I have a question for some of the experts. Can someone point me in the right direction to disable automatic OTA updates? I am currently using a ROM that is not being supported by the developer and would prefer to stick with it if possible.

Custom ROMS dont get OTA updates, unless that is your'e mixing them up with Application updates

No. OTA Updates have to be disabled by the chef of the ROM. In my case the Chef did not disable them and I am wanting to get rid of that damn annoying pop up that says there is an OTA update.
Here's how to fix it with Root Explorer (from the Market).
Open Root Explorer, scroll down to and click on "System". In the upper right corner, click on "Mount R/W". You will see a file called "build.prop", long press on it and select "open in text editor".
Scroll down, you are looking for a line that reads:
"ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/"
The 231334 might be a different number, but whatever it is, you need to change it to 264707, then save and exit, click on "Mount R/O", then reboot the phone. My notification was still up after I rebooted, however after tapping on it and hitting back, it went away. It shouldn't bug you to do the update anymore after that
For reference:

Thanks. This worked well.
In the future, please post your question in the q & a section instead of the development section. Thanks, and welcome to the community.

I'm pretty sure you need to enable root in settings somewhere. But I can't recall....I'm on 4.1.2. Try Googling it.

as far as i've seen all of the 4.3 roms are already rooted, you might need to go into setting and select the superuser, press the menu button and select settings, change the root to apps and abd, i've had to do that on a couple roms so far,
if the developer options aren't there go into "About Phone" at the bottom of the list in settings and press the build number a few times and the developer options should be available at that point
Flash this, worked for me http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
thank you much

JoeGrimm is correct. On cyanogenmod based 4.3 roms, root is not enabled by default. Go into about phone, tap the build number 5 or so times, or until it says developer options enabled, then go back to settings and enter the developer option area. Scroll down to "root access" and set it to apps and adb. Root should now work on all your apps.

Hi All,
I'm trying very hard to search for the best method/option for rooting my Samsung GT-I9192 Duos(India Version) but not found any as yet.
Not sure if I have knox or not(is there is way to find out?) but I would prefer an option which does not void my warranty. Although if I have to, I don't mind foregoing the warranty. Also, I need only root - custom kernel, etc may not be required, Thanks
Can you please suggest the best and simplest method/option(preferably one click) to root my device having the following specs:
Model: GT-I9192
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9192DDU1BML1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-1971249
[email protected] #1
Sat Dec 14 21:59:36 KST 2013
Build number: JDQ39.I9192DDU1BML1
Appreciate any help urgently, Thanks!!!
BS
well if you don't mind sending your info to some server in china [as some ppl claim] kngo root is your safest bet and you do have knox, you can always check it by going in download mode and see it if the word knox is there, which it will be in your case , btw after using kingo root you cannot boot into recovery you have to flash a custom recovery which will also trip your knox . or you might get lucky as me on the same build as you , rooted via kingo on I9192DDU1BML1 , deleted all Knox files [ search this forms for which files to delete] , flashed cwm recovery , flashed custom kernels, and still din't trigger knox only god knows why as i can't figure it out.
there are some other methods like saferoot , just do a search on this forums.
The BML1 has knox and saferoot does not work on BML1. Kingo works fine and I have rooted the BML1 on mine using Kingo
Sent from my GT-I9192
Some how Kingo refuses to work with my device. At first with Kies installed, it would connect to my device and get stuck at 0% on the "Downloading Device Driver Software Screen". I waited hours but it was still stuck at 0%.
After reading up on their support page, I downloaded and installed the drivers manually. But now Kingo wont connect to my device.
It does initiate a connection when I plug the cable/device in USB but after a few seconds, its back to the home screen saying "Device Not Connected".
I have tried the following drivers with/without Kies 3:
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.24.0.exe
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0.exe
What am I doing wrong? Hope there is another option/method if Kingo doesnt work out, Thanks again.

Did you turn on USB Debugging mode?
You have to first enable the Developer Options before you can access USB debugging
Setting>About Device>Tap on Build Number 7 times until the screen shows Developer Options is enabled

Hi... Yes, developer mode was turned on before starting the procedure.
What else could it be? Thanks
I have no clue. Do you have another Samsung phone to prove the setup on the computer? The Samsung drivers can recognize any Samsung phone if they have been installed properly.

Yes, I did root a Note 2 successfully with the same computer/setup but another/manual method(using Odin) with only Kies installed. I guess all required device drivers get installed when you install kies? This is the first time i'm using Kingo though.
Will this method work for my device? The only concern is I don't see I9192DDU1BML1 mentioned anywhere. Thanks

^ this method did work for me on the earlier firmware before BML1, but i lost my wifi so had to flash a custom kernel , dunno if it will work for ML1 as for usb try dialing *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.
had the same issue with kies and s4 drivers this sorted it out .

Thanks a lot. Only MTP was checked, I checked the 2nd option MTP+ADB and rebooted the device. Hope this resolves the issue.
Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient privileges on this computer so will have to wait another 2 hours to verify it on my computer
This worked and now I have ROOT!!! Thanks a million everyone, especially dovakinn for that last master stroke!!!!
Is there a way to remove or delete the Supersu icon from the menu? I dont want to uninstall it, just hide the icon without using the native hide/unhide feature. Thanks Again!

Thanks SilviuMik. I got the following pop up as soon as I clicked on SuperSu - "Samsung KNOX has been detected. this might limit root capabilities and cause annoying popups. Try to disable KNOX?"
Should I say OK or Cancel?
Srry but Im completely new to this KNOX business. Many Thanks

I know you are already removed/hide your super su icon . But here is also some option
Just install super user elite and switch to ghost mode .
Install nova launcher latest version and hide app from the menu .
Thank you .

Yes I have already hidden the Supersu, thanks though for the alternative approach.
A couple of observations though, which may or may not be significant:
1) While installing SuperSu, there was a pop-up on the device which said something like "SuperSu has tried to make changes to your device and was blocked. It gave only 2 options I think (a) Block now or (b) Inform me again after 30 days. I chose option b.
2) I chose to block KNOX when it asked me as soon as I started SuperSu and It gave me a success message.
Now my question is - Will this 30 day counter give a prompt to block supersu again after 30 days?
If someone chooses Yes, then what will happen? Will the device become unrooted or apps needing root become dysfunctional?
I did block KNOX later so shouldn't all these notifications etc not come up anymore. Thanks!!

Hello, i have a question to you. Eariler i used viperDHD rom and there is a mod, where i can set function "hold back to kill app". Next i change rom to SVHD and it really faster and better for me, but i can't find that mod/app. Is there any chance to this function on this rom?

If developers option are visible then scroll all the way down and click last option which is "Kill App Back Button". If not visible developer option then click on build number for 7 times until it says "No need,you've already unlocked developers settings".
I think after that you may able to kill app by back button

Unfortunately, this rom doesn't have that option, or i can't see it. Maybe some flashable zip or something?
This is ridiculous, I'm on the latest crap of Android 12 and I tried to open my hidden app section using the disk pad and it does nothing now.
I go into the security settings to reset everything up again and I enter my password and it does nothing.
What gives? Thank you
Hello , I was having same issue
Now u can find ur hidden apps this way
Go to call dialer
# your passcode#
To set this up go to setting < privacy < hidden app .
That's what I have been doing, but after a million tries now it works... Unbelievable.. I need to use a new OS
Glad now it's working for you brother .
