Not necessary as in if you do not do it it will not work. It is optional you can do it if you want to or not up to you.

I don't know why you wouldn't, it can't hurt anything and better safe than sorry, right?

Hi, I just got my new One X. Its not rooted and I'm not planning to do it anytime soon. I came across this: http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/
I try installing these apk's like a normal app but i keep getting a signature conflict error. I've tried clearing cache and uninstalling the updates but i still cant get it to work. I tried Google +, Facebook, YouTube and G mail. I wonder if there is a way around this.
Thanks for Helping
Cheers.
You can't update system apps with modified ones.

yes you can but you need to work into /system/apps folder in the phone and replace the original.apk with this apk...
It would have been nice if i was able to.
Thanks anyway

Will this cause any FC's or any other errors?

i really don't know, if the app is compatible and you do everything right that should not create problems...

I have rooted, and I have xposed installed.
What is the upgrade procedure? Do I need to go so far as to remove root? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have T-mobile LG G3 and I also received 154 MB update this morning. My device was rooted with Xposed installed. After the updated, i lost my ROOT access, everything else remains the same. Hope this helps.

Another question, I found the ota.zip should I make flashable/rooted version? As far as I have looked, no one else has done it yet

Got this just now...but don't wanna lose root. The notification is annoying as hell. I would flash and update if it won't bork everything but I'd settle for just getting rid of the notification. Anybody know how to get rid of it??
Everything I do or have is custom.... Period.

When I long press, I see "App Info" and when I press it, it shows Google Play Services.
When it is disabled, does the update go away, or is it still on my G3 waiting to be installed?
Anyone know how this happened? I'm rooted, with custom everything, and I have OTA updates disabled!
I'm doing a TWERP backup anyway.
Anyone that has installed the update - did you get root back?

you should try rooting again try it with stump if you're lazy, because they may or may not have patched the exlpoits they were using and im really curious as too if it does

anyone else get the prompt to update the software? are you going to update?
Got it and did it 2 days ago
Same and same
probably too early to know, does anyone know if this update will affect root? coming from htc, i remember updates were frowned upon as they can make rooting more difficult.

Got phone few days ago and update popped up. I postponed it so its in my notification bar until someone confirms device can be rooted on update safely.

below is the link I used. The battery drain is bad but manageable. I think it puts the wrong recovery on the phone, but it does root the phone. I was able to use titanium again :highfive:
