Removing annoying system update message-how to!

Working and easy way (at least for me on Rom I'm using) how to remove anoying system update message. This should work on every Rom version. I didn't tested. Phone need to be rooted.
It's stupid but works.
For people who need this info I'll explain how I manage to do it.
This is for people who getting update message and they don't want to update to official 4.1.2 or newer version.
-Download "System tuner" app from Google play store. (green android icon with blue monitor)
-start app and on main screen of app with a lot of icons choose "Tweaks"
-choose "Build" in upper menu list
-about at middle of list find row which saying "ro.build.version.release 4.1.1"
-press pen icon on left side of same row to edit version, just rename 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and press OK
-reboot phone to load again system files edited.
-check for updates and you already will see, system is up to date. last checked time
easy...
-After this I think you can uninstall app if you don't need
After all you done, system won't be updated to new version but will pass system version check, may be it's not perfect solution but this works for me.

Would it work if I don't want to go 4.2 from 4.1.2 ?

Status/Notification bar is no longer visible

I attempted to flash a .zip patch to remove the QSlide Apps part of the notification drop-down menu, and since then I've been getting constant messages of "System UI has stopped" and the status bar does not show at all. Tried a factory reset on the phone itself but to no avail. Going to attempt to flash system stock ROM from a .zip ... any other suggestions / advice???
Thanks in advance

Why do you guys keep flashing things without making a backup first?! Unfortunately there is no other way for you to get back to working order; you have to LGPST back to stock. Next time make a backup if you're going to flash ANYTHING.

I had something simpler happen with exposed framework, my status bar would disappear then I would get an error "system UI has stopped" . Just un installed all modules and removed exposed. Not sure if you are using exposed. But that's how I fixed mine.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

Can a mod move this to the Q&A section please before it gets out of hand. Not flaming you bro but we as a community need to keep things in order and post where we are supposed to post. Don't worry we've all posted in the wrong section a time or two.

You dont need to flash the whole thing just overwrite LGSystemUI.apk with the original one I attached, set correct permission and reboot.
You should backup any file you decide to change first..luckily the phone will still boot with a bad systemui apk

Hopefully that fixes it, hopefully what he flashed didn't change any other files outside of Systemui.

Thanks for the apk and sorry about posting in the wrong forum at first.....
How exactly should I go about installing the new apk though? When I used Package Installer it keeps saying "Application not installed" and doesn't run. Sideload Wonder Machine or something equivalent maybe? I had a tough time today with setting up LGPST so I'd like to save that as a last resort if possible.... Thanks for the responses though!

Never mind....figured it out. Forgot it had to be pushed over.... Needless to say I need to spend some more time around Android! It's been a while since I first got in the game.
Status bar is back up and running, and it even maintained removal of the QSlide Apps portion, which is what I was trying to fix all along -- my original screw up! All's well that ends well I guess.
Thanks all for your help! :good:

[Q] Question for Advanced users/Devs

So first things first I am running Goldeneye 7.1 stock kernel. I wanted the new themed Google Keyboard in the apps and themes section and downloaded both the zip and the apk but since a stock Google keyboard comes with the rom as a system app the themed keyboard wouldn't show up, even by flashing the zip. I tried removing the google keyboard from system apps (it was called Latin.apk or something like that) and themed keyboard still gave me cannot download app already installed. I finally ran the zip of the rom on my PC with a program called APP Swapper, i took out Latin.apk and put in the themed keyboard, now it works but every time i restart the phone i keep getting a google keyboard foreclose error until i reinstall the themed keyboard apk again. And then its fine till the next reboot. Any ideas why this is happening? and any solutions? Thanks in Advance.

Hye i kinda lost you but its not a good idea to remove system apps. And try to avoid changing them too.. I have gotten many force closes that way. I believe if you place it in /data/app/ then it will just use it from there as a system app, overriding the original system app without breaking.
I haven't tried the themed keyboard myself but you should probably ask this in that thread. Do you know what his script does exactly?

