How to stop OTA update notification..?? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm unlocked and rooted.......on Virtuous Grouper.......I have been getting the OTA update notification for 4.1.1......I can't get it to stop......I even tried to install it to see what would happen.......obviously screwed up.......now back to full setup (finally) on the Virtuous ROM.......still getting notifiaction.......any ideas on how to stop this..??......I even tried FOTAKill......didn't work......thanks for any help.......

I think that you need to ask the ROM developer to remove the update function from a ROM that obviously doesn't/can't use it.

Yeah.......thought about that.....I have never had this happen before on past ROMs......caught me by surprise.......will try......thanks.....

Or you can try to edit build.prop
You need to edit string called "ro.build.fingerprint"
On GN it looks like this: ro.build.fingerprint=google/yakju/maguro:4.1.1/JRO03C/XXXXXX:user/release-keys. Where XXXXXX is var from string "ro.build.version.incremental". Maybe you just need to change maguro to grouper.

Market Fix for rom cooks

In your build.prop change your fingerprint to
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys
This will allow a full market.
To test: search for 'us bank' in the market, if only 2 apps show up, your not getting the full market.
This is the fingerprint off the Motorola Droid.
can the PROP file be edited, updated in the archive and re-signed and flashed without error, with current ROMs?

Don't see why not. Non eris roms may need more work, wait for my apk to do that.
jcase, correct me if I'm wrong but this market fix would be cancelled out by the JIT flash, since it updates the build.prop file.
might need to update the prop in the JIT flash if anyone wants to keep the full market.
again, please correct me if I'm wrong
How would you implement this in ahero / legend rom? I added the line abover to replace the one saying it was sprint but that didnt do the trick. Thanks.

Insert sim notification?

i'm running a rooted 3.2 rom but on the lockscreen it says insert sim card. I have a wifi only model therefore no sim card slot. Anyway to remove this? I tried doing that build.prop thing but it doesn't have the #carrier=wifi only thing. The only thing closely related is a part that says something about the sim=1

Lmfao! Don't no sh!t me! I did it before I saw your post. It was 2 A.M. and I just wanted it fixed before school in the morning. Thanks anyways
for the sim card message to go away you need the ADD the line "ro.carrier=wifi-only " in the build.prop and save it .
query
im grateful you helped on that, but i found that it didnt go away.
using taboonay 2.0 with stock build.prop + the line you mensioned.
nothing changed,
even when i had taboonays build.prop with said line, it still was there
so im thinking, what else could change this? e.g another file to modify/edit etc
any help would be great,
cheers

Just had a look at the thread for Taboonay and it states that his ROM is based on both the A500 & A501 ROMs (not certain why someone would do that instead of putting out two different iterations of said ROM).
Be that as it may, you'd probably get a quicker and more complete answer asking at the source here:

ICS AOKP ROM for the u8800

This is an AOKP ROM for the u8800. It is ported from Huawei Honor B977 4.0.3. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this and what they think. It's a chinese rom from the anzhi forums (original thread)
I flashed this ROM just now ( thanks fjsferreira for the mirror), this is my feedback:
- Fast, smooth (on par with Aurora).
- Wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, and the like work.
- No gapps, Play Store, camera, browser...(you pretty much have to install everything yourself).
- No strip unicode in the Mms.apk.
- Popup notification support in the Mms.apk.
- Cool AOKP tweaks (naturally...).
- No theme-chooser (meaning you'll have to stick with the mix of Touchwiz 5, ICS and lots of tranparency that is the UI).
- Long pressing the Home key doesn't show the multi-tasking interface and doesn't take you to the Homescreen.
- The SEARCH key is set to turn off the screen (to revert it to its normal function (searching!), check this post).
- I'll add more feedback information as more people try it and report.

Make sure the system folder fits in your system partition. I think you need to chacge the partitions in order to flash this, but I'm not sure. Our phone's default system partition is 210 mb
Has anyone tried it? Or have mirror?
I would love to give a try, but download time shows me 18 hours...
I have tried the previous ver actually..... Partition is a must, otherwise phone wont pass Huawei logo. Its ported from Huawei Honor ...every thing works well but Home key does not work..... But be aware some time it happens that you cant return to stock partition and you wont be able to Flash official 2.3 or Froyo ROM back.

I haven't tried that way, you can try once.... All 4.0 official ROM designed for U8800 PRO also officially they have made .app file for changing the partition to install ICS so i doubt it will work.

