how do i disable this firmware update nag window in Settings? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
first of all, i am rooted. and i have googled for so many solutions to completely remove "Software Update" from the settings
NOTE: I have disabled to get updates automatically before this pops up. it came after a few days. :S
i have tried:
- removing otacerts.zip
- removing the fota agent apk
- disabling software update via package disabler
yet i still see this nag window?
any solution from you guys would be great!
appreciate it
right now im considering to re-wipe it and then before it receives an OTA, i will delete the otacerts as well as remove the fota agent first.
here is a screenshot:

Did you disable com.samsung.sdm ? That should stop that.

hello! thanks for the response.
may i know where can i find this com.samsung.sdm?
under priv-app or app in /system/ ?
thanks
as from what i see inside both folders, they just have file names. no longer showing com.android.xxx or com.samsung.xx
unlike other android OEMS.

Use Package disabler that you were using earlier. It's in there as System Update com.samsung.sdm

Everything is possible really.. What you should do is download a terminal emulator from the Play Store and find out what the processes name is that way you can disable it yourself while in the terminal.

It's one way to learn how to use your phone's system better. Nothing beats knowing Linux/Unix language! It's also fun to learn about but only if you actually want to!

Have you deleted the actual downloaded update file from /cache? (I believe that's where it's located)

Screenshot application

Finished writing up the Screenshot application this evening. You must have root to use this application:
If you want to know how I did it, just read from /dev/graphics/fb0
Screenshot application:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Choose how long to wait before taking a screenshot:
Once the screenshot is taken, you will get a toast on the bottom of your screen.
You can view the screenshot and save it to your SD card (from the menu):
Download it off the Market!
Koush said:
Before we had root, it was impossible to write a screenshot application because when trying to use the ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER permission, you would get denied. However, now that we have it, it obviously works.
The application needs to be compiled in the Android build environment to access some of the internal classes. I started with a modified version of monkey at first (similar to how I made the screen autorotate work). I'm working on stripping out the junk now.

You rock....Keep it up!
You know you can take screenshots with ddms (included in the sdk), right? I think it works even on a stock phone (although I'm not positive).
Granted, you have to have the phone plugged into your computer to take a screenshot with ddms, where your app would be able to take one anytime. So your approach would still be useful

Yeah, thats actually how I figured out how to take screenshots: I dug through the DDMS code till I ended up at the SurfaceFlinger IPC Server.
But as you said, it is not ideal.
Awww. I was expecting to see a preview inside a preview inside a preview.. etc.

Hahha, that's actually what I had screenshotted at first, but then then I realized it looked really confusing.
Once Screenshot Application is ready it will be easy to make Application which can Record Screen activities in Video for Possibly making Video Tutorial of Softwares, OS etc.
Well done koush.
Finished the application tonight. Enjoy guys! Check the first post for instructions/download.

You should download Superuser off this forum. It will ask for permission whenever su is used, and also won't break applications that use su.

koush thx for the great apps. i installed your superuser app and it works great and i installed your screenshot app which works great for people having a hard time with screenshot app to get it to work after you set in the time to take it you have to go to the screen you wont a pick of before the time is up or you will get a pick of the android with blue background koush can you if it is possible to make a app that can edit the apk files so images can be replaced in the phone i have had no luck resigning the apk. files using the signapk tool

Sure. The C portion with the interesting bits is attached. It's pretty messy. I never bothered to clean it up after I got it working (lot of trial and error).
I've gotta optimize the pixel format conversion loop sometime. It's unnecessarily slow right now.

You have root, and no password protection on your su right? I would recommend installing Modified RC 30 v1.2 and Superuser.
Can you verify that the following file exists:
/system/bin/screenshot
Also, try running it. That is the native executable I wrote that scrapes the screen and writes screenshot.raw.

Removing the proxy setting shouldn't have any negative effect. SMS/MMS are handled via separate fields in the APN setting

Read what the message says and follow those instructions.
Attached is pictures of what you need to wipe out. May look slightly different on your phone, as mine is still on gingerbread, because i like the sense UI.
just in case clearing the proxy does break something, write down what is there before you wipe it.
Not sure about adaway, but i must say adfree is the best...
i seem to be using it for ages and never had an issue.
goto market download 'adfree' by i think tin can or something...
install it...
a pop up will come with 2 options, just choose boot normally.
it'll offer to download some new files, let it.
once its finished reboot your device & your phone will be ad free

[GUIDE] Enable Guest Mode

I'm back!
Here to enable more stuff on your devices.
r3pwn said:
I apologize. This was kinda a rushed release and I didn't get to test it too well (at all, really). All I did was notice the key in the database, then I enabled it, saw it actually did something, then wrote this guide. Upon further investigation, it seems that the Chromecast itself needs an update (we may see this in the coming days/weeks). In the meantime, enjoy looking at the menu, knowing that the feature isn't too far away!

