Hello all,
Bit of a newb question here, but this is the first time I've messed with rooting my N4, and it's been quite a while since I've done this.
I'm running my N4 rooted but non-rom'd with some custom tweaks thanks to the Xposed installer. However since I did this, I can't update the phone, so I'd like to freeze the OTA update. I know to use TiBu, but can't seem to figure out what I need to freeze. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Google service framework would stop OTA but unsure if it would stop anything else important. Could always freeze and see.

Don't freeze the update, there's valuable stuff in there they will benefit your phone.
Just deselect the module in xposed, flash the update and reselect.

I also use sms backup+ which doesn't work on anything higher than 4.4.0
I think there is an app (or maybe xposed module) that stops the ota from being downloaded I'll try to remember what it's called

How do I stop the 4.2 ota? I been reading a lot of bad news about it and no support for stickmount app which I use a lot. I already checked with titanium backup but I can't find the right app to freeze in order to stop firmware updates. Anyone know how to do it?

I really don't want to wipe all my data and I want to keep it just stock. I mess around with my gs3 enough I want to leave my nexus 7 stock rooted. I use stickmount on a daily basis so I'm not going to 4.2 until it is compatible

i would like to know how to disable the notification as well.. tia..
Root your nexus and disable ota.
I recommend using wugs toolkit to root since it is so easy
And 'Gemini app manager' or 'Root app delete' ('disable' or 'block' ota, just dont 'uninstall'.
thx for the advice.. i was given another solution which i prefer a bit more..

I followed this guide. It took about 3 minutes and it works. To get updates back I assume just delete the apk from /system/app right/?

Hi, madi32...
Specifically, what do you want to integrate into system?
If you're not rooted, modifying /system isn't possible anyway.
Your post is a little unclear; could you be a little more precise with regard to your question.
Rgrds,
Ged.
As I said I just want to integrate the update of Google apps like YouTube gmail chrome browser only the apps provided from Google well I experience it before with root but it have many problems that's why I reinstall the original firmware

Still scratching my head trying to understand what you're attempting to do.
The apps you mention... updates to YouTube, Gmail and Chrome... will all work perfectly fine without being integrated into /system.
Indeed, given the frequency of updates of these apps, it would be a nuisance, if you had to modify /system to install them.
Android is designed in such a way that Google updates pre-installed apps by placing them in /data/app... and can be uninstalled in SETTINGS>APPS>ALL>YouTube/Gmail/Chrome>UNINSTALL UPDATES... which would leave you with the factory installed version in /system/app.
All of which, though interesting, is moot... if, as you say in you're previous post, you're not rooted.
There's not much you can do without root.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Thanks for help but I don't like to root it again cause that will another nightmares for me
Thank you anyway

From what I understand it is the process that filters apps that don't work for your phone. However, I've ran carat and it says I need to restart or kill it to obtain 5 hours of battery life. Can I disable it or what can I do? I am running stock rom, not rooted, completely stock. Thanks so much!

Don't know if you're still having this issue a month later.
Based on what you read, you can just disable it. You don't need a filter installer or a method of filter apps for your device. When you attempt to install apps for your device, the play store will let you know before installing that the app is compatible with your device.

Hi guys, are you sure that is the case? That the market app will check? I know it scans for malicious apps now in 2017/18, but what if you install an app on beta from dev's web site?? Durant the Filter Installer then kick in???

I would just go to the thread in the Original Development section on this forum, follow the direct link and download the latest nightly - I have experience with other devices but, after die research on here, bought my S4 this evening and had CM running ten minutes after I got home. You can do it too!

Now as far as any OTA updates i want/need, what is the protocol in getting them?
You can't get them on a custom rom
I forget what I read on a custom recovery and rooted--getting older--
I think you need to go back to stock--someone can confirm
I haven't Googled that yet either
There were some rootkeeper apps that were used on my other phones, don't know what works here
I never took OTA's after rooted and flashing my other phones as dev's seemed to have updates faster than my carrier

Generally, the newer firmware versions that get pushed out as OTA updates will be incorporated into custom Touchwiz roms, such as ShoStock and Mint Jelly. However, if you flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based rom such as SlimBean or AOKP, OTA updates will be completely meaningless. It's a different world altogether.
Either way, my advice is the same: Don't mess with OTA's. At best, they could give you the same features as a custom rom. At worst, they could kill the Loki exploit and lock your bootloader for good.
I read that the ATT GS4 was getting a new update (http://www.androidauthority.com/update-rolling-out-for-atts-galaxy-s4-241248/) but I still havent gotten it. Any body else not getting it? When will I get it?

If you really want it, install Kies on your pc, connect your phone and pc via USB and let it patch it. Like was said above, it will unroot your phone... however, if you're not rooted, no worries.

Hey there guys, I'm relatively new to all this rooting and such. I have a rooted ATT s4. I have titanium backup (I just don't know too much about Roms, flashing, and custom recoveries). Anyway, as I saw the update, I went and started the update. Meanwhile updating, I came across a page saying it broke root...it kept updating though so I frantically thought of things I could do to stop it and simply used titanium backup to freeze the att updater app. If I unfreeze it, it will resume downloading from where it left off. I have downloaded folder mount, set CPU, and I don't think I've flashed anything...I don't even know what it means...but yeah, I really envy the better quality of the photo taking and HDR recording as well as the better memory usage and lag removed with the update...is there a way to keep root and have the updated firmware...keep in mind I'm still a noon so please use non geeky terms...thanks and any help is appreciated...(is there a way to cancel the ATT update progress so I don't have to keep the app frozen through titanium backup?) Thanks again

here is geek terms for you, you should have read in the many threads about this, you are now stuck on the update, no going back, there is a root method in the works right now, maybe released already, keep searching the general thread, there is something on the root. Sorry, but giving it to you straight, don't take it wrong. Always READ before you even look at doing something to your phone, I CAN NOT STRESS how important that is.
Good luck.
Thanks you.
Well, i figure you mean no harm, but your style of writing killed a part of me... My phone is still rooted though, as I said. Furthermore, it ISNT updated. I froze the updater before it fully processed. Thanks