Actually this version is much smaller (109MB) than the previous (180MB), so it may not need re-partitioning. It has a ".UP" suffix so maybe it is an update flashable only and you need the previous installed, but I can't know since I cannot download it. It just goes soooooo slowwww....
camera not working

I know, right? I left the computer on and went to the beach but when I came back the file only had 86mb out of the 109mb...I'll have to try again tomorrow, since it will probably take some 4 hours to download.

If you guys use something to stabilize the download, like free download manager, speed is always above 800 KB/s (I've just finished my download, took less than 3mins)
http://i.imgur.com/5kkae.jpg
EDIT: anyway, here it is
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4ZMZwAV0MEaVUUzMjRDM2JyXzg
(I didn't try this ROM yet, and probably won't, Aurora is completely stable for me right now)
Well, just went ahead and tried the ROM. From my 10 minutes playing with it, everything seems to work, wifi, mobile data, bluetooth and camera (camera isn't included by default, you have to install one).
Also, no market by default, you have to manually edit the zip file and include the market apk in it.
Sadly I had to uninstall it after 10 mins because, and I'm seeing this more and more, the dev completely screwed up the UI... it's simply horrible, it's not default AOKP at all... He made a complete mess with icons from samsung, an horrible background in every app, horrible popups and menus, etc... I didn't like that at all. I didn't even took the time to create screenshots, I'm sorry, because it was burning my eyes...
There are some stuff completely in chinese, in the ROM control area of the settings, but overall, you can choose any language that Android includes. Note, while the theme of the UI isn't AOKP, the ROM itself is, with the usual settings AOKP provides,
Performance wise, I saw no difference than with aurora...

Thanks. I reverted to the good old .32 kernel yesterday, so I won't be testing this one for now. However, I'll still update the OP with the links to the latest version and the features/bugs list.

[Q] A question regarding 4.2.2 upgrade and native dialer

I have enabled native dialer by modifying framework-res.apk in my Nexus 7 3G with JB 4.2.1.
Now my question is, will the native dialer stay if i upgrade to 4.2.2? Did anybody try? Pls share. Thanks a lot.
Are you on a custom ROM?
No, I simply downloaded a dialer-enabled framework-res in this forum and replaced the original one.
btw, is there any place to download dialer-enabled 4.2.2 framework? I had trouble doing this myself
thanks in advance!
Can you post up your framework-res? I will make the small edit for you. As I understand it, it is just a bool edit "<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>", where you change false to true.

Hi hlxanthus,
Attached is the framework-res.apk from 4.2.2. Really appreciate if you can help!
Thank you!
Here are some flashable packages, that will work for you within twrp or cwm recoveries. If you would rather you can just crack them open to pull the apk out. One has the one I modded and the other is the original you posted up. Please know that this will ONLY work with the rom you pulled the framework-res from. So if this is a stock apk, then that is all you can use this with.
Please note, that while this should give you access to the dialer, it will not magically enable phone calls on your device (that I know of atleast, let me know if I am wrong LOL). You will still have to use a VoIP service like GrooveIP for example to route said phone calls thru your wifi and 3G radios.
Download - 4.2.2.dialer_enabled.framework-res.tilapia.zip

I clicked the system update button and reboot....
But it didn't update successfully and stopped in the middle of the upgrade.
I was asked to reboot and I am still in 4.2.1.
Any idea why? The whole process took only a minute or so.
Is it because mine was rooted?

Might be. Other modifications have you made? You might need to flash a stock recovery back in place at the very least.

Hi there,
I have a Nexus 7 Wifi only and i would love to have the stock dialer to use my SIP account.

are u saying the buttons located at the bottom on the status bar are not working because if so thats a known issue. What happens when u hit the maximize/restore icon in the top/lower right corner? Does the app float or does the icon even appear at all? What happens when u drag an app from the tray then drag another app from the tray?
as i replied on the 6200 post... the apps only open as usual apps... the resize or switch icon does not appear anywhere...

if u are rooted try to replace the "multiwindow.tablet.xml" file in "system - etc - permissions" with this "multiwindow.phone.xml"(dont forget to set permissions & reboot) attached below & see if that makes a difference(floating windows shouldn't work but dual panel might)
i'm also a lil concerned since this isnt a pure stock rom but since its mixed with plus & note 8 files it seems like it should work
