[How To] Stop annoying OTA notifiication on 3.1

If you are on 3.1 still like I am, I bet you are getting extremely frustrated when the Update notification keeps popping up (Where is that damn never ask me again button??!!)
Well here is the fix! I do not take responsibility if this breaks your xoom, computer, or your face
First try deleting the zip file out of your /cache/ folder (did not work for me)
Then try replacing your build.prop file with the following
***Please note this has been only tested on Tiamat 1.1 rom running Android 3.1****
Instructions:<
ADB:
Extract build.prop to your ADB folder
ADB Remount (should say successful)
ADB push build.prop system/
ADB Reboot
Using Root Explorer, make system writable
move build.prop and replace exisiting
Reboot.

because the update offers nothing that I don't already have on my rooted and heavily modified version of 3.1.
It takes to long for me to get everything set up just the way I like it, so until an update actually gives us anything worth while, I'm content staying "back" at 3.1, with all the bells& whistles. I can read & write to my sd,overclock, undervolt, read & write to external drives, etc.
What am I missing from 3.2?

-Killed my Swype installation, which was a deal-breaker for me.

I just removed the zip from cache, said instal update then hit cancel when it failed to reboot and haven't had it since
Thanks!

EDIT - nevermind.. duh.. the cache...

For those wanting to stop the OTA nag, I've found that Solarnz's fix (modpack 3) for the Moray ROM works on the stock ROM as well.

The file I posted was only for 3.1 Android systems. I would recommend restoring from a Nandroid backup, but if you do not have one you will need to jump on IRC so one of our genius's can assist you on restoring your original files.

I already applied this and I think it works.. Thank you very much...

[MOD]<<<< AppsBak-Auto Backup >>>>

This mod will backup your apps and auto update the backup on your sdcard at every boot.
Backup apps and data
Flash zip
Open terminal and type su
Then type bak
Follow onscreen instructions
After you do a restore you must reboot or do a hot restart before the apps will show in the menu.
Before installing a new rom just reboot one time to update your backup or do it manually with the script, then after you install your new rom flash this again and restore.
This uses init.d
Now it syncs files instead of using 7zip using rsync. Thanks to dodava for the info and download of rsync it's a much more efficient way to do it.
It also syncs data and settings now but some settings cannot be restored so it excludes those. It keeps your system settings but not accounts like google you have to make those again if you change roms. It does keep app data for installed apps.
Backups are located at /sdcard/appsbak
Please post question/comments/problems here.
If you use this in your rom please leave the creds in the files, Thank You.
Will NOT work with aosp roms sorry...

Awesome, will give it a shot. Thanks!

I tested this for the MT4G before the release, it works great just follow the instructions listed.
Just In Case:
In Terminal Emu type: ( SU # bak )then follow instructions.

It's fixed now...

Not yet, this actually took some time to get this working on the MT4G from the Evo 3D do to the fact he doesn't have the phone but there will be more added in the near future. This does a great job at updating the zip for newer versions of apps installed and clears what you delete apon reboot, the good thing about it is holding on to what you actually use without fear of losing apps say something happens with the device.

Good job

I will be adding apps data and account info to it. Just have to do some testing, and make sure it all works properly. I will be switching to rsync as well instead of 7zip. Right now i can backup all of the data in /data/data which has all your settings and app data may be good enough to restore i'll try and see.

[Q] build.prop edits

Hopefully just a quick and dirty question. I used esfile's note editor to edit the wifi scan interval on my build prop and it somehow caused AOKP to fail to boot. I fixed the issue and am running fine now, but can anyone recommend a safe way to edit the build prop while actually on Android?

I've used Rom Toolbox Pro to change my scan frequency without any issue. I have not tried on AOKP though.

I'm sure that it had something to do with the editor I was using. In the past, I would copy to internal, edit on PC, then push back to system. Esfile probably muffed up the formatting because when I rebooted, I got constant black screen after Samsung logo. A quick Odin of EL29 with cwm and a reflash of AOKP and all is well. But, I'd still like to be able to manually edit build prop on the device.
I was under the belief that ROM toolbox was a no no on the e4gt, especially ICS.

