Greetings folks -
After spending countless hours compares various tablets (Ipad4, Nexus 10, Asus, etc.) I decided to go w/ the Nexus 10 - and I'm not going to lie, one of the many intriguing aspects of selecting an Android 4.0+ OS device was being able to use the 'face unlock' and 'liveness check' as a quick unlocking tool (I'm well aware of the short-comings of these features, it still just intrigues me).
After fiddling around w/ my Nexus 10 for 2 days, I decided to go into settings and enable that feature. Lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. I confirmed that my unit was running the latest version of the OS and then called in the support center to figure out was going on. Surprisingly enough, I was the first person to ever call in regarding this - but it turns out that Face Unlock is currently NOT SUPPORTED at all on the Nexus 10. For some older Tablets w/VGA cameras, but that had still upgraded to 4.0, Google intentionally made Face Unlock inaccessible due fear that the poor camera resolution would render it obsolete. How on earth could that be the case with the Nexus 10 and its 1.9 MP front facing camera?
I'm curious to know if anybody knows anything regarding an estimated release date of this feature - and rather if Google has decided to scrap it all together? I feel like the Nexus 10 should be running the most powerful, up-to-date version of the OS available so I find it puzzling that this has been left off.
I realize this is a tiny feature; however, it's something I looked forward to being able to use.
Thanks in advance!
Stock 4.2 and 4.2.1 on the Nexus 10 have Face Unlock under security. It even is an option when the tablet is encrypted, which is new in 4.2, I think.
Weird - working fine on my stock 16 nexus 10. Are you sure you're looking at the right settings. You want security then screen unlock.
It definitely, works, and always has done, as has been said, it's under security, lock screen.
If your rom does not have face unlock option and your device is rooted
Grab the FaceLock.apk from any other rom having this future
Push the file to /system/apps/ and correct the permissions to 644
Reboot and you will have facelock option in lockscreen options

Hello, I am with FIDO Canada, I installed CM12 on D852 on February 13 Nightly version cm-12-20150213-NIGHTLY-d852.zip
I thought I give it few days and see how it works compared to other ROMS.. I tried Validus and had few bugs with ring volume not working and standby mode.
So far I have not found any bugs with CM12, runs super crazy fast, all my apps work, Bluetooth is even better than LG, reconnects automatically.
The only feature that I would like to have Auto switch in Data, like in LG it switches automatically between 2G,3G,LTE, this is missing in CM12 but I guess not a big deal (maybe can find app for it.)
Battery is great, maybe just tiny better from LG.
Contact list I way better with almost full screen picture when you dial someone.
For some reason cant play WAV files, player does not support it, will try to download other player.
CM12 is already rooted, you can enable/disable it in Developer options to use some other programs.
What I suggest to get:
In LG my icons were bigger which I really liked, in CM12 apparently you cannot make them bigger, everything is smaller but I installed Nova Launcher and even paid for it cause I really like it, you can enlarge your screen and everything is back from what I used to like, you can do so many fantastic things it is unbelievable, I highly recommend it have it installed.
Get Power Toggles!!!!!!! freaking great, makes your life easier.
Don't like camera, missing 4K. but I found better one which I really like and found it on some other forum. Don't remember where I download it but here is zip file you can google (MotoAppsMaterialAOSP.zip) and flash with TWRP.
By the way make sure you have backup and recovery TWRP version 2.8.3.0 the only version works with D852, don't get the latest.
It saved my life, I almost **** my pants few times and had to recover the phone. If you do not have this installed DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT INSTALLING ANY ROMS!!!. there is high chance you can screw this up and all is left garbage bin.
For now I leave it like this because it is really stable, not planning to install later CM12 nighties, for 2 reasons: afraid to make it worth and because I am tired reinstalling apps.
If you are looking to upgrade your phone to a lollipop version and have it as close as LG I really recommend the same setup I have. it is worth it.
If you want to know how to do it you got to google first how to root, install recovery, make back up, the rest is easy. Just watch plenty youtube videos.
By the way to boot into recovery mod on LG G3 here is how (turn it off--> press volume down and power--> let go after you see LG logo, then press power and volume down again) after that you should see TWRP if you have it installed correctly.
I also uploaded small video on youtube what I looks like, I cannot post link on this forum, but if you search on youtube for user "ukrik" it will be there.
