[Q] Suppress OTA 4.1.2 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've looked and I can't find anything on this. Is there a way to edit build.prop or something to suppress this update? I've tried several roms, there is always something that does not work. I could live with it but my security camera software is not connecting on the latest attempt, I'm perfectly happy with what I had. I haved restored back but the notification persists.

Freeze the system app "sdm 1.0" using an app like Titanium Backup. After doing this, any time you try to check for updates in Settings, it will force close.

Root installer does not work.

Root installer does not work? If you ask it to freeze a system app. it looks like its working but just hangs. The app is frozen but cannot be defrosted OR reinstalled. I froze the music app, can i get it back? No, its unusable!
Beware!

EB productions launcher

Hi guys. I wanna know if there's a way to stop the eb production launcher from updating. Originally its like a blue stock android launcher. But with the update, it turns into the stock gingerbread launcher. I uninstall the updates, but it always keeps on updating itself. So is there a way to make it stop auto updating?

You should still be able to search for it in the market to disable auto update... You can also use titanium backup to change the auto updates for all apps (user and system)

Titanium Backup

I've been flashing roms for a little while now and using titanium backup to speed up the process. Does anyone know why some apps will constantly force close after restoring a backup thru TB? Its fixed only by uninstalling the app and reinstalling the apk or from the market.

O had problem with adw launcher, but only when I swichted from 2.3.3 to 2.3.7 etc maybe that's the issue. But after force closing I was missing data only, the app was running normal

(Q) How to disable the update notification?

I did a search but I didn't find it, I could have missed it so I'm sorry in advance. I just want to be rid of the triangle update notification. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Settings>Applications>Manage application>All>DMClient>Clear data
Then if you are rooted you can freeze dmclient with titanium backup or just switch to a custom Rom

Thanks for asking this, I wanted to do the same as I just rooted and it was trying to update already.
Titanium Backup does not have the freeze feature on the free version.
I ended up using an App called Root Uninstaller

If you also stop the application here then it will never run again (also after reboot).
But when you want it back just use the check update under about tablet.
Worked on mine TF.
You then don't need Titanium Backup for this.

Verizon Software Update Coming In! Can't Stop!

I'm having a problem with the first Verizon update. I have a rooted, unlocked GS3 running the stock ROM only slightly modified. I thought I had FWUpgrade frozen, but apparently not. I do not have the purchased version of TiB and I used multiple apps to try to freeze the system app. I thought it was a success, but obviously not. Now everytime I turn my phone on I am seeing what is shown in the first attachment. The second attachment is showing what TiB shows when I look at FWUpgrade. I don't know what to do and need some help on what plan of action to take! What are my options? I've been wanting to flash a custom ROM and considering most of those have FWUpgrade already frozen that would solve my issue... Thanks for the help!

After taking it off of airplane mode, the update is no longer showing up!!! :good: Thanks again for the quick reply!!! You saved the day as far as I'm concerned!
No worries. Glad to help when I can.
