If you have any android phones that function enough to get it set up, there is an app. it works pretty well, I used it on an old S6 without a screen:

Here is a really old video of me using it:

the phone i wanted to use is a bricked Nexus 5x, it cannot start or even go into recovery mode. i had intended to strip the phone apart and use only the fingerprint sensor from it, if thats even possible given the vast difference in the type of connectors used

I doubt you can use the actual sensor by itself, it's probably proprietary.
