Is this some kind of ADVERTISING thread? I don't see any form of discussion to this, if this was a discussion then every thread in here would be started about a particular app.

I use Mobile Defense.
You can lock it, with a passcode.
You can display a message for the thief, like: (Hey I know you live XXXX I am calling the cops)
View the EXACT location with GPS.
If you are rooted and gps is off when you lose it, you can turn it on.
And lastly... You can apply it as a update.zip so the thief can't unistall it.
Just my 2 cents.

Unfortunately, they have a waiting list! Looks like a cool app though.
I have a question, what sort of malware/hacking can be done in Android other than spamming a trillion SMS messages to all your contacts or an app using an exploit to gain superuser? I just don't see the need for anti-virus software in Android. Actually, if you really want anti-virus, it should have a native library so that it can scan application .dex files and binaries faster and better than in Java, and it should use root so that it can access the entire file system for scanning.
The only reason why I have Lookout is because of the GPS positioning. If I loose my phone I can find out where it is and kill the ass hole that stole it
UPDATE: Forgot to thank Master (the OP) for his work

IDK, I didn't even use the anti-virus on this. Just the other.
P.s. Thank me for what?
how is this app on battery life?
Was wandering if this app is for me. Am looking for a good lost phone tracker. Not concerned with "viruses". I know there are other apps out there for tracking, this seems to be the most popular though. What i am concerned with how much resources it uses and its hit on the battery. Also need a app that doesn't require txt service as i use gv.
So how hard a hit does this have on performance and battery ?

DESCRIPTION
Hi all,
I have been trying for a while to find some GPS/CellID tracking programs that work fine but most of them are buggy and not very accurate. That's why I decided to write my own!
Features:
- Ability to generate KML and GPX files that can be opened with any tool that supports that type of file.
- Realtime tracking with Google Earth or Google Maps.
- You can create and manage your own trips
- No internet connection is needed when using TrackMe (Offline mode)
- Ability to display your current position on your PDA
- Geofence with SMS and email notifications
- You can send your current position by email or sms to other person
- Ability to upload pictures. TrackMe will extract the GPS information/Creation date (if any)
from the pictures and it will match it with your existing GPS data
- Search for closest user based on your last uploaded position
- GPS powersave mode available
- You can use your own server instead of my free server
- Stealth mode
- You can force updates with your own custom icon and comments.

If you guys are interested in this program I will keep it updated, otherwise this will be probably one of the last versions!
Please leave your comments, suggestions and ideas here.
Have fun!
Regards
You can Donate if you like my tools. That's always a good motivation for future developments!! Thanks a lot!
that's pretty dope! Where does it upload the data to? Any chance of sharing the source code and people could add to it? maybe open source it?
Thanks kireol.
Right now it's uploading the information to the mysql database that I have with my web hosting.
Regarding the source code... I think it could be a good idea. Maybe once the program is completely stable I may do it. Thanks for your suggestion.
for sure man, you did a great job! And I for one would love to get involved. I was a programmer at Ford for 15 years(C++/PHP/Perl/Java) until those jobs went to India and forced me to throw away my college degree. I've been dieing to get back into programming (5 years now). This last weekend I snagged MS visual studio .net and the wm6 sdk and started compiling. This might b a good transition for me to get back into thinking that way, if you decide you'd like to OS it that is

Thanks ishkatar.
You just need to go to Config, and enter there a username and password.
The account is created automatically as soon as you start uploading GPS data.
If for any reason the username already exists or there is any other error, you will be notified.
We always approve such moves!!!! Go on and keep up the good work!!!
Very cool.
Maybe you could release the table structure and a way for people to host their own data...like a personal web app.

