What app to freeze to stop auto download of 5.01 update? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I've read. I've searched these forums as well as Google search. I still haven't been able to pinpoint what app to freeze the system update download & notification. I can delete the download & get rid of the notification but it continues to occur.
I'm just happy to sit on stock, rooted, xPosed, gravity box 4.4.4 for now.
Anyone with a suggestion help?
Thank you much!
DB's Nexus 7

Easy way: turn off notifications of Google Services framework under Apps in Settings.
Alternate way: Google "disable OTA Nexus 7" abs and follow the guide using Autorun Manager.

DK Custom Froyo V4.5.2 market problem

I am using DK Custom Froyo V4.5.2 ROM by Deep-Knight .. very nice ROM for daily usage .. thanks Deep Knight and other contributors.
All running fine, only problem i am facing is the phone has updated the market to latest version. But when i run this latest market it crashes. So i have to uninstall the updates of market. Any solution for this ?
Secondly, i want to disable all applications like maps, market from auto updating. I don't know how to use comand prompt, so any software or patch to flash to disable auto update.
Thanks for all your help guys.
Check this thread:

Summary:
- Old Market Flashable is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17490859&postcount=131
- Freeze Market Updater using an app like Titanium Backup to prevent the market from updating again.
- As for other apps like Maps, I don't think they update automatically (Unless you explicitly allow them to). Auto updating only happens for System Apps like the Android Market.
Good Luck
Google maps auto updates itself regardless of the tick box in the market, I'm not sure if that's for everyone but I know there's a lot having the update problem,
autostarts has solved it for me, and the fact that its also constantly running in the background.

Thanks guys, freezed applications from Titanium backup.

That's weird, I am still on v5.3.0, and I get an option to update it from the market.

SuperSu cleanup for reinstallation setting

Rooted my Galaxy nexus and installed SuperSU 0.92 in recovery mode using recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img.
Opened SuperSU and it asked to update binaries - ok.
Then the playstore offered to update, so I allowed it to update to 0.94.
Then I noticed in the Settings
Cleanup for reinstallation from google play
I can't find anywhere that tells me exactly what this cleanup does,
so I am not sure if I should have run this 'cleanup' before doing the update from playstore.
What does "Cleanup for reinstallation from google play" do?
Searches turn up no info.
Is it ok to do a playstore update without first doing the cleanup in the settings?
(pls excuse the basic question, haven't rooted my phones before,
and haven't yet installed any apps that use it).

[Q] Unable to install apk galaxy note 2, rooted

I've Samsung galaxy note 2. Updated to 4.4.2. Rooted. Response screen of root checker attached for reference.
I'm trying to install the xposed framework. I've downloaded latest apk file. When I try to install the framework on clicking the apk file, the installer starts and shows the informative screen (screens hot attached). However, the install button at the bottom does not click - seems to be disabled. The cancel button cancels the process.
I've enabled unknown sources under security. I've tried with stopping and disabling the anti virus programmes - Avast and AVG.
What should I check? What am I missing?
I've explored the threads with similar subject, but could not find anything that would help. If this question is already answered, please point to appropriate link.
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
this is weird and should not be as you have attached ss showing that your device is rooted. can you install other APKs? if yes, then this exposed installer maybe not supporting to the android version, try after upgrade, make it 4.4.3.
Can not install any apk
Thanks Niton for the pointer. I checked with few more apk's. And the problem continues. I'm unable to install any apk. System information shows about 470 MB free RAM and 1.47 GB free storage. (I haven't installed KNOX).
What else can/should I check?
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
PS: I had installed from apk's in the past. I am not sure when this behaviour started.
Vikas Garud.
You better flash a pre rooted stock firmware and why you are still on 442? It's 444 time.
How do I migrate to stock ROM
Thanks Nitol for the suggestion. I'd certainly like to upgrade to 4.4.4 and further, as and when it becomes available. So far, I haven't done that since I use S-Note a lot and quite a lot of data exists under that application. I may be wrong, but I read that S-Note will work with Samsung ROM's. Any suggestions on migration from that app?
Any detailed guide/pointers/links to the process of getting and flashing pre-rooted stock ROM?
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
Do you have any screen filters activated? If so, it disables your phone from registering the install button on apks so remember to disable your screen filters during installation of apks!

