I have a Motorola xt1527 which is rooted and I use it with AdAway which needs hosts file access. I also use EasyTether on it to tether over USB to a Raspberry Pi, which becomes a wifi AP, I use half a dozen phones, tablets, computers through it, ad-filtered I have a T-Mobile unlimited data plan, it's worked out well for a few years due to a lack of rural internet.
Along comes a new friend who claims I'm sending her SMS malware (ooo I've been hacked) so she keeps me blocked. Maybe the phone has something, the malware tools I've tried don't run under an Android version that old (5.02). How can I scan and clean the phone of malware? I've scanned and cleaned lots of Windows computers of viruses, mad a living at it for years. Same idea once you have the tools right?
Mostly the phone's an internet connection, I've rarely talked on it. It sits with the volume turned down. I did a few months start using MightyText, an app that runs on it and puts SMS from it on their website so I can access it remotely.
