after malwares were found in the Android Market, Google is going to patch the affect devices "remotely", by installing some updates to your phone to clean up the device, and users do not need to do anything. so that means another backdoor?


more info

in short, if your phone is rooted, just create an empty file called profile under /system/bin/

in adb shell, change to root user and then do the followings:
touch /system/bin/profile; chmod 644 /system/bin/profile

notice that you may have to remount the /system partition as rw (with read/write permission) first by issuing the command:
mount -o remount,rw /system

according to some of the developers, they found that, up to this moment, there are more then 50 apps containing malwares which can be found in the Android Market, including:

with the power of dual processors, Galaxy S2 scored 1950 in quadrant
good enough? i don think so... although dual processors wont yield a double in performance actually

personally, i don prefer to sort chinese contacts by pinyin, so ...

it's a simple way to show chinese contacts after english one, although it's a bit tricky

to do it, just add a chinese character of your choice (non-printable or chinese symbols) in front of the contact name in chinese, and now they will appear after the letter "Z"
