OK.. My bf is all into his phone and never let's me touch it. But he was asleep and well.. I noticed he has lots and lots of screen shots of random stuff andthinking back I do remember him screen shooting a lot.. He is using this to communicate or open the app.. He had what seems like a fake YouTube.. Now launcher..g+ I also noticed an Es file explorer 3.4.1.2 multi device( I have never seen this before) I'm pregnant and can be dealing with this. Also the recovery seems like a modified one. I brought it up and he switched to stock recovery but I now noticed it looks sketchy as well.. What app/s is this????

To me, it just looks like your bf is an Android geek (nothing wrong with that), certainly not a cheat :thumbsupdroid:
ES File Explorer is just that, a file explorer to explore the guts of the phone

Looks to me like your BF is into Custom ROMS and tweaking the android device with Rooting.

Look at these guides to look more into root:

Root Terminology
What is root or being rooted mean?
You've went and rooted the phone. Now What???

Got straight off this forum's All Things Root Guides :P
 
Yeah, a custom recovery is just a tool people use for backing up the phone and customising the system software. I don't know what you mean by "fake YouTube", but the rest are perfectly normal apps.

As others have said, it just sounds like he likes customising his phone - like many members of this forum. It's nothing to worry about as long as it remains a hobby and doesn't become an obsession ;).
