Something that has been bothering me is the ZTE apps which look almost exactly like the Google equivalents, but are ZTE copies. I followed this guide and it worked perfectly without root to disable and hide these. I thought I would share my experience on what I disabled without consequence:

Code:
zte.com.cn.filer
cn.zte.recorder
com.zte.videoplayer
cn.zte.music
com.android.contacts - using Google Contacts
com.android.deskclock - using the normal default clock app
com.android.dialer - using Google dialer
com.zte.powersavemode
I did have this disabled as well, but it broke screenshot capabilities, so I enabled it again:

Code:
com.android.ztescreenshot

Is it possible to disable the garbage battery drain detector? No matter how many times I tell it to not optimize some apps, it keeps warning me and optimizes them anyway. It even kills my alarm clock app!
