have their phone handy so we just borrow the other one's phone.

Thanks in advance!

When you go to add a new fingerprint and you have to swipe your finger multiple times you can use each finger individual for every swipe, ex: for setting up a new fingerprint you are required to swipe 5 times(don't know the actual number) swipe once with your thumb, once with your index. or once with your finger and once with your wifes,kids, etc.

I probably should have mentioned that I was aware of the scanning several fingers per "fingerprint slot" method, and then mentioned that in my experience this made it more difficult to get a successful read when trying to unlock the screen.

Anyone? Please keep in mind I'm asking about whether this is something that can be done, not whether people think it needs to be or whether a work-around exists since I've made it as clear as I can without multi-colored bold flashing text saying that I am already aware of the work-around.

Is it feasible that we might be seeing more than 3 fingerprint storage slots in future custom ROMs?
