[Q] How to get rid of the update notification? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

The thing is everybody is talking about downgrading to a .42 or .58 firmware version, then root the phone and update it to .62 without losing the root. But I already installed apps and removed some system apps that I don't need, so ovbiously I have problems when I try to update via OTA. So, I decided I will stay with my .58 fw version, without updating it, maybe until the ICS update comes out. But every single time I connect the update notification appears there in the status bar and I wanna get rid of it. I know if you go to Manage Applications--Update center--Clear data, the notification quits, but then it appears again when I connect again. So I wanna know if there is a way to get rid of this notification so it doesn't appear anymore.
Maybe the Update Center app can be freezed? Or will that make the phone get problems or something? :/

Yes,you can freeze it using titanium backup.
Or use root explorer to copy UpdateCenter.apk to SD card and then delete it from system/app/.If you want to do OTA update,just remove it back.

Ok, thanks for your answer. What I did was frozen it using Link2SD, and now it doesn't appear anymore!

thanks. will try it

Root ur phone..then install the attached apk of SYSTEM APP REMOVER..make a backup of update centre..then uninstall it using this application..have fun bro

an easier method would have been to blacklist Update Center against connecting to the internet, using Droidwall, and then clear the data from application settings!

Naah.
All you need to do is freeze updatecenter.apk using link2sd and restart your phone.
No need to remove it or whatever

There are many solution for it :
Target=/system/app/UpdateCenter.apk
1. Manualy delete target using root explorer
2. Set target premissions to 000
3. Use app like titanium or system app remover to uninstall target

Clear data first, go to manage applications, then update center, clear data, then freeze it with link2sd or titanium, is the same. So far and the notification hasn't appear yet!

[Q] Cleanup

hi there i rooted my fone a couple of mins ago using the exploid method (026), it was a great success.., lemme go back to my question.., how can i clean up the apps that i don't need.,
in bin4ry's method (024) on step2 folder there's a file called cleanup.cmd i just have to edit it and run it.., it will remove all the unnecessary apps like the moxiersh*t on my (024) x10i..,
but when i used bin4ry's cleanup.cmd on my (026) is says "mount: operation not permitted"
i know they have different sources, but can somebody help me cleaning up my 026x10i?
any links?
Use titanium backup

Did you use the donate or free version of Titanium Backup? I have installed the free version but i still could not figure out how to delete or uninstall unwanted programs. Care to share how you did it? Thanks
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
long press the app u want 2 delete
nooo i dont need titanium backup.., what i said is.., the CMD(command) file in the root that can cleanup the apps using the computer not the phone itself..,
Jus use the cleanup file.. don't mount your usb, make sure usb debugging is on n c what happens!
as for titanium backup, there's nothing wrong with it.. does the job!! plus the full version can b used to freeze apps to c how the rest of your phone would react if u had actually uninstalled it!!

hi i still can't delete from titanium(free version).it doesn't give me an option to delete.
and from the cleanup file it tells me rm failed.red-only file system
yet the apps are still there!!(moxier,quadrapop etc.)
am i doing something wrong?
Download busybox of market and c if that confirms your root privileges..
if so then go into titanium n try your luck again
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda
use exploid 1.08, once rooted again, open exploid app again, click unsecure shell, rerun the cleanup cmd. u should now be read/write mounted...

Make sure you edit the cleanup.cmd so it doesn't remove stuff you might need or want to keep.

You just tap the app, as long pressing gives you a different menu.

If I remember correctly, what I did was uninstall it with TB, then using roorexplorer navigate to data/app and remove the apk, then went to app-private and removed it from there too.
thanks man, finally got rid of it!

[Q] How to remove titanium backup and kernel manager lite from bamf 1.6.2?

Whenever I start titanium backup, my thunderbolt freezes. I have wiped several times all with the same result. Also I have the paid versions of these apps so I would like to use those instead. I have also tried to use the bamf toolkit to remove titanium backup and that cause the phone to freeze add well.

Going into settings > applications > manage apps, does it freeze if you try to remove it that way?
There is not an option to uninstall. The button is grayed out. I think it is installed as a system application. Since I can't post in the das bamf thread, I have to post here hoping that there is a flash I can do or some other app on the market place that can uninstall system apps.

i am trying to update to titanium pro. i get the message "this is a system application." then the following message... "application not installed"
anyone have a reason why i cant upgrade the free version to the premium version? i have not upgraded to 1.63 yet.
thanks

You can delete the .apk for each file located in /system/app using root explorer or a file manager with root permissions. Since these were installed as system apps, they can't be uninstalled from the regular settings>manage apps menu, but you can delete with Root explorer.
I have deleted kernel manager this way - my pro key with titanium works with the system version, so I haven't deleted that.

Did you delete or move the apk? Reason I ask is that I moved it to my SD card (in case it caused issues) and realized that I wasn't hitting R/W in the upper corner, so it wasn't actually removing it, just copying the file in read-only mode.

You are a genius. I was in read only mode and the app I am using never warned me. I am using super manager. You have to set root permissions in the apps configuration.

OK... So I was able to remove titanium backup.
Now, I have the same problem with it from the market. Seems like a bamf issue and not an app issue.

Are you on stock rom or custom ROM.
IF you are on stock rom then you cannot uninstall stock apps.
If you uninstall them somehow then also factory/data reset wont bring them back.

Download the app called 'AppSaver' from the market. It backs up the .apk files of all the apps on your phone and stores them on the SD card. So whatever you do with the phone, the .apks are always there on the SD card and you can install all the apps again, without downloading them from the market.
P.S. the app takes backup of only the .apk and not the data. Eg: If you back up Angry birds, it just backs up the .apk and the levels/scores you achieved would not be backed up.

you can be rooted and still be using the stock rom. in that case, just install titanium backup or root uninstaller, both of which give you the option to uninstall stock apps

[Q] Problem in titanium backup with my LWW

Hi,
I update my WT19i to ICS from GB yesterday, So i backup my apps with titanium backup pro. After successfully updated my phone to ICS and rooted, i restore apps batch by batch. I made preferences setting to install restored apps in external memory only.
After i update 50 apps, i find my internal memory going too low, now it remains only 16.5 MB, I can't identify where is the problem.
Is there any solution?
Use busybox from tb or system ?

You can't uninstall SuperUser in Root Explorer because it will be the one giving you Root Permissions
If you want to update it, do it via Play Store
