Does anyone know how to disable the OTA update notification? It's irritating me pop up in my notification tray all the time but I can't for the life of me figure out how to stop it, my tablet is rooted running Lollipop 5.0, I tried using the disableservices app and disabling the sustemupdateservice under the Google Services Framework, disabled both services under the System Updates, disabled updateservice under SHIELD Hub, and both services under NVIDIA Tegra Service Updater and still no dice, it keeps popping up.

Dang, man, you pretty much have disabled everything there.
If you have SD Maid or something similar, you have to freeze the following service or apps:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks, freezing that with SD maid seems to have worked, I guess the disableservices app simply wasn't working because that was one of the services I disabled with it.

Been searching numerous threads on how to remove the OTA notification from my N4 now the 5.0.1 update has raised its ugly head on my notification bar (staying with KK 4.4 and I have xposed installed) A relative noob even though I have been able to work out a few things along the way I'm not very experienced admittedly - but this has me stumped!
I have disabled auto updates so 5.0.1 hasn't been downloaded, just want to rid myself of the annoying bar flipping all the time.
I'm intrigued by the possibility of doing this with SD Maid...but can't for the life of me work out how to access the System Updates screen you threw up there CM17X. Have enabled system apps in AppControl but can't find 'System updates' anywhere in the list. Version is 3.1.1.4[356]
Edit: showing google services framework details as example
Totally confused at this point as to what I'm doing wrong!
Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Cheers zhukoz.

Hey, thanks very much for going to the trouble of making that gif - I really appreciate it
Yes, I am rooted so can see System apps. However, that is exactly what I have been doing! and alas, in the whole long list of apps, System Updates does not appear ANYWHERE. Google Service Framework, yes, ConfigUpdater, System UI, etc all the other system elements are there.
But not System Updates Love to know why Lol
I guess I could just be very careful not to accidentally trip the notification updater! But its disappointing not to be able to utilise this seemingly easy fix. I tried disabling notifications for Google Services Framework and Play Services in Settings > Apps (which killed the notification OK) but had the sudden battery drain issue so had to re-enable them.
I gotta thank you for all your help though and the fast reply...much appreciated mate!

That's kinda strange. Did you tried looking for System updates on the search box? You should be able.
Disabling service for notifications and stuff wouldn't stop it.
Also make sure you have activated the "Include system apps", just for fun. Or try uninstalling and re-installing SD-MAID

Yes mate. Did a search for it before and nothing was found and 'include system apps' is checked. Good suggestion on the uninstall/re-install I will try that next.
Just a thought...having certain xposed modules installed couldn't be affecting this, could it? I'm doubting that it could but I don't know enough really to be sure Lol

I think I'll have to resign myself to living with the notification, unless I can sort out how to use the fotakill.apk mentioned elsewhere...had just hoped I could avoid it (and take the 'easy way out' lol) but it seems not!

I can't figure out why you are unable to see the ota or system updates application, seems like at some point you lost it. Maybe factory reseting your tablet. Not sure.
Make some memory, did you uninstalled it? (System update)
It is strange, isn't it! No, I definitely didn't uninstall it heh. I've only had the phone for a couple of weeks, though it came to me second hand with 4.4 installed not Lollipop so it wasn't a factory reset purchase.
Maybe something happened during the rooting process? (I used NRT toolkit to unlock/root/install TWRP - which went smoothly)
Just thinking, if I don't have the application present, it couldn't update in any case could it? (being rooted aside, in which case I believe the update if initiated, would fail)
Maybe it might be best just to let sleeping dogs lie, so to speak! By all accounts the 5.0x update can cause major issues with the Nexus 4 and I'm not keen on the new L interface either. Not knowing enough about how android functions, I don't know if the Fotakill/apk fix would work if I don't have System Updates application anymore.
Have to thank you for persisting with this on my behalf, pity we couldn't come to a definitive conclusion

I dont know if the method you've used for root KK makes it dissapear, but what I know us that for KK it was too much. You can root KK with towelroot and just one click.
As for lollipop, I'm on 5.0 which is good for me, 5.0.1 is a no no

Yeah the update notification which is displayed is for 5.0.1, which is reportedly not working too well in Nexus 4s
Nexus Root Toolkit is what I used (which is one click for root) but who knows if the System Update application was there before rooting? The phone came to me set up already, not as a fresh factory reset so it could have been like that when I got it.
I think I can live with the notification prompt, considering the missing system update I'm leery of doing anything else to it now. Having never performed one, does a factory reset touch system files? I didn't think it did, and if this is the case then the missing app wouldn't be replaced. But as I said, I don't have enough experiece to know...my first Android phone, guess I'm jumping into the deep end after only a couple of weeks lol
But anyway, thanks CM17X. Really appreciate your help/suggestions.

