IMPORTANT.. CHECK ON THE FIRST PAGE FOR UPDATES.
WARNING : This software has some pretty powerful features so use at your own risk. Importantly, please read the instructions below.
Hi guys.
This is my first software using .NETCF for Windows Mobile Phone. I know this software is peanuts compared to what is out there, but I wish this would be useful to all of you as well. This software helps you track and recover your phone once stolen or lost. Features includes :
1. A Thief or Lost Prevention Software with SMS Auto-Responder and GPS Capability created for Windows Mobile Devices.
2. When you forget your phone and can''t remember where you put it, you can SMS your phone to get the exact location via GPS information if your phone has GPS Capability or approximate location based on Cell Location.
3. You can SMS your phone for other information such as IMSI, IMEI or even remotely reboot your phone etc.
4. This software is also equipped with Thief Prevention system which will automatically SMS your partner phone number if the SIM has been changed against the registered SIM.
5. This software supports registration of Multiple SIM Cards and of Multiple Phone Conctacts as Partners.
6. When your phone has been stolen, it will automatically SMS relevant information such as IMEI, SIM Card Number or IMSI, GPS Location if supported or Cell Location.
7. It is able to also auto-delete Phone Memory Contacts if the phone has been stolen.
8. It is password protected and the password is encrypted with AES-Encryption.
9. Its un-install proof. It requires special procedure to uninstall the protection, so even if you uninstall it, it is still working.
10. It has MortScript support.
You need atleast .NETCF 2.0 for this app to work (which most Windows Mobile has so not to worry).
Note that Cell Location depends on your device. It should be working but the problem is not all devices interfaces with RIL functionality so it may or may not work.
For testing, kindly use Emulation Mode to determine if the application will work on your phone before using these features :
1. Make Phone Unusable
2. Protected Folders
3. Delete Contacts on SIM Change
Emulation mode will run the protection, however on test mode only and not real mode. Therefore, it will just produce a log file to tell you of the action it is supposed to make (however since its a test mode, it does not do that action). If everything is fine, make sure that after testing, to disable the emulation mode.
This was only tested on GSM-based phones. If you have Non-GSM Based phone, and you want to try it out, kindly do and let me know.
This software also can accept SMS Commands from the partner phone so that it can return informations as commanded by you explicitly. Here are the SMS Commands that you can send. Note though that the SMS is only accepted when :
1. The SMS came from a partner phone. (You need to register the phone as a partner phone first).
2. The password is correct. Password is based on the password that you have saved when you configure SmartProtect on your phone. The password is authenticated by the phone once the SMS Command is received.
3. When the SMS Command is correct.
The SMS commands syntax is :
::/[command],[password]
example :
::/getGPSLocation,mypassword
Available Commands are :
getIMEI - Retrieves the IMEI Number
lockMyPhone - makes your phone unusable
enableLockPhone - Enable the Lock Mechanism of your Phone. When your phone is stolen, your phone will become unusable.
rebootPhone - Reboots your phone.
deleteContacts -Deletes your mobile phone contacts. It does not delete the SIM Card Contacts.
unregisterPhone - Unregisters the sender as a partner phone.
disableSecurity - Disables the security mechanism of your phone. This requires restart to take effect.
enableSecurity - Enables the security mechanism of your phone.This requires restart to take effect.
getIMSI - Retrieves the IMSI Number.
alertContacts - alerts your contacts that your phone has been stolen.
getCellLocation - Gets the approximate location based on Cell Tower that your phone has registered to.
getGPSLocation - Retrieves the GPS Coordinates.
exitApp - When you use getGPSLocation command, this application stays in the memory. This command exits the application. However, this applications will still be activated if any of the command is received.
registerPhone - Registers your sender as partner phone number.
listCommands - List the commands available for the Software.
versionInfo - Retrieves the current version of the SmartProtect.
deleteProtectedFolders - Removes the protected folders.
disableEmulation - Disabled the emulation mode.
stopAlert- Stops the alertContacts action.
stopAlert- Stops the alertContacts action.
runPreScript- Runs the pre-action MortScript you've defined.
runPostSCript- Runs the post-action MortScript you've defined.
runAllScripts- Runs all the MortScripts you've defined.
To install the software, unzip the file and run the setup.exe. Make sure you connect your device to the computer for syncing.
Leave your comments if you have suggestions, concerns or reported bugs here[/url]
This has not been tested on Non-GSM based phone.
IMPORTANT :
Please follow the procedure below to update the software :
1. From the partner phone. SMS your phone with the command ::/exitApp,[password]. This is to make sure that the SMS module is not loaded in the memory or update may fail.
2. Uninstall the SmartProtect. (optional)
3. Install the latest SmartProtect. If you didnt uninstall smart protect, it will ask you if you want to uninstall the older SmartProtect. Just click.
4. Once installed, Run SmartProtect to verify that your settings is still there.
5. Once verified, click either exit or save.
6. You will be notified that there's a need to restart the phone. Proceed to restart.
7. To verify its installed, SMS your phone with ::/versionInfo,<password>. This should yield the latest version.
Thanks!!

