Fairly new to all of this and maybe im not doing something right but i was wondering how can i have my apps do an auto update? Seems to be that only time any of my apps update is when i download a new app, is this really the only way for already installed apps to update? Im running the latest fresh ROM if that has anything to do with it.
anyone????
You have to start your market program...
I have found you have to start your Market App and then check the downloads section in order to get the program to find out if you need any updates, then you usually have the option to update all (when possible, it cant update a program automatically if the permissions have changed...)
Hope that helps...
AppBrain will automatically download and install the apps you tell it to.
I've been looking at the APKMirror site and notice there are numerous updated Google apps which appear to be later versions of the stock versions. E.g. there are higher versions to Google Play Store and Google Play Services to which I currently have (Marshmallow 6.0 MRA58N). Am I safe to assume that installing these more recent versions will be of benefit? I also assume it's likely these apps will be updated with the next release of Marshmallow.
Lastly would installing these more recent Google apps interfere with future OTA updates?

There are multiple misunderstandings in your post.
1. The APK Mirror links are safe to install, assuming you grab the correct ones. For instance, with Play Services, you need the 438 build with the N5 on Marshmallow.
2. Google will push these updates to your phone automatically, given enough time. You will never see update prompts for Play Store/Services, but they still update. You will see updates for the other Google apps.
3. The apps may or may not be updated with the next version of Android. I mean, Android will force an update to them, but the OTA may or may not have them included. I'll say no to this question.
3. Will installing them be of benefit? No. It's generally not dangerous either, though.
4. Does not interfere with OTA updates, as they are put on /data partition, not /system, where the OTA installs.
When my Oneplus 6 upgraded to Pie, I hated the new horizontal recent apps switcher, so I found this article detailing how to revert to vertical. I saw in update logs that the new app switcher has been optimized and improved especially for gesture navigation. I decided I might as well give it another try. I downloaded the latest version of Oneplus Launcher from APK mirror, but when I tried to install, it said "App not installed." What do I have to do in order to get the Launcher to update? I'm on a Oneplus 6 running OOS 9.0.2, rooted with Magisk. OnePlus Launcher version 2.5.1.180803161901.ff750b1 is installed alongside the latest Nova Launcher. If I try installing any version of OnePlus Launcher past 2.5.1.180803161901.ff750b1, it says app not installed. I have Titanium Backup installed if that could be used to fix anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Infixed it with a dirty flash of the ROM. I always have it on the phone in case I mess something up.
While your at it I might just aswell update to newest firmware.
I'm about to upgrade to 9.0.3. Would that do the trick?

Try uninstalling updates on the launcher through app settings?
Or
Install any launcher (Nova) and install App Remover from play store. Developer is jumobile. You must be rooted. This will allow you to uninstall system apps that are otherwise unable to uninstall. Uninstall OnePlus launcher, reboot phone and then install your app.

There is no uninstall updates button for OnePlus Launcher in settings.
Uninstalled with Titanium Backup and successfully installed the latest apk. Unfortunately, now the multitasking view is broken. If I open it, sometimes it says "No recent items" and other times I get a error message that "OnePlus Launcher keeps crashing"
Restored the backup I made of the downgraded OnePlus Launcher I had so I have a multitasking screen again. Guess I should have made a backup of the original OnePlus launcher before I downgraded...
Launcher still will not update.
I've had an idea. Could someone with Titanium backup make a backup of the latest OnePlus Launcher and a Backup of OnePlus Launcher with updates uninstalled, then post the files?

Boot TWRP with 9.0.3 and twrp zip on a USB otg. Or with it downloaded on a computer. Format data. (The one that makes you type yes)
If on a USB otg, go to install and select your USB storage and install 9.0.3 add zip to que and select TWRP. Reboot TWRP and repeat.
If no USB otg make sure you're connected to a computer and transfer over the mentioned files and undergo that process. This should put you on a clean slate and maybe you can get the launcher your want
Fixed with a data wipe and fresh ROM flash.
My Honor v8 is rooted. Current version is KNT-AL20C00B391, and there's a new version KNT-AL20C00B397. It seems that the official system update package is not supported by TWRP recovery. But it will notify me to update the system every day.
1. How can I stop the system update notify?
2. Can I modify the system version to cheat the system, if I can't stop the notify.
3. Is there any recovery that can support the official system update package.
4. Can I update the system manually? I want to unzip the update package and replace files. But I don't want to reinstall, my data will lost.
Please tell me a way to stop the notify. Thank you!
Hello, just unroot and update, no?

Will the data be lost, if I unroot and update? And now I know that the notification is limited to 30 times, so I don't want to update.
What I did was use titanium backup to freeze the native update app.
Hi everyone. I'm currently on Android 10 and unfortunately I inadvertently clicked the update from the notifications - I haven't clicked the prompt to "OK" which is saying my phone will be unrooted after updating, and I immediately force closed it and restarted my phone.
I understand Android 11 is still full of bugs and does not yet support TWRP so I don't want to update yet.
I also disabled automatic system updates via my developer options.
I also froze the following via Titanium: dynamic system updates 10, system update 2.1.3 and system updates 3.0.5.
1) Is it safe to freeze those three apps?
2) Have I done enough to prevent my phone from downloading the system update to Android 11?
Thank you
