Please skip to the number questions if don't want the background.
I hate to bother, and I apologize in advance if this post seem obvious. I tried my best to do my own research.
For a reason (SD card functionally); I decided to try install another operating system (FaR) on my T-mobile Alcatel Evolve 2 4037t (I know, I am low on funds currently). I did learned a bunch about the mod world, but eventually arrived at the conclusion that my t-mobile phone "won't allow it). However, now, I have a basic understanding of rooting, CWM, flashing a ROM like Cyanogen; basic. I should've figured it out sooner when I was using CWM and CWM did not support my phone, but I certainly learned a few things, all good. But now I have a few concerns.
I was going to leave my phone as it was, but my phone started acting up. And, I am certain it was something a I did. I will try to post Yes and No numbered questions:
1) If I use my phone as a hotspot, could potentially "bad" programs on my phone infect my laptop?
2) I performed factory reset on my phone (twice). However, the Root Checker app (from the play store) says that Busy Box is still installed. Are there any potential security concerns having Busy Box installed? (phone is no longer rooted so I am thinking no)
Any suggestions for a google PlayStore (P.S) app, for security?
For what it's worth:
What concerned me, was how Android File Transfer acted on my laptop. After the first factory reset it would change from USB storage to (MTP), I would unplug the teether, change it back, plug it in and it would change to (MTP) again. And another time :), it opened a vast number of Android File Transfer alerts. The only app I downloaded from the net was KingRoot. I had to use Lucky Patcher (from the G.P.S) to get rid of Purify that comes with KingRoot.
My very humble Thanks in Advance!
I am great at mucking dung up, sometimes I wonder if I went to far.
