[Q] HTC Explorer help and other stuff

Hello everyone, I've been having problems on my phone and I'm not really familiar with anything that has to do with it (and also did some research but didn't find anything). I'll greatly appreciate if anyone can answer the questions I'm about to ask (Yes, these questions are questions that I don't understand) :
1. What is a ROM and why would I need to install it? What difference does a ROM make and do I need a specific android version to run a ROM?
2. Can I update the current android version (2.3.5) of my phone to a more recent version?
3. I've been trying to run Google Play Store application via mobile and I've always had this error come up, "The application Google Play Story (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.". Now I've been trying to find a fix but I didn't find any that worked - I've formatted my mobile via Factory data reset, deleted the data/cache of the application, updated the application to the latest version, I've even bought an 8GB micro SD card, thinking that it might help, even though I don't know if you can and how to install an application (such as Google Play Store application) on a micro SD card, and NOTHING from what I've mentioned just now worked.
PLEASE, I would greatly appreciate if anyone is kind enough to answer these questions because I can't find anything that can help me other than requesting help from others now, Thanks.

[Completed] Help with Lenovo s860i fake chinese version

First of all say Hello to every one cuz i'm new on this forum.
Second: I'm here cause i have a problem with my phone, it's a lenovo s860i chinese (fake,no lenovo). The phone started to be slow and install apps for itself, avg antivirus told me to uninstall some apps, so i rooted it cuz that apps were on system. Then i uninstalled some apps, one of them the app "themes"" with king root (Not a good idea). Since that moment i can only see the notification bar, no more. I tried to do a recovery but doesn't works (but i can start the recovery menu) Any idea?
I'd like to install Cyanogenmod 12 too, may be this possible?
Thanks for reading and sorry for my english, i'm not good with it.

[Completed] please help

I have a cubot one phone. And lately a lot of Chinese apps invade it. Like qq( Chinese letters version 5.6.0.888), trojan.mascu and others install on my phone without my permission. I reinstall the system back to factory but didn't work. I install Sophia is the only one who announce me of the threats. Karpesky, mallware, others antivirus don't work. They see the threat but can not remove it. SMS.reg, a Chinese income and download manager are the one with problems say sophos but I can't unninstall them only force stop. But is only temporally. They keep coming back. I need a litlle advice. Thank y!
