Installation Process

Setting up the Auto Update Locker is easy. Here’s how to do it:

1. Install the Xposed Framework: First, make sure your device is rooted and the Xposed Framework is installed. You can find detailed instructions on the Xposed website.
2. Download Auto Update Locker: Look for the Auto Update Locker module in the Xposed Module Repository or download it from a trusted source like XDA Developers.
3. Activate the Module: After installing, open the Xposed Installer app, find Auto Update Locker, and turn it on.
4. Reboot Your Device: You need to reboot for the module to work right.

The Auto Update Locker Xposed Module is a root-level utility designed to block unwanted application updates across multiple Android app stores. It actively prevents both manual and automatic background updates while maintaining normal market functionality.

I’ve been running this on my daily driver to keep specific modded apps from overwriting themselves via the Play Store or Aurora Store. Under the hood, it hooks into the market’s update requests and intercepts them, meaning you never have to worry about waking up to a broken, forcefully updated app again.

Core Features

• Total update blocking: Kills both manual and background app updates dead in their tracks across popular markets.
• Halts permission revokes so the Android OS stops quietly removing your granted permissions from older apps.
• LSPosed and Xposed environments are fully supported, giving you flexible scope configuration for different root setups.
• Alternative store support: It plays nice with third-party markets like Aurora Store, Aptoide, and Xiaomi GetApps.
• Easily backup your custom blocklists using the built-in export and import tools when switching ROMs.
• Market functionality remains intact, meaning your stores still work normally for the apps you actually want to upgrade.

My Verdict

If you run modified APKs or older app versions that break when upgraded, this is a mandatory LSPosed module. It permanently ends the headache of accidentally hitting “Update All” in your app store.
