XDA Senior Member S3V3N has posted a guide on how to enable unlocking your device with a fingerprint after a reboot. It involves decompiling your SystemUI.apk file and making a minor edit to KeyguardUpdateMonitor.smali. A flashable zip has been provided for users running on a Deodexed ROM. Remember to backup before messing with a modification like this!

Merely a day after the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus with EMUI 5.1 was officially announced, we now have word that EMUI 5.1 is in testing for the Huawei Mate 9. This is not at all surprising given that the Mate 9 is still Huawei's phablet flagship. The internal testing build, labeled MHA-AL00C00B202-log, brings with it decreased touch latency as well as improved WiFi throughput according to XDA Senior Member duraaraa.

This year's Mobile World Congress was a busy affair — OEMs from all across the world converged under one roof to announce their newest products. We saw devices ranging from dumbphones all the way to premium flagships, giving everyone something to choose from.
In order to provide our forum users the best of experiences and give a one-stop shop to talk about everything surrounding their upcoming new phones, we are opening new XDA subforums for the devices that were announced at MWC 2017!
Click on the links below to visit the device forum:
The purpose of these forums is to provide our forum users a central location to talk about the device of their interest. Once the devices go on sale and become available to the public, these discussion areas will also host development as well. Having device-specific subforums will help maintain order in our general areas, giving all our forum users a place to go to in order to look for and find answers to their questions.
Head on over to the device specific sub forums to participate in discussions and know more about the new devices! Also check out our MWC 2017 coverage by following this link!

Google recently killed bookmark sync support for third-party Chrome browsers, so there isn't any way to sync your bookmarks. At the very least, you can manually add all of your desktop bookmarks to your third-party Chrome browser by following the instructions of XDA Member big_edd. These instructions are made for TugaBrowser, but you can modify the data directory to point to your particular Chrome browser package.

Jolla's open source Sailfish OS has been able to grab our attention at XDA over the years. The company's mobile software platform recently received certification for both government and corporate use in Russia. The company may have had a few stumbles when it came to fulfilling orders for their tablet hardware, but at least they stepped up and offered refunds to the 21,000 backers who weren't able to receive their product. Since then, Jolla has focused on its software and that has put them in a better position to grow their platform.
Jolla has just announced that they have teamed up with Sony Open Devices to bring Sailfish OS support to Sony Xperia devices. As you may already know, Sony is quite friendly to the developer community and us here at XDA admire the work they do for it. Some would argue that they could do better, but Sony certainly does more than most smartphone OEMs do right now by providing more than they are obliged to, and fostering the growth of the development community through tutorials and programs.
The Open Devices Program enabled Jolla to create a version of Sailfish OS for the Sony Xperia X. Sailfish OS can thus be used by advanced users and developers who are wanting to try (and tweak) Sailfish OS on a solid piece of hardware.
Many Sailfish OS developers were working with Jolla and with the Xperia X, they have a more modern piece of hardware to develop on. On top of these news, we've also learned that Jolla has formed a consortium in China for developing Sailfish OS based platforms for smartphones, the automotive industry, TV, IoT, and smartwatches, although, we haven't been given any additional details about who is involved in this project at this time.
