I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to block amazon forcing you to update to latest netflix after upgrading the firmware?
Thanks to rbox I have all the necessary components to keep the file structure/firmware of 51.1.0.2 and be on latest 51.1.4.1, of course new netflix does not work on that, I removed and sideloaded an extracted netflix apk from older firmware for the FTV but amazon has something forcing you to update, it pulls up a message saying required update. Any way around this? I think the state i have my FTV in if I could launch the old netflix it would work, but I can't launch it without the amazon nag.
The reason I need to keep the old netflix is for some reason my FTV's do not play well with the new version at all, many errors/skips/fails to launch/logs me out etc. I tried latest 51.1.4.1 and still same issue. It's odd too cause I bought a new FTV from staples and rooted it and upgraded it before doing anything to 51.1.4.1 with new netflix and it works way better on that unit than any of my other ones. not sure why
Also, the new netflix will not put my FTV to sleep mode automatically after timing out. The old one would allow it to go to sleep mode while new netflix logs out of the user profile but leaves the app open and it sat overnight on netflix, This doesnt work very well for me. Any help/insight is appreciated!

It's two separate apps, so if you leave the new one installed, the old one will still work. Unfortunately it won't show up in the main apps list and you'll have to open it like other sideloaded apps.

Just tried that, it does show up as a seperate as you said, the problem is when I launch it, I get an amazon popup that says "Launch newer Netflix Instead. you have installed a newer version of Netflix. This old version is no longer supported. Please uninstall and launch the new version instead. And two options, uninstall now or uninstall later"
Also looking at manage all apps list now it only shows the old netflix, I think it overwrote the newer version or something.

That's odd. Originally, before I fixed Netflix... I let it update to the new Netflix, I used it and it didn't work, and then I did 'adb install' to install the old one, and went to the apps list and it "just worked". It could be that they've since updated something to prevent that from working... Why not just flash 51.1.3.0?

My other FTV's are on 51.1.3.0 for that reason, I had just flahsed this one with latest 51.1.4.1 in hopes new netflix would work any better than it did on 51.1.4.0, but it seems not much changed (for me). I wanted to keep the new firmware for some of the features, remote on phone, sleep button, prime music and whatever bug fixes etc they've done in the background, also moving forward I don't want to be forever stuck on 51.1.3.0. But it'll have to do for now I guess.
@rbox do you still happen to have the APK you adb installed that showed up seperately? I wonder if it's just my .apk I have

It's the same one you have, it hasn't been chagned in forever. Just pull it off one of your other boxes.
Ok, yep same place I got the one I have. I just re-pulled it and the /data/data folder just to see, same thing.
Thanks for the help/input rbox
I hope this is the right thread for this -
I just updated to the pre-rooted 51.1.4.1_514013920 firmware. The new netflix app won't play anything. I tried uninstalling it, deleting it from the cloud, rebooting, and reinstalling. Still nothing.
Any ideas? I was fine with the old app if someone could point me to the APK. I unforunately don't have any other devices with the old APK.
I appreciate any help.

Nevermind. I ended up wiping and installing 51.1.4.0 because I don't think I ever did that. Then I reinstalled the boot menu and flashed .1 and everything is working.
I'll leave this here just in case anyone else makes the same bonehead mistake. Thanks for the hard work rbox, appreciate the rooted firmware releases.
Pixel 2 XL on 9.0
Bootloader Unlocked
TWRP Recovery
Rooted via Magisk 17.1
The Uconnect app for my Jeep no longer functions because the new version for Android 9.0 checks for an unlocked bootloader or root. When trying to login to the Uconnect app, I receive a popup that states I'm using an unapproved device. When contacting the developer, they claim that it's because my device is a security threat. I've tried Magisk Hide to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Same thing here too. I have an older S6 Edge + running a rooted Android 7.0 with Magisk 17.1. Magisk Hide doesnt fix it as well.
having this issue as well with the latest uConnect app. Pixel 2XL is rooted and unlocked. I loaded the latest stock firmware 9.0 and tried the uConnect app prior to rooting and it works on my end, but still a no-go once Magisk is installed. I even tried the magisk hide and the module that can alter prop to further hide magisk and no go. I think it may be that it is looking for root and is awfully good at finding it. If anyone can get this to work, would be great! I dont get why FCA is so worried about root. One would think that since we have to go through a VERY specific sequence to get root and unlock the bootloader, that we would have quite a grip on what goes on with our phones. Anyways, if someone comes up with something......
Uconnect is detecting Magisk Manager. You have to uninstall it in order for Uconnect to work.
Well that sucks
I ran into something like this, but it was because I had an old version of the app. I uninstalled Uconnect completely and re-installed. After the re-install it was a new blue colored logo instead of the black one and has a different layout.
Not sure if this is the same problem, but figured I'd mention it.

