Live Channels APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Probably not if you installed Live Channels from Google Play: this file is signed with a different certificate, and Android normally refuses such an update. You would have to uninstall your copy first, which deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Live Channels APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. 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. It is signed with a different certificate than the Google Play version. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 2f61118504f02ad645c423e749bc0431.
