[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Ikzy:
I use magisk to hide the following apps from system. So i'm not actually touching the system partition. Although you need unlocked bootloader and custom kernel (genesis) for that so the OTA updates won't install anyway. Thats why I removed the update-center as well. Use at your own Risk.
