Stop ec05 update popup

I tryed to search. But I can't find any thing about stoping the ec05 update popup. My friends Epic is rooted/moded and iam not going to put a rom on his phone right now. As 4 my Epic. I just want to stop the popup also and wait for a ec05 rom some time in the next few weeks or so.
Any ideas about stoping the install update popup?

Yes, you can use an app like AutoStarts or Titanium Backup to freeze the SystemUpdater.apk
This will prevent the pop-ups. Or you can just uninstall the SystemUpdater.apk altogether.

O ya thanks man I should have thougt of that

I too have this problem. I get the annoying "install update" pop up like 20x a day on my epic running rooted EB13. I'd love to stop it so I used titanium backup to freeze "system updater" but it does not stop the popups! So I think the solution suggested above doesn't work for me.
(It does make the phone crash back to the launcher if I press "settings - about phone - check for updates" though.
So, any other ideas? I'd flash a new ROM but I'm too lazy to restore all my apps and data. I'm waiting for a stable gingerbread ROM instead.
(Side note: new users can't post more than once every 5min on XDA. That's understandable, but frustrating that it applies to *editing* one's posts too...as I'm sitting here with typos I can't fix for another 4minutes. Oh well)

Alas, that was the first thing I tried. No such luck. It attempts to install....fails, I reboot. And then get the message again within minutes. I also tried deleting the update.zip file which was at the root of the SD card. This is maddening... sometimes it till pop up every 5 minutes (though it sometimes leaves me alone for hours too)
Other ideas?

Ahhh, not a bad idea. I guess I could just flash *that* and keep all my setting/apps huh? I've never flashed anything other than a complete ROM (via clockwork). Honestly, as a newb, I'm not sure how to do that. I shall commence to Googling (unless you can point me to how?) That is, sir.

If u go to midnight rom and got o his blog (there's a link in the op) go to android development and there's a flashable zip for modem update. I think its called di18/eb13to ec05modem.zip. if u can't find it ill get to my computer and upload it for u

I found it and flashed successfully. Thanks! Unfortunately, I was promptly greeted with a notification to install the system update again upon reboot. So, yay, I have a new modem... but this hasn't resolved the issue.
Any other ideas? Thanks again.

Huh that's strange I don't know then. Sorry bud. Only other thing is to odin to ec05 completly.
Edit: what u can do is do a back up go into the development section look for rerfs. What that will do is flash u back to a stock ec05 rom with cwm2.x.x.x then u boot up then u can flas cwm3.0.0.6 boot back up power down. Then boot into cwm let it reconvert to ext4 then do a restore of ur curent set up. And make sure u flash a kernel afther that and ur good to go.

You lost me with those later Instructions. My understanding is if I do a nandroid restore, I would wipe out my upgrade in the first place. To be clear...I did a nandroid backup of my now hybrid EB13 w/ EC05 modem system. If I then ODIN'd to full stock EC05 I would have to wipe my system of apps and data right? Then if I tried to restore the nandroid backup, it would undo what I ODIN'd and restore my eb13/ec05 hybrid setup yes?
In any case, back to the original issue, just for fun I tried to use CWM to install the update.zip the popup notification said it had downloaded (which I'd manually removed via astro file manager). This triggered a file not found error and it automatically wiped the dalvik-cache (whatever that is). I rebooted and... no upgrade message! (At least not for 15 minutes). Maybe that worked?

It appears to be fixed as I haven't gotten the pop-up all day long! I'm not sure which action resolved it (or perhaps both)
1. Flashed modem from EB13 to EC05
2. Attempted to install update from a .zip that I'd removed in CWM which triggered erasing the dalvik cache.
Anyway, now dispensing thanks for your help!

[Q] Please Help!!!

