Do you have a flashlight app, especially on an Android phone? It’s probably malware.

I just use the camera app provided with my android phone. I also dual boot to CyanogenMod which has a flashlight app and the developers are not likely to put malware in the system.
The developers on XDA who have been around for a while are generally pretty safe to use as well since these are the same people writing the code for google and a lot of other mods http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416167
I downloaded a surefire to my Glock .45 auto, it has no malware.
I gotta streamlight myself, but yeah, I’m not worried about it. Then again, my phone doesn’t have a flashlight but I’m going to be upgrading soon.
If my phone has the app and I don’t use it can they still get my information?