I don't think that factory reset restore the missing system app neither, but if you're willing to try, try it.
Look at the settings > Apps > Disabled tab to see if by any chance you find it disabled.
Other thing is that you can try to install KitKat again, from whatbi understan you've unlocked your bootloader, so it shoyld be an easy cake to do.
Try installing Titanium back up to see if it can find it.

No I haven't disabled it, and it doesn't show up in Titanium Backup either so I guess we can say it has definitively gone lol
I've downloaded the factory image for kitkat from google dev site, but might sit on it for the moment. Yes as you say should be a piece of cake (especially with the toolkit) but if the notification isn't that detrimental I'll keep the factory flash in mind for now.
You've been really helpful mate, trying to sort this out. Much appreciated

How I did it:
I installed SD Maid from the Play Store and upgraded to Pro (might work without getting Pro)
I tapped the left top menu and the tapped the 3 horizontal bars (like Equalizer sliders)
This opened Settings > AppControl > I checked the box of "Include System-Apps"
Set Sort mode to Name (default is Last update)
Exit settings
Open AppControl from left menu > Start > scroll down to "Software update"
i.e.
Software update
com.wssyncmldm
4.03 MB
Tap on it to open pop-down menu > Freeze App
Not sure if this was the trick but I have not got the dreaded 143 MB update notification so far.

I don't know if there's a thread that already covered this. I searched the forum and only turned up one slightly similar topic. Anyway, I've got s-off on my M8, I've been flashing ROMs, and anytime I use anything Sense-based, all of the Verizon bloat redownloads upon reboot. Every time. Even after uninstalling, going into the play store, and removing the apps from my account, it all reinstalls after I shut the phone off and turn it back on again.
It's happened for me on:
Stock
cleanROM
Android Revolution
The only ROM that doesn't do this to me (that I've tried) is digitalhigh's GPE, which makes me think it has something to do with Sense/some kinda HTC sync/something I'm missing that isn't in GPE.
Take cleanROM for example. It doesn't have any bloat included, but upon setup my phone immediately began downloading those bloatware apps, which appeared again on my play store app list. I'm stumped.
Anybody have a similar experience/know the answer? The whole reason I went through the trouble of rooting, getting s-off, flashing a recovery, and flashing ROMs is to get rid of the bloatware, but if it just keeps redownloading no matter what, that defeats the purpose. I could stick with digitalhigh's GPE, which is a great ROM, but it's got a bit of lag, the camera is ****, and the carrier information is unknown, so I don't consider it stable enough to be my daily driver yet.
Thanks in advance!
I don't know the answer. I'd say initially it sounds like you have google set to auto install your apps, but that should only happen when you first initialize a new ROM. You can prevent that by unchecking the option during the phone setup. But you said you deleted the apps from your google account and this is happening by just a restart so...
What I would do in the meantime is install Titanium Backup and freeze all the apps you don't want. I wouldn't freeze/uninstall anything unless you are absolutely sure of what it does and everything it's associated with. Freezing should stop them from downloading and updating. They won't appear in your app drawer either.
---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------
PS - don't freeze BlinkFeed. I made the mistake of thinking it was just the social integration app. It's actually the launcher.
Also, this is probably something that would be fixed by an internal wipe in recovery. You most likely have some latent folders that never got wiped. I would first try a full wipe with internal (not system!).
Just an idea, I really don't think it would work but you can try it out. Maybe if you'll use supercid the bloatware won't be download

No related at all. That is for a device check while flashing. It is probably like the person above said, it is probably just restoring previously installed apps since most of that is on the play store.

