You'd need to temp root and disable it.
Search a thread for "temp root" or check under "Android Development".
Other option is rooting and using a custom ROM that has all the bloatware removed.

[Q] GPS on boot

My wife and I have the DNA stock. Her gps comes on on boot. I disabled the same apps on both phones. Setting for maps on both is the the same, so is location settings.
I cannot find what makes her DNA does it and mine does not.
any help will be appreciated.

In the app info there is a check box at the top to allow notifications.

This will take the apps out of your app drawer, but unfortunately they are still on your device.

Wasn't criticizing you, Dude. Just stating that it is unfortunate that we can't completely remove the apps.

Disable the Verizon support app.
Verizon Support & Protection (com.asurion.android.verizon.vms) is the app you want to freeze/uninstall to eliminate that notification. I uninstalled it using TiB with no adverse effects for the past few months.

[Q] Excessive SuperSu data causing low storage

I had gotten a warning on my phone about ten minutes ago while updating some Apps that I was running out of storage. This couldn't be possible, so I went into DiskUsage to look around to find that SuperSu had 6.01GB of data.
I've already gotten rid of it, but does anyone have any idea what is going on with this?
Much thanks.
(Running stock MJ7 if it helps)

Any chance you can try and pinpoint what that 6gigs of data is? Try looking through your internal storage for large files related to supersu. It shouldn't cause problems if you can find and delete the data if you don't use supersu anymore.

Anyone know how to disable "software update available" prompt?

Just like the title suggests, Im on rooted MK2 build and am looking to stay till root is achieved on kit kat. This prompt keeps popping up every couple minutes and i really hope there's a way to disable it...
Thanks
Usually if you long press on the notification you can uncheck the box for showing it. At least it shouldn't nag you anymore.