Wow ... works perfectly!!! I just did a test walk around my office and it mapped it perfectly!!! Good work Staryon. I'm really eager to see how you did it.
Thanks a lot for all your comments. That really encourages me to keep updating the software.
laakness, at this moment the data is inserted into the mysql tables by using HTTP calls. My website gets the HTTP call and depending on the command it will do the specified task. That means that what you mention it would work if they have a website with PHP and a mysql database. A nice feature that I could add in the future is to make the inserts directly to the database instead of using HTTP calls.
However this is something that may not work for many web hostings because they usually don't allow access to mysql from external applications (which is my case by the way)
For the KML files (Google Earth's files) I used a structure that I liked in one of the tools that I found that does something similar to this. I made some modifications though.
I edited my previous post. Obviously where I said URL calls I meant HTTP calls.
Sorry for the confusion!
I have not yet installed it but it looks really cool from the screen shots. I have been using 3DTracking (free) but it is not without its problems and does not look as comprehensive as this. Does it carry on logging position after you power-down (standby) the Kaiser? 3DTracking does and its a real pain as it means you have to keep the screen on all the time!!
Thanks for the info.
I actually do host my own site using PHP/Apache/Mysql which is why I was asking

This app lets you shut the screen off which is great. This app also alows you to set your upload and update intervals. They are great and needed options.

Very good. In that case I can provide everything that you need to use your website.
However, I will have to make it some changes in my code because at this moment the HTTP calls are hardcoded to my website. Once I have this done I will post it here.

We must be neighbors of a sort. I work in Herndon (Worldgate) and was pretty surprised to a bird’s eye view of my office. Hope you aren’t getting stuck doing that toll road shuffle for an am commute – lol.
I installed it on my Wing, but it is not responding.
first error I got. unable to open port 4
I changed to port 1 and what I get is - waiting for gps respond.
not working for me.
Do I have to be outside the house for this or online?

I have written an app called TouchRC to enable me to control my windows media center (vista and windows 7) from my phone.
Download link and screenshots can be found on the codeplex site here.
I will try and pad this post out a bit more as soon as i get decent amount of time to do it!

Nice! Too bad I have Media Center 2005 or I would love this.
i will try it
i cant get the wmcontroller app to work in WIndows 7 RC'
does anyone knows what to do
I tried to get this potentially great software to work with Vista Premium incl. TV Pack but whenever I start VMC I get an error message 'can't load...' :-(
Any help is most welcome.
what are the limitations of this software, evorgevol?
specifically the following 4:
- what type of connection(s) does it use to connect to VMC/w7MC (wifi only, or bt optional)?
- is it intelligent enough to work with VMC plugin's? (my movies, MCEweather, daemon tools etc)
- is this a complete replacement for an MCE remote - ie, could i remove the IR-transmitter/reciever?
- is it intelligent enough to realise what menu it is in, and filter out un-used options (ie: 'channel change' and 'record' would be removed if in pictures/dvd area)?

It connects over TCP/IP, so it would have to be connected to your local area network.
This is only really a simple program that interacts with the VmcContoller application, so can only do reasonably basic stuff. I have added functionality to so that it can use the MyMovies application metadata, though most of this is still in progress.
It depends on what you use your remote for as to whether this can be a complete replacement. I currently dont have, and have no intentions in the near future of, having a number/keyboard pad. So if you use these a lot, then it probably won't be a full replacement.
I had planned to make the now playing screen a bit more wise about what type of media is playing, and display different icons accordingly, but this has been marked as more a of a 'nice to have' in the application which i might work on in the future, but have other things I'd rather get working first.
Hope that answers some of your queries...
evorgevol
indeed they all are 'nice-ities', and it wont stop me considering playing with your app.
thanks for answers
Unfortunately, the media center network controller software can not be installed on a Vista X64 pc. I would really like to use this app on my mobile device!
Regards,
André
Man this is absolutely awesome!!!
I don't have a MS MediaCenter solution but MythTV, so I wanted to do the same app like you did but for MythTV quite a while.... I already gave up in searching a usable GUI framework like your Fluidity and started writing my own (Which took basically up all my time so far - that's why there is not even an app yet ... But your solution kicks the living sh**t out my little approach.
Is it ok if I borrow up the framework and perhaps some junks of code from your app??? I don't think I'd get it done better if I would try myself, so it would be nice if I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. I will of course list you in the credits page of the app.
I spend some hours browsing through your code and I think I got almost through in understanding how the controls basically work. The only thing I miss is the complete overview of how the binding to the actual data is done. The idea with the Templates for the single Items is pretty neat and makes it extremly flexible!

