Hide iOS OTA Update Badge From Settings, Disable Install Button [Cydia]

We have covered a few Cydia tweaks that allow iOS users to get rid of the OTA update badge on the Settings icon of their iPhone or iPad. When you think about it, such tweaks offer nothing more than a cosmetic utility, and if you really want to avoid the update, the chances of accidentally hitting the Download & Install button in the Settings app remain pretty sizeable. That is exactly what makes Software Update Killer a much more useful tweak compared to similar ones in the past. The tweak does remove the badge from the Springboard Settings icon, but it doesn’t stop there. If you install Software Update Killer, it will remove the icon badge, the notification bubble over the General tab in Settings, and ultimately, disable the update download button altogether! This can prove to be an extremely useful feature for users who are rather accident-prone, and fear that they might hit the update button by mistake. Read More

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is jailbroken, then you must be familiar with the routine which is followed each time a newer version of iOS is released, The developers start working on finding new exploits and creating the appropriate jailbreak for the the latest release. The duration in which jailbreak masters carry out their search for exploits might consist of months at times, and all the while, jailbreak fans are usually instructed to stay away from the newer versions of iOS until the jailbreak is released. If you update by mistake, then you might end up stuck without access to the Cydia store forever. The main culprit for making people accidentally update in such scenarios is the OTA update (since iOS 5), which presents itself in the stock Settings app, with an annoying badge staying visible on it until you finally succumb to Apple’s wishes and update to their latest firmware. There is a solution to this problem though, and you can easily remove the Settings OTA badge using the Cydia tweak named noOTA. Read More
