Yes, I know I could just install a custom ROM. But I'm just looking for the quick fix. I heard the latest OTA breaks root and makes it harder to root or impossible. Just want to get rid of the notifications for now.
Alternatively, does anyone have the build.prop from the OTA that I could just copy over so the phone thinks it's updated?
It requires more than just a build.prop edit.

What is this, a secret society? If I need to do more than modify the build.prop, then what is it? Would you like me to rephrase the question?
You asked what to modify in the build.prop. I answered your question. No need for the smart alec secret society comment. This is a pretty chill group of people that will do anything for anybody. I for one take that kind of stuff personal and would generally not help out, but I'll be nice this time around.
You have to update, modify the boot.img, modify the update apk, or you can delete the Update apk and lose bluetooth.

Ok, so you're saying that if I want to go back to Derap 1.1 all I have to do is delete the updat.apk but I'll lose BT? I don't have to modify boot.img and update.apk just delete update.apk? I'm cool with losing BT, I don't use it.
I really appreciate the work you are doing MT. I just like the stock themed ROM like what was in Decrap a little better than the green.
Keep up the work though I may come back to Revolt yet! You said you were working on a more stock themed ROM is that still going to happen?

I am working on it, the fun part is working around bing. They have not only integrated it into the system but it is forced into lghome also. I may work on it some more tonight. I have got to work on some bug fixes on revolt then I may move over to the new.
MobileUpdateClient.apk is the exact apk. Delete it and no more updates!

Thanks! Bluetooth isn't a big deal.
Since renaming MobileUpdateClient.apk to .bak it looks like I'm going to get a serious boost in battery life. Since doing this, 3 hours ago, I've only lost 5% of battery. I would usually lose around 10% every hour. Maybe BT has something to do with poor battery life on this phone? I don't know, but it's worth looking into. I hope it's the case.
On a side note, you may want to reboot after update, or do what I did and try to enable BT. When you try to enable BT it will act like it resets the phone sort of like a soft boot. Phone feels lighter too....lol jk.
Sorry if this has been mentioned already but my search didn't find any results. I am just wondering if adobe flash is compatible with ICS on the bionic. With adobe giving up on mobile flash, I'm hesitant about upgrading to ICS because having flash is important to me for watching online videos. I understand many video sites are going towards html5, but not all of them are. If anyone could confirm if flash is working or not on the leaks, it would be appreciated.

I know that Adobe Flash will still install from the market so I would assume any browser needing flash will work. Although the Chrome browser does not use flash. Also, YouTube works fine.

Flash is hit or miss. I didn't have any problems on the early ICS leaks, but a lot of people did. I'm on 235 now, and I can watch flash but not in full screen mode.
Flash doesn't work at all for me after updating but some people claim that factory resetting fixes it, I haven't tried myself. I'm also still on 229 so functionality may have changed in the newer versions.
Thanks for the help guys. That kind of sucks. I hope google wakes up and releases some version of flash.

That's not going to happen. Google has been one of the leaders in the push for HTML5 which makes flash obsolete.
As an FYI, 238 is out. Samuri has a link at DF.

Until justin.tv stops using flash, it won't be obsolete to me lol. It's the only place I have where I can go to bed watching old school episodes of the Simpsons without having to put one of my DVDs in.

I can't install the .apk. I've had this problem before with my old Atrix 2. Usually a reboot would fix the issue but this time, no dice. And its not the .apk file as I tried it with files I've already installed. When I hit 'install' nothing happens. I did a quick search and I think this may be common among Motorola devices?
I probably should start a separate thread.
ETA: It was the screen adjuster that was blocking it. I found the solution.

is it better than the standard swype pre installed ?
I've never been a fan of Swype but this keyboard is pretty cool. Seems a lot more responsive than regular Swype. Some pretty nice features in 4.2. Not gonna bother with the clock, though. The circles are a nice touch.
To anyone that is having problems: make sure to move both the original LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex from /system/app.

I wasn't able to use it by just the apk . was always giving keyboard has stopped working . However managed to make it work by adding the required .so in lib .
Guys, can anyone point me to a link where I can access the stock file manager APK for the Atrix HD?
I see that there was some pushy requests for this in the Atrix HD Root thread. I am NOT that guy. I would however like to give this a shot on an XT926 . Side loading the filemanager apk would be a good place to start, but I don't believe it will work anyway.

Well, got nowhere with that one. Tried to change the prereq's and side load into my Razr HD. After botching my stock FM, I was able to get it to take it. It would start, but after attempting any of the choices it would crash. Haven't made any progress, time to move on.
I really appreciate your help with the file.
Back to the drawing board.....
I'm on stock Kit Kat for my sprint S4. I noticed that now when I wirelessly charge my phone it gets extremely hot. Also one it gets to 94% it stops charging. Not sure of it stops due to heat or the new software doesn't like to do wireless charging. I have an aftermarket qi charger and peice for my phone. They worked perfect until I updated last week . Is anyone else having this problem. The other thing I noticed is Google hangouts emoticons when entered in a chat come out looking diffrent. Looks like Samsung emoticons. I checked this on my wife's note 3 after updating to stock kit Kat and the emoticon icon disappeared. So not sure if this is another issue with it may and Samsung phones.

Don't know much about charging...but did see in another post that some of the parts of NAE(4.4) are written differently than MJA..MK2(4.3) so maybe that's why???

This is not an issue, it is a new security policy implemented by Google in Kit Kat. You can add a line to platform.xml and return functionality. But it is not a bug, Google did it on purpose.
Culprit maybe the charger I've got 2 out of 4 that will not charge my phone and they are all Samsung chargers. I think some are just temperamental.

Couple of issues
Sometimes i get an error on the oem clock/weather widget that says "restart widget" Then it is fine again. Also if i am on wi-fi the voicemail app will not connect and download the voicemail if one is waiting. Once it gets to good signal and isnt using wi-fi then the message comes through.

Do you have a modified platform.xml, or can you tell me the line to add.me and root explorer aren't getting along right now.root browser in rom tool box works good, but I prefer the layout of root explorer.

You need to go to platform.xml in the system/etc/permissions folder with root explorer. Open it with a text editor. Look for the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission line and add this line under the 2 permissions that are already listed. Follow the same formatting as the other permissions.
Add this: <group gid="media_rw" />
Save and exit, then reboot your phone. It's a good idea to back up the file before editing which root explorer should automatically do for you. Good luck.

how?
I have checked several times, and my sprint galaxy s4 is "up to date" but im still on JB. Could this be due too the fact that i bricked my phone and had to use odin on my pc to basically wipe everything including root? But i dont see that being the problem since i stayed on stock while i was rooted. I just rooted for the hotspot mod for mk2
In find that Samsung wires for charger breaks fast..I change both my wife wire to another and works fine...KitKat update the best..no issues except for transition animation bug is still there.. After a few times opening camera it defaults back to 0 when I had it set to .5...great battery snappier less ram..consumption...my phone doesn't get as hot anymore...

It takes over a month for everyone to receive the OTA, be patient and you will get it. Also, if you still have the hotspot mod, the ota will fail so you need to Odin the stock mk2 tar again.

Yes, turn it on, and if it works you still have it. If it nags you about paying for it then you don't.