Thanks for reminding me... I forgot to give the original author credit!!! The control framework I use on TouchRC is called Fluid controls, and it's on codeplex here.
I will update my codeplex to give him the credit he deserves, I certainly wouldnt have been able to do any of my app without it!!
Just for thought though, if you create a TCP/IP server for your app, and use the same receive commands as VmcController, then you should just be able to use my app entirely! Or, if you do make it different, and you want me to, I can add your commands to my app too, so that the user would be able to control both windows and myth from the same application!

WIN 7 RC1 how to install
so u guys have a lil question...
how to install this awesome prog on win 7 RC 1?
ive installed touchRC on my XDA Orbit...
then installed VMCControl on my win7...

http://www.nloit.co.uk/downloads/vmccontrollerwin7source.zip
and ran the DevInstall.cmd...
opened up MC...
added the name of my PC to touchrc...
ran touchrc...
clicked on "Now Playing"...

Can you load up the http server for vmc? (ie, on a diff computer, go to http://hostpc:40510) and see if that works? if it doesn't, then it probably means that VmcController isn't working properly. If this is the case, then revert to the codeplex site of VmcController to ask for help.

Thanks a lot for the offer, but I plan to build a 'richer' remote client for MythTV. Means, besides a remote control function I want to be able to browse the Program Guide, Recordings, Movies, Music, Pictures on the phone and select them to play on the PC/TV.
And I have some other ideas which would be pretty neat, but for now I am already happy if I get the above items finished. (technically thats usually no prob, but once you solved all the tiny little problems and know how to code the whole thing it often gets boring )

Good to know. I'am going to keep a close eye on your project
Hey evorgevol,
any updates on the app yet?
I now have the basic server + client API done so far for my project. I hope I'll reach the alpha state up to your level within the next 1 or 2 months... Then it should really go quick...

I've been stupidly busy recently, so haven't had any chance to work on it for a while. I'm hoping that will change next month. I have made some minor updates to it (but not checked it in), but won't be making another release for a couple of weeks yet. Hopefully soon though!!! How's yours coming along?
Hi all,
My work Exchange account enforces security on my SGS2 which requires password protection. Only PIN and password is allowed, I cannot choose swipe gesture (annoying btw, is there a hack for that??).
I have a four-digit PIN set as it is the quickest to enter. It is still a bit irritating however to have to enter it and hit OK every time I check my phone, regardless of whether I locked it 10 seconds ago or 10 hours ago.
On my iPhone I could set the autolock not to engage until after 20 minutes of no interaction. I haven't found this setting on my SGS2 but I'd really like to have it.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks for all help!
Me too!
Exactly the same here. Annoyingly, some colleagues using IPhones also sync with exchange and don't appear to have the same problem with enforced security.
I'd love to hear the responses to this thread, but in the meantime, this is all I have to offer:
Talk to your sysadmin and see if the permissions can be changed at the exchange-end
You can occasionally "switch off" exchange security in Settings - maybe in your "off-peak" times. Don't have the phone to hand, but in Settings - Security - Device administrators, delete exchange and then set your swipe security. Exchange will then stop working and will nag you with security messages when you try to access it. When you want it back, just click on the notification and rekey your PIN - exchange will "own" your phone again.
Seriously, whoever thought this was a sensible implementation of security must be an Android-hater.

