Quick FAQ
Q: I'm just wondering why you included the "created by droiddreamkiller"
A: This string was added so that if you look at this file, say three weeks from now, and see this string, you will know that this file was here because DDK created it, not the malware.
Q: See my double post this is malware [...] I did not submit any review
A: Shawn, for future reference: there are other people whose name is Shawn. Sometimes, they, too, write reviews. Thanks for the one star review, though.
Q: Doesn't work on my phone, running [exotic ROM xxx] and [very rare kernel 1.2.3] should I rate this app with one star for not working?
A: I would really appreciate it if you didn't. Contact me instead and we will see if we can figure out what incompatibilities your phone has.

Google should be on top of this sort of issue. Google should be pushing security updates through the carriers regardless of Open Source status that Android has. Thanks Chris. Unlocked, rooted dell streak, steves 1.8.1/streakmod 0.3.2 recovery
