Root How to disable auto updates

If you root your phone, you can go into the system / apps folder inside your phones operating system with an application called ES File Explorer available in the Google Play Store. The System / Apps Folder has all your pre-installed system apps in that operating system. You will have no access to that folder without administrator rights (ROOT)... If someone was smart enough, they would just create an app in the Google Playstore that automatically blocks updates and notifications in any android phone (using a temp root method). I better get credit for the idea lol. I don't remember right now what the apps you need to delete as I don't have that phone in my shop right now. Hope this helps :)