Okay well today I flashed MIUI 1.6.10 Both OsiMood's and MIUI.us. I was messing around and I noticed Theme Manager wasn't working. The stock theme that came with MIUI 1.6.10 was horribly ugly, and thought I why not flash back to MIUI 1.5.20. So I did and I flashed without wiping like I normally do when a MIUI Rom comes out. I then noticed Theme manager wasn't working on that version either so I restored my backup that I created before I flashed over from 1.6.10 to 1.5.20 and now my phone won't read the apps on my SDcard. Please help me I don't want to do any super wipes or anything and lose my app datas. All the apps show up on the home screen but they don't have the original images and when I click them they say "Application not installed on your phone." How would I get the rom to read the apks off my sdcard that I previously installed or how can I fix this. Any suggestions would help. Thanks ahead :'(

Wow dude really... I know if that was me I would be freaking out its an expensive phone and some of us don't have the luxury to just buy another one . But to OP just try Superwipe and if that doesn't work maybe your sd card fried but I doubt that but just to make sure see if your computer can r/w to the sd card..
Edit: when you use superwipe it doesn't wipe the data from your SD card so all your apps you backed with titanium backup will still be there? Their? They're? I'm pretty sure is there... there..

Backing up contacts? Those should be with google good friend. If you're saving them to the phone instead of through Google, well, I don't know why you would do that.
Did you use Titanium Backup at all? That will probably help with apps and their corresponding data. And no, there is no way to get back to your old nandroid without a PC. You HAVE to use Odin to go back to EC05 and from there, after you one-click root, you should be able to restore your nandroid assuming you're still using the same version of CWM you made the backup with.

If you are using the EpicMTD CM 7.2.0 RC0 Rom, I had the same problem. You need to go here

Scroll down till you see GAPPS and download that zip file and flash it in CWM.

[Q] Phone Won't Remember Default Apps

Hello. When I am opening files or links it will ask me what app I would like to use, and even though I select "Always" afterwards it still prompts me again the next time I try the same action. Now I just hit "Just Once" in order to avoid that annoying "Clear defaults" message (Yes phone, I know where to clear defaults, you've told me a thousand times...). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What Rom? Rooted or not?
Did you try the usual, turn it off and pull the battery, clean the odex left over files. ..etc?
Maybe some tweaks you did or a roque app you installed?
More information would be helpful.

Hello. It is rooted, but I'm pretty sure that this issue predates the rooting. I did it with a one click solution from here so I'm not sure what the rom is called. The screen shot attached should give you that info. Also, not sure what you mean by "clean the odex left over files". Thanks.

It is up to you which one you want.
It looks to me that you didn't do this before, so my advice is to read, read, read and when you think you understand it READ everything all over again. We don't want you to brick your phone.
Go to Original Development section and learn how to flash Roms.
Good luck.

I've rooted and flashed roms before on my previous two LG phones and my tablet, I've just haven't seen them labeled like that before (Factory Image, Odexed , Deodexed, Kernel, Modem). My question is: Which is the best/easiest one to use for a newb like me (or a link to good thread that explains the difference)? Thanks.

I've been having the same issue.
T mobile note 2
Latest at&t Bean stalk Rom
Latest Devil kernel
No system apps are restored with tb
Basically no apps retain default settings
Examples
Facebook: does not retain dolphin as default browser
Handcent: does not retain quickpic as default gallery
This happens even if phone is not shut off. I can set them as default apps and at some point in the day they lose the setting. Happens whether clean install or dirty flash. Any ideas? If more info needed please advise.

I should add that some of my defaults work fine. I use different text editors to work on files from different apps and never have any issues with those. It seems to be mostly browsing issues on my phone.

In-App Purchase problem

Anyone Having trouble with in-app purchasing specially on viper or google apps?
Recently after updating to 4.4.2 iam having problem with it and sometimes iam getting "your device does not support in app purchases"
Which is wierd! anyone had this issue before?

Yes iam using LiquidSmooth Rom,also tried other roms and it has the same problem for some reason,is there any option to enable it or its from ROM or Build itself?

Or it could be a very simple explaination that the App either is not updated to Kitkat or does not like rooted devices.

In app manager, try clearing data on all Google apps, most importantly, play store, gms, gsf, gmail and any others you think might be closely tied to them. Reboot and reset up. If that doesn't work, try again but also uninstall updates. Reboot and give it time to auto update them again.

Check in your build.prop to make sure your device model is correctly entered. Its just a guess but is what I plan to try first when I get a chance to look into it in my rom.

Best I can think of is to nandroid, odin back to stock with latest firmware, then flash your rom clean and try it that way. If it still doesnt work try again on stock touchwiz. This way youll know if its something wrong with your account, or something wrong with your rom and data. Also, from your computer, manually log out of any google services.
Restoring the nandroid data backup will likely cause it to happen again. Mine started working again on its own, so im not sure what the cause was...
