Disable update notification - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've had the minor 4.3 update (The 1.8MB one) lingering on my phone for a while and I'm dying to get rid of the notification. I flashed the hybrid LTE radio and just don't see any need to bother going through the trouble of updating so I've left it in the notifications bar.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I read something about freezing SDM but I can't find it in Titanium Backup. I also know you can disable Google Services Framework notifications but I don't want to miss other important Google notifications and I'm not sure what else Google Services Framework pushes.
Any help is very much appreciated.

The update is a security update so it would be wise to update

Ok fair enough, is there any simpler method than having to go back to stock? I flashed the hybrid radio and have Xposed installed.

This might work
* Flash xposed disabler (not sure if this is needed)
* Flash stock recovery.
* Install update.
* Flash your preferred custom recovery.
* Flash superuser/supersu and install xposed

This has worked for me in the past on stock 4.2.x, but your mileage might vary on 4.3:
Let the device download the update, but do not install it. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, then reboot. The update notification system will now be broken and shouldn't alert you to any new updates.

Updates w/ unlocked bootloader and CWM

Hi guys, I'd just like to know whether or not your Nexus 7 can still update normally i.e Settings>About Tablet>System Updates if it has a unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. Just like to know in advance before I install Clockwork Mod. Thanks in advance.
Once unlocked & rooted- install the app OTA RootKeeper- it's free in the Google Play store.
It's lets you temporarily un-root for OTA updates- then easily re-root after the update's done.
root keeper only works on minor updates. And does not work correctly for all devices . I do not see why google would root app checks before allowing a update. and have the updates to skip the apps you removed. I hope anyway. Acer is a basket case when it comes to ota updates. everything has to be exact as it was bought no frozen removed apps no root .
grrrrr its mine let me do what i wish with it .
Anything right now is only a guess as the device is quite new.

Thanks, but would an ota update install through a custom recovery normally, or would I have to get the zip file off xda manually and do it myself

This method would allow you to get the updates over the air like normal through settings, about phone. But you may need to install a custom recovery afterwards.
However since you're rooted you'll have the opportunity of getting software before the OTA stuff comes out most likely.
My advice would be that even though you can do it that way, you don't have a reason too and you're better off not doing it that way unless a specific reason that you need to comes up.
Deciding whether or not I will dev on this ... liking the stock experience on this device. Probably will root so I can make a custom kernel and ROM. Thanks for your help guys!

Possible to disable android os autoupdate?

Might be an answered question. Was just wondering if there's anyway to disable the autoupdate. I like my S4 the way it is right now and don't want any chance that it might autoupdate to android 4.3 which can mess up rooting etc even though i have rootkeeper. At least til issues with new android ver are all clear. So anyway to disable this auto os update? thnx..
Your rooted that's enough to disable I believe cus it wont update if modified. .I might be wrong

Rooted my nexus 10 and that didn't prevent it from dnlding the update. At least it has the decency not to go ahead w installing the downloaded update. Now I hv this constant notification on the status bar to install it. Don't want this to happen also to S4
4.3 is at least 1-2 months away so I doubt you need to do this. And got a blunt is mostly right. Being rooted will not allow the installation to happen. It will download the update and tell you have a system update but it won't install on its own.

So any danger of me inadvertently clicking on the update notification and update happens and wiping out my settings? or rooting won't let it updated at all and to update you have to go back to stock first?

The only way of being able to update its just having a rooted phone with no mods in someway and also having stock recovery, if you are rooted with a custom rom or mods and have a different recovery then yes if you click the update accidently then you wont have no problem what so ever its just going to abort.

On my rooted S4 (CF-auto-root), I also have TWRP recovery installed. So this would qualify then as a different recovery? Additionally i also got MF9HotspotMod-Odexed and international SIM unlock on there. So i am guessing all this should be enough to prevent any update?
OTAs won't flash in custom recoveries. If you for some reason hit install update it would boot into recovery and try to install but fail.

What do i do?

So i got a system update download this morning for 4.3 .... What is it and what should i do? Im rooted with custom recovery , custom rom and tweaks. I thought i couldn't get ota system updates. I backed my system then installed to see what is was didn't notice anything but then I'm new to this so i may not know what to look for . So i restored my system and got the system update again and left it sitting. Anyone know what it might be? Do i need it or let it be?

First I wouldn't advice taking any OTA's while being rooted or with any modifications. 1) you most definitely will lose root and 2) mods can make your phone go into a bootloop if anything. Should you take the 4.3? It's totally up to you... You can go in here and read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498397 and see it from other users perspective. I myself took the OTA but it was my preference and I have no issues whatsoever...

Fingers Crossed
as usual not installable with cwm.
If u have cwm, thats what i did:
#1 dont do anything, just try to install the update (with cwm)
#2 this will fail, but it reverts to default recovery
#3 install again
#4 finish, now reinstall cwm
Damn, Mine doesn't go into default recovery after Cwm fails to install the update.
There is a an error message which says that firmware is for 'tegranote', which is not compatible with the device which is 'tegratab', has anyone ever seen this error?

Update: 13.3.2.4_user_324002120 able to sustain root AFAIK

I grabbed my kindle this morning to find that it had updated and I had lost root. I'm not sure if my device had restarted but I was able to regain root by running towelroot. HDXposed appears to be functioning again but some of my apps are acting a little jittery after the sudden loss of root. (Fixed by clearing cache)
I don't have much more information atm though.
[Update]: My kindle automatically rebooted shortly after posting the above information. Luckily I didn't lose root afterwards. I had to reinstall google play and google services but everything has been running smooth since.
