We have seen how Android OS has improved over years. Maintaining a parallel growth, smartphones have also seen a great enhancement in terms of hardware.   There are many examples such as a single rear camera to the dual lens and now quad lens shooters. Another innovation was that of rear mount fingerprint sensor which later phased into in-display fingerprint sensor. A critically popular device to implement this technology is OnePlus 6T. Those who have come across the device, know that how it works. A user has to register his fingerprint and later use it to unlock the device. Usually, on the lock screen, we see the green icon on which we apply our fingerprint. Now, is it anyway possible to change this green icon into something else..? Well, yes it is. In this post, we will tell you how to Change the Fingerprint Scanner Icon on OnePlus 6T.

So, of course, this is a modification over the existing icon and its corresponding animation (the one that occurs while unlocking. This has been developed by XDA developer zacharee1. Kudos to him for his work. This customization requires the replacement of the System UI. Also, when we are talking of customization, the 6T must be installed with TWRP.
