Q: What does this(bypass java security) do? LG-Vu info
A: It allows you to bypass the notifications when running 3rd party applications. (For rogers, it allows you to install 3rd party applications)
Q: Do I have to re-install all the applications that came with the phone?
A: No, you only have to re-install the ones you installed.
Q: Can doing this brick the LG Vu phone?
A: As long as you are following the instructions carefully, then no
Q: Is this bypass reversible? If I follow the instructions in reverse, do I get the default applications back?
A: The bypass is reversible. This “myth” of lost application was due to another thread – in fact no application is lost. One does have to reinstall his/her own applications (which is trivial, since you did it once already)
Q: Is it possible to bypass java security for a single application?
A: No but if you look at the file pointed at the instructions, you’ll find that its possible to select “categories” – for example one could only bypass security for internet usage only.
Q: Are there any side-effect from doing this hack?
A: Not really, just make sure you know what you are installing as doing this hack will allow ANY 3rd party applications to be installed (even some that may be harmful).
