To block all OTA updates all you need to do is edit the build.prop.
I have 1820 users on my ROM so I can confirm this works not only on my device.
You need to edit: "ro.build.product="
From: "ro.build.product=surnia_cdma"
To: "ro.build.product=surnia_XXX (XXX=whatever text you like, or lack of text will also do the trick)
This basically changes the device google play services checks since whatever you call it wont be in the db that google checks against you are good to go.
After the change all you need to do is wipe dalvik and cache in TWRP or CWM.
FOTA.apk does not work anymore..
