Hey guys just wondering which app I can freeze in TiBu to stop the OTA. I received the OTA today and deferred but can only defer until Jan 31st, what app can I freeze to make sure it won't update and won't prompt me to update come the 31st. Thanks!

Thanks but I just want to know which APK I can freeze so the update won't bother me.
Lurk here a lot. Pretty much a noob at this stuff, but have managed to root and s-off both my original DInc and this Inc4g by reading and following directions. Remembering from the original DInc on how to stop the OTA, I did the same thing to this Inc4g, and haven't received any OTA notification (yet!).
Here is what I did(copied from a how to stop ota thread in original DInc forum)...
"To turn OFF future OTA updates, there is a file in the /system/etc/security folder. The file is named "otacerts.zip". Rename it "otacerts.zip.bak", or whatever you want. That will prevent future updates."
Hope this helps someone.
My brother & I both purchased our Inc4g's on same day. I rooted and s-off'd mine, he left his stock unrooted. His OTA came last week, I haven't seen one yet.
In case you want to reference the thread that I quoted from, here it is...

Btw, I used one of the alternate methods listed, did not try the first method listed, since it obviously for a different phone.

On stock, with root and s-on, I was able to freeze htc dm and htcdm with TiB. It was prompting me to update twice a day before I did it, regardless of how long I deferred. I haven't been prompted in three days with no adverse effects. Someone more knowledgeable than I will need to verify how safe it really is, but this worked for me.
Froze HTC DM and still getting the update and I have to defer and specify a date to install again...Any ideas? Thanks!
There are two apps, htcdm and htc dm (with and without a space). They did not appear next to one another on my list, I had to scroll.
[edit] I also noticed that I froze htc dm command service, but the update prompt didn't disappear until I froze the two dm apps.

i have all 3 of those apps running viper... i'll try freezing them with TB... i've tried everything else.
I also checked to see about the 2 htcdm files mentioned above and realized in addition to renaming the otacerts.zip file I referenced earlier, is that I also did freeze the 2 htcdm files using TiB.
As of right now, I still have not received the update notification.
Stock, rooted, and s-off.
Hope this helps someone.

i'm afraid to post this - but a day and a half now the nag has not popped up since i've frozen the 3 files mentioned above. :knockonwood:
i've done all the other normal stuff that should work (i really don't understand why my build.prop changes are not working). i did get the viper illegal rom nag - but that only happens once a week so i can deal with it. getting the verizon nag each time i turned on the phone was getting old.

the venom guys have discontinued support for the viper rom for our phone. however, they have protection built-in to help stop devs from stealing their code... unfortunately it is now tagging us as running illegal roms and gives us a nag screen once a week. there's info about it in the viper rom thread.
Neither the Viper nag, nor the Verizon OTA have appeared even once for me since I updated to ViperLTE 2.2.0. (I did turn off the check in settings, which I believe was added in 2.2.0)
