chinese phones system malware that can't be deleted? ok to just disable?

[joeygrimes]

Got 2 long time ago that shipped with junk, ran scan on them recently

1 has 2 riskware

something called fotaprovider

it's system, can't delete, I disabled and force quit

other has

sound recorder, system application, trojan agent aed

bingo launcher, riskware

com.android.snap, system application, trop dropper agent cjm

I think I probably could delete them because I think I rooted the phones a few years ago, but don't want to wreck the systems and get into flashing custom roms and all that again, because they work and these might be embedded, one of them has a weird android called dido os?

is disabling them enough?

I think I was able to get rid of them with titanium backup program.

Warning: Make sure to read Restoring apps onto the device (without factory reset) in the rare case you need to revert/restore app.

thanks nathan, yeah I saw that link after I posted, I don't know if it would get them all, but for some it will work.
