Uninstall Harmful App - Lenovo Vibe P1 Questions & Answers

Hi all.
When i opened my phone today i have noticed one Warrning like:
"Uninstall Harmfull app: "Theme Center" can damage your device".
After this message Theme Center icon has dissapeared from my drawer.
I have searched the app an i have found that is desabled.
I dont have the phone rooted, i have not changed the original firmware. The phone is still stock.
Anyone has the same thing as me ?

Was it an android notification or an anti virus notification???
If it was an antivirus notification then uninstall it and reinstall it again.Scan the device and all will be done.
If it was an android notification search for the app in settings>apps>all apps and then uninstall it.If not found then go to google play store>my apps and games>installed if you find the app there,uninstall it from there.....
Best of luck

Hi. Thanks for your answer.
It was an system warning. The antivirus did nothing.
The app is Theme center. It is an system app.
So... What i did was: enabled the app and monitored her activities... Nothing yet...
I have Avast antivirus installed. Still waiting...
Ill let you know if something is going on.

whats the problem? android has its own internal task killer so if ram is needed for running apps its will kill off background apps, there are loads of reasons why apps start auto, did you know google pays developers if there apps collect info about how you use your phone and give it them lol
But I notice they never close and the phone slows down !!!!!

Look for "Startup Cleaner Pro" in the market.
It will enable you to disable a programs from start up.
But some programs start on later on when the device has been used a while automatically anyway.

[Q] How to disable apps from running in RAM

Hi,
I've been using CM9beta2 on my Wonder for a while.
Now my phone it's starting to get too laggy so I'm trying to free up as much RAM as possible (having around 50MB available doesn't seem enough!).
However, many apps are always running, even though I disabled everything I could in the settings.
For example, google maps keeps regularly eating 5-10MB RAM, sometimes google Play too, etc...
Is there a way to keep apps out of RAM?
How do you do it?
The only solution I find otherwise, is to get the apk, and install apps when you need them, then uninstall them immediately...

Thanks, but... wouldn't Auto Killer Memory use more battery (or RAM) than having the apps running?
I mean, having smth that checks every few minutes running apps and that closes them... then they reopen again, and the Auto Killer closes them again, and so on... doesn't seem the best solution!
Am I wrong?

It really depend , but I try it and actually getting better result .
With CM9 rom there is a way to disable the apps that you don't need , just go to setting menu, chose manage apps, click the apps that you don't use , and click disable . But you have to make sure the apps that you disable WILL NOT effect other apps that in use . :silly:
Hi...there are two ways to do what you want to do....
The first is as you say to delete and re install the apps as you need them.....
The other way is to NOT delete them, but to FREEZE them. (This is the better option, and the option that I use) there are several apps that will do this, titanium backup (paid app) and Gemini app manager (free) to name two.
I use Gemini and it does EXACTLY what you are asking. You have to be rooted in order to use either of the apps I mentioned....but if you're using a custom rom, I guess you already are. Both apps are available in the Play Store, and there's an online tutorial on how to use Gemini....just Google it.......
Hit thanks if this helped
CM9....I don't have to...I just......can

[Q] [B506] Background apps get closed and can't receive notifications

Hi all,
Has anyone experienced this with B506? Some apps like Telegram or WeChat get closed in the background just after a few seconds and then if someone messages me I don't receive the notification until I actually open the app (which completely defeats the purpose of the notification...).
Is this just a problem with my phone or has anyone else experienced this?
I know it's the app that's getting somehow closed because every time I start for example, Facebook or WeChat, I see the splash screen (which is only shown the first time an app is started).
Thanks for any help!
Are you allowing it to run in the background, and allowing it to startup at boot?

That's the thing, ever since I flashed B506 I lost that setting in the menu where we had the security options and could choose what runs in the background and what doesn't... I thought this was removed by Huawei on purpose. Do you still have it?

Do you have the Phone Manager app? All the options are there.
In settings, Protected apps is the setting for the background apps.