What is a screen filter?
Thanks Epic_salamence for the pointer. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a screen filter? I haven't installed any "Screen Filter" on purpose. However, any of the installed Apps may be functioning as one. How do I recognise it? Any example of "Screen Filter" would help me in narrowing down the culprit.
Do the screen filters selectively disable the install button? The cancel button adjacent to the install button is
Sorry for the late reply but a screen filter is an application which helps your phone to further decrease screen brightness to optimise battery life and yeah, all screen filter apps disables your phone from registering the "install button' when installing apks. I had that problem too when installing xposed module but luckily my friend notified me about the screen filters. Oh yeah go to Google play store and search "screen filter" and you'll see an app called screen filter you might wanna check it out
It worked - kind of
Thanks Epic_salamence for the pointers. This kind of worked.
I searched through the play store for the screen filters and disabled all the apps installed on my phone. Did not work. So I un-installed them. Did not work.
Then I disabled the "copy bubble" app, even though it was not under "screen filters", but hey, it was on screen. And it worked. The install button was enabled and I could install Xposed framework and some modules.
Next stop, flashing of ROM!
Thanks, once again.
Hahahha glad I could help! Have fun flashing ROMs!

[Q] Google Play Store Keeps Crashing on Rooted Note 4, What to do?

I have a Sprint Note 4 which is rooted and yesterday I downloaded Lucky Patcher and the Modded Google Play Store to replace my stock Google Play Store. So through Titanium, I backed up the stock Google Play Store and then I uninstalled it, since the Modded Google Play Store would not let me install it without doing that. I also cleared the cache and data on Google Play Store and now it just keeps crashing all the time. When I try to download something, it starts to download and then immediately it crashes and gives me the "Unfortunately, Play Store has stopped working" error. I get the error no matter which version of Play Store I use now, whether it is the modded or the official version. I tried clearing data/cache to Google Play Services as well, to no avail. When I try to restore my backup of Google Play Store through Titanium it stays frozen with "Restoring Google Play Store 5.1.11" and I end up having to force stop Titanium. This is so annoying! What can I do? Thanks so much in advance!!!
1) Go to Application manager/All, scroll down to where you find these three: Google Services Framework, Google Play, and Google Play Services. Force stop and delete cache and data for the first two (in order given). You won't be able to force close Google Play Services but choose Manage storage and scroll to bottom to clear all data. It's annoying that they may try to restart, just clear again and reboot quickly.
2) If that doesn't work, got a nandroid backup?
3) Re-flash current ROM, if no.
4) If stock and no backup, consider another ROM or start over with Odin stock tar.
Note: options 3 and 4 may require clean install.
Note 2: I've tried to suggest from least inconvenience to most; hopefully, the easier methods will do.
Edit: you may also see an option to uninstall update to revert to the original system application; consider that as option 2 or 3 for Google Play.

Ok I just did that now when I run Play Store it doesn't crash, instead it is says " Check your internet connection and try again" It seems as if it isn't recognizing that I actually do have a connection? I heard that if you go to the files on the phone to "etc/hosts" file and put a "#" in front of the second IP address in the hosts file that it will work but I just tried that and it didn't so I reverted the file back.
Also I tried going to settings>accounts and removing my Google accounts and re adding them but Play store still says I have no connection (which I clearly do). I made sure my date/time settings are right as well. This is happening with the modded play store and the official 5.2.12 Play Store.
YouTube randomly crashes now as well and gives me "unfortunately, YouTube has stopped " Google play store is still not recognizing that I am connected. I think I have tried just about anything besides flashing back to the stock ROM
Did you try step one again after swapping the Google Play versions? Worth a try, if you didn't.
One more thing: Lucky Patcher creates an Odex file. You should use the Lucky Patcher option to remove the Odex and restore the original. If you're ROM is deodexed, Titanium may not fix this for you. You can manually check for Odex file as well. Titanium is also useful to check for unneeded dalvik-cache files.
And one last suggestion I omitted: in recovery, delete all cache and dalvik cache and reboot.

