How-to-use:
* [IMPORTANT] To install the dummy app, it requires you to enable the "Unknown Sources" setting (Thank David LaVeque for the reminder). If you did not change the setting before trying the scanner app, your phone may be falsely reported as vulnerable. In this case, please click 'reset' button, and retry the app.
* Please follow the step 1 -> 2 ->3 to finish the scan. Step 1 starts an app installation procedure. Please follow the procedure and install that dummy app. Step 2 helps to check the existence of vulnerability. Step 3 'reset' will remove that dummy app you just installed.
* You may be asked to install an apk file. This is a dummy app with no content. Since this is a OS vulnerability, we have to go through the installation procedure in order to determine if the device is vulnerable or not. This dummy app will be uninstalled when you press the 'reset' button.
* If the device does not contain this vulnerability, the dummy app will not be installed. So, when you press the 'reset' button, the app uninstallation window will not pop up.
* On some devices, after first install, some devices may report error with "Parser Failure". Please restart the app and try again.
