Finally I found a way to disable gingerbread system update notification which is annoying to the user specifically with an non rootable update like .62,
Use Rom Toolbox app or any other app that has the capability to disable an application to freeze the system update application then reboot the device, the notification will disappear.

I hope that this is in the correct forum and if not I apologize.
The latest update of BusyBox hosed my phone and when I reflashed the Classic Rom, by tommytomatoe, I of course got a notification to update BusyBox and bunch of other apps. I did a manual update for all of the apps except BusyBox and have been repeating at every update.
Is there a way to put BusyBox on "hold" so that if I press Update All it will not update with the rest of the apps. This would also be useful for other apps too to prevent them from updating.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think ti backup can freeze them...

I have the pro version of Titanium but if I freeze the app won't it prevent it from running when it is needed by other apps? I just want to freeze the update part.

I think the "remove market link " in TB should accomplish that

Out of nowhere today I installed an apk and somehow it didn't ask for permission to install or cancel. at the Notification bar there is a message that says: ES APP MANAGER and the icon is two gears, the apk installs automatically and there is not window asking for permission. All subsequent apk's install this way. very dangerous.
How do I troubleshoot this issue? .. I went to tablet settings applications (ICS 4.0.3) and I don't see any app with that above name.
Help is appreciated, regards.
EDIT. Found the culprit. it's the new version of ES File Explorer 1.6.2.4.a

When you clear data or switch to a new rom. And when you log into your google account, all the apps that you used will be synced by google and gets installed...

Unknown sources or /system/app
To avoid unknown app installs from links etc., Go to Settings -> Security -> uncheck the Unknown Sources.
If you are using a rooted device, you may have pushed an apk into /system/app which can install and delete apps from your device without your permission.
Requires root
Firstly go into settings > more > about device > software update, and disable the Auto Update option.
Use an auto start or boot manager to disable both processes for "Software Update". You may need select a setting to show system apps on your list.
This should cause the system to not check if there is a downloaded OTA update on your phone.
Note: If you have more than one Software Update app then open the notification in your notification bar and postpone the update further and go back to your boot manager to check which of your Software Update apps were running. This is the one you will need to disable.
Should you need to install the OTA update later, go into the Software Update settings and click check for update OR go back to your boot manager and enable the processes again and reboot.

So, the ROM works fine and everything is dandy, but the main issue that irks me is that I have to press "ok" every time after disabling data:
http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
Is there a way I can change that the message does not show up or do I need to go into ADB? I'm not sure how ADB works either.
TestKnow has also released a universal ADB driver. Not sure how well that works or if anyone has pointers because I had a tough time installing ADB in the first place.
Another issue is the messenger app. There's a different version of the stock messenger app that I want to install because in this version I can send messages without typing anything:
http://gyazo.com/f38f7d74870c98b40d1e39ab66d24e19
I tried to push another app before but it just permanently crashed the app and I had to reflash. Is there another way? ADB again?
Thanks.
Sadly this is present in both stock 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

The disabling data thing? I mean, I can live with this and the other issue, but I would be happier if I could fix them. I know phones aren't perfect so I'm just trying to be realistic here. I haven't downloaded any apps yet to see if I can remedy these two things first. Thanks for replying.
If you're rooted you can use mobile toggle data from xda.
Google it.
With that you can either make a widget or Tasker profile.

I meant from the pulldown menu like in this picture: http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
It's not a dealbreaker for me but it would be nicer.
Would you know how to push an apk into the system drawer? I wanted to add a different version of the messenger and maybe keyboard app.

Sadly no, but will be happy to hear it, if you find a way!
You can use ROM toolbox pro to convert a user app to a system app.
Or if you already have a system app apk file then just paste or move it /System/app or priv app and set permissions using a file explorer then reboot phone.

He want it in the notification drawer.
Guess now I have found a reason to want a custom rom on this phone because I want the social media apps gone. I don't use Facebook nor do I plan to so I hope HTC pushes out an update to allow this app to be removed.

Facebook has been a system app as long as I can remember. Really...even my EVO 4G had Facebook installed to the system. Doesn't have to be a custom rom...just root, and an app capable of uninstalling system apps, like Titanium Backup.

What I do to fullfil your wish, and root's not needed: I simply deactivate Facebook and uninstall updates to free some space: problem solved

If not a system app, I don't see any other reason why the OP can't uninstall...
If you are using a custom rom, there is a strong chance that it is not installed onto the system partition.
Fb is def a system app but just disable it
Anyway to Disable/Uninstall the Mail and Message App without rooting?
You don't need root to disable apps anymore (you need it to uninstall system apps though)
Could always use package disabler to disable both the app and it's associated system components. It doesn't require root but it does require you to remove all your accounts and set them up again (settings > Google)

A screenshot of your App Info page for Facebook would be helpful. Same goes for the OP.

Sorry I misspoke. I was talking about system apps like the Mail or HTC MSG app that wont let me disable or uninstall.
