I posted about this on another sub forum. Someone suggested that I post it here as a request.

Looking for an app that replaces the slider with your thumb print to unlock. I know there is an app for the iphone like this but is it possible for the pre.

Doesn't that require a fingerprint reader (hardware change)?

How does iPhone do that? -- they don't have a fingerprint reader either

The only thing I can think of that would be feasable is a secret gesture to unlock,i.e., a specific swipe pattern that only you know.

The iPhone one is just a gimmick. You'd need a real thumbprint reader built into the hardware, as rlopin says. OP, do you want the gimmick or the real thing? If it's the latter, you're SOL.

Reminds me of the "Fingerprint reader" for PalmOS. Always came in handy as a good joke.

The one for the iphone must be a secret gesture like your talking. Not saying I want an actual reader but a look alike that completely replaces the slider.
