Disable the Google OTA updates completely - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My android device is rooted and I would like to disable the Google OTA updates completely.
I did following steps:
Installed Disable Services and allowed it for root access.
Opened Disable Services
Under System Apps, selected Google Services Framework
I found SystemUpdateService is already unchecked.
I checked it and again unchecked it, then I restarted the android device.
However I see the notification for System Update. For its temporary resolution, I unchecked the notification of Google Play Services.
Please help me to disable the Google OTA updates completely
Regards

[Q] [HELP] Manually installed wrong version of Google Play Services

Hi!
I own a Motorola Moto X 2nd gen, model XT1097 (brazilian retail), running the official Android 5.0 released by Motorola, rooted and bootloader unlocked.
After the manual installation of the Google Play Services 6.5.88 (1599915-836) version, I have lost the Smart Lock functionality. I have tried many times to uninstall this update, and manually install the correct version for my device, the 6.5.87 (1599771-438), what brings back the funcionality. But, after some time, the system automatically updates to the wrong version again and again.
I have tried many ways to avoid this, using apps that disable auto updates (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sequoiaz.disableautoupdate) and that disable services (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice). This last one, I used following the instructions of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/tip-disable-android-update-t2876674. I have disabled the backup of my account, and even deleted all the data backed up of my device at the Google servers. But, unfortunately, no one of these methods have success.
Please, what can I do for my device mantain the appropriate version, and have the Smart Lock functionality restored?
Thank you very much, and sorry for my bad English!
Have you tried this:
Go to settings->Apps->Google play services and press "Uninstall updates". Confirm the dialogue.

Yes, I did it. After that, I've manually installed the correct version, but, the auto update overwrite it with the wrong version.
Thanks!!! it worked for me in lollipop...Please go to the downloaded section of the apps!!

Honda - Cannot install APKs

Hey all.
I've got Honda Jazz with built-in multimedia system running Android 4.0.4.
I am trying to install navigation apps such as Waze and Google Maps but nothing works.
I have tried to install both via USB stick (the install button is greyed out and unclickable) and by downloading the APK - the installation is initiated but then it says "app not installed".
I suspect that the version I've downloaded from Google Play is not compatible with my system.
Any thoughts on how I can successfully bypass all the restrictions and install those apps? Or maybe to install Google Play store and services?

Activate signature spoofing on Ulefone Armor 6E (microG)

Hello,
I have a Ulefone 6E rooted with Magisk with HavocOS 2.9 custom rom installed
I'm trying to get rid of everything google (i don't have a google account)
HavocOS 2.9 has no google apps installed (no Gapps), nor Google mobile services or google play services.
Problem on this rom:
Without play services, GPS and many apps (transferwise, epayments...) that require play services don't work.
So i installed the nanodroid microG package NanoDroid-microG-22.4.20190811.zip
Thanks to microG, the GPS work in my GPS applications (API were installed) but i continue not beeong able to use my apps that rely on play services, i get this message:
Transferwise won't run without Play Services, wich are not supported by your device
So i'm guessing microG is not really using signature spoofing to fake the presence of play services to apps like Transferwise or Epayments ???
How can i make them work ?
I have enabled, in phone settings, spoof signature package app permission for microG services core, fakestore and signature spoofing checker (an app i installed to see if signature spoofing was working)
Note that the app signature spoofing checker tells me that signature spoofing is diseabled.
Also, in microG settings, in Self-check option, system grants signature spoofing permission is checked, but system spoofs signayure is unchecked (so it appears spoof signature is not really activated) (and i can't check this box)
I don't know what to do there....
Also note that Play services info app used to check if play services are correctly installed tells me Google Play services are invalid or incomplete (it told me the same thing when i installed the official google play services, that i tried before installing microG, downloaded from apkmirror com.google.android.gms_19.2.75_(100400-269183835)-19275037_minAPI28(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk)
So please tell me what to do to really make signature spoofing work and fake google play services (i didn't enable google device registration in microG settings because i want privacy, maybe that is the problem ? But if i enable google device registration there is no point in using microG for me)
Thanks in advance

google apps
you messed something up, most of the apps use google play service, you must have it.
I do not use google as well but it must be present into the device.
You have to re-flash the rom, after that before boot the phone up flash google apps.
After that, you can uninstall whatever you want except google play service, google framework and google play.
Google play can be disabled, no need to uninstall it. i use Aptoide as market much better than the google one.
all the rest will work, maps no need to log in.
You can not get rid definitely of google in android.
Out of interest, how does Havoc run on the phone? I've had mine for about 4 months now (rooted) but a bit sick of the buggy standard software. Do you recommend installing the custom OS?

Do disabled (frozen) applications stay disabled, after sideloading an OTA (from Android 10 to Android 11)? Even Google Play Services?

I have many applications frozen, also system applications like Google Play Services, on my Pixel 3a with stock Android 10 ROM.
Now I'd like to upgrade from Android 10 to Android 11, by sideloading an OTA image from Google through ADB.
After the upgrade, will all applications that were disabled remain disabled? Even system applications like Google Play Services?