Turns out I had Google set to back up apps. Derp.
I could swear I didn't turn that on when I did initial setup. I usually don't miss something that obvious. Oh well. Problem solved.
Thanks for replying tho guys.
The other Beta thread is a little crazy with everything, and there is not much regarding the title of this thread any way.
Anyway, so far, I REALLY dig 7! I love the changes to the UI and such, and where Samsung went with it overall. I haven't seen stock 7.0/7.1, so I cannot say how close to stock they kept it, but I hear it's even closer than before. That, I think it awesome.
Everything seems snappier, and the way things open and close is pretty slick. The new color scheme is nice too. A LOT less 4 year old than I've come to expect from Android lately.
Battery life for me is pretty much the same. I'm getting from 4-5am to 10pm with still 40-50% left.
New menus, dropdown, etc. are nice too. The app drawer is SOOOO much better now that you sort it alphabetically once, and it stays that way, instead of every time you install a new app, or one updates, it would put whatever app at the very end.
However, after a couple days of zero issues, I'm starting to have some.
Notifications will not swipe away sometimes. Generally it might take several attempts to swipe away, but sometimes they just won't unless I unlock and do it again. Fairly annoying.
Changing permissions in app manager sometimes causes Settings to force close. Not a big one there since I can change permissions elsewhere.
The cache fills up more quickly and the phone starts to lag after just a couple days. I wipe cache and whatever about once a week and reboot the phone, now I am doing so every 2-3 days it seems. No biggie there, I realize this is beta.
That's it for now. Your turn.
I find the 7.0 beta fast & smooth. Battery life has doubled for me. I used to have to get a charge around 7-8 hours of use. I'm now getting 12 hours between charges.
I like the UI except for the notifications. The large, white background is ugly.
I've noticed that wireless fast charging doesn't always work. Sometimes it says it's charging but when I pick up the phone the battery hasn't charged.

- Settings: Editing up to 9 Settings shortcuts, only shows 8 for me but trying to select another for a 9th errors stating one is already there. It was due to having Battery as a shortcut before, but now in the beta this is under Device Maintenance. Reported as a Bug. EDIT: Clearing cache/data on Settings removes all shortcuts at the top of the Settings app, and you can re-add what you like again, and fixes my issue mentioned above.
- Galaxy Apps Store: Missing, but can access via Galaxy Essentials Widget or Samsung Gear, also reported as Bug.
I would encourage anyone who has registered and taken the beta to file any Bugs or Suggestions in the app Samsung Members. If you flashed the beta with Odin and didn't officially register, you may not see this app and cannot provide feedback. Samsung did reply to both of my above Bug reports, stating that they were aware of them and will fix them in the next beta release. They are looking and reviewing those, so I encourage everyone who's having an issue to report it, be thorough and explain how to reproduce your issue, provide screenshots if applicable.
Don't be that person who just files a Bug or Suggestion with "It's not working FIX NAO" or "Add this feature or I'm never buying Samsung again!!11"...but I cannot stop you if you decide to do that.
Since installing the Beta, I'm quite happy.
1. Faster and smoother performance, does not start to lag
2. Better notifications system
3. Can turn off the hated Bluetooth volume warning/limit
4. Zero issues so far with normal use
Only downside so far is loss of Foxfi tethering.
Only odd issue is that my phone System Update in Settings doesn't recognize that the phone has been updated to the Beta version. Still says I'm on PH1 build from September.

For those whos galaxy apps store icon disappeared, I had that too, I think its a bug in the upgrade, because I did a factory reset and the icon came back. All the issues I had went away too. Very Very impressed by this beta.

2. When I click on the gallery icon in the camera app, it says there are no pictures. It's saving all the images as an album. Not sure if this is a setting but I can't locate it.
Does anyone know where to report these issues if we are on the official beta?

Same here. I use LastPass and the app filling service (uses the accessibility framework) gets disabled on each reboot. I reported it to the app maker as well just in case it's an Android 7 framework change and not a beta issue.

I did the update .. once the update was installed .. did a full factory reset.
So far so good .. UI is fluid/smooth .. have had no problems with making or receiving calls, sending and receiving messages (SMS and MMS) .. Applications (which I have a lot of) are doing good with only 1 hiccup and that was with executing Facebook. The application would immediately crash. Now, I also use Messenger and Words with Friends (tied into my Facebook) .. so I tried Words with Friends first, was able to log in using my Facebook credentials no problem. Next, Messenger.. because I used the same credentials with Word with Friends, Messenger automatically logged me in using the same. So since both those worked, I tried Facebook again .. success, didn't need to log in and it when straight to the page.
Only other issue I have noticed .. my WiFi will disconnect spontaneously, even though I'm within 10 feet of it. It would also lose it's credentials (WEP info) .. so I need to re-enter to get connected.

