Short Story:
----------------
Yesterday I bought Google Nexus from my local MacMall (Chicago), and I was pretty stoked. The first thing I noticed upon opening it was that the box had been re-sealed. Then I tried to turn it on and the battery was dead. I thought that was kind of unusual, but not unheard of. Then I charged it and turned it on...
Below are pictures describing what I saw. I am going to exchange the device this afternoon. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen something like this and would anyone be interested in playing around with this ROM. I would imagine it is a proprietary ASUS build, but they sold it to me so it's mine now. I would be happy to post a link to the ROM, but I don't know how to extract it. (I'm sure there is a post explaining that, please direct me to it).
Here are links to the pictures:
There is a weird bar at the top:
moworldenterprises(dot)com(slash)Testing(slash)Nexus(slash)SS01.jpg
Here is the version info:
moworldenterprises(dot)com(slash)Testing(slash)Nexus(slash)SS02.jpg
Here are some of the testing apps:
moworldenterprises(dot)com(slash)Testing(slash)Nexus(slash)SS03.jpg
The serial number is all 1's:

let me know if you want me to post any other information/pictures about the device.

Fixed the links for you.
sweet, hopefully there is something useful
Do NOT return this! This is a very good find! Maybe if you could unlock the bootloader and make a Nandroid backup in CWM...
Perhaps stick it on ebay as a Buy It Now for the price it would cost you to order another one...
That way if it is truly interesting to someone, they have to opportunity of putting up (or shutting up).
No do not unlock it yet, it will erase everything. Do a system image dump. There is a toolkit in the developers section. Post it in there.
Also i noticed its running ICS
Don't send it back yet, let the devs get what they need

The devs don't need anything from this unless you actually want to DOWNGRADE your device.
We can build AOSP from source, we don't need this build for anything at all.
Just put it on eBay :good:

I thought someone here might want this, but I have to return it today (it is for my wife). I'm "good with puters" so I can follow instructions well, but I've never rooted or jailbroken anything in my life. I'm at work so I don't have lots of time to search forums for the proper instructions. If someone really wants this, you have about two hours to post instructions for me to backup or image or whatever it is called a copy of this ROM before I return it. I'll check back every five.
I am downloading the Root Toolkit now

Thanks, that's all I needed to know, I'll just return it and get a stock one. Just out of curiosity, and in case someone on the forums wants it, how would I go about "copying" this ROM? and could it be done in the next hour?

ICS on it. How strange. Makes you wonder if they were intending to launch with that on it instead of JB.
Does it have any screen raise issues or faults?

I'm not really sure what you mean by "raise issues or faults". It's hard to show, but when I drag my finger accross the screen, it draws a line with many dots and H and V coordinate lines. That was a horrible description. Basically, it looks like it is mapping the touchscreen feedback and then rendering a line. The line quickly disappears. The white and red boxes at the top of the screen acually have numbers written on them and those numbers change as you touch the screen. There is also like a red Frame the flashes on the screen when I select an app. I will try to post some some pictures/maybe a video. My phone sucks though so the quality wont be that good.

What you're describing is the 'Show touches' and 'Pointer Location' options that can be enabled in Settings>Developer options on Jelly Bean.

It appears to have test apps not included in AOSP.
You should try to cold boot to recovery from the bootloader and see if it'll go without being hooked up to a computer. Maybe the bootloader is different than production.
Can't he try flashing the stock rom over this? If there are no hardware faults, why risk getting one that might be defective?
What would devs need from this ... This isn't a Samsung / HTC device

Please do a nandroid. Tests have shown ICS has better raw performance than JB. I would love to see an ICS ROM on these at least to just test it out.

I got the same exact thing on my phone and I have the exact same setup. I'm going to bank on the fact that it's the kernel. the tbm version overclocks the CPU and GPU... CPU to 1.84ghz and the GPU to 600mhz.
I'm going to experiment with the 016m version as opposed to the tbm version and see if it happens again since the mainline version doesn't have OC's.

Every single Nexus ever made has a twin that doesn't get Nexus branding, and Optimus G is ours
Have the same thing with paranoid ROM and faux 016m kernel.
I push power button few second and restart the phone.But today it happens again and after wipe, my nexus doesn't boot whereas a new install of the ROM. I must do a restauration..

Not an exact twin, but it can't be a coincidence that all of us have similar issues. Must be a kernel issue
It is an issue with faux kernel. If you read his thread, there are numerous people with the same issue and some have posted how to fix it.

I answered his question about it being due to the kernel and told him to search for the answer. Im sorry I dont get paid to search for others if I dont have the answer readily available at the tip of my fingers.
Not kernel or ROM related. Faux put that into a kernel so you would know your modern crashed. He was tied of this being blamed on his kernel. It seems to be a problem on 27 radio especially.
Well how does someone who knows nothing about phones fix it? I can't find anything anywhere on google that is helpful.