Hmmm it is working now after hours of fumbling around with settings. Both the Modded and official newest Google Play Stores started working after I turned off "Google License Verification Emulation" and I had to turn off "Google Billing Emulation". Very stressful lol but they were the default settings and I didn't really want to mess with any of the settings as I am just starting with Lucky Patcher.

Was that Google Play version 5.2.12?
I flashed that to system yesterday and everything was working except that it didn't populate my applications and notify updates until a day later. I had to search for updates that I knew were available. Today, the apps populated and I got update notification for available updates. I think it may be part of the battery savings that lollipop is supposed to be bringing; less Google Play wakes.
Consider that your manipulation results may have been skewed by Google not immediately syncing the update.
As for my experience, I did find myself doing step one and considering flashing the nandroid but waited for applications to sync. They did finally sync this morning. The longer sync of apps may have been induced locally by the use of Xposed module "Recent Apps" which can be configured to force close apps and remove from recents, reducing wake times.

No, it is the Modded Google Play Store version 5.1.11 right now that's working but there's a newer version of it that is out. I'm getting frustrated messing with lucky Patcher (if anyone can help me with the basics of it? that i would greatly appreciate that as well. Last question I have is that in my etc/hosts file and there is a "#" before the second IP address in the etc/hosts file. Anyone know what that "#" is used for in front of the IP in the hosts file? Thanks again!!!

The # is used in scripts to comment out; meaning ignore that line in your host file.
As far as LP, there is a help link to read. Discussion threads on LP may get closed on XDA; LP may be a useful tool but leans toward piracy. Not saying this pertains to you but there was a thread that the developer participated in that xda allowed to remain open with a warning. That should be sufficient, unless closed as well.
Edit: found the thread and warning http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45933638, post 21.

I know, it can be used for illegal purposes which is NOT what I am using it for just to be clear so the post doesn't get deleted because someone thinks I am using it illegally, which I'm not.. anyways, if anyone has any tips on LP id appreciate it thanks!!
Why not go to your time and date and turn off automatic time?
It worked for me!
No more check connection in google play store and youtube not loading
Google Store Crashing but only when rooted.
Why is it that when running stock lollipop 5.1.1 on Galaxy S6 Edge is it that Google Play Store constantly crashes when I'm rooted.
When no root it works fine and dandy.
Soon as rooted the bloody thing crashes constantly..
The only way I managed to keep rooted was to use stock google play store and prevent it from updating.
This I can cope with.. If anyone else has come across this issue and found a better way to fix it please let me know
My note 4 lollipop 5.1.1 device has rooted but fix problem in Google play when I update big file(like no system apps) apps so when it's completely update after start beginning wht can I do it

Problem rooting? Google installation block?

May be a Google installation block, someone having problems rooting Try this,
After a fresh restore, during the initial phone setup create a new Google account decline ALL Google offers for all updates and security checks. Let the Playstore finish installing , Restart the phone and open Playstore a few times just to be sure it is finish the core updates. Close all recent apps. Google Kingroot and download the app. (Do not use Chrome use the Samsung Internet browser) Reject the Google download warning and download anyway and test Kingroot. If you get this far with temp root. Turn the phone off and go to step 1. of the OP. Stabilized process used to unlock Bootloader
My thinking is you may have some Google background operations going on that are blocking Kingroot by default.

I've also read that a couple of factory resets might work.
I never downloaded neither of the apps that probably shouldn't be mentioned on XDA on the phone. I did so on the PC and sideloaded it.