I've tried a few roms also
I find that bare CM12 is the best for me. After a Factory reset you have to redo the APNs - I'm on MTS and the apns are showing fido after any re-install/factory reset. I really like the battery performance and also the fact that it is blindingly fast compared to stock. I'm not a power user of the phone so I am quite satisfied with it's current capabilities. The icons diplaying your data connection type are a software glitch that my limited understanding is reporting a data connection but not necessarly showing accurately what type of connection 4g/3g/hspa/cdma/lte/gsm etc. because all of our carriers are not using the exact same network hardware but all are mostly compatible still - especially here in Canada. The network icons in the status bar are showing a data connection and your hardware is connecting but the labels are not quite right. By editing the build prop file you tell the phone whose network you are using so that it shows the right labels I don't think it's anything more than that.
Great ROM!
I confirm that it works on the D851 (T-Mobile, USA) model as well.
Anyone try the new radio with cm 12? How's the service and battery life? Both seem off for me.
Hi guys, I'm the owner of this device since december 2016. I was very happy when it first arrived, it was smooth, responsive, everything worked just fine and I was very happy with Xiaomi.
Later, Xiaomi just launched Redmi Note 4 and then my nightmare began. I was always searching for new MIUI features, and as such, I've installed as soon as possible a Custom MIUI China rom, like xiaomi.eu or MIUIBrasil.
Everything was just going well, but then I've noticed that Xiaomi released MIUI 8.5 on many devices with new features, and our device began to be a little "left behind" when it came to updates.
Later Xiaomi introduced MIUI 9, with the new features and so much more improvements, however, after MONTHS waiting, our phone just got a MIUI with and Android 6.0.1 on IT, they didn't even thought about updating to Android 7, on the excuse of hardware limitations (Oh yes, let's remind that apart from Camera, our phones are EQUAL to Redmi Note 4 in specs), anyway, I've already tried a few AOSP before, and now I thought that this was the time to give it a chance again...
However, with so many ROMs out there, I just thought, OK I'll try some before picking up one to be my daily. And then it began... OK, the first thing I missed from MIUI was the ability to record calls and block calls by choosing numbers from contact list (without having to type then manually), second, Network Type Dialog, which on MIUI I could see only three options (LTE, 3G and 2G) this saves battery and on my Country, my mobile company simply have a bug on their network, and if the network type 4G is selected when data is disabled, it will charge your phone anyway, everyday for using internet... (THAT's RIDICULOUS).
Another thing is the 3 finger screenshot, yes they're present I know, but on MIUI everytime you do this, the screen "freezes" and if its a list, it won't scroll, the same thing doesn't happen on AOSP, when you do Three Finger Screenshot on a list, it scrolls before taking Screenshot.
However, one may ask, Why you're not on MIUI then, if you like it so MUCH?
Ok, I'll answer this by explaining that, I CAN'T
Yes, you read it correctly, everytime I use a MIUI (I've tried many, MIUI Stable, MIUI China, Xiaomi.eu, MIUI 8.6, MIUI 8.3, even MIUI 8.2) and on ALL of them I have the same ISSUE i'm going to report now.
RANDOM REBOOTS after installing Magisk + Xposed combo.
When I got my hands on this phone, as I mentioned early, EVERYTHING worked like a charm, it never rebooted once, Xposed and Magisk were playing nice together, I could use modules from both Magisk and Xposed, and phone was amazing, but now, with newer versions of Xposed and Magisk, it doesn't work anymore.
OK, if I knew what combination I've used in the past, I could simply try them again, but the thing is that I don't, I don't remember which version of Xposed Framework I was using when everything was fine back 1 year and half from now, neither the Magisk version.
So I'm stuck with either using MIUI and having phone rebooting every now and then (it doesn't even REBOOT totally, it just doesn't turn on screen anymore and if you put screen against source of light you can barely see the BOOTLOGO animation Stuck, like if it were burned in on screen, it's weird) or with AOSP lacking many features I found useful on MIUI.
TL;DR I'm very displeased with this phone, with how XIAOMI forgot it and how frustrated I am because I can't use it properly, I can't customize it as MY OWN, and I just wanted to use it without rebooting.
Well that's all, just wanna share that and know if anyone else had the same feeling.
