A --> Bloatware and spyware suspect.Weird name and vague definition of file name. Potentially a malicious spyware in your box.
Android Keyboard (AOSP) -->Before Uninstall Make Sure You Have The Latest GBoard From Google Instead
App Installer -->Make sure you have a good file manager such as ES File Explorer before uninstalling
Basic Daydreams Camera --> Why does a TV Box need a camera app?
com.android.app.cus.aging com.android.cts.ctsshim com.android.cts.privctsshim com.android.smspush -->SMS Push for a TV Box? This is not a phone
File Browser -->Replace it with a more functional and advance file manager app such as Files Go by Google, ES Explorer or Root Explorer
Files FOTAprovider --> Remote management app from China manufacturer potentially could be spyware
GetCityLocation --> Another potential spyware it is used to report back to China about your box's geolocation
MediaCenter --> Rarely used bloatware most modern day apps out there can already do Chromecasting or there are better apps such as Plex out there.
Mediabox Launcher --> Lousy and ugly launcher. Use Something better such as Nova Launcher or UGoos Launcher or even TVLauncher.Avoid Google's official Leanback launcher has issues with China apps and unofficial apps that doesn't support the Play Store.
Music --> You have better music players out there. Google Music, Xperia Walkman Player, PowerAmp or N7. Why do people even need a music player on their TV Box when you have media centers such as Kodi or LibreElec? If it's on your mobile phone, it's understandable, but a cheap TV Box?
Photo Screensaver PPPOE - PPPoE is old method of connecting to VPNs, still popular in China to bypass the Great Firewall but considered insecure way to outside standards. There's OpenVPN client instead. VideoStrong Mac Test WebviewShell --> Allow Google Webview to display report of your box's info on your browser. Wireless Update --> This push update tool by manufacturer is unsafe but optional to uninstall. Users can still update their firmware via recovery, backup and update tool or the burner tool.
