[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!

Where does it cache to?
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...

TWRP Backup Can't Be Deleted

I was backing up the Rom I'm using. Jedi X11 (I back up every 4 weeks) when during the process it says "back up failed".
Something to do with the MD5.
Now in the back ups folder I got this weird folder that I can't delete. I activated the necessary permissions and it says delete failed.
The contents also can't be deleted.
Any idea on how I can delete them?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I see your using root explorer.
Select the file you want to delete with a long press, not a tap.
Press and hold down the selected file until another Window pops up and gives you the option to delete it.

Yeah I got through to that but it just says "delete failed".

Your ext sdcard might be failing. Same thing happened to me. Get your stuff off the card just in case. Go back in recovery and go to settings or advanced and select use internal sdcard for now.

See attached pic for help
This method never fails, if it fails in an app.
Boot to twrp and use the terminal in there
Also because there is a funky character in the name. You may need to just delete the backup folder. .. Since I don't see any other files in there if shouldn't be an issue

UPDATE: did the GooManager install method, but when i reboot to recovery the TWRP touch interface isn't there, just a basic push button recovery with no backup or restore options? do I try again? do I need to remove the initial install first & if so, how? would CWM be a better option on 4.1.2?
UPDATE: after messing with it, and discovering I can't use CWM, I basically just need help on how to completely remove all traces of & the app itself from my phone so I can do a fresh install, just uninstalling it doesn't help. When i reinstall the program it doesn't give me the chance to reinstall the script, like its already there but messed up somehow. phone is still rooted & functions fine. go figure

Figured out that all I had to do was reflash the .tar file of TWRP 2.4.4.0 manually with ODIN & it worked. Didn't reset my device at all. :victory:
Thanks to anyone & everyone who helped & put up with my NOOB to Samsung, ODIN, etc.. Hopefully day 2 with this phone goes a bit more smoothly.
Don't know what I'd do without this site!

As this topic came up top on Google for 'TWRP backup can't be deleted' I thought I would add that I managed to delete the backup by changing to the non touch CWM. I did this with the play store Rom Manager so I did not have to flash from download or Odin :good:

Use Data/Media insted of sdcard/ solved
I just had the same problem, wanted to delete 2 failed TWRP backups from my internal memory, had a good backup on my external, all delete attempts failed.
No need to flash or install anything... I used ES file Explorer.. (any root file Explorer should work).
Changed the path on top to (Data/Media) and browse to your backup, delete successful
Had to reboot to see the new free space back.

Make sure you flash your Baseband for your correct phone right after flashing the Rom or you wont have signal/Service.
Also I have edited the basebands due to whoever orginally created them added bougus Build.Prop and also added on screen menu buttons to the flash so I have removed them from the below baseband so you wont have the bougus Build.Prop and the on screen buttons at the bottom.

I've had that same error when I updated to 4.3 on my Nexus 7. What I did to fix it was remove the Google Account under settings and login again and accepting the user terms and stuff again.

when i tried restoring in clockworkmod 6.0.3.3, recovery tells me that no files were found.
I put the extracted contents of the stock.rar into the clockworkmod\backup directory in the sdcard but no go
did the same in my internal and obviously, no go. am i missing something?
thanks for your work by the way!!

I was using this and noticed that the signal cuts off randomly then reconnects. I flashed the baseband.
Also the issue with downloading apps from the play store reappears. I would remove the account and re-add the account and it would fix the problem but then reappear.

what you can do is use root explorer or browser and go to system/apps and delete the playstore and reinstall it from the web or apk google it you shuold get a latest one... that will fix the issue ,
for signal I know the issue I will add a patch , its due to the increase in network throttle added so if signal gets a little weak it drops and tries to reconnect

What APN settings are you guys running to get LTE..?

I saw in the other xperia thread you asked if anyone wanted an aosp rom and its kinda funny but thats what i thought this rom was lol but stock meant factory stock not aosp.
Anyway, i think ppl would rather have you focus your energy on a an aosp one than a debloated lg one, tho both are important. The aosp one needs more work of course so yea. Looking forward to that network patch, thanks!

Stock NE2 [ROOTED][DEKNOXED][09-01-2014][Odex & Deodex]

Welcome to the first fully working almost stock NE2 rom. It has all of the stock apps (including dialer) working along with all the stock functions (spen clipping). I call it almost stock because there are some changes such as tweaks and root included. I have a modified android.permissions.jar to enable the reboot menu and added init.d support to the stock kernel. Talking about the stock kernel I have also modified the ram-disk to completely remove knox. Also added in a few tweaks while I was in there.
Right now the rom will be released as Deodexed but I am working on a special odexed version with every app odexed. The ota and tar have most things odexed but not everything. Even my addon apps will be odexed. Only deodexed will be the apps you install.
Links and change logs will be located in post #2 when they are ready for public use. Change logs may appear before the link. If there is a change log and no link then it is being tested and is not ready for public use yet.
If you have an issue please report which rom version you are using (this will be located in about device under settings) and if possible add a logcat. Logcats will give the information I need to help fix the issue. If your issue shows up after you restored with TB or any other such app then it is your issue and not mine. I will only support issues with the apps I included and only if you follow every single step in my install instructions. I have way too much to do as it is without trying to fix your mistakes or some other devs apps.

Cricket MMS settings
This is the work of @mrwright83 and he has been nice enough to share so please remember to thank him.
1. go to your data settings by hitting ##3282# and select edit (depending on rom might have to enter msl)
2. go to mmsc and change it to this http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms?x-cricket-mdn=999_999_9999 (9's are your phone number)
3. then go your mms proxy and change it to wap.mycricket.com
4. lastly go to mms port and change it to 8080
And that's it

For anyone wanting to use this as a base for your own custom rom feel free and remember to give credit and a link to this thread in your OP. There is no need to ask for my permission to use this since the main reason it is here is for a base for custom roms.

Try different versions of philz recovery or reflash the version you are using now should fix that error I would think.

I don't think you can install it as an user app. It should be installed as a system app.

i installed it as user app then try to change it to system app using titanium, but it takes ages. i dont think titanium can do it?
is there any simple way to do it?

Flashable zips are a way to go. You could either search in google, there are guides there or you could get help from a developer