Best regards
1. You can use 3rd party app to record calls on aosp. With proper searching, you can get exactly what you want. For the blocking numbers from list, how often do someone need to block a number? It's a very minor feature.
2. Yes, there are more options to choose network, but choosing only 4/3/2G is still there.
3. About the three finger screenshot, yes aosp does it bad. But, you can use custom shortcut to take screenshots, even gestures like 2 fingers side swipe, which I use on Mdroid.
There's work around for almost everything, if you look properly. And if you like things simple, surely you'll miss out some things.
I feel bad, because I can no longer go back to a regular battery sized phone
I feel exactly the same
Xiaomi abandonned us
Luckily for me I gave my markw to my sister (she doesn't care about updates ) and got myself a mido ( redmi note 4)
But I miss my 4 prime it was the perfect size note 4 is too big. And battery life is slightly less with mido
I know how you feel about custom roms.
There is always a way to fix your problem with them but it demands time to find the solutions to bugs/ non-existent function ( custom rom is not for lazy person ?)
With miui you had almost everything in 1 package
( But miui also had so many problems)
(sorry if this has already been discussed before)
I like my second screen in AOD/standby mode to read the time, notifications, battery level ...
I recently received my second $110 lg v20 h910 from aliexpress and was ready to get to play with a lineageos based ROM (I find my stock based rom a little bloated) but I read ( https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/agefj5/lineage_151_second_screen_not_turning_off_when/ ) that there is a MASSIVE BATTERY DRAIN on ALL the NON STOCK roms with second screen support in AOD mode when the phone is in AOD MODE ...
Could somebody please tell me how bad this battery drain is on these ROMS (lineageos 15.1 and resurrection remix with second screen support) ??? Does this make these roms unusable ??
Also it seems like development has stopped on these roms ... is that the reason why ??
(I know that there is a lineageos 16 rom with notch support for the second screen but I understand that it doesn't support AOD mode for the second screen, right ??)
Thanks folks for your lights on this subject !
Its not bad enough to make it unusable, but for me it was enough to make me have to charge twice a day instead of once. The problem is that the LG V20 has an LCD, so the whole backlight needs to be lit to be readable.
From what I get, development has stopped because the Devs are putting in all they can into Pie based roms.
Pie based roms don't support AOD, once again because of the backlight. If I understand this phone correctly (Correct me if I'm wrong, happy to learn), the backlight is split into 2 pieces, one for the second screen, and one for the rest. LG Roms used just the second screen part.
I personally love the Pie roms, dont even miss the second screen. Yeah, it was useful, but not something that made a huge difference.

Thanks a lot for your answer ! :good::good:
Then I guess I am going to try LineageOS Pie on my test phone to see if it's worth it while staying on Nougat Alpha Omega on my daily driver (On Nougat Alpha Omega I like Zacharee "mod control" to tune the battery size in the second screen, etc ... and I am not sure if this "mod control" app is working on Oreo Stock based roms ...)

louis.. you have the point exactly..... there seems to be no rom that makes the fone work relaiably, i dont care about features animation whatever, but fone bluetooth etc has to work reliably. "battery drains when fone off " so so so bad the rom cant be used like this. Ive bought 2 new 5g fones recently, the note 4 is way easier to use cause things like big led alert light. The latest missed message alert using aod on xiomi on many models only gives notification for 10 mins !! and 3rd party apps break on updates. please let me know and provide link if you find a note 4 snapdragon trite rom that makes the fone work reliably, and runs around android 9 so that modern apps like my soundbar setup will work.

louis, just so i understand, what exactly is the problem with getting a reliable stable rom, has something changed since android 9 aand 10 released, or did they never work properly? and is this a general rom problem, or is the 910f snapdragon difficult in some way? .. so if i load a custom rom onto my samsung ace 4 willi have the same problems, As said, for £150 can buy fab new 5g fone, but no permenant missed message alert led some no 3.5 jack , sd storage, infra red and of course removable battery. The most annoying is no PERMENANT missed message alert. Its difficult to find out if a particular fone have this or not from the helplines. (For others, the latest mi 11 lite 5g is max 10 mins aod, "permenant" does not exist on the settings menu. and 3rd party apps break on updates )
Actually, I am no expert so I don't what issues are there with new roms, but indeed they are not usable on a daily basis.
