Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “rockz5555 OU=Droid Freedom Unit O=Droid Freedom Inc L=Unknown S=Unknown C=LK” Not the developer's name (“Lakshman”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
- The same certificate signs apps from 10 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.

Compass and GPS tools APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
