Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Signed with Android's public test key This key is published with Android's source code, so anyone can sign a file with it.
- The same certificate signs apps from 141 different developers Developers sign only their own apps, so this almost always means the files were re-signed by someone else — often after being modified.

Launcher APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Launcher APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 141 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is fffda613ab5dbdf1858e38b9555b1cf4.
