[APK]<demo>NFS: Shift - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Hey guys I yoinked this demo of NFS Shift from my friends Droid X.
The game installed and runs great on my vibrant, you CAN'T buy the full version, it will just sit and try to connect for a few minutes then fail and tell you you have to be connected to the VW network. From what I hear it will be a Droid X exclusive for a few months, then come to the Market
Enjoy

Does not have a trojan, but I understand. Is there anything I can post to prove it's clean?

It does request quite a few permissions Here's what's from the AndroidManifest.xml.
AndroidManifest.xml said:
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"
android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"
android:name="android.permission.BATTERY_STATS"
android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS"
android:name="android.permission.SET_ORIENTATION"
android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"
android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"
android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"

You probably shouldn't run untrusted programs with full internet access with an available data connection active anyway or use something like droidwall to prevent it from calling home. The same could apply for offline-centric applications requesting full internet permissions.
This demo doesn't appear in the system dump somebody posted, I guess it was either removed from that dump to save download size, is present in a different firmware or is side-loaded courtesy of Verizon afterwards like the 'Samsung Apps' does.
It doesn't look anybody has tampererd with it if that's what you're asking. The modified file date on the files in the APK indicate it was compiled on 16/06/2010.

Won't get you too far if you're just going to be paranoid about every app. What's next? people are going to start questioning ROM from a new developer and say oh.. this ROM is probably malicious and steals ur google login.
Get a Anti-Virus app, I use Lookout.. not even sure if it works but I mainly use it for Phone Locator.

Please forgive my ignorance but i downloaded the file, which is an apk.zip file, and cannot figure out how to install this file. I tried putting it on the root of my SD card and installing that way with APK installer, but it could not find the file. Tried using Winzip to unzip but then i dont know which file i need to install. Do you have to have root to install this via the recovery? Please let me know.

Extract.
the file should be ending with .APK nothing more.
put it anywhere on ur SD Card,use a file manager such as Files (preinstalled on Vibrant), ASTRO, Root Manager or whatever.. direct it to where the APK is then install it. it'll probably ask about Unknown Sources, just check that too.

Just got it to work. Here is what i did in case anybody else is having trouble. When i downloaded the file it ended with multiple file extensions, .apk.zip. Did not think of it at first but went in and renamed, removing the .zip and leaving only the .apk at the end, and installed via apk installer. Works like a charm