ROM toolbox mostly ok. ROM manager not ok
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

As stated above it ROM Manager that will not work with this phone on GB or ICS. Using it to load CWM on your phone can brick your phone. Rom Toolbox hasn't bricked a phone to my knowledge. It has caused bootloops when changing boot animation and fonts through it on ICS though. I haven't had any issues with changing build props on ICS though, but again I have not tried it on AOKP/AOSP/CM9 ROMs.
Sent on HyDrA using Tapatalk

ROM toolbox worked well, thank you. Also, I guess the best benefit from this thread is clarification between ROM toolbox and ROM manager. Much appreciated!

Can anyone enlighten me as to why ROM Toolbox is the only thing that seems to work? I to have tried the ES File Explorer method, which worked perfect on my Evo 3D, but on E4GT it sticks at Samsung boot screen. I then booted into recovery, did adb pull, edited file on PC, and adb push back to phone. After rebooting I checked build.prop and it did not reflect the changes, just default settings (and yes I made sure to save the changes before pushing).
I unfortunately have only had the phone a week and it was shipped with FF18, so not sure what behavior was like before update. Pre-ICS, were you able to make manual edits to build.prop without issues?

Did you try wiki rootzbox? But unfortunately it's a paid app. You can ask first about your device compatibility from the dev before you buy it. Afterall it's created by Aokp rom dev.
Sent from my GT-I9100G running on codeworkx's CM10

I went ahead and got ROM Toolbox and it did work, I'm just curious as to why it works but a manual edit does not.

Think i may have forgot it the first time, which may be why I booted back in with default values. But then again it did say adb push was completed. The second time i tried adb and made sure to remount first it resulted in stuck at boot again. Since ROM toolbox worked it's not a big deal anymore, but curiosity is still eating at me...

{Script} CPU1 disabler while in sleep!!! The Battery Saver Mod!

Script Version!
Code:
This time I present to you a script that will in theory (and so far for me, in reality) save us some battery without having to risk our hardware with undervolting! I present to you...
[B]CPU Sleeper[/B]
[QUOTE]Honestly the Script can be made to work with any Dual Core / Quad Core! The Only Problem is you need to be Rooted!
~ Currently the issue with CM9, is that the boot becomes incomplete while in init.d folder without Modification to the sysinit..
~ however, with any rooted device you can download the script & continue to use it via a script manager app on every boot.
~ With the Script Manager App, this script virtually can run on any Multi-Processor CPU
Hope that clears things Up,
~~Eugene[/QUOTE]
[U]What is it?[/U]
Its a fairly simple script that will put CPU 1 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1 back ONLINE.
[U]How does it work?[/U]
Since we have dual core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1, core 1 and core 2, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active, this script will make sure CPU 1 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
[B][COLOR="red"]WARNING! READ THIS![/COLOR][/B]
This script relies on init.d OR script manager! CM9, for some reason, tends to run this at the exact same time it runs some other script (I forget atm which) and it will clash, causing no boot! CM9 users MUST use the script manager version install! Flex Reaper appears to work fine with it as init.d. I strongly urge you to use the script manager version of this, NOT the flashable version. Always make a nandroid backup before modifying the system, including this!
[U][COLOR="Red"]Instructions[/COLOR][/U]
Available in 2 versions, script only version which you can place wherever you want and run however you want, or a CWM/TWRP flashable zip that will place the file for you in /system/etc/init.d and set permissions.
[I]Version 1: Flashable[/I]
Same as any of my flashable releases, I did most of the work for you!
Make a full backup
Download to external SD card
Install from SD card
Pick the cpu sleeper zip file
it'll be almost instant
reboot
Shouldn't be any need to clear caches or anything like that.
[I]Version 2: Script only[/I]
This can be run in 2 ways, via init.d support, or via script manager. Both are pretty similar, and can be done a number of ways, however this is the basis of how.
[U]Init.d supported kernel:[/U]
Make a backup!
Download the script file, making sure no extensions get added onto the file. Copy the file to /system/etc/init.d and set the permissions to the following:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, reboot the system, and it will take effect when your system is finished rebooting.
[U]Script Manager[/U]
This method is probably the better method, and should work with any kernel/ROM. Download the script file, making sure no file extensions get added, and copy it to /system/etc. Set the file permissions to:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, load up script manager, select browse as root (if it isn't already set from the crossix mod method in the guide) then browse to /system/etc and select the script file S98cpu_sleep, then select ROOT and BOOT options. After this is set, reboot system.
[U]What do I do if I can't boot after using this?[/U]
You made that backup, right? Ok, then here is what you do.
Hold the power button until the tablet powers off
Press and hold the volume down button, next to the screen lock switch
Press and hold Power (while holding volume down)
Once the recover kernel message comes up, release the buttons
In CWM go to advanced, mounts, mount system, then format system
In TWRP, go to wipe, then wipe system
In CWM go to restore, advanced restore, restore ONLY system
In TWRP select restore, then uncheck all so ONLY system is checked
After restoring system, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot system.
System should boot normally.