For the second option, phone will take time to decrypt and encrypt which is even more annoying if the storage is almost full. I don't know whether its the encryption/decryption or something else that spoilt my Micro SD card but strangely it got corrupted after a bit of tinkering like this and firmware change.
See if Moxier mail app (trial version) as it encrypts within the app than at a device level. If it works, worth spending money later if it works. Touchdown or other mail apps haven't worked for me so can't really comment about them. I guess they also have encryption at an app level that will address exchange server security policies. Give it a try. See what happens!
not sure if this is what yer looking for but "juice defender" has an option to set different time out lengths for screen off and screen lock, it also an extra option to set the lock to never come on when in range of home wifi etc.
i use juice defender ultimate not sure if the "lesser" versions have this feature.
@hari: I read somewhere that Touchdown does a similar thing, enforcing things on a application level. Actually, I think it was on the touchdown website (which seemed a little odd that they'd avertise it)..
How does Moxier Mail go with integration? I.e. is the sync'd schedule available to other applications?
Thanks for the tips guys.
I do not really like the idea of completely disabling my work Exchange sync, I am dependent on it.
Furthermore, I don't think Moxier will do it for me as I need fully integrated calendar sync as well.
Juice Defender might do it for me actually if it lets me delay the lock engagement. I'll try it out and post back.
Doesn't look like JuiceDefender is able to override the PIN lock timeout enforced by Exchange security, unfortunately.
Aaahh, I'd kill to have that lock time out/wifi dependent lock functionality JD offers!
Stupid Exchange security..

Not exactly sure what you mean by "sync'd schedule available to other applications?". If I understood correctly, Moxier has calendar, contacts and tasks sync. And it appears in "Accounts and Sync" option like other synced accounts like Gmail etc. with a flexibility to chose push/pull as per time of the day.
Only downside with all these apps is (one can live with this limitation though!), they have their own inbox, calendar within the app (instead of unified inbox, calendar etc..). Anyway, as such we're used to Gmail within its own app.

Did you talk to your exchange admins? This might be the easiest option.
On the subject of my 2nd suggestion: Yes, it's a kludge but it really doesn't take much to switch it on/off. I didn't have any problems as discussed above with encryption/decryption and/or filling storage; it just worked. And switching it off and on in the manner I described doesn't cause a delay.
But the best option is to talk to your admins. Show them this Dilbert if they offer resistance:

Did you talk to your exchange admins? This might be the easiest option.
On the subject of my 2nd suggestion: Yes, it's a kludge but it really doesn't take much to switch it on/off. I didn't have any problems as discussed above with encryption/decryption and/or filling storage; it just worked. And switching it off and on in the manner I described doesn't cause a delay.
But the best option is to talk to your admins. Show them this Dilbert if they offer resistance:

Hahaha, fantastic.
Unfortunately, talking to mu Exchange admin isn't really an option. I work for a very large consulting firm.

Same here..
Somewhere I also read, you can patch up your email application on the phone to disable the security..
For me thats not an viable option. I have to use Lotus Connect, which install its own version of mail application.
My Desire HD had an option of delaying the password lock based on the inactivity.
So I guess its somewhere there..

Why don't we ever hear of such usability issues in the many glowing reviews that are out there? I'm not winging, but its such a PITA to have to constantly reenter a 4-digit PIN that is directly impacts on your ability to use the phone. What about driving for example? You can't get past this screen to make a call, even with a bluetooth handsfree kit.
Not clever Android. What we need (in the absence of admins who are not BOFH) is exactly what is suggested in the thread title. BTW, When I mentioned above that IOS doesn't have the problem I think that's not quite true - the difference is that it splits the 2 functions: Screen Off & "logged out". I understand you can configure the 2 values seperately.
Now if my phone had that and would stop rebooting when it felt like it, it would be perfect!

I don't want to start an <ANYTHING> Vs Android argument but my 4 year old HC TYTN II did the "boring"* stuff better than my SGGS2:
Office document editing - has anybody looked at Excel in Polaris? A fag-box and a blunt pencil could offer a stiff challenge.
Access to exchange data (as above)
Handsfree support for making phone calls. I'm talking voice recognition, phone security and bluetooth here.
I'm not ranting - I knew what I was doing when I bought the phone and, yes, I much prefer it to my prehistoric WM device. Having said that, I'd just wish it was a little better at some of the boring stuff above. Yes, 1080p video recording, Dual-core HD games, etc, etc are wonderfull, but probably wasted on me!

