[inconvenience] 2.2.0.29 Fingerprint unlock only works on Lockscreen

First of all, thanks for providing the FP-reader to SFOSX as promissed, much appreciated.

Expected behaviour for me when using other devices with FP unlock is a little differnt than the current state though.

On other devices it is mostly possible to unlock from locked (sleep?) state directly to homescreen without first having to wake the device to Lockscreen and further unlock from there.

Currently i have to press the power-button and have to release and tap again to scan the finger which feels awkward.

Ideal would be to scan the finger anytime it touches the sensor and a) during unlocked state lock the phone and b) during locked/sleep state directly unlock to homescreen or last open app respectively.

EDIT: A workaround could be to make it possible to double click the power button to scan which was the quickest way to unlock on sfosx before. Double click now prompts the pin request and another tap is needed to scan the finger.
