You're rehashing the same discussion you had with Hanson. Just get apps from the Play Store instead of from some Chinese hacker, and you're fine.

Well, sort of, Sam. Making sense of it all:http://www.androidcentral.com/making-sense-latest-android-security-scare
The Google Play store has been “patched” so that no tampered apps can be uploaded to Google’s servers. That means any app you download from Google Play is clean — at least where this particular exploit is concerned.

So it did affect Play but it is believed to be secure from it again. There are no known apps which were affected before the patch that are disclosed.