On the market page it says "DOES NOT WORK IF EXCHANGE REQUIRES A PIN!".
The Exchange-enforced security is exactly what I wanted to circumvent in the first place.
@elite_gamer04
I use the hack from this thread on my SGS2 with Litening ROM 6.1, and it works perfectly, I've used it for months.
I know alot of people try to protect their devices with lock keys/patterns, while this may keep people from getting ahold of your personal files, what it does not do is provide a means of recovering a stolen unit, actually quite the opposite.
Coming over from a TF101, a lock screen does not protect you as much as you'd think. The first thing a theif will do in the event of a lockscreen is google a way around it. On the transformer this was simple - boot into recovery and factory reset through cwm. After that you're kind of screwed. Since we don't have CWM yet it works in our favor, but you don't want them to have to resort to that to use the device.
What you want to do is let your theif get into your device so you can track them.
Now I know you're thinking, "can't they just factory reset through settings?".
Nope. Install UAG Tab, this isn't a free app ($1.99), but it will protect apps from being opened with a password (pin, pattern, etc). So what you want to do is lock settings, titanium backup, root browsers, superuser, my apps, market, and download managers. I lock anything with root access that can delete things. The reason I recommend this over privacy gaurd and other free apps of this nature is because UAG has more settings, more lock methods, UAG helper (prevents it from being removed by anyone besides you), can remove its self from the app drawer, and has a nicer UI.

Acessing one of those apps results in...
Once you have settings locked down, and any way an attacker can remove UAG. You'll want to download Cerberus.
Cerberus is the master race of stolen device apps. It allows you to do the following.
-Wipe data
-Track gps
-Capture webcam shots
-Sound alarms
-Record audio
-Get network information about the network the device is connected to.
-Last calls sent and received
-Hide from app drawer
-Record video (v2.0)
-others
Cerberus is free to download, but you only get a week of service for free, then you need to buy a key for service (around 4 or 5 dollars, cheap considering all it does). Cerberus requires device administrator privileges, which is why it's essential you lock settings with UAG.
I have cerberus synced with my 2nd gmail account that is on my tablet, so if you do this you'll need to change your email password before you try to recover your tablet in the event of it being stolen so you don't notify your attacker (I also lock gmail with UAG for billing purposes).
Since the transformer prime doesn't have phone service, you can't send commands to cerberus through sms (edit: apparently google talk lets you send sms, but seeing as it needs a wifi signal to receive this it's not particularly useful at this time). This means you need to have alot of wifi connections setup prior to it being stolen because you'll want your theif to access the internet. Here are some examples.
-attwifi (starbucks uses this)
-mcdonalds wifi
-panera bread wifi
-chickfila wifi
-linksys (most of these work on different linksys routers)
-your college campus network
-any other location you visit often, because you're more likely to be in that area to be robbed, and the theif may visit there again.
Keep in mind they won't be able to connect to more networks with settings locked, so this is important. If anyone knows of a way to connect to networks outside outside of settings, tell me and I will add this- because they NEED to be using your device to check their facebooks, while unknowingly broadcasting their location.
I hope this helps.

very nice. there is another on the market for free called Avast!. it will write itself to the /system partition so that a factory reset cant get rid of the app and it hides itself from the app drawers and list after setup. requires root though
I was thinking about that earlier, writing apps to /system/ could protect them even from cwm - but wouldn't the app data be lost in a reset? Similar to how gmail is in /system/app/ but a reset still loses your data.

ya, that does make sense. im not a developer, so im not 100% sure how it works, but Avast! says that it protects the app no matter what. whether you use CWM, a dialer code (in phones), or the in OS method. resetting it saves it. lol NO idea how...

I don't develop much but I'm in college to get into information systems security.
I used the trendmicro mobile security app when I first started using android, which has similar features to both avast and Cerberus, but costs substantially more at 29.99 a year. I still wish trendmicro would do a port of rootkit blaster or rubotted like they have for windows.
Would be nice if there were a method to receive sms on the transformer prime.

