stop OTA - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

I'm running Viper 1.0.0 and I keep getting OTA downloads and notifications from Verizon. How can I make them stop?
Sorry, I know it was said in some thread somewhere, but these threads all have like 30 pages and I couldn't find anything with the search function.
Just figured someone might know off the top of their head which files it is???

Not so sure how this is confusing?
Yes the OTA pop up still arrives..
but can it be installed? no.. usually because of custom recovery.
but it does still download
to OP, check in cache/ and in one of the folders u might find the OTA.zip, u can delete that too.

many thanks!

Why on earth would they remove that? That's so stupid. That's a killer feature! I was really looking forward to making ugly faces to my tablet

If face unlock is part of google apps, couldn't we just pull it off of a ICS phone and push the face unlock app via adb?
Seriously? No face unlock?!

Booooo, that's some BS (not that I'm doubting it's true, but BS in the sense that we should have it). It's just an app with very little requirements (camera?). I thought the purpose of a Nexus was to showcase the features of the software, not necessarily sell the phone, but the OS. At least given our current history (48hrs to get Asus to agree to unlock the bootloader, root obtained before most people got their tablet) I don't imagine it will be too long til we get it ported over somehow

just pulled the facelock.apk from my GNexus and tried to install it, and it says:
"Replace Application?
This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?
All Previous user data will be removed."

so i guess its in the system but not allowed to be used yet. i have no idea.
I posted this in the other thread about Face Unlock, I was looking thru the apps disabling what I could in the settings and I see that Face Unlock is in there it lets you force close it and disable it. Its version 4.0.3-239410 and says its 64KB not sure if thats the full app or maybe something that will get added in later. Maybe we just need to find a way to enable it?

This is such BS... I was really looking forward to this feature. Hope our magical devs will be able to enable it soon, or alternatively I hope ASUS enables it in another OTA very soon. This is our first iteration of ICS afterall, I'm sure there are still plenty of things that need to be ironed out or added.

Its not stock on the Sensation. You have to have flashed a rom that included it, which might be what we have to do with the prime.
Not to be a downer on the whole thing, but i have it on my GSII, it doesnt work all the time...
Has anybody tried re-installing it? Maybe one installed is like an empty apk?

Ota coming soon!

I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

No one does. But literally its as simple as putting the old search apk back into the new rom or ota. Nothing to be worried about

Double post please delete.
I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Thanks, didn't even think to do that for some reason. I just froze FWUpgrade, SDM & VZWUpdate in Titanium Backup.. can anyone confirm if there's anything more that needs to be frozen?
Here 1. Don't accept it. 2. We can pull radio and kernel and install those.

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

FYI guys, we can still root using the same method after the OTA (VRALG1)

[Q] official JB for unlocked devices

As i said in the title i would like to know if there's a way to install the official JB rom. Thanks
As I understand it, what needs to happen is someone (anyone who has the time and ingenuity) has to take apart the blobs from asus and maybe do a little deodexing as is tradition and combine the assortment into a flashable prerooted zip. It could arrive in three minutes, it could be a week. Depends on the devs.
If no one else steps up for this I will take a peek at the guides on monday and risk my skills on my own device.

Probably a stupid follow up question but...
I'm running a custom rom and I have TWRP installed...will I be able to install it as well? Secondly, will it keep my apps?
The current dlpkgfile floating around is only an incremental, thus not usable.
Can't se use anymore the ota update? I read about built prop .28 band i wanted to know more about it
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda app-developers app
As I understand, this seems to be the "General" area - the Q&A area is not that hard to miss, isn't it?
There is a general warning on TWRP thread to not flash custom Asus based ROMs with TWRP. Perhaps bootloader is changed and is incompatible with TWRP which uses a modded ICS bootloader.
So wait.
Using Asus blobs when released, unblobing them and working with that to make ROMs is the good way but must be done by good experts, as therisk is to brick the device.
So we just have to wait our loved devs to help us

I wouldn't think so. Otherwise, if it does when an ota comes around, try looking in the settings. I doubt it will warn you every hr though. Don't know and won't know soon unless verizon actually releases the ota on time

Ain't nobody got time for that
If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

I'm sure someone will. And then ROMs without AT&T bloat will come out. Just have a little patience. We've all waited this long, what's another day or two?

Can always bloat unistaller from market.
bloat isn't really a factor here but we can all expect better JB roms
Took AT&T long enough
I'd like to share some battery results... it's phenomenal so far. Installed and then took a nap for ~2 hours, that's where it flat lined at 16%. A little early to say, but first impressions are legit.

yes i need an external download for the update since im from israel and i think i cant update cuz of im outside of us
Does this help out the devs? I'm hoping this will help fix the last issues so I can rock a proper AOSP ROM. I can go without the camera, but need my GPS.

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.