Bug Report: [ROM][WIP][PORT] CyanogenMod 11 M8 4.4.4 [BETA]

Hi there,
First off I would like to thank AngSanley for his work on the 4.4.4 CM 11 ROM, absolutely excellent development and keep up the good work. Hopefully I thought I would make a bug report here since i still can't post in the X development section:
1. Phone.apk problems:
a. Operator and Caller names coincide with each other (Issue was mentioned before in the thread however still looking forward to hearing from @AngSanley for a reply)
b. Repeated Missing Calls crash the com.android.phone process and the only solution is to call the missing call to get the phone app running again. To emulate that leave the call until it ends twice and see what happens
2. System Processes
In Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich you were able to disable system stock apps such as Browser, email, messages and it was possible to install the playstore apps as a replacement. I was wondering if it's still possible to enable that in the current ROM or it's not a bug as of the new releases.
Note: This also includes Trebuchet since I'm not currently using it.
3. Reboots in some cases disables the home button action in UDNB and prevents the lockscreen process from running properly which requires me to reinstall the ROM and Gapps while clearing cache and Delvik or by force stop and enabling lockscreen (which gets me to problem 2 sometimes).
Thank you again for the ROM and looking forward to hearing about upcoming updates with the ROM.

For the first issue, the problem is known. I mentioned it but it's difficult to fix.
For the third issue though, I found a solution. I disabled UDNB and installed Soft Buttons app. If the buttons crash, I disable them from the app and immediately enable them again. I reboot and... that's all!
(as for the second, I use some stock apps, so I can't tell you for sure)

Hopefully it gets addressed because it makes the phone literally unusable. The current list by AngSanley doesn't show it so I hope it's addressed to him.

Any specific app on the playstore because there are many apps for it

No problem it's fine. The imitation of it can be made if you even disable messages for example. It shows immediately that the phone loses functionality especially in the lockscreen process.
I'm really looking forward to hearing from @AngSanley on these. Especially on the phone process issue .

Couldn't attach it from Tapatalk. Here you are!
(Note that you MUST disable UDNB from Settings > Apps first, because the phone will show you 2 navbars!)

You should. Do a full wipe before flashing CM11.

Unfortunately I won't be able to do that since I just bricked my phone while formatting to the original stock version lol. I'm currently stuck on Nokia Emergency Connectivity and will be sending it to the Nokia care center next month haha. I'll be doing a fresh install when I get it back.
PS: I'm guessing no solutions for this problem outside the warranty am I right?

Yes you are right.

I messed up removing the stock Gallery app..

Hi all,
Got my 20X running EMUI 9.1 (all stock) and started disabling some useless apps (to me) like Google Music & Google Photos..
But these constantly re-enabled themselves appearing back on home screen.. So I decided to go ADB
Removed mostly Google apps I wasn't using but then I deleted some Huawei ones like HiCare..
...because I was doing such a good job :silly: I decided to get rid of the stock Gallery app - that is com.android.gallery3d and another one like com.android.gallery3d.overlay IIRC
Set my own gallery app as Default however the Huawei Camera app will not let me access recent shots as it's asking for the stock Gallery app...
Any way I can get around this please?

My goto is try apkmirror
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/huawe...ease/gallery-9-0-15-355-android-apk-download/
May or may not like it.
You can also check default apps under apps in setting to reset as default if necessary

Factory Reset will get you all back to before you started disabling/deleting apps.

Was afraid I'd have to do that... just after I finished setting everything up :l

Factory Reset is your fastest way of getting it working again as far as I know. Once you start deleting factory files/apps, I'm not sure what interacts with other files/apps to know exactly what needs to be reinstalled/added manually. With Factory Reset there's no question since it puts everything back how it was from factory. I was lucky enough to unlock my bootloader prior to Huawei blocking that and as a rule I freeze apps via Titanium Backup and wait at least a few weeks to see if anything else is effected before deleting.

You can try an older version and then see if it can be upgraded. The AppMarket if on AL00 is an alternative.
Huawei Backup & Restore is actually pretty good at settings and data, if you can save off the device itself before a reset.

So I managed to sort this out without having to Factory Reset, I just re-installed the app via adb
cmd package install-existing <name of package>
[Also returned the phone in the meantime]
