I. Disable Anbox via anbox-tool:

anbox-tool disable

or make it disabled manually:

rm /home/phablet/anbox-data/.enable
stop anbox-session
sudo stop anbox-container

or alternatively configure Upstart to ignore the start on / stop on stanzas:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /
echo "manual" | sudo tee /etc/init/anbox-container.override
echo "manual" | sudo tee /usr/share/upstart/sessions/anbox-session.override
sudo sync
sudo mount -o remount,ro /
stop anbox-session
sudo stop anbox-container

II. Remove Anbox icons:

rm /home/phablet/.local/share/applications/anbox-*

III. Create start script:

#!/bin/bash
sudo start anbox-container
start anbox-session

and stop script:

#!/bin/bash
stop anbox-session
sudo stop anbox-container
rm /home/phablet/.local/share/applications/anbox-*

IV. Start or stop Anbox:

bash <nameofscript>
