I have a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus F3 and I rooted it a while back, after thus it kept nagging me to update to the V6 firmware.
I then went and got "Disable Service" and used that on "Google Services Framework". All was well... for a time.
I don't know what happened or what I installed, but now the damn thing has come back like a zombie and won't die. I even used "Disable Service" again and it keeps re-enabling itself somehow.
A. Has anyone had this problem and managed to kill the System Update once and for all, again.
B. Is there a way to see what is enabling the service in the GSF so I can either uninstall it or disable that.
C. If there is no solution, is there a modified GSF floating around with the update service/Update permission patched to off.
Things I've tried are:
Disable Service
AutoStars (older program)
Rom Toolbox (Autostar manager)
Lucky Patcher (Change the apk, rebuild and install) -> This fails as it says it's installed the rebuilt APK but it never does and I have to re-unbackup from Titanium
Things that work but are not a real solution:
Titanium Backup -> Freeze the damn thing
I would like to be able to go into the Play Store whenever I want without having to keep unfreezing it. It also prevents programs from updating automagically.
Was there ever a solution to this? The update notifications are driving me nuts.

Edit: Found the problem, Superuser App had block TB rights... works now.
I recently had my G-Tablet crash again and give me a bunch of forces closes on a handful of apps (1 being Titanium Backup). So I ran Fix Permissions as I had done in the past and it fixed those issues, but at the same time removed a bunch of apps I had downloaded on the Marketplace. So I went to restore them via TB, but it's telling me it doesn't have root rights!!! So is my tablet un-rooted? How do I get my root rights back? And is it possible to do without having to wipe everything?
Also is there a better way to turn off the Tablet than the side power button? This is was the cause of the crash, the device options menu didn't show up and the thing just turned off, next time I turned it on I got all the force closes.
I'm using TnT Lite 4.2.0 which other than the missing root rights seems to be functioning fine.
Ok. I bought this G Tab knowing that I would have to install ROMs, tweak .prop files, NVFlash, CWM, RootExplorer, etc. No problem there.
But now I have had it with this new Market. Many (if not most) applications are showing as incompatible with my tablet even though I already installed them. My beloved Word With Friends now requires an update, but I can not install it from the Market as the new Market believes the app is incompatible with my ROM. That is the last draw as I cannot play it anymore.
So does anybody have a market.zip that has Market 2.3.6 so I can go back to the old market? I have the .apk files but I think I need something that could install via CWM (BL 1.2) since all the apks do not work if you install them by themselves (they all FC). I would freeze market updater so it does not upgrade again to 3.x.
Thanks

Installed the GAPPS and it did not install the market. Tried uninstalling Market and Market updater first and still no go.
It looks like something is blocking the old market from being installed. I extracted it and installed it myself but it then FC everytime it started.
Very frustrating. This is the kind of crap that is going to kill android. It just looks like Google is purposedly trying to lock out aftermarket ROMs from accessing Market apps.
This happens to me frequently. The solution Ive found is to stop the market and clear data. After this is done, launch the market and youll no longer get the error. Sometimes Ill have to do this 3-4 times a day. Good luck.
Interestingly enough, I think I got a workaround. Through some investigation, I found out that the problem was that many apps were being filtered because of the screen resolution. So I started working with the density property in the build.prop to find out if there was a magic number that will make things work like they used to. It appears that I did find that number and it is 160.
So I updated the build.prop line with Root Explorer:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
After that I cleared the Market app data and the Google Services Framework data. Rebooted and everything that was previously installed seems to be recognized and the applications started updating again.
Trying to debloat without root on Lollipop 5.1.1 using debloater
Hi fellas,
I have been using the Debloater program to disable apps on my (unrooted) Samsung Galaxy Note5 (Verizon). The program recognizes my phone and when I disable an app, it is sent to the Disabled section in Applications -> Application Manager. The problem is that when the phone sleeps or is rebooted, all the disabled apps reappear. I assume a system service is restarting them, but I have no clue which service that is and I don't want to go through blindly disabling the 350+ (!!) apps preinstalled with the phone. The only app I found that may be responsible is 'PreloadInstaller.apk', which I disabled to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea what app or apps are responsible for restarting the unwanted applications? I really don't want to resort to rooting my phone if possible, and definitely don't want to ROM it. This phone is almost $700; I don't want to permanently mess it up in any way.
hey everybody!
running taimen 8.1 rooted stock with the greenify magisk module and (ofc) the app from the playstore. whenever enabling aggressive doze in greenify settings, it gets reset to "off" after a reboot.
anyone knows why?
thanks!
I have been searching for hours if there is an answer for that, no luck so far.
My Xiaomi phones have most apps that came with it as unoptimized, and when you optimize them, they get reset after a boot. Same with user apps that we install, I unoptimize important apps like Whatsapp, but after a reboot, it gets reset to optimized.
My Asus phone is the opposite, all apps including Google services are Optimized, and for my user apps as well as system apps that I set, they don't get reset after reboot.
No problem to set it all over again, IF I rarely reboot. Unfortunately, Xiaomi gives me weekly developer rom updates, and I have 4 Xiaomis to update. I also like to backup using TWRP, saved me countless times when I accidentally screw up the phone (and Titanium Backup to restore more recent updates backed up).
I can systemize the app in question and it will stick, but I've a phobia now for systemizing apps.
Does anyone knows where the system stores the information we set for Battery Optimization ? i.e. which file, directory ...
So I recently rooted my VS996 V30 using the TWRP and Magisk guide and got it to unlock and root with no problem whatsoever. The issue is now that whenever I create a new user on the phone, there is a service ran that downloads and installs a bunch of games and apps and it is very annoying. It did not install these on my main user profile initially, only whenever I create new ones. Whenever I go to settings and go to apps, selecting these apps reveals that they were installed through "Mobile Services Manager." I figured that if I went back on my main user profile and uninstalled Mobile Services Manager that this would no longer occur. I did this and as soon as I created a new user again, the service self-installed itself and proceeded to install all the apps along with it. How can I remove these auto-installations?
