Have disabled almost 15 stock apps on my non-rooted Nexus 5. Would a System update go wrong when done without enabling those apps?
Probably a noob question, but had to ask since official Android L 5.0 update is around the corner
When updated from 4.4 to 4.4.4 I've disabled some system apps too. But it doesn't make a problem, all works fine.
OTA fails if you modify system. Disabling apps is not modifying system. System cannot be modified without root.
I am running 4.4.4, and would like to stay that way, I got the notification today about the system update to Lollipop. I've been tapping "No thanks" whenever it pops up, but obviously I would like someway to disable it altogether so I don't need to keep tapping that.
Any suggestions?
Kitkat has far worst memory issues than Lollipop, so I don't know why you decide not to upgrade.
Anyway,
Go to Options -> Apps -> All -> Search for Motorola OTA -> Click Disable
Then you won't get any notifications for the update.

I went to Settings, Apps, All, and do not have an entry for Motorola OTA. The only Motorola apps listed are
Motorola Services Main
Motorola Service
Motorola One Time Init
Motorola Notificaton
Motorola ID
Motorola DriveActivator
Motorola Contextual Services
Motorola Checkin
Motorola Boot Services
Motorola Assist Framework
I tried downloading FOTAKill.zip and flashing that in TWRP, still got the update notification. I tried downloading DisableService in the app store and disabled SystemUpdateServices under Google Play Services, that didn't work. I just tried downloading FOTAKill.apk and copying it to /system/app, we'll see if that works.

Constant OTA downloads
I have XT1032 with 5.1 GPE optimized v1.1
For a month data usage eats up my whole plan. I suspect it's the OTA update it downloads over and over again, since it says 7.6MB, and Android OS reports such increases, sometimes multiple times a day.
Does the above link work for this version? Do I just install it within the GUI, or copy it somewhere from within recovery?
Hello
I bought the phone because it is compatible with a medical app. This app only works with Android 9. If my phone upgrades to Android 10 the app will not work anymore.
I just got the notification that a the new version of Android 10 is available to install.
What steps I took so far:
1. I have disabled the Auto download over wifi option.
2. From developer options I disabled the Auto update system (Apply updates when the phone restarts.)
The notification disappeared for now when I chose to remind me later.
What other steps I need to take to be sure it wont upgrade?
Is there an app I can install to block this?
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
Greetings
My phone is bound to update in 12 hours, Is there a way to stop this
I look in App list showing system files couldn't find anything
help me stop the update before its upgraded to OOS12
Go to about phone, version/build number and tap on it for about 7 times, search developer settings and find install updates on restart and disable it.
