I've got european 64bit HTC Desire with the ROM from T-Mobile.
Already rooted, elaborately customized - seemed with this I can easily wait for some dev's 64bit ROM from xda-developers wich I'd eagerly install in my device.
Hower the problem occured: the COMPULSORY OTA UPDATE!
The persistent item in the task bar (often popping up on the main screen) is shouting:
"System update available
Tap to download the system update"
Indeed compulsory, the nagging reminder is hard to ignore and impossible to switch off!
I feel happy with the version I have and there seems no need to update - the more, automatic update obliterate all my complicated customizations made with some effort.

Lmao it's not that hard to stop! Use a app freezer or stopper and look for something called updater and freeze it. Problem solved.
or just idk update?

There really is no reason to do that because the roms are not built with the latest updates so if you update you're wasting your time because when you flash a rom you're going to be on whatever version that rom was built on.

With 3C Toolbox Pro I've frozen the system app called "Updater" and it has helped!
Also frozen some other "factory" nagging apps.
HOWEVER - in the notification bar there is another pesky notification: "there is dangerous application installed in your phone: C Toolbox Pro, which can make serious damage to your phone - uninstal it or keep it on your own responsibility" (actual text may differ from this fuzzy quote from my memory).
Indeed, "C Toolbox Pro" I've installed and added it to Xposed as it's module.
What do you think, is "C Toolbox Pro" going to harm a phone?

You should try FOTAKILL.APK
There are downloads for it on this forum and instructions - it is designed for this job alone
Otherwise give me your email by personal message as i haven't posted enough to post a googledrive link ... ill send you a zip with Fotakill in
unzip - download it and place it in :
System/App
Reboot to install
Hope this helps
The update may now flash the wheel in notification bar but it will just go away fast and you will see no window flashing up on main screen interrupting your use.

hello,
how can i install the market enabler?
can somebody help pls
Download from http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
Some guys haven't any will of reading..
i tried that solution but still i can not paid applications.
I installed market enabler via appInstaller by Gregory House
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-iqbs-android-appinstaller-pxEn.aspx
why still i can not see the paid applications?
1. Install and open the Apps Installer application from the "Android Market".
2. This opens a view showing *.apk application names in the sdcard root directory.(note, if no AppNames are listed you have no .apk files in the root directory of the SDCard)
3. Touch the app name to initiate installation of the app.
4. The app is now installed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. You must have root privileges
2. Reboot your phone or terminate Android Market before starting Market Enabler and then fake T-Mobile US
i have an other probelem now when i try to change setting from market enabler it says "we got a problem houston" and market still can not find other applications...
why does it give that message
Do you have root?

Before starting this thread, it's impossible that you didn't saw the posts regarding rooting.
Rooting is the process by which you regain administrative access to your phone. It opens up otherwise impossible options to your phone.
Just like windows, you're only guest now on your phone.
This could help

However i dis-advise you to root your phone unless you have some spare time and the will to read all the requirements and how to's

Yes I know reading can be sooo hard for other people... be respectful to the forum by doing a little research first... there are multiple threads on the first page about rooting... even the 1 click solution.
Do yourself a favor and read carefully before attempting to root... every step counts
thanks for the replies.

LOL! Wicked mate!
Btw my phone IS rooted but market enabler won't install
http://uploaded.to/file/en3pg4
I'm going to ask the devs why
What do you mean by "won't install"? How do you install it?
I mean that I downloaded the .apk and tried to install and I get a generic error while "analysing the file" (I don't know how it sounds in english)
hello,
i rooted my phone it does not give "we got a problem houston" error now. but still i cannot see the paid applications.
I installed the market enabler before i was rooting the phone. Can it be the reason. Do you advise me to uninstall market enabler and install again?
And can somebody can tell me how to change the setting.
I go to settings tab from the market enabler and click on German O2
Later go to the Actual tab and and press save current settings. And exit
Is that right?
What is the gsm.sim.operator.numeric in actual tab. There is a number...
thanks for replies
First off, this is not my fix and I take no credit for it - I am just passing it on. Many thanks to xguntherc for posting the original fix, and KorbenD for pointing me in the right direction on Titanium Backup.
Their posts, as a reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9294190&postcount=2835
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9302719&postcount=2846
I will summarize the Titanium Backup solution, as that's the one I had gotten to work. The non-TB solution did not work for me, but still relevant as some people have gotten it to work in cm:
- Get a copy of Titanium Backup and sideload it (free version is fine). http://matrixrewriter.com/android/
- Make sure the Market is working with your Google ID, of course.
- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps.
- In Titanium Backup, go into "Backup/Restore", look for "Google Services Framework 2.2", click on it and then choose "Wipe Data". Then go back to the home screen.
- Run the Market app. You should get an error (that's a good thing, as that's what we want. If you don't get an error, re-try the steps above until you do).
- Reboot, and wait at least a minute after the OS is up to let things stabilize.
- Run the Market again. You should see an immediate difference.
EDIT: You might have to do one more reboot to get apps to actually download and install. I had this issue, but it might have just been me.
I tested this on TnT 1.02, but keep in mind that my TnT is further modded so results may vary. Good luck!
It worked!!! Thanks a million my friend for posting this.
Works on Zpad 1106
Working very nicely on v1 build of the zpad clean V1.0 Thanks this is great!
Updated apps!!! rockplayer is now working he he.... I'm like a kid in a candy store Nice find man
Works perfect on 6.1 beta!!! Thanks!
This doesn't seem to work on a rooted stock g-tablet. I also tried the Titanium Backup method, but no luck. It does give me the Market terms of use on first run.
You guys are going to force me to use a modded firmware! I still want to wait and see what ViewSonic/Flextronics comes out with for an update.

Seems this device may steal a lot of the Archos 101's thunder for mid to higher end Android users, since easy to root and a LOT more powerful. Apparently both devices have the same display too. Need to see the Archos 101 in "person" to confirm this, but Youtube vids show the same weak angles.
Talk about irony. Archos talks smack and is a month and a half late (even later for 2.2), only to be beat to and in channels by a device with no smack talk. Ironic.

Did you start Market after each reboot? Or did you just reboot three times.
OTA: Using the vanilla post over the air update to... 2638(?) I think?
Tried Market everytime. And each time it came with error screen.
Last one came populated
Hope it helps
I don't seem to be able to get the desired results, no matter how many times I reboot.
If the ViewSonic update doesn't give a decent market, I will reset the device and start over. I'm still not convinced that I need to install a custom ROM.

The Viewsonic update is going to be a device reset, for all intents and purposes - that's why I'm not making any mods until that comes out.

I sideloaded Market, didn't use the TNT/gapps loader. So perhaps that's my problem. (Though I don't see any apps listed in Titanium Backup/Restore. Maybe it has something to do with the error I get about "BusyBox works but the 'su' command does not elevate to root" when I open it.)
(Can't do the YouTube Market fix, either, because I have no option in the TnT Settings / Applications to Clear Data--only Clear Cache is there)
I imagine I'll be going to TNTlite pretty soon, but I was waiting for the OTA for.... no particular reason, really.
Thanks.
This worked great for me using tntlite 2.0, but this step "- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps." the manage applications buttton was missing.. the actual button I used was System Applications.. otherwise the instructions worked. also be patient when you are wiping data in titanium backup, after hitting the button it does take a while before it will show a popup saying "data wipe complete"
Hey does anyone know how to remove Carrier IQ on Stock using a root explorer ?? I am rooted.
Carrier IQ is detected on my lovely Note 4 ,but I don't feel like flashing a custom rom to get rid of it until the 5.0 release.
Thanks in advance :good:
EDIT: I just tried using system tuner to stop carrier iq and my phone after reboot went haywire...I kept getting system application manager crashes every few seconds so I tried restarting those services, but still continued to get fc's and finally had no choice, but to restore my backup smh.

I froze the System Manager App in TItanium (Pink Steering Wheel Looking Thing)...and com.carrieriq.blah.blah.blah was still showing up in Amplify with a **** ton of wakelocks. I searched for the same com.carrieriq.blah.blah.blah within Titanium and could find no refernce to it. No reference to anything "IQ" related in Titanium. It seems that even when it's frozen in Titanium...some reference to it somewhere is still kicking it into gear.
Anyone else have a proper method of completely removing CarrierIQ without flashing ROM? Seems like they bake that **** into the system real good.

I personally can still install the apks without problems. I didn't need to try adb sideload. otherwise I would not have loaded the list.

Thanks mate, and I give you a little advice about unlocking the bootloader: it gave me an unlock error even though I never unplugged the Mi account from the device and it was all hours past. With the latest version of the MiUnlock it gave me an unlock error despite everything being in order. I solved by installing version 2.2.624.14. I'll tell you just in case :fingers-crossed:

Because as i said, this is a Debloat, i use third party apps for my personal configuration. especially in packages like in this case "calendar"; it is not difficult to guess that doing a debloat eliminates a related service. That's why I always say to make a backup.
Except that removing the calendar provider doesn't allow the google calendar app to work (the play store version, not the one installed by default). It is completely unnecessary to remove it (again, the provider, not the app) and I wouldn't consider it bloatware at all.
I recommend you to use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-adb-fastboot-tools-t3887359

I have a fully updated stock 4/64 A2 with YouTube disabled (because I prefer NewPipe). Until a week or so ago, I did not have any problems keeping it disabled.
Now, it gets automatically enabled after an indeterminate amount (minutes? hours?) of time. I clear Storage for the app, disable it (whereby it is replaced by the factory version), and after some time it shows up in my app drawer and Play Store 'updates available' list again!
Can someone please help me exorcise the ghost from my machine?
Yeah this problem is annoying. Try disabling Google Partners Setup and Google One Time Init. So far it works for me

Edit: I just remembered you are waiting for LOS. Means you are most probably do not care about system partition modification. If that is the case, the suggestion above was right. Get root, then Delete it from /system/app
That is one persistent ghost. Are you rooted with Magisk? I could make a simple module that effectively makes the YouTube app directory under /system become empty

I'm completely stock, fully updated (no BL unlock or root, etc.). I was hoping to enjoy the benefits of the Android One program (no Xiaomi/Google bloatware, timely security updates) until [OFFICIAL] LOS comes out (mostly because I really like PrivacyGuard and AFWall+ (with root)).
For some reason, the official version of LOS16 didn't come out at all; I'm eagerly awaiting @rcstar6696 to whip up official LOS17.
In addition to Google Partners Setup and Google One Time Init, I have also disabled the two Android Setup apps. Let's hope this one does the trick. I'll report back if it doesn't.
EDIT: So that didn't work; the YouTube app is back again. The two Android Setup apps are showing as enabled as well.
Well at this point i recommend for you to unlock BL and whip Magisk to the stock ROM. Enable systemless hosts in magisk, then I will give you the detailed steps & files to put in the systemless hosts directory. I will get back to you as soon as i could
Having BL unlocked and Magisk installed won't hurt your Android One experience (i am using the same setup). However, updating over OTA would be a bit hassle as you will have to Restore Images from Magisk manager, update, and install Magisk to the other slot. A mild inconvenience, but you get to retain the original device's software and feel

Thanks for the offer to help :good:, but I think I'll mess around with the phone once stable Android 10 shows up for it, be it stock or LOS.
In the meantime, I have hidden the YouTube icon from my app drawer. Out of sight, out of mind. Take that, Google!

Thanks a lot, I used this method a couple of times to debloat MIUI and completely forgot about it! Begone, YouTube and Chrome!