I tested root and non rooted. Both seemed to function fine for me. I initially thought rooted might be the issue for me, but it ended up being the old app.
Fresh install from play store gets me this.
Perhaps see if you can hunt down an older version apk and sideload that. That happens to me from time to time. Always has. Across different devices.

Sadly, if I install an older version it prompts to update with no way around it... If anyone knows a version that works please post here.
Wondering if a logcat would help to pinpoint the issue and assist the magisk developer with a fix.

The old (black) version of the app doesn't work with 9.0
Very discouraging
I am using black version for now this is very discouraging though. The new app version would be nice working because the black looks as though they won't be updating it anymore.

Same issue on my OnePlus 5T, the Black Icon version cannot connect to the network on Pie and the new Blue Icon is detecting something. I think it detects the unlocked bootloader, I tried to repackage Magisk Manager and it had no effect.

Hey guys, I've disabled update notifications through play store and I've disabled auto update system under developer settings as well but this keeps popping up every now and then and I can't figure out to block it. I'm rooted on August 2019 pie build. I've searched the services for play services and play store and can't find anything related to what this update might be from.
I've searched around Google and XDA and haven't found anything regarding this specific pop-up. Anyone have any info?
Following..
I have same issue, but mine is more out-of-date than yours! [emoji16]
Hopefully we'll get some answer here, I have not been able to prioritize this issue in normal life, and this holiday season is not giving me any more time for sure...

The annoying part is it doesn't pop up as a notification or an app that would show up in overview mode otherwise I could just long press on it and figure out what process it's coming from. I gotta figure it's from one of the play services but there's so many different ones and nothing I've seen really stands out like updater or anything like that.
Just letting you know, if it pops up & you accidentally hit the update button, turn off wifi & data, then clear the cache/storage on Google Play Services to stop the update.

I think the process is android system, notification section, it should be listed as download or update or very similar, just turn it off.

Just found this command to try in another system update blocking thread. Trying it out now. Not sure how often the pop-up appears but I usually see it about twice a week
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
I haven't seen any negative side effects to using this yet but if someone thinks so please let me know.

There is nothing with update or updater listed that I can delete when I use titanium. I think Google combined it with play services.
Any idea where it would be located for manual deletion? I've searched through both system and priv apps folders and found nothing that would indicate it is the system updater?

Does the "pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog" need to be run on a rooted device?
I tried on my unrooted pixel 5, but get the following error. Unfortunately I can't root because of my banking apps.
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
Exception occurred while executing 'disable':
java.lang.SecurityException: Shell cannot change component state for com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.phone.PopupDialog to 2

I found the answer myself. YES it needs root
I have tried to run this 'pm disable' command and run into the Java error. I am rooted, though with ADB, trying to gain root or anything, everything seems to get a 'permission denied' error.

Hi there. I'm new to Xiaomi/MIUI and would appreciate any help with the following issues.
Mi 10T – Global Stable 12.0.8 – stock launcher – MIUI optimization ON – de-bloated with ADB
I can't see how much storage space is being taken up by each installed app/package. They all show a "0" value.
I can't find Running Services under Developer Options.
I can't permanently disable usage access for System Launcher. It re-enables itself once I exit the settings menu.
App icons aren't updating. For example, Gmail, Maps, Photos and FB Messenger still display their old icons, despite me using the latest versions of those apps.
Google Play still displays the older menu style, despite me using the latest version of that app.
System Apps Updater doesn't detect OTA updates, despite several newer versions of MIUI 12 system apps existing on APK Mirror. This issue presented itself before I began de-bloating.
Updater doesn't detect OTA updates. I had to sideload 12.0.8 in order to update from the phone's original OS version (12.0.7). This issue presented itself before I began de-bloating.
Full disclosure: I'd rather not turn off MIUI optimization to see if that resolves any of these issues, as I'm not keen on resetting permissions (again).
Edit:
When I uninstall an app via the app drawer, a gap is left in its place. The icon of the uninstalled app is still there, it just turns invisible. I can uninstall it over and over, but it doesn't go away until I reboot the phone.
There doesn't appear to be a way to turn off the phone's equalizer. I can't use Blackplayer's equalizer until I do so. I don't know if the same applies to other music players.
Edit:
There doesn't appear to be a way to add emergency contacts or access them via the lockscreen emergency dialer. Emergency information (com.android.emergency) exists within the list of installed apps.
I'm on Global 12.0.7, unlocked, rooted and debloated. Stock recovery. What did you exactly do to update to 12.0.8? I do not want to wipe and I'm a little confused with the procedure...

