[Q] How can I block Android 5 OTA and remove notification - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently running rooted stock + xposed modules + TWRP. Today, I received a persistent notification "System update available. Android 5.0 System Update". I don't want to update to Lollipop right now. What is the best way to block the update and remove the notification?
I've tried a few things from other threads (other phones, specific ROMs, etc), but none of them have worked.
I assume the OTA would fail anyway with the custom recovery?
Thanks.

Install Gravity Box. Use the 'Ongoing Notifications Blocker' under 'Statusbar tweaks' to block 'Google Play Services'. It has an icon similar to the icon the notification comes with.

this works

Thanks
Thanks for both of the replies. I used the first suggestion since I already had gravity box installed. It worked great.

[Q] Problem with KitKat and Xposed

Hello, I am successfully running rooted KitKat and trying to get the g2 xposed to work. I don't get any errors installing and applying xposed or downloading modules, but when I restart my device it just says that the latest xposed framework is not currently active. Have tried reinstalling the framework and the modules many times to no avail. Anyone else having trouble or a fix?
Bump
It is very annoying having this update as I have gotten used to my menu button on the left and back on the right, as well as 380dpi (can't fix the camera and messaging apps without xposed)

Seems it's a know issue on the Xposed thread. I can confirm it doesn't work for me either and I'm hoping for a fix soon.
the current version of xposed (as of this post) does not work with the LG G2 variation of kitkat. The next version of xposed will. However, the "g2 xposed" module will also have to be updated...
I miss the you tube full screen mode for now and also hate too many notification on the status bar. Rest everything love the Kitkat

[Q] How do I remove the "System Update" notification?

I'm rooted on stock JB (T-Mobile). I recently got the notification for a new system update (KK). I do not want to upgrade until Xposed is functioning and some other bugs are fixed. In the mean time, I cannot swipe away this notification or reboot it away. On other brands, I could go to device manager apps in Titanium, wipe app data, and freeze it. I cannot find a similar app on this phone. Does anyone have any idea how to remove this annoying notification that I accidentally hit multiple times throughout the day? Thanks!
I used app quarantine and it worked just fine for me. Im on a custom rom now so i dont know which apps ive frozen with it but i know that the notification went away eventually.
EDIT: And please use the search function next time because there are already threads about this.

System Settings > Apps > Google Services Framework > Uncheck Show Notifications.
You can use Root Browser or similar and go into the Cache and delete the OTA update too.

Another update for Z3

Another update!
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Softw...mware-update-for-the-Xperia-Z3-and/m-p/980932
Ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage
Added a Sony feature; bringing back the "close-all-button" in the activity menu, so you can easily close all apps at once
Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications
Ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes - and no longer offset by “silent”
Made the necessary fixes to enable the easy movement of content from internal memory to external microSD card (something we saw affecting a few devices)
Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode
Finally a fix for the lockscreen notifications not showing if syncing Exchange with locking code policy!
Already flashed a rooted zip and running flawlessly with Xposed and everyhing
The notifications should have been fixed in 23.1.A.0.726 though, but I never got around to try it(it never appeard in OTA either).
Quick question, if I update using OTA will I loose root and recovery?

No you wont lose root or recovery if you OTA update just make sure you've not deleted any of the pre-installed apps other wise the OTA will fail to install.

im not really bothered about the update, how can i get rid of the notification? cant seem to clear it

Hey, I have the same thing.
I'm rooted and just checked, that I have uninstalled the "small apps" components. Do I need to install them to get rid of this annoying notification or other steps could be taken?
Edit:
I managed to close it with titanium, just hit "backup" on update center. However, before that I changed the setting 'don't update automatically'.
Cheers.

Where did you get the flashable zip? Can you point me to it? I've done all kinds of tweaks like removing system apps, so I can't use the official updater.
Edit: Found one here, haven't tried it yet tho... https://mega.co.nz/#!aZgC3K6A!vB5ZJplEq0Hlk5zgt1rqFYeanrhP_NYXnKfd0sA3xt4
Thanks!

I made my own zip. Glad you find one!
Can you provide the zip
Omnikai has already posted a link to one..
Can I just flash that over what I'm currently using? do I need to wipe anything?! I don't want to lose my application data
I flashed the zip I made myself without loosing anything, just wiped dalvik/cache.
Can you possibly upload the one you made??!
It's a Norwegian/Telenor specific rom, I guess you'd rather have the Nordic Generic from that link
And I don't have the zip available here, and no places to uploads.. Sorry.

If you mean "update service" I tried to backup and it says insufficient storage space even though I have 6gb.
Is it safe to freeze the service? or is there another way
Thanks

"Battery level full" - Any solutions to disabling this notification?