you might as well be talking to me in chinese, dood. i use windows defender (i know, be gentle), i do not know much about computers. and im only slightly better with android lol
but good luck with school man, there should ALWAYS be a HIGH demand for information systems security!
I wrote some scripts in Tasker that do the majority of what Cerberus does, and then some, including the remote camera uploads and some fun things like forcing a phone to call me with speakerphone on, wherever it is. The problem with a WiFi tablet is that you can't track it when it's not connected to WiFi.
Frankly, I think AndroidLost is a better simple solution that's free. And Avast Mobile also has anti-theft options with root support that will allow it to survive a factory reset.
Both of the apps you propose cost money, which is really unnecessary when there are solutions that work just as well for no cost.
Well, it's a combined total of about 7 dollars. I paid around 690 for the tablet with dock, so 1% of that to recover it was an easy bargain.
You can do most of these things in ssh with a remote access client installed on the tablet if you're strapped for cash, it's just more convenient to install an app to do it.
Also I did mention privacy guard which is free, and there are a few free alternatives to Cerberus, I just don't think they're as featured.

rubotted is a botnet detection app and rootkit blaster is a rootkit remover. Generally speaking, botnets and rootkits are things you don't want on your system.

My TFP and dock cost me $0, and thus $0 is what I pay for software to recover it. AndroidLost really is an excellent app.

Once again, AndroidLost is as good Cerberus appears to be according to the feature list; thus I'm hardly leaving a car unlocked.
As I've mentioned previously, I secure my phone using a pretty involved Tasker script, backed by Avast with it's root support allowing it to survive a factory reset.
As I've not yet rooted my Prime and my Tasker scripts are highly dependent upon cellular signal, when I got my Prime I fired up AppAware and scrolled through the highest-rated apps until I found the security app that is rated the highest of all that are free, AndroidLost. After installing it and finding that it really is quite excellent, I've stuck with it.
Just because an app is free does not mean it has to be any less effective than one that is not. In fact, I find many free apps seem to be written by people more concerned with making and supporting a quality application than making money.

AndroidLost is fine, but like I said before it's just not as featured. Cerberus allows you to send commands forcing the device to automatically connect to networks in range and also record video, which are just 2 of the features androidlost lacks. You can flash cerberus with rom manager so if your device is reset it's not deleted. LSDroid has developers that are making sure cerberus is optimized for ice cream sandwich, in addition to having tablet support. There's nothing wrong with capitalism and developers getting paid for their work.
Plus you can rick roll thieves.
Without an app like UAG there's nothing stopping someone from flashing a new rom anyway.

The problem remains that you need a wifi connection to receive it :\
So Maybe I don't get the complete picture. But if I were a thief, and I would notice that all the main apps were locked. I would still do a cwm recovery wipe and then there's still no way to trace your stolen prime.... Well offcourse when it's availible. So this is more a kind of temporarily security... Or am I missing something here?
the main app for most people is the browser imo. Even then cerberus and UAG can be flashed with rom manager. The most dangerous move is to give them no other choice but to have to google how to hard reset, rather than to have all your settings secure the way they are on your current rom. As long as they can still play games and get on the browser they should be content thieves long enough for you to file police reports and track them down.
Let's not forget a majority of people who would rob you are like marvin guzman.
It appears that UAG Tab is no longer available on Google Play. Is there anything similar that is as nice or featureful?
Ah, never mind. I found it by looking for the creator's site as listed in their app's package name in the URL link.
being as this was almost 3-4 months ago is there any updated way of achieving this level or greater level of security our is it still all the same procedure and setup?

Just don't worry and log in because Google already knows everyones account passwords (at least that's what I think because Google does steal data). What you can do is log in temporarily when you watch videos and afterwards log out.

I said ' I think ' . Anyway, when Google drive takes a backup of device it takes backup of wifi password too. This drive backup is only restorable while setting up a new device. But before restoring this backup you need a network of course so you turn on WiFi and enter password, then you restore so what is the need to take backup of wifi password ?????

As with Android - no matter what version: Wi-Fi passwords always are stored in Plain-Text-mode in file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
So you easily can pull that file to PC and inspect it:
Code:
adb devices
adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf C:\wpa_supplicant.conf

Also, it has the word in plural terms meaning that it backups more than one wifi password. And if you have mobile data you can still restore wifi isn't needed.
I have 3 wifi aps in my house and ofc the router itself.
The passwords are different in each of them(don't ask me why) but saving those passwords are useful so it isn't needed to reenter them again.
