Hi!
I'm new on this awesome forum, so I hope to post the thread in the right section.
I downloaded WhatsApp from the official site, not from Play Store. And I also disabled the option in the Play Store to prevent automatic updates of all apps.
Btw, whenever WhatsApp released an update, the .apk file is downloading automatically in "WhatsApp" folder on my device.
So everytime I open WhatsApp it keeps asking me to update until I tap "Ok".
Now my question is:
Is there a way to avoid WhatsApp from downloading these damn updates automatically?
Thanks for help.
no that is normal
i will explain
it will ask you to update if the whatsapp.apk still in whatsapp download folder
just when you update whats app and after installing the new one just delete or move whatsapp.apk from whatsapp download folder on your device

I always do this. But when a new update comes out, it appears in the folder again. Plus, every update "eats" 27 megabites from my data plan.
So I was wondering if there's something I can do to stop this automatic download of WhatsApp.apk.
badly the whatsapp team always force you to update the whatsapp automaticly or it will not longer work for you
so i think there is no way to do it
im my whatsapp.apk its ask me first to download the update
but if clicked later it will not work for me any more
stupid app

My .apk never asks me to download the update. It just does it automatically. And then it keeps annoying me asking to install the update.
Then, probably there's no chance in hell to avoid this thing.
Thank you anyway for helping me.

Hoping someone could help:
I am running nightly 4/22 with gapps 4/22 I have never been able to load the google music app from the store. I am currently running the stock ICS music.apk. If I try to install the new google music i get the "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again"... If I delete the music.apk or uninstall via apps or TI Backup and try to install the new version from the store I get "Application already exists". Does anyone have any clue why I am stuck in this stupid cycle...
I found the following via google support: If you receive the "Package file was not signed correctly" error, this is because your device is not on a user build. If your device is on a "userdebug" build with "test-keys" in the build description, the Google Play Music update will not be able to be installed from Google Play at this time.
Dont know if this applys to cm9 or not as I dont understand any of the above. I beleive I had heard of people running this app on CM9, so I assume its my machine specifically.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

UPDATE- I downloaded the newest google play music .apk and renamed to music.apk. I took the stock apk and replaced with the new one within the rom zip. re flashed rom and it worked. Unfortunately it doesn't show I have purchased via the google store, so it will never update itself. I will probably have to do this edit anytime I flash a new rom.
I have tried changing the apk name and it doesnt work. Also went to store and tried to install the app on top of the one loaded and it just sticks on "installing"
At least its working for now.
Hi, Im new to android and i just bought the Huawei Honor II U9508 2gb ram with android 4.1.2 and with huawei's Emotion UI 1.5.
The problem is that Google play store didnt come with the phone and i have tried installing it with 4share but everytime i get an error that says u "Unfortunately, Google Play has Stopped" I have tried many things like deleting chache and deleting email. Do i have to Root to get it to work?
Another thing is that i really like to have my phone rooted.. as i said has android 4.1.2 and huawei's Emotion UI 1.5 (2gb ram)
Thanks in advance!
Edit: also i really like to get rid of the Chinese in for example browser (have it set on english but still alot of Chinese) and Youtube didnt work in browser at all. In the commericals i see Voice Assistant in english but i have it in Chinese (any way to change it)
I read a little about it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039998 but was a bit confused. Can anyone write here for this version if you find out? Really need this

You need to install (flash) gapps.zip from recovery mode.
copy zip file to your sd card.
from recovery mode, choose install zip from sd card
select zip file and install it. then reboot system.
when reboot, you can see play store app and can use it.

Ok so i don't know how to say this but.
-I had rooted my phone.
-Then i wanted to get Facebook Home
-So i deleted the file for facebook(because usually you aren't supposed to be able to delete facebook just un-install the updates.)
-And then time passed and i unrooted it, next day it got stuck in a bootloop and i fixed it. But now i can delete facebook.
-Does anyone know the file to put it so i can't delete it just un-install to stock lg l9 facebook. And where to put that file so it won't fully delete and so it'll just say uninstall updates?
I would really appreciate it if you can help!!

Copy the facebook.apk from your data/app folder to your system/app folder. Reboot the device and it will be a sudden app again; however, i recommend leaving facebook as a user app... that way it is overwritten when it updates

because when you move it to the system folder it's not a downloaded app... it's a system app after that step.

you could, or you could flash the KDZ for it and it'll be back to stock...
Next time dont delete and do uninstal apk.
Thats make the problem.
The apk is not only the apk file in system->apk.
There is another files in other directories.
Try to clean whit some program.

this my first thread, hope i can get some answer.
my phone is asus zen 2 laser wich is recently get marsmallow update, and you know even the android is the newest version but the system and user app such as gmail playstore and etc keepin' give an update like twice a month maybe, and im the one who always check the latest version of my apps on playstore, then if theres an update i will update to the latest version
what i want to ask is how to integrated the update app to rom?
you know if you update an user apps the update will replace the old one cause theres still on data/app
but if you update a system app the old one still on system/app or system/priv-app and the new one on data/app
wich is for me so wasting space, cause i have a pretty large freespace on system/
i usually use link2sd but on Marshmallow i think it useless, it says success like always but after i reboot the apps that i recently integrated with link2sd will gone, therefore the file still on system
i try to manually push the file into system, it just get the same result
anyone can help me?
I want to install a older version of Google Contacts as apk. Because there is a bug in later versions, i don't want to update the app automatically and also don't want to get a update notification, when I search manually for updates.
Do i need to edit the apk name or something else? Is there any advice for this?
@Lifear
If you clone an app, for example with 3rd-party Parallel Space app, the clone doesn't get automatically updated.
Oh. Nice to hear that. And this clone creates a new apk file to save it for install it later again?
