I hate having my apps update automatically because I like to read the change log before I do anything.
I also hate having to tap update on each app individually and there are some apps I hate to update at all!
Is there anyway to 'check mark' apps then press a button that updates only those apps?
or keep certain apps from appearing anywhere in the update section at all?
This is really starting to bug me!
play store
You can open your Google Play Store, go to Settings, then Uncheck "Update Automatically". Also, uncheck "Update automatically on wi-fi" if you don't want to update even in wifi.
Guys my pop up notification for 5.0.1 has arrived. But I don't want to update. How can I get rid of the notification from constantly showing in my drop down bar? I've selected "later" but it keeps coming up every so often. I'm running a rooted N5 along with the brilliant XGels and Gravity Box. I really don't want to lose these great apps.

Download this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun
Open in advanced mode, go into it's settings and enable for system apps.
Then in the UI (if its annoying, try in landscape), tap on Google Play Services and disable everything with "SystemUpdateService" in it.
Blocking the notifications from SystemUI/framework in Settings could block other system notifications, and it'll still download the OTA (download wakelock) until you take it.

Gravity box has settings for blocking notifications of apps. Use it.

The notification for 5.0.1 only occurs while on 5.0. Gravity Box is not an option.

Thanks mate. Will try.
Wakamatsu, I'm currently on 4.4.4 and getting the 5.0.1 update message.

Odd. I would think that you would get the 5.0 update notification first. If you're on 4.4.4 and not using ART, GB is definitely a way to go.
Like Lethargy said, use Autostarts to disable all the receivers with "system update service" in their name. That's the only way to completely block your phone from downloading the update without any wakelocks. Or the easy route would be to disable notifications from play services, but then the update will still be there, it just won't show up in your notifications tray.
I'm not sure about this.
Just hold the notification and then drag to App- Info and Force stop that .
If that works reply me.
Even I'm eager to know if it works.

There is no need to. When update notification appear go to GravityBox settings and block that notification (from play services). Thats all. You don't need any third party app for doing this.

Or you could long press the notification, use the app info menu and block the notifications for the play services, without using gravity box.

You could, but with time notification about update will appear again. That's because untick notification in stock settings will not block all notifications activity and you can't disable everything with "SystemUpdateService" as Lethargy descripted well.
On the other side, GravityBox will do this entirely.

P.S. I do both off solution on my phone with 4.4.4 - Xposed, so thats why I'm so sure about it.

I think there are 2 apps generating the notification for I once stopped the first and other started to appear but after stoping that one it never appeared again.
I have an app that I don't want to update. Any way to disable the market update notification?
I've found some old thread but the solution is quite involved.

Thanks
Just go to playstore and disable auto update, if it's from Samsung apps then do the same but on samsung apps.

Yes. But that still get the notification. Annoyance aside, if I'm not careful and click on update all, it will get updated. Is there a way not to even show the update notification?
Go to the Settings > Apps then select your app, Uncheck "Show Notifications" checkbox and done. Maybe that help you.
Try user Cevem's way, it could work. If not then please post a screen shot, that way it would be easier to know what the problem is exactly.

Sorry. I meant the notification from Google Play that an update is available. Not the notification from the app.
I've found 3C toolbox. Its unlink function appears to be permanent, compared to what TB does

It's an app, so you can disable the system notifications from notification settings or just freeze the app.

I tried to disable the notification in settings but it says System Update these notifications can't be turned off, do you know the app name so I can freeze or remove it from system app/priv-app?

"System-Update"
Wow, this is exactly the question I wanted to ask.
Regarding method 1 (disabling the notifications), I can't find System-Update in Settings / Notifications / All apps.
That leaves method 2 (freezing). What tool do you suggest to do that?
I uninstalled Greenify because its hibernation was incompatible with Fingerprint unlocking (even with the 'slow method' enabled.)
EDIT: this seemed to work, is this a recommended way to do it?
- Open Titanium Backup Pro
- Tap the Backup/Restore tab
- At the top right, tap "Click to Edit Filters"
- Uncheck "User", check "System"
- Tap the green checkmark at the top right
- Scroll down to System Update 2.0.etc
- Tap Freeze

You need to enable the view of system apps within 1st method, otherwise only user apps are shown.
Freezing within TB works this way
Wow, fantastic. So I see that at the top right, there is a menu that lets you see system apps.
Awesome, thank you very much!!!
Well, I have found a new way. Using any root explorer, just go to system/app/OPBACKUP/ and rename OPBackup.apk to OPBackup.apk.bak and you are done...

Thank you! You helped me back with op 6. Any idea for op 8 pro, Android 11? They must have renamed the app, thank you!
You can use Titanium Backup to disable the updater...
The past few updates and now this "Lenovo Services" app is now constantly running. I've tried to force stop it; nope. I can't "mute" the notification.
Any of you even know what this app is? When did it get installed and for what purpose is it there?
Thanks.

I've been regularly updating (Xiaoxin Pad Pro / P11 Pro) but never encountered "Lenovo Services". I do have "Device Service" (package name com.lenovo.lsf.device) which wants to connect to AliCloud in Germany a couple of times per day. I don't allow it on my software firewall (currently NoRoot Firewall), so no notifications from there.

I just double-checked and it is indeed there. I will post a screenshot if that helps you. Furthermore, I'm unable to uninstall it or remove the notification that it is running.
I checked the app, and it has no permissions granted other than "draw over other apps" but nothing for storage or location or contacts.
I'm on a US device if that makes a difference. Someone here must have the same thing I would assume?
I do have the same service running on mine and unable to hide it from notifications.

At least there is a way to "hide it" see here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo...ervices-is-Running/m-p/5083807?page=2#5447336
swipe down to see the "LenovoServices is running" notification and tap on it, it goes to the app settings page
Here you have 2 options
tap on Force Stop, it stops the notification but also the service itself (which is probably not a big problem, I've received an update, today, with this service killed). No notification in the status bar, no notification in the pull-down
Or
tap Notifications, DownloadService
there you see two main options, Alerting and Silent, it's on Alerting
switch to Silent and tap Minimise, notification gone from status bar but it's still in the pull-down, service still running

Good info. Thanks. Although still no explanation as to what it's doing or, how it got on there in the first place.