Stock 28s How do you turn off the ads? There's an ad under the group.
I have received and installed OTA (about 350mb) and now google play services give me RH-01 error. I have tried to delete cache but don't work, it's not possible delete my account because a message tell me that only the Administrator is able to do it, i have tried to uninstall and reinstall Google play store but don't work. Please could somebody help me?
After updating, he made the same mistake. I deleted Google Play and Google Services. I deleted other Google related programs (google music, google +, gmail ...). Then I downloaded "http://opengapps.org/" Arm64, 6.0 nano gappsi from here. And I uploaded it with TWRP. Google Play is running smoothly right now. My problem is that when I open programs, I get an ad. How do we turn this off ?.

After updating I realized that LeEco didn't update the new camera UI with pro features for Pro3! They have updated the camera on all other models with the 28s version; But when it comes to their latest flagship, they decide not to update camera!
Thank you LeEco :|

There is no option for those apps.
But for some apps like phone manager that don't need a network connection, you can block the app from connecting to network in connection manager and it won't show the banners anymore!

Thank you ) As you said, it's done from here.
"Updated" to 28s Friday night (OTA). Then spent several hours getting Google Serrvices and Play Store playing nice again. (Had do remove and reinstall them) .Had to uninstall an reinstall Google apps like Gmail, Calendar and the Google search. What gave me the most problem was Contacts that would not sync Google contacts. Tried to add the Contacts Sync, but didn't have any success until I installed an old version (5.1) and now everything runs smoothly again and my contacts sync as the should. I just mention this, in case somone else runs into the same problems.
Anybody can upload a screenshot of android phone info (in settings) to see if there is a new baseband?
Thanks

Question This app was launched by Google Play services?

I've noticed idle battery drain on my phone and found out that it was caused by an app (it was the Shopee app), so I tried to prevent it from running in background, like limiting its permissions, turning off notifications both in app and phone settings, restricting background activity in Battery Saver.
But after sometime it happens again. I checked in App behavior and it says the app was started by Google Play services.
What does this mean and can I stop it permanently?
If you don't use it, why keep it !
Just uninstall it.

I have never said that I don't use it, can't you read? It's a shopping app and I only open it when I look for something to buy. Do you use your app 24/7???

Sorry, you not mentioning that u use it casually, so figured u don't use it. Still, I said "if" though.
Then try to uninstall and install it. Maybe it's the version you have.
If you have root. There are plenty of apps that can put it to sleep.
" rooting "
Hmmm, I know that Google Play Services can be launched by many apps to use any kind of sensors and APIs, but never heard of the opposite... maybe it's the case and is bad translated? In that case, try the BBS app and check what sensors are used

Now, I was asking about GP services and strange app behavior, I want to know if someone had any similar experience. If I could just uninstall then I wouldn't waste your precious time by making this thread would I? That's just throwing the problem away, not solving it.

There are some apps that can disable other apps to auto-start without root, but may need adb commands if running on non-root device:
Brevent
Ice Box
SuperFreezZ App stopper

Trash app, trash behavior.
Yeah uninstalling pretty much gets rid of the cause. Wonder what else it's doing?
Solving? That's how it was designed to behave... badly. I would have ditched it the first day.
Or
Disable Google play Services when not needed.
Arguing with members trying to help you won't further you along

Thank you, I do have magisk installed, I'll try Ice Box later and see how it works.
About the other 2, from their descriptions I think what they do is force closing unused apps automatically for you is that right? Would it be different from force closing manually? Because I did try to do that but GP services was still able to launch the app occasionally as reported in App behavior.
First time noticing play services could do this so I was really curious lol, idk if it was google services or the app developer can make it like that?

Brevent prevent apps auto-start, and auto-hybernate/auto-close the app when inactive of the time set in the brevent settings.
SuperFreezZ is as you described.
The following is all just guessing:
The reason that you see GP service launch Shopee app is probably Shopee app designed it.
The culprit is more likely Shopee app. It might have designed to wakeup / auto-start when there is change of the system in some conditions, which has some links to GP service.
