Okay m8s hear me out here,

I have a Note 4 and while everything is great about it the fingerprint reader is absolute cancer. I get the swiping gesture right about 10% of the time. I love Samsung's new touch based fingerprint sensors, and it's driving me crazy

So I searched for a bit and found out that the Note 4 and S6 fingerprint/home button assemblies all have the same connectors and wires (of course the sensor is different, but its the same size). My question is, if I replace the N4 sensor with an S6 one would it work? Keep in mind I said the same size, connectors and wires

The reason you're not getting awnsers because nobody in /g/ has no real experience with hardware, most just shitpost their shitty gpu and cpu benchmarks and whine about hur dur privacy because muricucks arent allowed any.

You'll get better help on Reddit. This place is for shit posting

It depends if it's recognized under android as the same time of device and if the system would accept it.

>>62211411
cont. to this

Admitting, i have no experience with your problem, but if the connectors match, i see why it shouldnt, even if they're assembled the same way, if you can find the home button online, doesnt really hurt to try.

Problem usually isn't hardware it's mostly software or firmware based.
>>
>>62211459
This, OP. I've connected nonstandard cameras to no avail, as despite the connection being identical, the OS did not recognize it. It may be something as simple as having the right 'driver', however you'll have to do some research as to how Android recognizes foreign devices.

That being said, go for it. You may learn something new and become a legend in your own right for making it work.
>>
>>62211501
Odd's are you can get the drivers from the s6.
>>
It 100% won't work. Phones are not like PC's, you will need to change the firmware and software in your kernel and even though its not difficult I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself without any prior experience. Just lost this question in XDA, there are some very bright people there.

Thing is they're ecactly the same, the only thing different is the little turd that goes under the home button

>>62211483
Well I use a Note 5 port and the fingerprint registering process uses the S6 type scanner images, it says to just touch instead of swipe. I'll try

>>62211564
Lots of poo's there but yeah some of them are smart. Gonna try there too
