[Q] Prevent single app from updating?

I tried to Google this but just kept getting results about what phones have what Rom updates and how to update apps.
The recent updates to the Trillian app are pretty terrible, I and many others are choosing to stick with the older version. Problem is I have many apps installed on this phone. Thanks to that update I am no longer able to hit "UpdatecAll" as I do not want the Trillian app to update, so I am forced to manually open the page for each app that has an update and update them one-by-one. A very annoying and tedious processes, especially since if I wait so much as a week there can be up to 20 updates to install.
Is there any way I can somehow block this one app from being updated or put it on a no update lust or something?
I don't like to have my apps auto-update.
Is there really no way to do this?
I would really like to know this too...

Is it possible to make a specific app never update?

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to stop a specific applicaiton from updating. (that is not the disable automatic updates and manually update)
Some applications are frequently updated, and eventually you can reach a point where you have many programs wanting to update, and then 1 or 2 programs which you never want to update because the developer decided to remove a feature for no reason, or made a change that breaks compatibility with some devices.
Overall, I would like to be able to use the "Update All" button without having to worry about it updating the 1 or 2 applications that I never want updated.
When you press the update all button, it opens a popup saying that you disabled updated for certain app. It then asks if you still want to update it or skip it. Not automatic, but does the job

If you long press on the notification, you will see a little "info" icon. Click that and "show no notification from this app"
Also as a backup, every time I see a notification, the first thing I do is make a nandroid backup. One time I let my sister use my phone to make a call and she accidentally clicked install and bricked it... If you make an immediate nandroid backup, you'll have a "checkpoint" to restore to in case you do install by accident.
When I long press it it shows "Google Play Services" as being the owner of the notification. I went ahead and disabled notifications anyway.
Also, I'm trying to figure out what is downloading the OTA on my phone. I did a search, including system apps, in titanium backup for OTA and found nothing. I did a google search and some said to disable LGFOTA.apk and other apks but I couldn't find any of them on my phone.
I am on stock rooted and depend on root daily with the apps I use so I hope it doesn't force me to update. I've heard of that happening on other phones. My most recent notification wouldn't let me press "Later" anymore and was now a persistent notification.
So, will I not be able to root, if I update to the official 6.0?

I think you **may** have to freeze the update center. I searched for "update" in my equivalent of TB ( I'm too poor to be able to afford TB pro after paying for the phone lol) & it showed the update center, which I went ahead & froze. That seemed to make my notification disappear. Hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:

How to disable OTA notifications?

Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me how I can disable OTA notifications? Also, how to delete the already downloaded update and prevent it from being downloaded again. The notification is pretty agressive, it always jumps to the update app at least twice a day.

First, why don't you want to update?
Second, to disable notifications from update, go to settings, apps, updater, notifications and turn all off. Try to delete the app's data also.

First, I spent two months to find out how to go back from Android 6 to 5, and I'm happy I could.
Second, the notifications are turned off,but it always jumps to the update page and wants me to press the update button. Turning off notifications doesn't help. Deleting app's data did not delete the update package.

Freeze the update app using titanium backup. I do this to stop the pop up and can be easily reverted if I want to update

How to disable an app or game from forcing me to auto update?

There is an app I like but it has the unfortunate habit of forcing me to update in app when I just want to use the current version. When it detects an update, the current version stops working. So I would like to know how I could hack the app to make it stop checking for updates, or make it think it is the latest version ?
