[Q] Remove System Upgrade notifiction

I am happily running lolipop 5.0.2 but I have an annoying system upgrade notification icon sitting on the status that I can't make go away.
I have software updates set to 'Do not update automatically'
I've tried 3C Toolkit and unchecked the system update service in Google Play Framework as well as Do not display notifications for Google Play Services not neither works.
Any suggestions as to how I can remove the icon and notification please?

what app is that? There is an UpdateCenter.apk at the address yo-u mention but in TB the only update center mentioned is the update service, no app. What am I supposed to uninstall?

reboot after uninstall

Easiest way is to simply install Autostarts off f-droid-(free apk not on play store). It has two options. By name or by action. Using both, disable whatever you want. I uninstall myexperia using Amaze file manager and simply disable updater. Though uninstalling it too wouldn't hurt either.

I need the system launcher apk of MIUI 9.6.4.0 please..

I have installed the Poco launcher apk and it replaced the system launcher but it has some bugs so I want to get back to the original launcher, could someone upload please? Thanks in advance

Download it from apkmirror

Just install ES File Explorer, go from it to apps, system apps and select System Launcher, properties, it would take you to its settings, uninstall updates and you are good to go..

Just search the app in the setting and uninstall updates, will work for you.

Go to settings then, installed apps and in that search for system launcher and do the uninstall updates.

Phone settings, installed applications, launcher system. Uninstall update, delete data. Restart the device.

Settings app stopping again and again.

Hi everyone.
Running stock OP6 latest update.
Installed settings app from apk mirror and now the same won't open up instead keeps stopping again and again.
Since it won't open I can't uninstall it.
Anyone has a clue what to do about it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit. Same happening with dialer and contacts app.
Both updated through apk mirror.
Although Camera, Gallery and Files app work perfectly fine.
Anyone with an answer?
How to revert back to previous app version?
Edit : Finally had to reset my device and things settled. Although all my data is gone.
I suppose just too bad for me.
But I'm facing a pesky issue.
The files app shows no data but my gallery is picking up old garbage even after wiping the device clean. (Foolish of me not backing up the data)
PS I used the hard reset if anyone's wondering using the device's stock recovery.
I'll share the screenshot of the same..
Kindly suggest what's wrong with this..

i think u can uninstall app from the app drawer. long press the settings icon , and click uninstall if the options is available. if it isn't , u can re flash the whole rom by dirty flashing it. it shouldn't wipe the data.

As Azhar_Fahry mentioned, you can uninstall an app / app update from app drawer.
1. Tap and hold to get the options
2 (if OP launcer is updated), drag the icon to top (from app drawer) and you can select app info and then uninstall updates.
Alternatively,
You can install Link2SD and uninstall app / app updates from there.

Again system apps can't be uninstalled normally.
Secondly I'm not rooted to used link2SD.
I think need to dirty flash my phone.

System apps cannot be uninstalled if not rooted, but you can uninstall updates installed from play store or any external source. (You can reset the system app(s) to Rom default)
Attaching Scrrenshots - Follow from 1-end, click OK at the end. ( I am showing example of gmail, you can use it for any other systrm app too)
Naming screenshots 1-2-3-4-5 according to steps.

Uninstall updates to the settings app maybe. But if not dirty flashing the ROM will work

Note:
This app is one of the system app of Aosp, RR, Omni Os, dotOs and etc. ROMs, it may not work on all versions of Android.
If you encounter an error during installation, you must uninstall the previous version
and sorry for my bad English
Hamid from Iran
edit : files removed and u can download new updates from here

Thanks

I've been trying to update omnijaws. It doesn't update, so I've been trying to uninstall it, without success - with warden, titanium, system app remover and link2sd. All them fail to uninstall. So now I can't update it, not even have access to the one installed on my phone.
Someone can give me some help with this?

you need root access for uninstall previous versions

Thanks for the update.
One question:
Where to install it? Wich folder?
Thanks in advance.

1-download the attached apk file
2-install it.
If it does not install, you will need to uninstall the previous version and try again.
(This operation requires root access)

I'm in a rom that doesn't have omnijaws, and have installed your app. All working good. Thank you
There's some way that put it to show on lockscreen?
And there's a way to install other icon pack? I've tried downloading one, but it doesn't show on the app.

Yes from this way settings > extensions > lockscreen > lockscreen ui , you can enable it. And for icon pack you can search the Chronus icon and install it.

With Android 10 (crDroid 6.10) it doesn't work, the default launcher crashes. After a long search I've found the OmniJaws app 1.09 from here. It has a lot of weather providers and runs fine. The default OmniJaws app 1.0 has stopped to work since yesterday. You can easily update without uninstalling the standard app.

In order to prevent launcher crash don't use @Hamidltf 's APKs in the 1st message! Finally, @Nobby1960 's solution saved my phone from launcher-crash after the installation. imho, the first message should be edited with the latest OmniJaws APK: https://github.com/vladrevers/OmniJaws/releases

yep. i just updated api weather in old version . thanks for your replay.

Hi, running crDroid 11 on Pixel 5 and the linked OmniJAWS is not installing for me. I first tried installing 1.09 on top of 1.0 then uninstalled 1.0 and installed 1.09 but it's refusing to install. Any tips? Thanks!

It is not retrieving location and the last update time stays disabled any fix already tried clearing cache and storage still no luck!?

Stock camera apk for Find X2 Pro

I messed up my camera by using an APK form apkmirror.com. Probably i choosed a non compatible camera. Stupid idea.
I tried them all by now and stil the camera is not working. It goes as far as the permissions for location, but then it crashes.
I really hope that someone can provide me a link for the stock camera APK for the Find X2 Pro (ColorOS 11).
Thanks in advance !

Try this : open camera app properties and check if you have an option to uninstall the updates.
Otherwise, factory reset of the phone should revert to stock app.

Thanks for your tips. !
I had tried the 'Uninstall updates' option already, but it isn't there unfortunately.
The factory reset is an option i want to avoid for now. Maybe later.
