I'm using a semi-stock rom that's been debloated and rooted and a bunch of extra junk....there was a new update released recently and my phone is wanting to update. What's the preferred way to stop the system from trying to update and get rid of the download and notification?

Remove the Update Center app.
It's located in /system/priv_app/Update_center(-release).apk
use any System Application Disable App from playstore, browse for software update , and disable it ..
i.e. if you don't wana remove / delete system component

So I'm playing around with custom ROMs when the official ICS update comes out. I load it and decide I want to re-root and move back to a custom ROM.
I loaded FJMOD's ROM and then updated to his build 3.
Somewhere along the way, this accuweather widget comes up on my lock screen. It never updates so I want to get rid of it.
Now I'm showing my newbiness - how? There's no option to uninstall in applications. I can see 2 icons listed in System -> Applications - Accuweather Weather Daemon and AccuWeather.com. I can't uninstall either.
I'm guessing this is easy, but I can't find it. Can someone point me to a reference to uninstall "uninstallable" applications?
BTW - I tried to disable the apps, and that worked. But I still can't uninstall.
Thanks

Dump that bloated crap ....
If its in your lockscrean go under settings,lock screen and disable it or like the above said if you want it completely gone tb is the way to go or use a rootable file explorer and under system/app
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?
My Z2 forcefully started the update from .570 to .575. I would like to cancel the update but have no option to.
When connecting to any wi-fi/data connection it automatically resumes.
I'm currently on 570 firmware, rooted with recovery and do not wish to update to 575 as I will lose recovery and root!
How can I manually remove the update? What must I remove in Root Explorer?
Thanks.
actually even the download completed , it will not update because u have root
don not worry
if you want to cancel the auto. update , go to About phone - Software update and select setting from the menu and cancel the auto. update

In the ''About phone'' menu, software update is missing, it is not there!
On the top of the screen I still have the notification ''Xperia system update'' followed by pending Wi-Fi network to continue.
Is there not another way to simply remove the update and stop it from continuing?
you can try go to settings, aplications, all, see app Update Software and Force Close
you can freeze software update with titanium backup

I have Titanium backup but I forgot about freezing the app. Thanks for reminding me to do so! ''System Update'' service now frozen!
Another option was - Disable app in Settings / App/ All /Update service app.
Hi All:
Quick question: have you ever seen something like this? A software update that does not say what's the app or operating system to be updated and who is the publisher?
When I click the back arrow to the left of "Software Update", there isn't any other user interface. I am simply sent to the home page of my cell.
Is there any way to completely remove this package? From where?
Thank you very much! As a new user, I can't post links to screen captures, but you can just add http to the front of these:

Is this really a system update then it can be official but if not then it is probably a malware
Go to system settings< about phone<system update and check weather there is really an update or not. If yes,then it is official but if no, then you will have to uninstall the malware using some root removal apps available on play store abundantly
Also check u have not given root permissions to whatsapp and zygote since both if them are malwares which probably ask root access as soon as your device is rooted

Thank you milkyway! You are exactly correct.
I found the same update when selecting "system settings< about phone<system update".
HI guys.
I got a notification on my android 7 that theres an xperia system update. I click on it and it says 'ready to install'. Can this sfill be stopped?
I already long click the notification and used force stop so now the note is gone. However under settings about phone software update, it still says 'xperia update ready to install'. I then set download updates to off for both system and apps.
But now what..
Does this mean the system update is already in my phone and will be installed regardless?
Is there a way to stop it?
