[Q] Security problem on Lenovo s850 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people,
I bought Lenovo s850, rooted, few days ago and now I have a problem. I had uninstalled some programs that comes with system that were irritating and now after I rebooted the phone there is a message SECURITY PROBLEM. What should I do to solve that?? Its a KitKat 4.4.2, VIBEUI 2.0.
THANK YOU

@neznalica
I have the same phone got it 2 days ago, but you mentioned that your phone is rooted, could you please post the link for rooting the Lenovo s850?
Once I can root it I will try to port CM to it, but I need to root it first.
Thanks.

There are 2 roms on needrom.com but the older one just causes a constant boot loop. The other one needs installing via cwm but I cant find any info on installing it. Anyone else seen any info?

Can anyone who has the s850 from china do a rom dump to needrom? My original rom was vibeui_v9.5_9422_3_st_s850 but now I have wrong version from lenovo forums.ru which removed imei's and messed with partitions and radios.

You just need to copy and paste below line into the build prop
ro.lenovo.check_safeapp=0
After this, save build prop and reboot your phone.

Hi, would you mind telling me how exactly to do that? I have just downloaded Build prop editor but I have never used it before and I am a little bit scared that I'll make everything even worse.
Concretely - should I just copy this line wherever in column of /system/build.prop? Doesn't matter where?
Your answer would help me so much.

[Q] Need help with my smartphone Lenovo S870e

Hi all,
I've just bought lenovo s870e a couple days ago, and I couldn't find the usb drivers and the new rom/firmware, I had enough with the stock rom, because the google play store won't work, etc... So, I need some help with it...
thanks
oh man, no one reply it... lenovo s870e is really a rare phone outside china...
Hey man. I have one as well but I asked an employee to help root it for me. I am still not sure if it's a full/true root and haven't spent enough time to check myself.
Drivers should have been loaded on the phone when you install it, at least for connection in normal mode. For fastboot and ADB, I don't have them either...
hey bro,
well i got the newer rom already, can root it using romasterv.3.1.0 but still, lenovo didn't update the rom seriously... the newest rom 2013-03-22 still got lots of bugs, can't login to google account
thanks.

Rooted with ROMASTERLAB with the instructions given on page 1. It worked without any hassle
The speaker volume of this phone is very feeble (too low), though in headphone mode it is very good.
Installed Volume+ app, but no help. It seems the phone is having manufacturing defect or it is built this way.
What is your experience regarding sound in speaker mode?
Really? Mine has pretty strong voice n sound, I have no problem with it

sorry friend Idk to edit the package too
if you are rooted you can try flashing the latest gapps package that should fix this and try fixing permissions
if you are not rooted then wait for someone to edit it for you or do a search and do it yourself

[APP][EMUI 4.1 / EMUI 5]Huawei compass apk

Hi all guys, yesterday i was giving a deep look at system apps until I've noticed that the Huawei compass app, that i always thought was a system app too, could be totally uninstalled from my phone and not only deactivated like other system apps. So, before removing it i had take a backup of it with ApkExtractorLite, since that it could come useful in future but not at the moment. The reason for me to open this thread is that with the APK that i had obtained from the extraction, I wasn't able to reinstall the app because when i try to launch it i get an error that says something that, due my distraction, i didn't screenshot or take note 'bout it before trash it. Now that i've got it back, i put it here for everyone.
*A little note
Dunno if this could be related to some protections that Huawei could have wrote in their apps, or if the package was just corrupted (even if i strongly believe that it couldn't be since that i use ApkExtractorLite from more than one year and it never missed a shot)
SOLVED!​ If you need it, download the apk that you can find in attachments. The first one is for EMUI 4, the 2nd one is for EMUI 5
*UPDATE* I've just noticed that after that i updated my device to EMUI 5, the compass app doesn't work anymore. Plus, i get an error that says "Compass is incompatible with this system version" so I'll update the thread specifying that it'll works only on EMUI 4.1. If someone will find a version that is compatible with EMUI 5 before me, if it exists, write here and I'll be glad to put it here for anyone that could find it useful.

Thanks for the tentative man, but the result was the same that I've got with my APK extracted and that i now remember, as you can see in attachments. I'm italian, so I'll translate for everyone else: "Analysis error - error meanwhile the package analysis"
And this is the reason that force me to think that there is some kind of protection by Huawei on their apps... If i have a 6X, and i try to install an app that was on 6X's stock rom, why the f*** the app installation should go wrong?
Thanks anyway, but i still need help

Sounds incompatible with your actual build, i got the same error as described in the previous page; but this is because every apk has its own signature, and if mine is made for BLN-L21C432, it could not work if installed on a BLL-L21, for example, so... what's your build number for extended? Mine is BLN-L21C432B36x. Never found an app that works on every model by the way

And that's why it won't work. Because Huawei surely made every apk compatible with its own original build and no one else. This means that you'll have to find someone who owns a BLN-L22 device and ask for the compass apk... mine will work only if on BLN-L21C432 (yeah, this truly sucks!)
