Hye everyone.

Recently, i bought a used Pixel 2 online(with a year warranty from seller).

They claimed its all ori and good. Seems so.

But today, i tried to run GFXBench.
At first, it gave reminder that "custom-rom are required to sign-in".
I thought that was just a custom reminder. But once inside the app, all of its test were locked and requires sign-in.

So, how do i know phone is running custom-rom or stock original rom.
I tested all apps on playstore and it shows phone is not rooted and and as for update,, seller have already updated to Android 11, its last version.

So, can anyone help me with that?





Is there chance they could replace some other camera(i suppose my phone is refurbished) and used a custom rom cause of that ??

*also, camera is definitely, seems natural, satisfying,,ok2.
but definitely nothing as the advertise on the internet(various youtubers, websites). doh.gif doh.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

You could check using ADB if your bootloader is unlocked or even check your recovery used. Often if non stock recovery it could indicate a custom ROM.

My suggestions would be to just check about phone (maybe screenshot and put here).

Also try Netflix biggrin.gif very powerful app that hates custom ROM/unlocked bootloader.

Netflix installs fine. But the recovery check using ADB, can you help me a little ?

I would assume your phone is fine then. I did see some users reporting the same issue with Pixel 2. Might be the GFX app itself buggy. If you really want to stress test consider others as well (3D mark?/Antutu/etc) Or you want to check accurate battery health, use Accubattery.


You could try something like this if you please: https://thebroodle.com/android/how-to-check...ed-or-unlocked/

Thanks a lot. im just guessing its fine. Checked about phone, everything looks familiar. Battery seems good now, but after so much tuning(way too many features).
