I'm on slimkat 4.4.2, I know there's an update to slimkat, from build 4 to build 5... But I'm getting an official KitKat system update notification, as if I was on pure AOSP. I've never had this happen on a custom ROM... Is there any good ways to kill the notification?
Do you mean that you get the slim update notification?

I do, but that's no biggie, I can disable that. I'm getting the Android system update notification... The one you'd get on the stock ROM.

I don't want to update cause i am on a custome rom is there anyway of disabling the notifiaction?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Is the notification for a update to the rom your running or system update? If rom updated them turn the notification feature off in rom manager settings. If system update then update rom or just build prop to current rom and this will get rid of the system update
I ran a few searched but none provided me with the answer - sorry if it's been covered.
I am on pure stock right now (JDQ39 - 4.2.2) and getting the constant prompt to update to 4.3
For reasons too long to get into here I absolutely do not want to install 4.3
I do however want to turn off the OTA update prompt and have found several ways of doing that - the simplest and easiest way is using Autorun manager to disable the updater in part of the Google Services Framework apk, however I need to have root to do that.
I can root the phone, and keep everything else stock including the recovery, and then disable OTA updates for 4.3
My question is this:
If I do this, but am interested in installing Kit Kat OTA if it's released next week, is it as simple as re-enabling the updater using the reverse procedure in Autorun manager and then I should see the update for 4.4 Kit Kat?
Or will the system still want to update to OTA 4.3 before then giving me another update for 4.4? I refuse point blank to every have 4.3 on my phone, again I have a long list of valid reasons why I want to avoid 4.3 like the plague.
If so, my only option then would be to wait until someone posts a stock rooted version of 4.4 and then flash using the Nexus Toolkit in fastboot mode?
Appreciate any replies.
Thanks.

It would appear from other threads on this subject and various other sites, that you'll have to wait for the 4.4 images from Google if you don't want to first upgrade to 4.3. From what I gather researching the same question, to do the OTA to 4.4, you'd first have to accept the 4.3 upgrade, then the 4.3.1 upgrade and finally the 4.4.
That seems odd that you won't let it even touch your device. You should be able to update directly to the latest version, no need to do each update in between.

4.3 was a horrible alpha release IMO, creating many issues.
I'm rocking slim 4.2.2 build 8 until kit Kat hits.
I've been ignoring the 4.3 update prompt, it will never see my phone.
With 4.4 rumored to release tomorrow, if I reboot my phone, will I instead see the 4.4 update prompt? Will I be able to tell if it's 4.3 or 4.4?
I hope I don't have to have a 4.3 phone to get the 4.4 update?
If so, I hope a factory link will pop up soon to flash through stock recovery using fastboot in nexus 4 toolkit.
Thanks.
I don't think it will release tommorow or this week anyway..
But as I know from Galaxy's devices you should update to the version before the new one...then you'll get the new version update.
I guess someone will export it as soon as it goes out and you could flash it stright..
many of the ota updates arent full rom updates, but partial roms. because of this, you would need 4.3. even if someone posts a link to the ota file, if its not a full rom, you would hve to update it over 4.3.
Its not going to come tomorrow it's probably just being announced

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME QUESTION AND GOOGLE IS NOT ANSWERING ME YET.
Please if anybody knows answer!
Will we receive the 4.4 OTA on a 4.2.2 running Nexus 4?
Updates are incremental, there's a reason to keep our phones up to date in order to receive OTA's

If you go to general forum there's a thread with the factory firmware image.
You can use adb fastboot to install it from your stock factory recovery (I'm assuming your phone is unrooted etc).
This will give you a completely new phone with official kit Kat. I just did it with mine.
Then install the new Google Now and GEL launcher apks and your phone will look exactly like the N5.
Just wondering who is planning to go back to stock for KitKat?
When is the release date? the 28th or is it a rumor
I am. Of course the factory images will probably be released before OTA so I will flash them instead

No one knows for sure = rumor
I am
I'm on PA now, but will probably go back to stock when 4.4 arrives. As I heard over at ParanoidAndroid Community on G+ on 4.4 they're going to make it all over again, so it's going to take time.
Waited for PA 4.3, not going to wait again for 4.4
I am currently back on stock in anticipation of that sweet chocolatey crunch.
I can use AOSP or stock as long as Xposed Framework is working for it too.
After what happened with 4.3 update -_- I am going to wait for couple days before jumping to Kit Kat. Probably will wait for PA Kit Kat rom.

I literally just flashed back to stock today. However, I am considering flashing another rom because I keep losing data on stock. I can always flash the system image for KitKat when it's released.

I m already on stock. Will I get the OTA if iam on a rooted stock ROM?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium App
I'll go back to stock just to have the vanilla experience for awhile before jumping on a rom.
always been on stock rom rooted and twrp installed phone always takes ota updates just fine ......never seen any point flashing custom rom on this phone as phone is pretty cool as is ...only issue i have with the nexus 4 is that they knocked 100 off price 3 weeks after i purchased haha but love this phone
Will probably flash back to stock and then restore my current ROM as a second rom.
I will flash factory images and start all over with a fresh new phone. Hopefully it still has root. I wanna stick with stock for awhile now sick of various bugs here and there. For example, on cm my GPS takes hours to lock and even when it locks it isn't precise but on PA, GPS works just fine. The phone also lags here and there like when I initially turn it on from sleep and try to unlock or pull notification bar down. For me stock has always been faster than custom ROMs even though they have some really useful features

I just got a new nexus 7 2013. So I left that stock and lucky me on my Nexus 4 started getting base band unknown on anything but stock JWR rooted. So clean wiped and flashed stock. I had a Neo kernel system folder with scripts I couldn't delete. Feel much better now, couldn't say if I had ever clean wiped since getting the phone.

I will flash factory images.. I don't want to wait the OTA..
Already stock except for the kernel. Just a quick 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' of the stock 4.3 kernel and I'll be all set for OTA or Factory Images (though Factory Images would mean I don't even need to waste time reflashing stock 4.3 kernel.)
Probably going to use default stock launcher for awhile depending on the changes instead of Smart Launcher. Really like the rumors/previews we've seen of it so far. Especially since I am so embedded with Google Now. The left panel swipe would be awesome I think.

I'm currently running GE international edition android 4.3 ROM by Jamal on my att gs4 and I got this notification today. Should I update it or not?
Out won't work, you have the same phone just custom Google edition software running on it. You don't have a Google edition device.

Better wait untill fixed 4.4 GE comes out.This one has too much problems atm.
Random reboot, Security settings don't work, camera flash doesn't work, when you tap android 4.4 the kitkat logo isnt apearing but it gets stuck on the theme wallpaper etc..

Yeah that's always the way. It just highlights that the i9505 and the i9505 are indeed different devices, despite appearing to be exactly the same. I'd say give it a little while, most of the issues are kernel related. The 4.3 GE rom untouched is a pleasure to use, but it took some work from the devs to get it going. I'd imagine once they get it runing it'l be awesome. While I'm excited to get it running, patiene is the key!