[B][COLOR="Blue"]How does it work?[/COLOR][/B]
Since we have Dual & Quad core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1/2/3, core 0/1/2/3, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active "CPU0", this App will make sure CPU 1/2/3 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.

As a begging dev myself, I appreciate your work. Keep on keeping on.

Not sure why previous thread was closed, as no reason was given, but the flashable works FINE on my phone. I had no issues whatsoever. If everyone were to follow the instructions listed they would see that they are advised to make a backup IN CASE something does go wrong and it won't boot. Major props for this man. Just curious, but I noticed that after flashing this it seems that when the screen is off the phone downclocks to 384k KHz. I do have a profile on SETCPU for when screen is off to downclock to 594k KHz. I'm assuming that this script is what is downclocking this below the minimum i had set in SETCPU?

[Q] How do I disable OTA notifications?

I am running Note Cards 1.1 and I get an OTA update notification every few minutes and it is driving me nuts! Does anybody know how to disable update notifications on the Galaxy Note II?

Anybody?

Why does a custom ROM not remove this? Just goes to show that a little bit of knowledge about developing can be dangerous and a stock ROM with build.prop tweaks shouldn't even be posted...
That said, delete /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and reboot.

On the gs3 we just ran the update as it wouldnt go through, then reboot the phone as it would take you to recovery. after that it wouldnt prompt you any more.

Its simple root your device and you are done.you will not get ota notification as ota is disabled when device is rooted.
And even this doesn't works then root device,download app called link2sd or Rom toolbox and freeze software update app.it will work for sure.

First off you need a file manager that allows root access, make sure you allow those folders to be accessed "in the settings menu of that manager." It is a file from your device if you are getting the notification.

Delete the file viperboy said, and delete the update file in /cache (if it's there). Then accept the update...the reboot timer will start but nothing will happen. Press the home button and never look back. Worked for me.

aah, this worked prefect, though, am looking forward to being up to date with Samsung along with the tweaks from ForceROM :thumbup:

I deleted OTAcerts.zip, cleared my cache, and rebooted. I still have that damned update notification. If I try to run it it just says "no firmware". I'm running the stock ROM with Perseus kernal. I am on AT&T, I'm not sure if that would account for the difference or not.

I just received the update and nothing has happened. I no longer getting update notification

Why does a custom ROM not remove this? Just goes to show that a little bit of knowledge about developing can be dangerous and a stock ROM with build.prop tweaks shouldn't even be posted...
That said, delete /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and reboot.

Update for a sure way without deleting files rooted device.
use a folder explorer like Root Explorer:
[QRCODE]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en[/QRCODE]
Navigate to:
/system/app: change fwupgrade.apk to fwupgrade.old and keychain.pak to keychain.old
/system/etc/security: change otacerts.zip to otacerts.old
Now reboot to recovery mode and wipe cache. Reboot system to GUI. If update appears, accept install. Countdown will appear but nothing will be installed.
The update notification will no longer appear. :good:
