[Q] What do I need to modify in build.prop to keep the latest OTA from pushing? - LG Revolution

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.

Ooooooor you could just flash mt Revolt ROM. That does the job as well.

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.

Yay! Thank you crawjr. You've been doing an awful lot around here man. Good works.
I think this really aught to go into the development section, it would get more attention and I think it fits the classification.
*internet forum high five*
Thanks much! Samsung gives us a menu option of what log we want to narrow it down to but only as a radial button to pick one. I wish they would make it a checkbox option and the ability to pick multiple logs to show at the same time. That way people could customize for what THEY want to see.

Is there any way to REMOVE this fix? I'd rather have the SMSs in the log than have the FCs every time I hit the menu button.
And it did wipe out all of my logs when I flashed it.
I'm fully prepared to just ODIN EH06 again, but it would be nice if I didn't have to.
Of course I didn't do a backup before flashing this file.

I'm using the mod for STOCK EH06-- EH06_stock_locks.zip
I thought that was the one I had to use, since there is no theme installed. But I'm realizing that if I had used another one, it would have installed that theme... correct?
I then flashed the AIO mod over that. So I still look kind of stock. Except for the themed GoLauncherEX.
Which I'm very pleased to say has working Gmail notifications, since the Stock ROM had Gmail 3.4.1.5 installed and I haven't updated to 3.5!! Yay me.

I'm having the same issue (almost). I'm using the stock deodexed verson from the link you posted. After flashing it, the dialer FC's when I try to open the logs tab. I'm totally stock minus bloatware with no mods or themes.
Have you been able to out what might be causing this? Or a work around? I found people with the same issue with eg22 but nothing about a fix.

Application/Server Access

Hello all.
Well in an attempt to ease access to the original applications, I am hosting the system/app folder on my file server.
Kogshole
This currently includes the original stock apps and apps from de-crapified 1.0 & 1.1 roms. I will include the app folders from revolt versions soon.
I have also hosted all the files I have downloaded from the XDA LG Revolution posts.
If you would like to see any revolution files posted here please just ask
Any Dev that asks can get full access to any of my servers. I want to help the revolution in anyway possible. That would include formatting a sever dedicated to development.

So I figured I'd try and get one myself and try to see if I can get it working.

[Q] GingerHome problem (android.process.lghome)

First, I can't post in the GingerHome ROM post under the Revo Development forum. I guess maybe because I have less than 10 posts? The forum rules or something will not let me. That is why I posted this here.
After I installed this ROM from the zip through clockworkMod I rebooted and I get the following error:
The application Home (process android.process.lghome) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I can tap "Force Close" but it immediately keeps popping back up so it basically locks me out. I rebooted and restored back to stock, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? I know mtmichaelson is focused on GingerVolt ROM and it was nice, but it was too stripped down for me. I wanted to keep some of the stock apps like the weather widget and I liked getting the email and messages on the lock screen.
It is just me or my phone, or is it some coding in the ROM?
mtmichaelson, if you read this, keep up the good work!

Try redownloading and flashing the new download. The GingerHome is not a rom, it is just a add on for GingerVolt hence the reason nothing really changes in it. It is basically just the stock LG stuff to go on top of GV. Let me know how it works.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
Ah ok. So I install GingerVolt, then I install this? This just adds onto the GV. I got it now. Yeah no wonder I was having problems. I just installed GingerHome over the stock ROM.
I am such a noob to all this. Of course this is my first Android phone though. (Came from BB). This phone is soooo much better.
While I am at it, what does it take to develop for this phone? I saw something about Kitchen sink(?) to develop ROMs but I guess it does not work with the Revo?

For this phone in particular a lot of time and patience lol. The Android kitchen only helps when dealing with the boot.img on this phone, but does require Linux to edit. Other than that there are several other tools out there depending on if you are wanting to modify smali code, or apps. If you are wanting to get into it, come to the irc sometime, there are several of us that hang out on there at night.

As a OO developer, SMALI makes me want to shoot myself in the head...
It's like editing ILDASM, only it seems less intuitive.
I flashed to GingerVolt 1.3 and then put on GingerHome. Everything seems to be working great. Now, when ever I hit the home button, I get a popup asking to complete this action with LG Home or ADW.Launcher. I like LG Home as the launch as the ADW one would disappear on me sometimes or I would would accidentally delete the apps launcher and have to add it back.
If I set the LG Home as default, is there a way to switch back to ADW if I want?
I think starting with an app would be better for development, but how much time does it involve? Also, how do I get into IRC? and what time is "at night?" I have a 13mo and I never know what time I might have to getup so I don't stay up late anymore.

Usually you rename the superuser.apk file to something else, like superuser.bk, but this also disables superuser. It would be something you switch every time you want to use the app, then switch back when you're done. Not sure if this works for that Verizon app, but it's how people have gotten around root checks before.

It's certainly one solution, but most Superuser apps have a temporary unroot feature that will take care of this for you, which can be a lot safer than monkeying around with your APKs if you don't know what you're doing. There are also some good apps out there that can hide an active root, although it's been some time since I've had to use them.
