This scared me. I just installed a wallpaper app yesterday and while doing so thought "that's weird, why does it my personal information, phone calls etcs". But I still got the app. I guess my excuse is being used to my iphone, I didn't think about exactly how much access I was granting to this random app.

Anyway, I just checked, and the wallpaper app I had wasn't from jackeey. It's a top free app on the marketplace named Backgrounds by Stylem Media. And, it requires access to network communication, personal information, storage, phone calls, and system tools.

I have no idea how the warnings are generated. Maybe devs are just including random libraries in their app (copy paste?) which are setting off these warnings? If not, why does this wallpaper app need my personal info?

Anyway, good wake up call, I will definitely be more careful wrt what I install on my phone.

EDIT: App request: something that logs/polices information going out from my phone. Firewall? we'll be needing a anti-virus next :(
