It's a pretty good, standard smartphone. Some poorly translated notifications and occasional Chinese text give it character, I think. Unfortunately, it comes with adware (and possibly malware). After using the phone for a few weeks, I started getting annoying popups.
Because the phone's fairly obscure, I can't find anything to replace the built-in software. So if you want to remove the adware (and other pre-installed rubbish), I suggest the following:
1. Download KingoRoot and root the phone (unroot it afterwards)
2. Download Disable Application [Root] and freeze the following apps:
- superKey
- Browser
- TestRadarAdapter
- SCWeather
- Black Hole
- com.ishow.client.android.plugin.comp...
- Omacp
- FM Radio
- Bypass Settings
- Mi Moment
- Mi Assistant
- One touch uninstall
- holospiral
- phase beam
- print spooler
- basic daydreams
- zte cares
- com.android.fakecall
- com.zte.update
- bubbles
- locationem2
- user guide
- zte account
- weather
- exchange services
- Mi-POP
- emode
- mieasymodeapiservice
- mtk android suite daemon
- mtklogger
- androidlive wallpapers
- com.fingerprints.service
- system updates (com.zte.zdm)
- phone anti-theft
- upgradesys (com.fw.upgrade.sysoper)
- browserprovider
- live wallpaper picker
- bsptelephonydevtool
- fingerprint service
- gxfpservice
- setup wizard
- photo screensavers
- music visualisation wallpapers
- ume appservice
- zdmdaemon
- mtk nlp service
- one time init
- ZTEGesture
- uim toolkit
- launcherwidget_zte
- location of number
- engineercode (com.zte.engineer)
- sim toolkit
- atci_service
This has been tested on my own phone and it seems the apps listed above are not essential. Once I disabled them, the popups stopped.
Thank you, the pop-ups are gone, but so did the internet..A lot of the apps aren't bloatware, some people might find them useful, like FM radio or the browser..
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem the phone came with adware so i decided to root and install new rom , very easy to do , root obtained with kingroot. Once rooted i used mobile uncle to install TWRP 3 recovery image. Downloaded this rom http://forum.flymeos.com/thread-6638-1-1.html to root of sd card . Using mobile uncle i booted into recovery , did a wipe/factory resest then chose option to install zip from sd card and the phone is just so much better
