Move/Copy a native app from one device to another? - General Questions and Answers

I have two tablets (one is getting sold). My current tablet has just been updated to the latest Lenovo Zui 13 and works fine. It is a chinese tablet with an overly keen security app which closes down apps without my permission (Vanced MicoG and play store). I solved this by whitelisting the programs in the Security App. All working good.,
My new tablet also has Zui 13 but an older version of the security app which seems to be bugged and wont open.
The ZUI 13 Install on my 2021 Pad Pro 11 is 5.1.06.0235 and works perfectly
The install on my Pad Pro 12 is 5.1.06.0230 opens to black screen then closes.
Is there anyway to move the newer security app off my old tablet onto my new tablet?
I'd rather not root etc if possible.

How to check app's compatibility after OS update

Hi all,
I recently updated my XZP to Android 8.0 and having some lagging issue.
I believe this is largely because of third party apps that I previously installed with 7.1.1 which have not been updated to be compatible with 8.0.
So I'm planning to uninstall or disable those app to see if things improve, but since there are so many apps installed, I have no idea where to begin.
My question:
Is there any easy way to check OS compatibility of installed apps?

[Rant / help] I need to roll a Google app back THAN base install version.

I have a phone with Android 9.
If I update my phone to Android 10 (available, for my phone) it will update my Google apps.
One of the updated Google apps, I detest and I do not want, I want an old version (Maps).
I am fairly sure, it's impossible (without root?) to remove the version of maps, that comes with Android 10, to my Android 9 version of maps.
Does anyone know if this is impossible or not? I'd hate to update my phone and get the bad version.
Thank you.
(PLEASE no stupid arguments about why the feature I want is stupid, PLEASE - I just want an older version of maps)

I have confirmed, with other Mate 20 (non Pro) Huawei users that V10 of the Mate 20 OS will result in an updated base level Google apps and therefore, give me a new base level Google Maps (which again, SUCKS!)
This is a completely unmodified, non rooted phone and the update would be coming over 4G / LTE to my phone from the carrier, so I'm unsure how I can intercept the GAPPS.ZIP (or equivelant) inside the update?

Question ZUI 13 Lenovo Security Center Problem Crashes?

Hi all,
EDIT - I am reading reports this is also occurring on any Lenovo XiaoXin Pad Pro with the ZUI 13 update (perhaps it's the secondary update that does it?) not just the 12.6 inch version.
I've just upgraded my tablet from a 2021 XiaoXin Pad Pro 11 to the new 12.6" model. In general i'm very happy with it. The screen is a fantastic upgrade (no more near black crush) and Netflix installed from the play store with Dolby Vision support right out the box! There's no real need for me to mess with getting a Global version other than one problem!
On my 11" version I struggled for a while with the tablet force logging me out of things like the play store and youtube vanced. I finally pinned it down to the overly aggressive Lenovo security app. Once I whitelisted the programs I wanted I didn't have any further issues.
While setting up the 12" Pad Pro I received and installed an OTA update which went fine. Once all my apps were sorted I then went to configure the whitelist. The security screen opens to a black screen then immediately closes again. Strangely if I press and hold I can perform a RAM clean and one other function without any issues. The software is defo working as it logs me out apps in the same annoying way as before. So essentially the app has control of my tablet and I have no control over the app!!
I have tried:
Forced Stop / Clear Cache / Clear Storage
Factory Reset
Nether of which have worked.
Any ideas? With this being a chinese Tablet I wouldn't even know where to begin in contacting lenovo!
EDIT:
The ZUI 13 Install on my 2021 Pad Pro 11 is 5.1.06.0235 and works perfectly
The install on my Pad Pro 12 is 5.1.06.0230
Looks like I need an update. Any way to grab this file off the P11 and push it to the P12?
Congrats on your new tablet. I'm quite envious that Dolby vision is working.
Anyways, maybe you can try disabling the security app via adb. At least it won't aggressively kill apps in the background. Though I don't know how you will be able to handle permissions.

Thanks I will try this.
Apparently the Security app is used for a few things. Disabling it would be good though!
Update
This seems to be happening on some 11" 2021 models on Zui 13 as well. (See below):

I get installation failed
That is becouse you have already installed a newer version of the app.

Yup just tried and it failed as there's a newer version on my tablet. For reference The ZUI 13 Install on my 2021 Pad Pro 11 is 5.1.06.0235 and works ok (some issues with the google calendar widget) . The install on my Pad Pro 12 is 5.1.06.0230 and can not be opened and set permissions reset.
Apparently if I was to factory reset my 11 Pad Pro i'd be having the same issue.
Really a rather large screw up on Lenovo's behalf.
Any update to this..has lenovo done anything..I guess not

No sign of an update on the pad pro 2021. I believe there has been an OTA for the 12.6 mines not back from China yet so I couldn't tell you if its fixed.
The patch notes indicate it should be.
Worryingly the Pad Pro 2021 seems to be loosing widevine L1 out of nowhere for some people.

Thanks.. hopefully the p11 will get an update..
First time I've used zui..not the greatest that's for sure..I find autorotate to be pretty slow
Have a same problem. =\
+ same problem with Permission manager (settings - Apps management)
pad pro 2021, ZUI13 last st version, bootloader locked.
Having this issue also on my J716F. Has anyone ended up disabling security app?
I was able to both disable it and uninstall it for user 0 with adb terminal.
the name of the app is com.zui.safecenter
in both cases however nothing is solved, the permissions keep crashing even uninstalling or disabling the app, and also the notification problem doesn't disappear.
We have to hope for an OTA update that fixes the problem or an update of the security app.
i have J716F (xiaoxin pad pro 2021)

Have you tried reinstalling using the shared apk on this thread?

Lenovo Xiaoxin pad pro (2021) Display over other apps

So I bought the tablet online the bootloader is unlock for them to install Google Play. Everything seems working well but the Display over the other apps option. Any solution about this guys?
Like you i'm also looking for a solution to this problem. as i have exactly the same problem. Display over other apps setting will not persist. Change the permission option to "On" for an app, then go back to app which will then say permission required to display over other apps, go back to permissions and the setting will be "Off" even though i had just turned it "On". I have the Global ROM installed and thinking of flashing the original CN/EN ROM but not sure if this version has the same problem? Is your ROM the original Chines/English or is it the Global version?
Same problem I Can't Used my APEX 2 controller on display over app which already been set up to allowed.
Also Play Protect certification is Not Certified., I can't watch FULL HD Netflix Streaming. I downloaded Netflix apk but it seems not full. HD. There are some Netflix apk mody which I can watch full HD but I have to wait for there new uploaded released that's the other option I have.
Is there's possible to reprogrammed this device lenovo pad p11 pro (pad pro 2021) to us version.
That all google services have no problem?
Hope there's a way to normal all set up.
up.. any soluction?

How to enable FCM push notification

Hi all,
Pardon me if this a naive question. I recently got a Legion Y700 table (which I believe runs the same ZUI 13 *Chinese* ROM as the Xiaoxin Pads) and I was able to install Google Play Store directly from the ZUI App Center. I can then install apps from Play Store. However I can't seem to get push notifications when the apps are not running in the background. This being a Chinese ROM, is this expected that it does not support FCM? Are there ways to enable FCM?
Thanks!
EDIT: It seems like the Google app itself does receive push notification. I'm getting things like weather forecast, updates on my interested topics pushed to me even when Google app is not running (or at least not visible in the multitask app switcher view).