What is Guest Mode?
Guest mode is a new Chromecast feature that allows a device to cast to Chromecast without being on the same wifi network, but Google hasn't released it yet. That's why I'm here!
Sweet! How do I do it?
You must download "#Configurator for Root" from the Play Store and be sure your device, not your Chromecast is rooted.
After that, open #Configurator and type in these for the fields:
Code:
gms:cast:cast_nearby_device_scanner:is_enabled
true
Then hit the "Configure" button and continue to type:
Code:
com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app
Then hit the "Kill" button.
If you get no popup screen about Guest mode, be sure you have the latest Chromecast app downloaded. (Can be found at
GAppsEarly)
If it's still acting up, give me a few minutes to fix #Configurator.
I don't like root apps because they could steal my data:
Feel free to compile it yourself. The source is at: https://github.com/r3pwn/Configurator

What could go wrong ?

For the person two comments above you, it wasn't working (Enabling worked, but it gave an error about communicating with the CC)
I am wondering if a Chromecast upgrade is needed. I guess I'll see when I get home later.
Google just approved the 1.1 update, so no more need to download the apk from Google Drive.

Yes, but you would need to reverse the flags, because they would still be there.
Enabled this, got the guest mode pop-up, cannot see chromecast anymore. What's the reverse flag?

[ROOT][GUIDE]Install the Google Search 5.2 on the M preview with hotword detection

Hey guys I'm going to keep this clean and simple.
What you will need:
--The .apk from here (APKMirror ftw!)
--The .zip file I've attached to this post (the .so files are extracted from the .apk file) It is not flashable!!!!
--The latest Marshmallow preview installed
--Root
Steps:
1) Download the .apk and the zip files
2) With your favorite Root Browser, browse to /system/priv-app/Velvet/
3) Delete the current Velvet.apk and replace it with the new one make sure the permissions are correct (-rw-r-r)!!!
4) Then browse to /system/priv-app/Velvet/lib/arm/, delete all the .so files there, then place the ones you downloaded and extracted from the zip here again, make sure the permissions are correct (-rw-r-r)!!!
5) Reboot
6) Profit!
Notes: This does set the app drawer back to horizontal scrolling, and Voice search works, along with the hotword detection (everywhere)! If you guys want screenshots/proof of hotword detection working I can upload screenshots later. But please be sure to explicitly tell me.
Thanks!
First? Lol.
Hey thanks, it worked! No more FC when searching!

The function(s) of the app are not any different. The Google Search 5.2 update changed most aesthetics of the app. Screenshots can be found in a compilation here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/09/01/google-app-updated-to-version-5-2-33-with-new-logo-icon-color-galore-and-slightly-revamped-google-now-ui-apk-download/ (thanks to AP!).

Woah you're right... The lockscreen works perfectly but when the phone is on there's a problem. I know its a problem with the "draw over Apps" setting in M because 5.1 had an option there and 5.2 doesn't... Dang it Google! On the good side you can still do calculations and send messages because it reads the "solutions"...

There's no need to install it. Simply copy everything then reboot. It will install automatically after a reboot if you did everything correctly.

-If this is the first time running this software, please uninstall any previous version of the app you wanna install.
-This software WILL NOT install an app and make it compatible with Android Auto (if it's not). It will install an Android Auto-compatible app correctly if it does not show up in car. Please be sure that the app you are trying to install is indeed compatible with Android Auto.

Thank you for your program. I haven't tested it yet because my windows PC isn't available right now. I'll do so when I can.
I do want to make you aware of something you might not be aware of.
When I clicked your link, the link shortener site tried to force the download of an Android app. Then, either the file storage site or the link shortener in the background tried to force another Android app download on me. It wasn't until after all of this that your file started to download.
Luckily, I know enough not to blindly install things that just show up or tag along with stuff I want. Someone else might not. Who knows if those apps are even safe? The fact that their distribution model involves some sneaky tactics suggests that the apps not be trusted.

Well this is not exactly what this software does. I'll try to be more clear on the OP. Anyway are you aware that Here Maps is not compatible with Android Auto?
@Zival73 I think I've figured out your issue. I'm releasing a new version in a few moments

The main thing of this program goes around ADB. So I guess the answer you are searching for is yes.

Did you actually read the instructions?
You have to place the my.apk file ON THE DESKTOP.
