Hi,
I just got a Lenovo s890 (shanghai, china). I already changed language to English. However, apps like weather, Locations etc all remain in Chinese. How do I change them to English? I have been reading that there is ROW ROM. Do I need to install that? If yes, where can I get it and how do I install it.
Thanks:-)

The first thing I would try is factory resetting from recovery. Often much of the Chinese junk is in /data.
There's no official Google weather app, so it's probably some Lenovo or 3rd party China app. If factory resetting doesn't get rid of it, you'll have to root and then uninstalling w Titanium. Or leave it there and install a different weather app.
What do you mean by locations?
There should be some firmware for a890 at needrom.

To where it bent in the undergrowth

Yes, that would be the next step. Let us know which root ends up working for you.