I actually tried this and it said my device wasn't registered and wouldn't allow me to give any feedback. For those that are though, please please use that app to tell Samsung what bugs or issues you come across. Posting them everywhere else won't get them fixed.
Thanks to all who are putting in their input and testing Nougat to its limit. This is a rock solid beta so far.
I like it so far, just wish there was a root.
I'm getting a significant bump in battery life. I attribute it to the improved doze mode in 7.0. The blue light filter is something that is more useful to me than Samsung Pay!

Absolutely love the 7.0 beta so far. Everything is much smoother than marshmallow and the animations are a lot more appealing. You can tell that Samsung didn't intrude very much into the stock 7.0 look.
I'm constantly finding little tweaks that make me go "woah", such as the display resolution customization and in-depth battery saver settings. I also just found out that if you click the wording "Flashlight" in your notification draw it allows you to change the brightness. A small feature but I find it extremely useful.
Other than that I'm just genuinely impressed at the performance boost and battery savings this beta has brought with it.
10/10
Also, if you want a more stock look download the theme "Material Dark".

Also, if you want a more stock look download the theme "Material Dark".

Been using Material Dark (was already on my phone in marshmallow when i updated).
But based on your post noticed that the screens that appear wheni tap on the words on the pull down don't look right. Do they look OK for you?