I am running rooted Swift and Fast B170 ROM on one XT and stock B180 on another and have yet to find a way to disable this seemingly system based notification. On my rooted device I tried to install Xposed but ran into a boot loop issue after installing the framework so I am inclined to think that isn't a possible route to a solution. The OS notification center is pretty useless in managing app notifications and the battery notification doesn't seem to be tied to a specific app anyway.
Does anyone have any ideas how to disable the notification?
So I ended up disabling the System UI notifications all together. And that works but I'm pretty sure its going to disable other important notifications controlled by System UI. If anyone has any true solutions let me know.
Xposed can be installed on the Ascend XT. Search for my Xposed thread. I'm using Magisk Systemless Xposed v87.1.
Why not just swipe away the battery full notification. Yes, you've probably killed other things too by disabling SystemUI.

Have you tried using an Xposed module to remove it, I recall using one to do that to remove the same notification on my S4.

Because it's a nuisance, and I've notice with some games that notification (w/sound) will kill all in game sounds until the game is restarted. But that's just my 2¢

yes it can pop up at the most inopportune time and its honestly a useless notification in the bar that is distracting. notifications shouldnt be in the bar that i should ignore.
@mattzeller and like i said before i tried installing Xposed before i believe the regular installer and that went fine but when i installed the framework and rebooted it kept boot looping at the android logo and i had to reflash the Swift and Fast ROM.
I plan on exploring the Xposed install that divineBliss mentioned I just need to backup my current ROM first and then double check all of the steps required. I hope it works. cause it really is a distracting notification.

Using systemless Xposed is a fairly straightforward process. This is the way I got it working on mine since Magisk wouldn't flash because of the modified boot.img and would only modify stock, you don't have to flash the ROM like I did, but I was doing cleanup and reflash anyway.
1. Download all required files and put them on your external SD card.
a. Swift&Fast: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=72258982
b. Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68966662
2. Make sure you have the correct boot.img for the firmware version you are using, can't use B160 boot.img on B170 ROM, it causes wifi problems. I extracted boot.img from @madvane20 's Swift&Fast ROM since that's what I am running.
3. Do all necessary wipes and flash ROM, do NOT reboot yet.
4. Flash extracted boot.img (select img in TWRP to show *.img files) do NOT reboot yet.
5. Flash Magisk (I'm using current/stable)
6. Wipe caches and reboot.
7. Boot your phone, open Magisk Manager and go to Downloads and install Xposed Framework (SDK 23). I got an error here trying to download and install. I fixed it by adding the folder Magiskmanager to internal sdcard.
8. Download and install latest Xposed installer for systemless Xposed. The link for that is in the Magisk module information for Xposed.
9. Reboot (got a kitK Kat? It's gonna be a while) and everything should be working.
Occasionally after a reboot you can't open settings(Xposed issue), just reboot again, should clear that up.

Although I'm sure there's a way via xposed to disable the notification, I haven't found it yet. The xEMUI module has some nice tweaks, but nothing related to that.
Perhaps via appOpsXposed, or via stopReceiverBroadcasts... remove the ability for SystemUI to see the charging related events..?

once i get over pneumonia ill fix my b180 rom. however b180 in general has bad battery drain for me on stock or my rom. will help what i can once i feel better
Have you tried the NotifyClean module in Xposed?
Thanks -n0cturne- for the xEMUI tip. I have been dying to center the clock in EMUI w/o having to use FSBI. FSBI works really well, but slows everything down.

Notifyclean will do what you ask, I have tested it and once I blocked that specific notification, no longer pops up or chimes that the battery is full
Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk
NotifyClean only lets you disable the tray notification, not the pop up dropzone notification. . Unless I'm missing something?

It gets rid of the notification in the notification area and blocks the pop-up that occurs when it's full. Just not the "you just plugged your phone in" pop-up

Disable update notification on OOS 10.0.0

Hi,
I am on OOS 10.0.1 and plan to downgrade to 10.0.0. I know that once i do that, i will get a constant reminder on my notification bar about updating to 10.0.1. Is there a way to disable that message from showing up? I tried blocking or disabling it from android's notification settings on my wife's phone as she is already on 10.0.0, but it says it can't be disabled.
Thanks!

Yes, it's possible, but you'll have to be rooted with Magisk for that. I have a Magisk module that I use myself that spoofs the prop which the system updater reads. The prop is from the latest version of OOS, so the system updater will tell you you're on the latest version and won't have that nagging persistent notification. Let me know if you need it.
Yeah, sound great! I have magisk so this will definitely come in handy. Thanks!

Attached with this post. Install the module, reboot, clear data of the System Update system app from settings, reboot, profit. You may have to check for an update for it to remove that notification (it'll remove it once it detects you're on the latest version).
Thanks, will downgrade this weekend and give it a try!
