[BETA] Google Play Services Blocker v1.1 Updated: 1/23/16

Boost Mobile
ZTE Warp Sync
N9515
KK 4.4.2 OS

Possible fail? Got the services update nag anyways and something caused the FOTAkill.apk to not work.

 

OK.. So this was made for & I'd need a JB OS? I didn't know that and it wasn't stated in the OP. That also would mean I'd need to downgrade some stuff.. Can I do that easily?
As for FOTAkill.apk, I know it's not "necessary" but I use it because the nag drives me nutz, the update will just close off any chance of Root.. Stagefright doesn't scare me, Lol.

 

Lop Root.. I am Rooted, but what's Lop Root? Plz excuse my ignorance. [emoji28]

 

yes Sir, TWRP.

 

I have a "newer" issue I think may be derived from the newer Google Play Store (6.0.F-U!). It's constantly automatically updating Chrome browser even with "do not auto update" set. The only issue I had with the Chrome updates is that
1. No matter how many times I bust it back to factory it reupdates A LOT! That is a big issue with eating my data. Every time I wake up or reboot, it's updated or trying to!
2. since v40+, it keeps asking for a password resubmission and telling me that my current password is totally invalid. I realize that you have no control over Google but was hoping you had some useful info on how to deal with it. Ty- in advance.

 

I had/have done that. Many times. [emoji28] Also unchecked the auto update box for the apps themselves. That's what's tripping me out! HOW ARE THEY DOING it?! [emoji33] And.. It's only Chrome. Doesn't matter which version it is - it'll update after Google play updates. I found my workaround by downgrading Play store to v4.8 (which usually updates to v6.0.1 anyways no matter what I do) then flashing the DarkHorse Play store v5.1.1 which has the store's (itself) auto update disabled. Then restored Chrome v35. The downside is that a lot of apps now state my phone is incompatible with most of the apps, including apps/games already installed and been playing for a while now.. [emoji12]

 

Is there any easy way to sidestep the ridiculousness? Data isn't free for everyone.. Your blocker is certainly a nice start, Sir!

 

Would a link to the stock ROM (Deodexed/Debloated, functional) I've already uploaded be acceptable?

This is Str8 stock, before any app updates and the like. Will I need to send any updated play stores or other APK's?

 

Yes Sir & Ty- [emoji41]
The installer isn't just the apk, correct?

 

They're APK's.. Should I put it in a flashable zip?
Nvm.. Downloaded the whole folder and found the zip!