Some of this guide may apply to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) as well. I've honestly forgotten what 6.0 was like since I have been on the 7.0 beta for so long, but some of this is possible on the older software.
So the reason I decided to make this guide was because I recently almost sold my S7 Edge due to poor performance. When I first installed Nougat it was great, but over time the phone got worse and worse. I realize this is an Android thing in general, but it just got to be so annoying that I couldn’t ignore it any longer. I have a vanilla android tablet that flies and when I would switch back to the phone it was almost unbearable. This guide will help out significantly with that issue.
First off you'll want to enable "Developer options". Go to Settings > About device > and then tap on "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer options.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After that go back a page and scroll all the way to the bottom to find Developer options. Click that.
Once in Developer options scroll about 3/4 way down to find three entries that say "animation scale". Change all three entries to "0.5x".
Next we need to go to the Playstore and download an app called "Package Disabler Pro". Yes it's 2 dollars and yes you want/need it.
Before running the app download the .XML file I have attached to this post called "XDA.xml". Now go ahead and open the app and let it load. Next click the three dots in the top right and select "Import from xml". Select the xml file you downloaded from the previous step. This will disable some of the pre-installed apps that you don't need. I encourage you to look through this entire list and click on each item that you would never use, this will permanently disable that app from running or appearing in your app drawer. You can easily undo it at any time by clicking the apps name again (taking the check out of the box). Just to let you know I have 33 additional apps disabled other than the ones in the "XDA.xml" file, I have all kinds of stuff disabled that I don't use; gear vr, gear manager for watches, android pay (I use Samsung pay), S-voice (I used google dictation for everything). I really encourage you to go through and get rid of anything in there that you don't use, it will help the phone out a lot. Once you're done reboot the phone.
When the phone boots up go to the "Device maintenance" section of the settings menu. I at first ignored this section as I felt that it was gimmicky an unnecessary, but then realized that it's actually very useful.
First let’s go to "Performance mode". There is a ton of stuff you can do with this, but I am only going to address one of them. Click on "settings" and then "Screen resolution". Change it to 1920x1080 (FHD). You can always change it back if you really need something such as VR, but most of the time you will not be able to tell that there was a change in resolution.
Next go back to Device maintenance and select "RAM". This menu allows you to close out things from RAM that you don't want running. The problem with this is that Linux (Android) prefers to have apps stay in RAM instead of having to reload them each time you open them, so closing them is kind of counterproductive. Not only that but almost everything that you close from this menu will re-enable itself in the next few minutes anyway. This menu, like the "Battery" section, gives you a look at things which are running that you may not know about. I went through this list and uninstalled apps that I didn't even use so that they weren't just hanging around running without me knowing. A lot of the apps on this list were running and I never even opened them to begin with, that kind of bugs me. I got rid of the ones I could and then used Greenify (more on that in a minute) on the others. Any apps on this list that you for sure never opened, need to be added to Greenify (see next section for instructions) because they are running themselves and using resources.
Now for Greenify. Go to the playstore and download the "Greenify" app and follow the instructions to set it up. It takes a few steps to setup but you only have to do it once. Pay attention as some of the steps are a little tricky and they all must be enabled for the app to function properly. Once installed you will use Greenify to hibernate the apps that you found from the previous section (ram manager) that you don't want awake all the time. Some apps just run themselves without asking you first and sit there consuming battery. I would first decide whether you even need that app to begin with and if you do, then go ahead and Greenify it. Something to note here is that if you Greenify an app that NEEDS to stay awake to work, such as a chat program or music apps, they won't work properly. These apps are easy to spot because they have little blue "gcm" icons next to them, so be careful. To add an app to the "Greenify list" (auto hibernation) just hit the + button in the top right to start adding them.
Once you're done with all that, your phone should be flying. It's not even the same phone anymore really. One thing I want to point out is that the Samsung keyboard on Android 6.0 was trash. It was a completely unusable piece of non-working trash. The auto correct couldn't keep up with any reasonable typing speed, so no words would be corrected at all and you would be left with a mess of a paragraph. I solved that with Swiftkey originally, but for some odd reason it was never blazing fast on this phone. It caught every single mistake, but when you were typing there was just enough lag to kind of throw off your typing speed and it looked like crap. I am happy to say that on Android 7.0 the new Samsung keyboard is the best keyboard I have ever used. They FINALLY got it right after all these years. Honestly all of their keyboards have sucked. They could never seem to get them right, whether it was lag or just plain non-functioning auto correct, it was always something. This one is perfect and if you're using Swiftkey I would uninstall it as it continually reruns itself even when you force close it. It's also a resource hog, so if you don't need it, get rid of it.
There is it, you should be good to go with these small adjustments. A lot of you don't even have 7.0 yet, but when you do at least you will have a head start. There is nothing worse than paying $800 for the latest smartphone only for it to be a laggy mess. Hopefully this helps somewhat with that problem.
Good advice. I just got my S7E the other day. I was (am) so disappointed there is no root for this device. My other android is a note 4 and there is a huge development community, so that's what I've been used to for the past 2 years. I'm missing little things that you can do with root... Ad away for 1, and honestly 3minit battery and 3minit clock. Like I said little things.
And to be honest, the S7E doesn't feel "that" much faster than my Note 4. Which has got me scratching my head. It's faster but not the night and day difference I expected.
Well I look forward to nougat. And using these tips. Thanks!

I've disabled animations and disabled or removed bloat apps for years. I find I have to do a complete reset every couple weeks or so since being on beta. It gets HORRIBLE lag that no amount of cache clearing fixes.
PDP can actually ruin battery life as dependent apps are constantly running, searching for and not finding other apps they're tied to.

My phone has been amazingly smooth for 2 weeks now, night and day difference. I agree, if you get carried away with disabling packages it can be counter productive. I've gone through and just disabled anything I didn't recognize, like 200 things disabled LOL Yea getting carried away with that program can cause some serious problems. I only disable things that are clearly apps that I wouldn't use and a couple others that I know for certain are insane battery hogs like the tmobile carrier IQ service that logs your every action (I forget the name at the moment but it's disabled in my XDA.xml).

Force the app, and clear it's cache and data before disabling it. I was ready to deal with the root issues to Uninstaller a bunch of apps when PDP failed to extend my battery life, but someone in another thread suggested cleaning the app and it worked wonders for me.

Guide updated to add Greenify section, remove redundant and (non useful) section, and new XDA.xml app uploaded.
I think using (a) Package Disabler is maybe one of the most important steps! Including a pre-done .xml to help people disable bloat is fantastic. GREAT JOB! Thanks given!

is there a difference if I just go into setting, applications and just disabling the app from there? is the app necessary ?

You can't disable services with the in OS settings, only applications and not system applications.

