I'm not sure which messages app I am supposed to set as default to get RCS enabled. Neither one say Google anywhere, and all I have to differentiate the two are the icons. Can anyone tell me which one is "official" from Google so I can try to get RCS working?

The blue icon one is the google one.
Thanks mate. Any idea how to uninstall the update on that app?

Google Message is a user app, not a system one you uninstall it but can't donwgrade. To downgrade it's more complicated your must uninstall completely and download a previous version on Apkmirror for example, but I don't see the point of downgrading.

I am using the latest market (3.0.something, i believe).
It will not stop notifying me to update applications.
I do not want to update these applications.
There is no option to disable notifications like in the old market
I can also not find market autoupdate bulk toggle in the market
I would like to disable these notifications. How would I do so ?
I would like to know this as well. It keeps reminding me to update facebook but I dont like the new version and refuse to update to it.
i dont think there is a way of disabling the notification, you would just have to ignore it unfortunately !
@dkyle. whats wrong with the latest update of Facebook ? mines working fine !

batch toggle of Market autoupdates can be done with Titanium Backup - definitely in Pro verison, not sure about free - just go to Menu / More / Market Autoupdates
You can always use tasker so you never have to see the notifications
From something awesome
the older one... free i guess....
menu/settings/..booom....!

I just don't like the looks of it compared to the one before it. It seemed to work alright on mine but I don't like the way it looks like the mobile site now.

anyone ? Can't find anything else on the internet about this.
If you are running Market version 2.3.6 or under, the notifications can be disabled via Market --> Settings --> Notifications --> "Do not notify me".
I'm not sure about Market versions higher than this, as I do not want to deal with the latest market version layout. So you could roll-back or just re-sign the Facebook apk or whatever apk you don't want updated (Signapktic is a android app that would do this easy for you) and re-install it (you must uninstall the original before the resigned will install). The re-signed app won't show up in the market then.
The last option (again, tested on 2.3.6 and lower) is to manually edit the Market database file, under "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db". All your installed apps will be listed under the "assests 10" table and you can remove them from there and push it back to your phone. The Facebook app or what app you delete from that file will not show up as installed in the Market anymore. The database will be regenerated whenever you clear the Market cache though.
Hope this helps,
-Mike
EDIT: Sorry for the redundancy, just re-read your post and saw that you are running the latest market and already looked at the settings. One of my other two options should fix the problem for ya though.
I don't want 4.2.2, my phone has it downloaded but not installed. How do I delete the update and/or disable the notification? I've searched and tried options for other phones but nothing has worked except what I did below.
I found that if I freeze "Google framework services" it does what I want, but it also disables all google services (play store,etc) is there another way around this?
OTA disable solved

SOLVED(temp?):
Downloaded an App called "autostarts",
go into the tab called "after startup"
scroll down to you see multiple "google framework services"
for me it was the 3rd one, should say "xxxx--xxxx-xxx-systemupdateservice" or something like that
disable it, clear cache and reboot.
May I ask why you'd want to disable the OTA updates?
Just curious...

Count me in on this - spent a while this morning trying to find any info on others trying to disable this update (I just got the notification this morning). I'm stock rooted and perfectly happy with my N4 as is. I wish there was a way to just cancel the notification or have it not remind you for a while. It's obnoxious that they cram it in your face.
I wasnt entirely sure of where exactly i should put this, the dev board would probably be a better choice, but i digress.
Uninstalling the Chrome app through Titanium Backup(and im sure through any other method) causes some apps such as kik messenger and snapchat to be ENTIRELY unusable. They will instantly crash upon opening conversations. I am unsure as to why this happens but i figured it would be useful information for someone else eventually.
EDIT: Doing this also causes battery to go from 100% to 0 in about four hours
Can I ask why uninstall chrome then? Just don't use it or hide it from your app drawer. A lot easier than trying to figure out the issues caused by removing it. It would be the same thing

Well i just didnt want it on my system and i didnt know about the issue beforehand and ive never seen that happen before. Figuring it out actually happened because i thought it was caused by something else after i flashed stock and fixed it.
You need to enable Android/Google WebView (I can't remember the name) in the app settings/play store and go into the developer settings and set the WebView to the new one you enabled. I sadly learned this the hard way like you.

One of my friends talked about how most apps use chrome for webview n i was wondering if there was a way to replace it thanks

That's weird. Is it greyed out in the play store too or just in settings? If it is try going into Titanium Backup and unfreeze(?) it there. If that doesn't work uninstall it like you did with chrome and download it from the play store.

Huh it was low level frozen on the system, defrost through titanium backup doesn't seem to do anything which now raises the question: how and why is that done?
Gonna try uninstalling it and installing through play again.

Play store said Enable(the button was seemingly unresponsive until i clicked it abt 15 times in a row) clicking it causes a 44mb download then it says install which causes a 44mb download and changes it back to a completely unresponsive enable. switching over to settings now only shows a greyed out uninstall and force stop
You're free to do what you want of course, but ripping one of the central tie points out a Google phone is not what I wold call a good idea. Easy to run a different browser if that's your preference without destroying the integrity of the base software.

Before finding this problem it was unknown to me and im sure several others that chrome was an integral part of the rom.The point of this thread was really to find out what this is and if there is a way around it. its for experimentation purposes as it is honestly incredibly easy to fix, ive done it 4 times.
Not sure why you're having trouble. I uninstalled Chrome with Titanium Backup and after rebooting AOSP WebView was unfrozen and active automatically.

You can try to follow such steps:
Open Task Manager. Find Google Chrome in it.
Click on Chrome and look through the pull-down menu. Verify that all the processes are chosen.
Right-click on Google Chrome and choose the option “End Task”.
Check the “Processes tab" and make sure that there are no leftover processes. If there are any, you need to stop them by right-clicking on them and choosing the option “End task”.
Close Task Manager.
Open a “Run window”. To do this, you need to press “Windows Key+R”.
You need to type here “appwiz.cpl” and press Enter. You’ll open “Program and Features”.
Here, you need to scroll down the list and choose Google Chrome.
Right-click on it and press “Uninstall”.
Also, you can check this link rocketfiles.comto read more options

Sorry... Wasnt trying to be sarcastic. Theres no way to block google updates like that because that would interfere will All of the google services on your phone.
@rocketman122
Tbf your OP is quite off-handed. You should be grateful you received any advice.
I read it and thought sod that.
Try and have a nice cheerful day.
go and freeze the google play service etc, but this will also stop google play features and google account stuff. Good luck!
Simply disabling Chrome screwed up my phone, f/c's everywhere.
I'm actually finding not having root to be much more of a pain than I was expecting.
Google Play Services is what made the icon change. As stated above, you can't do anything about that without blocking access to Google Apps.

i understand this is because my rom is not official? though im not sure of it, because i remember it is official...
anyways, how do i make this message disappear? it shows all the time
thanks
Press the notification for a few seconds and then hide it or disable it
