How do I disable this MTP connection popup upon USB cable connection?

Question

This appears whenever I plug it in:

I have gone through all settings, tried everything. I want the MTP mode to stay on (I have no desire to enable Mass storage). I know how to invoke this window manually from within the settings.

I just want it not to pop up.

Using Lenovo A536, 4.4.4, rooted, stock ROM.
Read through the other threads, they never offer a working solution (just bogus solutions). It always seems to derail towards FTP and/or MSD and making up menu items that are absent in my phone. I have sqlite3 installed, if you know the right database and key, tell me and I can fix it.

This problem can have three reasons:
1- You connect your mobile phone to the computer, in this case, you should on this page, select the option to only charge and look for an option with the theme "Always do the same" and activate it.
2. Your charger has a problem and your mobile phone recognizes it as a computer. Try another charger.
3- If the problem is not solved after doing the above work, your phone probably has a hardware problem

There should be a broadcast receiver for the "connecting to PC" broadcast, which this UI receives and launches itself.

If you're 100% sure you won't need to set this again, try using MyAndroidTools (requires root, of course) and disabling this certain broadcast receiver, or disabling the activity of this UI altogether.

Unfortunately, since I don't have the phone in my hands, I won't be able to figure out which receiver/activity to disable, but it should have "USB" or "MTP" in its name, so search that in MyAndroidTools and report back if anything comes up.