I downloaded it from here, went to About Phone in Settings, clicked on the OS version number in the top left, clicked on the 3-dot menu in the top right and installed it via Mi File Manager.
AFAIK, you can only use Mi File Manager to install the update via this method. If you've disabled or uninstalled it, nothing will happen when you click that menu option – even if you've installed another file manager.

Finally I booted into TWRP and flashed 12.0.9 from there, no issues.
Hi
I was on Android 12 and signed in to the beta program 10 days ago.
I've noticed that APKs that were fine on Android 12 are not working anymore on Android 13 Beta.
APKs are crashing at opening.
I thought that may have been an issue related to the beta version of Android but couple of days ago Android 13 stable rolled out (I've signed out from the beta) but those apps are still not working.
I've found older APKs for a couple of apps and one works and one not.
How can I solve this without a factory reset?
Thank you in advance
What are the apps that are crashing? What does a logcat show when the app crashes?
Google introduced restrictions in A13 for side loaded apps. No longer can they use accessibility apis nor can they access notifications etc. Just speculation but if the apps you are using are old they may be crashing because of these changes.

You can bypass those restrictions by going to the app info page of the app and clicking on the 3 dot menu in top right corner.

Do those apps need Accessibility and/or Notification Access permissions? If not, then I don't think the 3 dot menu needs to be there as it is only for those specific permissions (or whatever other permissions Google might add to the list in the future).
For example, I have Adaway installed but it doesn't have the 3 dot menu because it doesn't need either of those permissions. The same for App Manager.
I am really confused with this new "session-based install" security.
What are "session-based install" and "non-session-based install"
Play store app install --------- surly "session-based install" 100%.
3rd-party store install --------- is said also to be "session-based install".
Firefox download an apk --------- is said to be "non-session-based install",
But how the firefox different from a 3rd-party store????? a system white list something?
safetynet, selinux, forcing many settings, anti-rollback, non-store app restrictions.........
I enjoyed so much that google throws sht tons of troubles to billions of advanced users, to fight an enemy that may not even exist.
(how many people have their phone bootloader secretly unlocked remotely by a hacker and installed root malware, unknowingly?)
Gives a warning is good eg. bootloader locked warning is great IMO. But force the hands and keep finding ways to screw the advanced users as hard as they can, to get the "everything is under my control" status is the wrong path.
I read the news that malware devs have already found a way to bypass this restriction.
In the end, like many others, It achieved nothing, except giving trouble to advanced users and devs.
A global bypass must be also on the way, especially from China. Millions like 90% of APPs are not store-based in China since the google ban, and people are used to download apk from every companies' websites as we do on Windows PC.

3 APKs from the company I'm working for (not on PlayStore) 2 sideloaded apps, and a LADB signed sideloaded APK
For example you cut and CC cleaner keeps crashing all the time.
Same here. Almost every app not from Play Store keeps closing right on tap to start them.
Tried to sideload them per USB with full rights. Same.
My company apps that didn't come from the play store are opening without a problem
Thats Vers Strange, indeed.
Every sideloaded App, modded or Not does Not work
Thought it was me...this is bs!
What's the next step...start posting logs I assume?
It's not EVERY sideload for me but about 1 in 3 I'd say.
btw...I got an 'install failed' trying to install/flash the viper4android mod not realizing how old it was...now I'm seeing lotsa audio/sound related crap in logcat reader. If I AM 'currupt' somehow, will just a rom re-flash fix a magisk issue or do I need a full wipe?
Tia for any guidance offered!

12 won't work right on the 13 bootloader, and you can't downgrade the bootloader.
When I initially tested flashing only the 13 bootloader on my Pixel 6 Pro, while still running Android 12, it booted fine, I unlocked the phone, and all looked normal. But I didn't launch apps, especially Chrome, YouTube, and plenty of other things. If I had, I would have noticed problems that others have had since then. It was since found that certain/many kinds of apps will not work right running on Android 12 when you have the 13 bootloader installed.
I know this above is not what this thread is discussing, but since you mentioned it, I just wanted to point out that if you're on any Pixel 6/Pro/a with Android 13's bootloader flashed, you won't be able to use stock Android 12 on it. You'll be able to flash everything but the bootloader, boot it up, and unlock it, but before long you would discover problems that you wouldn't be able to work around and would effectively make your phone unuseable for many things that we take for granted.
By the way, hopefully you have the 13 bootloader flashed to both slots. Having the 13 bootloader on only one slot is a little dangerous.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot --slot all flash bootloader bootloader.img
