Hi
Is there any way to stop my phone updating itself. I am looking to block OTA updates on a Standard non rooted Samsung Rom?

Go into your settings, about device, software update. Then disable the auto update option. Done.
Without root I don't think you really can.

Download SuperLock Package disabler from the Play Store. I disable whatever - NOT rooted.

Ratings of the package are poor to bad for users of many Samsung models.

Or are you using a different package? I don't need this, but know of a few who don't want to root that do.

That's exactly what I use, but the pro model.
Most of the negative reviews are because you have to pay. I'm not really sure what else there is to it: it disables apps like it says.
Zero issues.

Doesn't work, License server error before program starts.
Also very dangerous tool as it needs internet to work.
If you by misstake disable something that has to do with connectivity you will end up having to do a factory restore !!
If you by misstake installed this crap onto your device, you might notice that the de-install option is greyed out, don't panic.
Go into the security section and de-select the app under device administrators.
Now it can be de-installed.
Here's a much better and SAFER alternative:

BTW,
These are the 3 packages that i needed to disable to kill OTA on my S5 with KitKat 4.4.2:

com.sec.android.fotaclient com.policydm

So I was given this Gear 2 pre-production unit to play with, but Tizen is completely new to me and I can't get rid of this diagnostic screen. It's kind of cool to come across it, but it's useless as a device as is. Obviously I cant odin it back to stock, and I doubt it's useful like a pre-production Galaxy S5 might be, but any idea's what can be done with it?
edit: took the original photo down in case there are any IP issues that could be a prob.. Putting a blurry one up for the thread

Before you do anything, you may wanna get in touch with a dev to see if that build has root enabled!

Do you have the SDK installed? If so I would like to have you run a few commands to see what we can do with it. PM me or reply!

Not for Tizen yet but I can download it when I'm home.

Let me know when you do. I got a few things we can try. Hopefully we can dump the kernel/bootloaders where I have failed with a production device. This may get us closer to getting root access.

I had quite same issues but after rooting my device, i Debloated most of the unwanted system apps (approx 1GB bloats removed) thru TWRP. Now everything is pretty good. You can try to flash zip modded by me on :

If I'm not wrong, it's downloading or searching for software updates.

I downloaded and wanted to install it inn an attempt to get macro mode and focus tracking. However, on stock oneplus Android 10, install fails saying "app not installed"
Is there a way around this?

I tried yesterday and you can install the app if you use for example appcloner (search on google as its not available on the playstore anymore) , which lets you take the apk file and make a "new" app out of it. This makes the app recognized as a new app by the system instead of replacing the system app. However, the cloned app did not work for me and crashed everytime I tried to open it. so i dont think that version is compatible with with the official build of android 10. Maybe someone else have any other suggestions or you could try
This is BEYOND frustrating. Why one earth would they take this feature out. I mean, for crying out loud, the 7 pro is their flagship but a 100 dollar cheaper phone has more features?? Smh
if you rooted, that's easy. I also installed it myself because of that feature.

Macro mode uses hardware so it won't work on the 7 pro even if you get the software working.

Just use telephoto lens and get close to subject and it will auto focus

Root guide on this forum. Very easy. Unlock bootloader first. Then fastboot TWRP to flash Magisk, for flash patched boot image.
For install this camera with root, you must copy & replace the apk in system/priv-app, then wipe dalvik-cache.
Or just use zoom feature on Photo. Photo it's resized to 1980x.. This it's a small picture 1,5cm x 1,5cm on a laptop.

Hi!
I'm having problems with the OTA updates on my phone, they won't show up and I guess I'll have to try and install them manually.
My current MIUI version is: 12.0.3.0 (QJKEUXM) (I understand that it's an old verison of the EU rom?)
* The thing is, I'm struggeling to find the incremental updates that I would need to do so. I can only find the latest, full rom file.
* When I do find it, can I update to the latest version right away or do I need to update it in a certain order?
* Is it possible to use the options in the update view (pictures) to install the updates? (I'd preferably avoid TWRP etc if possible.)

Install the latest update with ota. Some users got stuck after upgrades, the safest solution are Miflash or TWRP, but this requires unlocking the phone.
Thanks for the reply!
But how am I supposed to install them via OTA when they won't show up?
(BTW, nice with a fellow MotoGP fan ^^ )

Hi all,
for about 3 months now after upgrading to MIUI 14 I am missing the music controls on the lock screen. (Stop music/next song/back)
I did everything possible: turned on all notification and gave permissions for all to YouTube Music .
nothing solved my problem, I even sent youtube developers an email (still no response), I deleted the app and installed again, I tried installing the app from older APKs from different sources .
Anyone having this issue ? I am close to selling the device for this disability .

These roms have play store certified.
I've been using them for many years with no problems.
My banking application as well as the means of payment require double authorization, in particular my fingerprint and it works perfectly.
If you want to be certain register on the site and ask the specific question to your apps.
