im sure you "could" uninstall it, but i would be afraid of some crashing in the g+ app because they are linked together.
try freezing it first to see what happens, then if you have a problem it is easy to put back.

No, first opening the terminal, enter only su
Then terminal emulator is granted root access, thEn type the rest of the command.
**your device needs to bee ROOTED in first place**

Okay, install Rom Toolbox Pro, then open the app, grant root access, open app manager in it, locate Google+, click on it, swipe to left and select advance freeze, and freeze the activities with the Google+ photos icon in it. Done!!

Ok thanks, it works

Stop new system update, again!

I'm on a rooted nexus 5 running stock kitkat 4.4.4 and xposed framework. I have no wish to update the operating system. I was able to stop the system update notifications in the past by simply disabling 3 receivers :
service:com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ Receiver
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ ActiveReceiver
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ SecretCodeReceiver
This worked for a while, then the system update notification appeared again! This time, to get rid of the notification I needed to use several adb commands:
1. adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver
2. adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
3. adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
4. adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateActivity
5. adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdatePanoActivity
6. adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService
7. adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
8. adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
That worked - for a while..... ?
The notification to update to 5.0.1 has reappeared again. What else should I do to stop it this time?
Appreciate any help.

That's a lot of work. And you're missing out on a bunch of pretty important security updates.

Like it the way it is.

I recommend you installing three apps to disable this fully:
AppOpsXposed
MyAndroidTools
Servicely
In appopsxposed what you need to do is to disable the "wake up" function of google play services as well as other brothers of it (google services framework)
MyAndroidTools
to disable update service simply go to the services tab in it and search for google play services:
On the upper right side click Full/Short button and you should be able to see the full extension file for each services
Search Update$Service and disablle all related services for it (there are 4, policyintent, updaterservice and I forgot the last two)
Servicely is to stop the all in all process and services of Gsm/Gcm which reboots the update service(dont know if this is a leak)
just install it into priv-app and give octal permission 0777 and select google play service and frameworks as a hitlist and you should have no worries about anything.
Let me know when this helped you and please press thanks if it does try it first it wont consume much time

Phantom, you're a life saver. I'll try what you suggest and let you know if it worked.
Thank you.

Also dont forget to disable broadcast receiver for system$update services located in.. Well broadcast receiver haha
Just use myandroidtools
Click broadcast receiver and navigate to system, find gplay services and type in systemupdate, again there are 4 receivers for it disable all of it

OK. I installed all 3 apps.
1. Did the appOpsXposed part.
2. Have trouble in Myandroidtools. None of the items have Update$Service in them. (No $). I'm attaching a screenshot so you can tell me which 4 to disable.
3. I installed Servicely but, how do I "install it into priv-app" ?
Thank you.

I messed up.
Went to Google play services, clicked on system update (I think, can't remember) which had a checkmark in its select box and now it disappeared!
Help.
(I did a nandroid backup before starting but maybe there a simpler way).

You didn't messed up just relax
It disappeared because it was moved back to queue.
To disable a service and a receiver let me remind you to click the name not the checkbox, if you click the checkbox it will reappear again.
Heres the system update service and receiver i disabled for you and my wakelocks for Gplayservices as well as my partial wakelocks in my N5 with heavy tweaks on my battery life, shown by BBS(better battery stats)
I dont have any wakeups from Gplayservices to be honest
and here is my batt life with some data usage on

Download root explorer or any explorer that can do a read/write(basically almost all of them such as solid explorer)
download the apk for servicely you can find a lot inside the huge cloud of the internet haha
once downloaded copy the servicely apk using the explorer of your choice and navigate to root/system/priv-app and paste it there. Press and hold the apk it should prompt you with many choices, find permissions there and put check on all the boxes for permissions
dont forget that you need to enable r/w or read/write permission first for your explorer or else you wont be able to edit permissions or move an apk file inside the system/priv-app

All done and everything worked. System update gone. Thank you.

Now press the magic button lol

Navigation buttons

Anyone know if it's possible to change the size of the navigation buttons? It's so small for a giant screen like that what has in this phone.
Thanks.

Or, does anyone know how to make them disappear?

adb shell
settings put global navigationbar_is_min 1
This hides the navigation bar while keeping the status bar visible.

Thanks! I'm trying that now. it does seem to have a keyboard issue but I'll see how it goes...

This trick doesn't work anymore on MHA-L29C185B182.
To apply the settings temporarily, the original Huawei Home launcher must be used, and after reboot the phone , navigation bar reapers.
Did you find any alternatives?
Thanks!

Yellow Pages
I used this command - pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.yellowpage - Ran twice to make sure it was removed.
Yellow Pages still show up in dialer. Just press 1 or 0 on keypad.
The stock dialer does not have option to select all to clear call list.
Anyone know of a replacement dialer that does not vacuum all the information from my phone?

Is there any way to completely disable the Zen feature?

I plan on rooting my OnePlus 7 Pro when I get it.
I really don't want to have anyone turn Zen mode on (I don't plan on using it at all). It's pretty stupid that OnePlus didn't require authentication before entering Zen Mode (so you'd have to authenticate before Zen actually locks your phone down). Since they didn't do that, did anyone make a mod (magisk or otherwise) which completely nukes the feature?

i'll make one if u want to try it out

I'd love to, although I won't be receiving the 7 Pro for another week probably, I gotta get it forwarded from the US.
I really want that thing disabled. Ideally in a Magisk module or just generally something that won't break SafetyNet (because I use Google Pay)

no prob i'll get it ready

Thank you! I'd recommend making a post on the mods section and linking it here, rather than just giving me the zip, so that everyone could enjoy preventing their friends from bricking their phones!
Plus, if it's a Magisk mod, we can just use the built in applock to secure Magisk, and BAM! Phone secured!

I will also send u a link in PM just in case this thread gets lost by the time u get ur phone.

Judging by this conversation, I assume that it's just a system app then? I just don't know because I don't have my OP7P yet.

you need an app like "app inspector" or "package name viewer" something that can get you the full name of the folder of the apk.
once you do that
in windows adb with usb debugging on
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.whatever.whatever
and then to enable again
adb shell pm enable <package_to_enable>

deleted

I did that using adb, but instead of disable i uninstalled it.

I just froze it in TiBackup

Same here, Froze it with TB...

I tried to do it through termux with magisk module debloater(termux emulator) but couldn't find it looked through all sections but it's not in there any ideas?
