    Will this stop my phone from updating?

    Two comments: Permission changing: I installed Root Explorer, gave it the permissions needed, then tried to change the permissions i /system. I was shown the 'fun' message: Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems( e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes...

    Will this stop my phone from updating?

    My phone is rooted and I would like to try 'remove 'software update' from /system/priv-app', but only the owner has write privileges on that system directory. Any suggestions as to how this issue can be overcome?

    Will this stop my phone from updating?

    Thank you - I will download and try the app. Since my phone has recently popped up some messages about updating, should I update first or install this app first? p.s. I fully agree with your sentiment. I too am still running on Windows 7, and fundamentally distrust google docs, word 365, etc...

    Delete a notification schedule??

    My phone is a rooted google Pixel 7 Pro running Android 13. As I had previously reported, when Flip-to-Shhh in enabled, when the phone is flipped and this feature stops it from ringing, it also turns on ‘Do not Disturb’. That this happens is beyond idiotic, but I think I found the cause. In...

    Moronity runs amok at Google

    I had a Google Pixel 3XL phone and it was great, but I now have a Google Pixel 7 Pro and it has some major issues. Here is one example: On the old phone, the Flip-to-Shhh feature worked exactly as expected. On the new phone, while the Flip-to-Shhh feature stops the phone from making noise, when...

    I have a Pixel 7 Pro phone running Android 13. I rooted the phone and when I run Root Checker it indicates 'Root access is properly installed..." However, today (and a few times previously), a screen popped up telling me to reboot my phone so it could update itself. How the heck can I disable...

    Game bug

    A while back, 20 May 2023 to be exact, I posted saying that Classic Words (a Scrabble game) was playing words that are not in the dictionary. I received several replies which basically said to use a Scrabble dictionary since the one I had used, Merriam Webster, does not show all playable words...

    Renaming a file?

    My Pixel 7 Pro is rooted, however, it still grabs updates, etc., and I want to stop it from doing that. I did some searching and I found that to do this, I could simply rename a few files. However, I have been unable to rename the files. This is what I have done: Installed ConnectBot typed...
