So far, I've only found one thread on XDA where someone is asking how to disable Android System Update Notifications. Is there a way to do this? The method of disabling LGFOTA.apk for the LG G4 does not work. I'm currently rooted on 20J.
Thanks!

As I already wrote in another thread:
Go to Settings-Sound and Notification-Apps and block notifications for Google Play Services.
Won't that block ALL updates for Google Play Services such as if ANY apps have any updates available? Isn't it an all-or-nothing kind of thing with blocking notifications and not just for T-Mobile updates? Plus, my notifications show that this is already blocked but I'm still getting the notification for the T-Mobile update.
I just updated to the latest build through Eliminator's method and that's when I started getting this update notification.
DisableService app. I'm using it right now for this very reason. There are threads on xda on how to configure it.

Latest aFirewall (call blocking software) update has 2 new permissions, one of them I can understand since its related to app purpose:
INTERCEPT OUTGOING CALLS
Allows the app to process outgoing calls and change the number to be dialed. Malicious apps may monitor, redirect, or prevent outgoing calls.
But there's a second permission that I dont see its purpose:
RETRIEVE RUNNING APPS
Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. Malicious apps may discover private information about other apps.
What's in this version:
3.6.0:
1. Update application icon;
2. Add running info display and shortcut;
3. Fix two FCs;

Anyone knows if this permission is really necessary?
Thank you
Look at number 2

I can see that, but what does this do? Why does a call blocking app needs this?
To identify malicious apps running in the background, I assume?
It used to identify if BackupToEmail is installed in your phone. Thanks.

Shouldn't need any special permission to determine if a specific package is installed.

I recently rooted my kindle hdx 8.9 with .94 toolkit. Every thing works fine. I disabled the OTA update with tookkit .94. I did not manually install the current update with the other program, due to some reporting bricking if not done correctly.
I used tookkit .94 to un-install (re-enable) OTA updates, however when I got to take an update in the menu, it reports update failed..
So, how to I re-enable auto updates? I want to take the current update, so I can remove ads from Amazon, cause I paid them 15 bux. Then I want to re-root and re-enable OTA blocker.
Any help would be appreciated.
You do know that you can easily remove the ads yourself, right?
Remove adds

very dangerous that is for the HD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790659
, You only need to do the SQ edit and you are done. I had the exact same issue after I paid for the removal I would get black screen lock screen. Trust me do the SQ lite Edit only .reboot
Thanks for the information on sqlite. It worked great. However, that's been months ago.
I would like to be able to take a more recent update, as I'm still on 14.3.1.0
And still be able to re-root. Like I stated in my original post. I'm not sure of the process needed to 're-enable' OTA updates. Or if there is a way to manually install a more current update.
Thanks. Merry Christmas

I remember at some point before some software updates the Facebook app used to be show notifications via the little round badge on the top-right of the app icon. It hasn't been working since I did an update (not sure what version it was). In the app permission info this function is still listed there. Do you guys have the same issue too?

Not sure how this is related to the xzu.... Are you using a stock ROM? If so get rid of the xperia social media bloat and download them manually from the play store.

Brah I think you're the only one who uses that on this site.
Anyways I'm not sure if you can downgrade an update, but what you can do is flash an earlier version of your ROM and then disable/ignore the updates
So knowing what version of Android you're using would help.

Thanks for the suggestion but I wont go as far to flashing/downgrading the rom to get a feature back. I am on the latest 5.1.1 build.

Is there anything I can freeze or delete with TiBackup to stop my phone from popping up the "System update downloaded" dialog? All T-mo related stuff has been frozen as well as fota if it makes a difference.... TIA
Anybody?
I'd like to know as well. Until I know there's root for whatever release, no 'added features' will make it worth while to break my v4a!

Go to Settings-Sound and Notification-Apps and block notifications for Google Play Services.
I'd you are rooted you can use the app called DisableService to disable some parts of google framework updates. I'm using it on mine to disable the OTA until root is acheived.

What app do I freeze to stop the "Android System Update" pop-up from popping up? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks for any replies. I can't seem to find it through a Google Search and want to make sure I don't freeze anything I shouldn't be freezing.

The effectiveness and the apps you want to freeze depend alot upon root.
If not rooted all you can really do is go to the system update apps and delete the data, clear the caches and disable the one you're allowed too.
I may well be wrong but that's all I've found being without root again.
Look up the debloater program for root if you have root and it specifies exactly what you want to do, while providing a nice clean utility to do so.

My phone is running great and after installing the Xposed framework it's amazing but I do have slow Wi-Fi at times and it seems the update might fix that.