Sounds like the right thing to do, but since we have no real backup of our ROM, what does one do if the changes made by this app are not to the liking of the user? How can this process be reverted back to prior of the making of these changes?
Not sure how many of you are aware, but there is a completely different user interface built into the Note5 that's hidden. I thought maybe some of you might like to check it out just for fun. It allows you to place widgets and apps on the lockscreen and has a bunch of cool lockscreen effects. Also, the "notifications panel" and the "recents" page are totally different, as well as many other interesting features. I added some screenshots for you guys to check out in this post.
Here are the steps to activating it:
1) First, anytime you're playing around with the SystemUI, even if it's a built in feature, it's a good idea to do a full system backup in TWRP. Not necessary, but recommended.
2) Next, you will need to have the Galaxy Apps store installed on your device. If you happened to have deleted it like I did, then I've attached the APK to this post for anyone that needs to reinstall it.
3) Open the Galaxy Apps store and update it if/when it prompts you.
4) Once the store has loaded, search for the words "Good Lock". Click on the app and click "Update", then "Install" and reboot the device when it prompts you.
(This is the hidden SystemUI that you already have on your device, but it needs the current update to work.)
5) Once rebooted into the new SystemUI, it will begin walking you through all of your new customization options. You can change any of these anytime you want by opening the "Good Lock" app in your applications list.
NOTE: If you decide that you want to deactivate the alternate SystemUI at any point, then you can just open up the "Good Lock" app and click on "Uninstall" too. You can also uninstall the Galaxy Apps store at any time and features like the new "Recents" page, if you don't like it, can be toggled off in the app as well.
Anyhow, I hope you guys have some fun with this. I'm trying it out for awhile just for kicks. Be sure to let everyone know what you thought of the new SystemUI in the comments too!
Just installed this running N5 Express ROM with no issues yet. Really like being able to have Tasker widget shortcuts on the lockscreen.

That's a really good idea. Been trying to think of a more useful widget to use on the lock screen. So far I've only added a fancy clock/weather widget. [emoji14] Maybe I'll give it a try.
Cool cant wait to try it out!

TWRP is mentioned for backing up your current configuration of TouchWiz(and your device in general) if you can before using Good Lock in case anything goes wrong. Obviously backing up your device is never required, but definitely always recommended when altering the system in any way, regardless of where it comes from. It's important to understand that Good Lock isn't just some Samsung app in the app store or just another launcher that changes the home screen, apps page, etc. It tweaks the system ui itself, including the look and function of the notifications panel, lock screen capabilities and more. It's true that you can just revert back to TW whenever you want pretty easily from within Good Lock, but the process isn't perfect. In fact, I myself applied it and reverted back only 2 times and the second time something went terribly wrong during the reversion and the system halted and it would no longer boot after that, so I had to restore a previous backup which I was glad to have had. All the data that I hadn't recently backed up though was of course lost, so yes...a TWRP backup is recommended when using Good Lock.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that if you're not running a compatible version of the stock firmware or at least a compatible TouchWiz rom, it will try to prevent you from installing it by not showing it in an app store search or by blocking access to the app's page(if you're following a link) in the Galaxy Apps store. For instance, it was there when I was on stock Marshmallow, but does not allow me to access it on stock Nougat. Instead I get error messages saying the app is not supported on my device when trying to load the Good Lock page.
Here is the link btw in case anyone can't find Good Lock in a search and wants to check if it can be used on their device. If it shows it, then it's compatible, if it doesn't then it's likely not. Just open the link in a mobile browser and click "OK" if prompted.

WTF dude? Seriously. Stop being an ass and actually read what I wrote. It's the least you can do after I typed all that out. You're not helping anyone by TROLLING this thread and repeatedly mentioning something so extremely redundant. If you don't want to backup then don't backup. I clearly said that it was obviously not required to do a backup and that I was only recommending to do it because I lost data and couldn't boot after selecting the option to revert back one time. Stop wasting people's time with your pointless comments. NOWHERE does it say in my post that making a backup is Required, so get over yourself. Either stop being a destructive ass or go and troll someone else! Your negative comments are not welcome here.
Hello there,
after updating to c.61 eu my stock camera app from op disappeared and I have no clue how to get it back without a total factory reset. I hoped this missing app will change with the update to c.62, but... no.
I already tried to install the stock camera apk from several sites, but up till now no luck at all.
Did you have an idea? Maybe via fastboot comands?
Best
Exact same problem, for now I'm using GCam Mod as an alternative but it's really frustrating and it lacks quite some stuff from the stock camera.
Updated to C62 too (and I also used full ZIP to do so), still camera missing :/

