Root [Obsolete] [UAYOR] [TWRP] Fix SystemUI and Setting Force Closes.

[LitrosNub]

This has been patched by @vm03 in the latest commits. Any build after 5/13 does not need this patch. Although other ROMs might still need this.

[UAYOR] means Use At Your Own Risk.

VERY BIG DISCLAIMER:

I, LitrosNub, or anyone else. Are not responsible for doing this fix and brick your device, the fix may cause some security problems and if your device gets destroyed by a hacker. That's your problem for doing this TEMP fix. Not ours. Thank you for reading this.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

If you get Force Closes when trying to access Security or Lock Screen on Settings, use this method. It works too!


Step 1:
Go to Mount:

Step 2:

I would like to say thank you, I can finally flash an 5.1.1 rom on my MS323, I just want to know What security problems will we face by doing this?

 

[mrrom]

Should we do this before or after flashing?

 

[DevMyAndroid]

After

From a few posts from @vm03 it MIGHT (look at the big letters) cause problems. It might not. Right now, using it for a day, I've experienced nothing so far. So all is well, but it MIGHT cause some later down the line.

I think you're safe if you used Slim 5.0.2 before. Unknowingly to me, that rom was built without keystore You learn everyday, I guess...

On which gapps did you get security fc?

 

[Marty_Since87]

On which gapps did you get security fc?

I used pico 5.1

 

[Member1771050]

I used pico 5.1

Pico from the thread on xda which I linked in my roms? Then keystore is definitely the culprit. I use the same gapps on my d320n and my security works.

Btw, I'm really glad that you people with ms323 can finally use lollipop

Yes, the same one from xda. I'm glad as well lol, I was able to use Lollipop but not 5.1.1 without the ui crashing until this method came out.

Because it's not for keys. Its for the lockscreen force closes.

Once I've done this, is there a way to undo it before updating to the patched version? Or do I just leave it as it is?

No need, leave it as-is.