I have the same problem here right now. If you have found a solution for this problem or you found anything that would help me, please let me know.
Good morning all, picked up this phone to test for my sons. I did root\debloat using the DirtyCow method. I wanted to use a better camera app so I installed the Google camera app which for me worked better. I uninstalled the native app. That broke ALL camera functions. Now no camera app works. Has anyone had this issue?

This means that there are hooks between the camera and the OS that haven't been discovered yet. Earlier CM builds had this issue for other phones too. I'm not a developer but I know a little about code. I'll grab a Logcat to see if something jumps out at me.

It is not supposed to be an issue with the app being used, and rather the libs for the camera. But I will continue to try things out in this direction. Hopefully will find some hidden lib being called by the stock app and not by other apps.

I am far from expert, I don't notice a connection to camera with these logcat entries.
I assume you did not make copy / backup before removing stock camera.
I think this recovery package should restore your camera.
It is files from v17 and v8.3 stock, you never said what version you were on. I can put up version for whichever one you have, since these should only work on v17 and v8.3

Ok quick update: I did flash back to stock and the camera works fine now. I didn't remember how poor the camera quality is I still use some 8mp cameras but IMO this is bad.

Sadly you picked the wrong phone for learning development on, you need to choose another phone.
Blu has decided to lock this phone down, so future users won't even be able to root let alone flash custom firmware.
Even if Blu didn't the development is dead on this device anyway. This phone using Sony camera which no one has been able to get to work on custom ROMs.
One can port to another ROM provided that donor phone also uses Sony camera.
This is 100% the wrong phone to try and learn to develop on.
Best phones for beginners are Nexus and Samsung, simply cause more developer's have these phones, so they have the time to teach.
Phone with few developers are not meant for beginners to learn from, the less developers a device has the less time anyone has to teach.
As far as I know I am the only developer on my current device, it's a good phone, but I don't have to time to teach beginners, that's why I recommended Samsung or Nexus.

Actually, I have plenty of time to learn. The fact that this device has been difficult to work with is the challenge I want. I absolutely don't like Samsung and everybody works with Nexus. If I fail then so be it. At least I'll learn what not to do.

In the future, the gcam port is dependenant on the phone it's intended for, otherwise you need to adjust the settings manually.id highly suggest not touching ANY settings in the camera app that are in the " settings" menu. You can change the camera modes and stuff but don't touch the settings menu.
As for whitch version to download, any gcam that is in red and Bold is a stable working non beta version.

BTW, I have changed many of the settings (as suggested when they came out) in earlier versions to get them to work.
Thanks anyway.
So can anyone point me to the correct gcam for my Note 9 Snapdragon? I assume the latest and greatest Google cam port is pretty much install and use as is? I'm seeing several in Red and bold.. Haven't been keeping up lately. Thanks

Hi, pretty self-explanatory title I think, but does anyone know of a way to make the fingerprint scanner on a community ROM (MIUI or OSS vendor, doesn't really matter, and preferably A12-based) work the same way you can optionally set it up in MIUI, that is to only scan the fingerprint after you press the power button, not simply by touching? Or is there a ROM that supports this feature (and is generally considered good)?
This is honestly a deal breaker for me when it comes to using anything other than MIUI, because when I already tried a community ROM (A12 Derpfest, in particular), I found it incredibly annoying that any random touch unlocked my phone even when I certainly didn't want it to, and not using the scanner at all or setting it up for some awkward finger I rarely use is really a solution.
Cheers.
Well I've been asking the same thing in Pixel extended Rom post. Hope someone would made it working.
Also requested in Magisk thread for some module if anyone can made. No response so far
@Case_ have u sorted the issue? Any updates?
Woaaah i didn't even know this was an option, just turned it on. So much better i get annoyed when it tries to scan constantly..

Nope. I got mocked a bit for asking (elsewhere, not here), also got the advice to scan less fingers (not exactly helpful), but nothing else. I've seen someone mention that Pixel Experience might possibly have this, but no idea if it applies to our device.
With nandroid backups not working well in A12, I'm not exactly keen on installing the ROM just to see it's not there anyway. And I was kinda busy with other stuff anyway. I might do it eventually, though.

No, pixel experience doesn't have that. Also No A12 rom has it.
@arunsebstn I guess the person was talking about PE for a different device, then
Not sure of this helps. I have the ROM from Mirza and it has option to press.
@RAMBO29 Yeah, but that's because it is just a customized MIUI ROM. We're talking non-MIUI ROMs here (as the thread title says).
So, it's been a while and I haven't really been testing new ROMs (for practical reasons, mostly)...anybody knows if this might perhaps finally be a thing now outside of MIUI ROMs? Thanks.
Same, I'm surprised there isn't a magisk module for this, maybe one does exist and we just don't know of it?
Hey, latest CrDroid 8.6 (Android 12) has the option you're looking for. Only searches for fingerprint unlock when you press the power button, when screen is off, so is the fingerprint scanner.
@Case_
@batureal Cool, thank you!
Lineageos 19.1
So it seems like the option is finally showing up in community ROMs. Great!
