[Q] New P780 Out of the box - ROOTED properly? - Lenovo P780

Hello,
I have bought brand new P780 with original rom. I have problems with running sevreal networking apps and VNC server(depends which one from Google store shows curve lines or Lenovo logo).
I suppose, that device may not be fully rooted - is that possible? Can I check this in any way? Which App to check this is best (from google play)?
thank you

Thank you for your fast reply
Hmm, ist strange as I dont do anything with that phone from the first run.
I suppose that this is my original ROM. Would you like to know details from system preferences to confirm which ROM I have?
I have especially bought the busybox +/pro version from Play. Is it good?
Thank you

Thank you for reply,
Android ver 4.4.2
Baseband(?)
p780,v101,2014,/03/12 15:06
compilation
vibeui_v2.0_9439_7.10.1_dev_p780
My version is BusyBox PRO also from Stericson but I dont know what should I do there. Only verify root privileges?
What is interesting, now, when I gone to that menu and clicked "System update" Ive got info about app crash.
What is more inetresting in that ROM i havent any Lenovo native apps like Lenovo Power Manager, but I have other 'system' apps(cleaners,etc).
Thank you

Would be great to have full support for European languages. I would like to ave t9 in English and few EU languages if possible.
Also I would like to have any way-back as I have 2 years of the warranty - is that possible to replace the ROM (and have good effects) and make it unvisible in service when , ex. I will have any problem in later time?
Thank you

Hmmm... this is a little bit harder!
For complete backup you must do a trick and flash a custom recovery like TWRP. From the recovery you must do a full backup af your existing ROM.
After that you can replace your ROM with one i have showed you !
Try to reboot your phone in recovery and see iff you have allready a custom one !

Additionally, could you please let me know if would be possibility to make the default storage on SD card?
Thank you

Because you have your rom rooted you could download from market a small app called : Reboot to recovery !
Orr power off the phone and start with power vol- and vol+ pressed !

How to make the default storage on SD card:
Go to settings/storage/default write disk
There you will choose External Storage.
Voila: bigger storage!

About the storage- I suppose that my P780 is 4gig-version.
I have done what you mentioned long time ago, but still have problems when trying to install new apps (and each I am moving to SD) - Insufficient storage space
Thank you, best regards

Seems that you have stock recovery installed. You need to reflash one of that custom recovery.

hello,
how can I backup all my phone? What and how should I do ?
Is there any play store safe app to do that?
I suppose that I need to replace the Andorid recovery? Or maybe I would can do that without removing it?