If you Came from A11 11.2.10.10 and updated without unhiding your apps this is why. Launcher and route to hide apps is different from A11 to 12. Rehide after update. And yes factory reset is only way your gonna get cam back.
@mattie_49: I was already on c.47 and everything was fine I did not understand what you mean by hiding apps. Can you clearify it somehow?
Unfortunately I never hid my apps, I don't think that's the cause. The camera app doesn't show up in the system apps list, and I noticed that the calculator is missing too for whatever reason, seems like there is some issue with system apps. One thing I noticed is when trying to shoot in 4K with the Gcam Mod it crashes and it leaves a log in the download folder where it says Camera HAL package not found, but it could just be an issue of compatibility with Gcam and this specific phone. Still trying to find a solution as there is such a huge difference between the stock camera and Gcam.
Could someone please upload the APK for the camera app either from C48 or if you have it on C61/C62? I'd be really grateful, perhaps the APKs online are just from different imcompatible models
I'm on the same boat guys... Cam app is missing after update from C48 to c62.
Update : I've been diging and it looks like it's gone for good. It's not in, hidden app, button shortcut are not working and adb shell cmd package install-existing com.oplus.camera is without effect.
Tell me I don't have to do a factory reset....
I fear you have to....up till now I was not able to get it back...if somebody know it better and could give and it would be great
I have spent a big amount of time searching and the only solutions seem
1) Factory reset (atleast from what a user claimed, although he might have been affected by the whole hiding apps thing)
2) Possibly try to install again the same update over using the local update method (haven't been able to test it).
I still think that if somebody would be so kind to share the APK from a working system we could try to install it, but so far nobody chimed in. Also I tried multiple times just for the sake of it to turn on and off privacy features (I never used them in the first place), and the app isn't there either, just like it doesn't show up in the app list.
I'm using this as a temporary workaround, but it's not as great.

Thank you so much! At first trying to install it would give INSTALL_FAILED_TEST_ONLY, however using "adb install -t name.apk" managed to install it. That said when you open it it immediately crashes like other apps I've tried from APK mirror, I'm on EU device and only have C62 as latest version but I don't really think the issue is that your camera build is from a newer build, although if anyone wants to share a C62 APK feel free just to rule it out.
adb logcat gave me a bunch of errors when opening the camera app, I attached my logcat here if anyone wants to take a look (although it seems pretty messy, perhaps you'd have better luck logcatting your own).
It really feels like for whatever reason OnePlus messed something up with these updates (and I guess only for some people, could be only on EU devices), either forgetting to include some stuff or perhaps for whatever reason something is misconfigured in the /system or /data partitions after updating, and maybe a clean install wouldn't have this issue (or a reinstall of the same update in full ZIP on top)
EDIT: for whatever reason can't upload the logcat :/
Finally found a solution!
After such a long time searching, and not really wanting to do a factory reset, now that OOS13 was out and I still didn't have the camera, I decided to use the .zip from Oxygen Updater to do a second full upgrade (on already updated OOS13), and it restored a lot of the apps and some other stuff that was missing! Yay! (Of course remember to root again before update reboot)
But, the camera force closes as soon as I open it, so I still need to find a fix for that, unless factory reset is the only solution :'(
EDIT: Finally, I feel like starting to cry now, I needed to disable the camera app, enable it again, cancel data and grant all permissions manually before opening it, and it works, I hope this helps out others!
EDIT 2: I was missing calculator, clock and other OnePlus apps, as well as the new OOS13 sidebar, now they're all back, so if you have issues try this!

Thanks for writing this mate! I am having the same problem, no stock camera, no clock. Many icons missing!

This just confirms my theory, whenever installiing a new major version, a total system reset should be made to avoid problems. I installed this thinking it was another 12 update.
Solution for me:
LE2115_11_F16 (Android 13) is here
Hi everyone, Still new to OnePlus and its update/upgrade cycle, so sorry if you already know this, but my 9 just got updated to 2115_11_F16 and Android 13, with the October 2022 security update. That's it, that's the tweet... :) EDIT: it's...
