PROCEDURE to disable the Google Official OTA updates completely:

*. You need to be rooted for this.
1. Install this app: Disable Services and open it.
2. Select the 'System' tab.
3. Select the "Google Services Framework" app and uncheck (disable) the following service: SystemUpdateService
4. Come back and select the "Google Play Services" and uncheck this service: SystemUpdateService

Tested and working on Android One devices & Google Nexus.


That's it! You'll never get the update notification and neither will you be able to check it manually.

If you, by chance, feel you want the update, you can re-enable these services again to receive updates.

Well, if you tried Lollipop and returned back to KitKat, or
If you're one among those who like the KitKat 4.4.4 better than the new Lollipop 5.1 due to your own reasons, this thread is really going to help you.

Reasons why you might not like the 5.1 OTA update:
1. It is too materialistic!!
2. It doesn't support Xposed as of now.
3. You're too used to KitKat and abundant Mods available for it.

PROCEDURE to disable the OTA updates completely:

*. You need to be rooted for this.
1. Install this app: Disable Services and open it.
2. Select the 'System' tab.
3. Select the "Google Services Framework" app and uncheck (disable) the following services:
a. CheckinService
b. SystemUpdateService
4. Come back and select the "Google Play Services" and uncheck this option: 'SystemUpdateService'

That's it! You'll never get the update notification and neither will you be able to check it manually.

If you, by chance, feel you want the update, you can try re-enabling these services again, but this will help only till Google is giving the batch updates. Otherwise, there are many download links for it, so just download and flash it via recovery if required.

P.S. This thread may seem weird, but there are people who would really need it. And it's just for them :) :)
