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.
Now on Oreo, of the couples of apps I sideloaded, when prompted for new updates, it would download the update, but the point it's supposed to install the update, it would abort and go back to the main Android TV launcher menu. Is there anything in the Settings I need to update to allow for sideloaded apps to update? Thank you!
So my w200A NEVER used to automatically install system updates. I could flash any version and I would get a notification that there was an update but i just ignored these notifications. Flashed multiple times and never once did it install system updates automatically.
Well I accidentally hit the power button during a notification while leaning on a table the other day and it installed the system update.
I thought OK, no problem I'll just flash back again to a previous build.
Now when I flash back to any previous builds it automatically downloads and automatically installs system updates without any notification or authorization from me. I've flashed multiple builds to test ( 1.5, Korean 1.5, preview 2.0, Original ATT OTA 2.0) they all now automatically install system updates without my authorization. This happens with ANY data connection, wifi, bluetooth, mobile data.
So my questions is, what changed so that it is now automatically installing system updates without my authorization ?
PS ( my reason for not using latest OTA is standalone GPS issues)
Thanks
After a bunch of trial and error with my Urbane 2 the following single adb command stopped system updates and also stopped system update notifications.
My steps:
1. I flashed 1.5, let it bootup. Then I side loaded the Korean 2.0 OTA zip NXH20E. ( * after 2.0 fully installed I went into stock recovery and did a factory reset, probably not necessary, but I always do it anyhow)
2. Rooted and installed super user. ( I just booted custom recovery I didn't flash it - not sure if this made a difference but that's what I did) I used this SU > https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73572631&postcount=7
3. This is the ONLY adb disable command I did:
adb shell
su
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService
4. That's it, it stopped updating and also no system update notifications. Its been 4 days now. And most importantly to me, my standalone GPS is back to working properly.

Can you post up the file for AW 1.5?
I can't seem to find it anywhere and I'd love to go back. I tried the thread in the other forum, but the link is dead.
Thanks!

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?
I downloaded a android system update in my samsung galaxy a12, paused it, then saw that I need to restart my phone for the google play system update. I did the google play system update first so I restart my phone. But now I'm worried that restarting my phone while having a paused download system update might cause me trouble, do I have anything to worry? After restarting for the google play system update I continued with the main system update. I thought having the option to pause downloading the system update it's okay to restart, because downloading and installing the main system update is kind of a seperate thing. I thought that the sensitive part which I'm not allowed to restart my phone now only happens when installing the main system update. But is it really like this or not?