THOSE WITH SMS MODULE OF SMARTPROTECT NOT WORKING
Kindly run SmartProtect on Emulation Mode and test by sending SMS commands. The emulation mode works for all commands except for disableemulation, versioninfo and listcommands. Then the resulting log, kindly send to me for debugging purposes. Note that in emulation mode, no SMS will be sent out and all actions are recorded on the log file

Updates.
1. Added Reboot messages if required during exit.
2. Added About Message
3. Changed title to SmartProtect on the first screen.

Yap, Freeware after final release. I'm thinking of adding further features but I'll probably save it on the next version. I'll stabilize this version first.
Btw, unlike IIWPO, this software uses your SIM Card as registration instead of Owner Information. Every SIM Card has a unique number which can be used as a Unique Identifier of the owner of the phone.
Thanks!!
Yep, I know and understand your point.
But most with the feature you have are not freeware.
Thank you very much for the effort.
Trinity has GPS.
Flame does not.
Edit: Need to uninstall IIWPO before trying this?

Hi Smotrs,
That's a good question. The answer is maybe it won't work. I haven't tried the application in Non GSM phone. You may try and let me know if it works. I'm happy to add that feature.
I'm using TAPI to get the Subscriber ID. I'm not sure if this will return the same CDMA subscriber ID. But for GSM, this is equal to the IMSI which is the Sim card Number.
Thanks!!
I discovered a bug but minor. If the phone is in PIN mode for a while and the SmartProtect kicks in, even if the SIM Card is correct, the application will detect a wrong SIM Card (probably because the SIM has not been registered yet??) and therefore sends SMS. Once the PIN has been keyed in, and the SIM has been registered, the protection stops.
The bug does not always happen. Only when the PIN Mode has been idle for a while.
I'll fix this by adding a detection of PIN entry.
Just to let you all know.
Thanks!!
A couple of questions...What do you mean by make the phone unuseable?....Also is their some type of way that you can send a hard reset command to the phone (which also delete's files on the Memory Card as well)?

Hi,
The application will blank the screen and therefore unusable. He can't see what's happening on the screen. He is able to receive a call though and answer it via the Keypad. He can receive SMS but he can't see it.
For your feature request, I have thought of that and will add that as well. My thought is like this. Users are able to choose which folders (Phone Memory and Memory Card) they want to be protected so in the event that the phone is stolen, these folders are either automatically deleted or deleted based on trigger via SMS. I've plans to add this feature on the next version after the final version (unless there's not much bug to be fixed which means I have time to add the feature for the final release). For now, my plan is to stabilize and fix minor bugs to make it final before adding the new features.
But not to worry though, I'll definitely add this as I've thought of this as well.
Thanks!!
Is there any way (such as if the phone is recovered) to make the phone re-useable, or is a hard-reset the only solution?
Looks like an awesome app! What a great idea. I'll hold out for someone else to test it on their non GSM phone, but can't wait.
I think the protected folders idea is fantastic, that way a person could make sure all their pictures etc are gone.

Hi,
Normally, just insert the correct SIM Card and it will work. But, for example--
Let's say you manage to recover the phone but the SIM Card has already been thrown by the thief.The solution here is to :
1. Send an SMS from your partner phone to the recovered phone with the disableSecurity command. This will disable the security of the phone.
2. Send an SMS from your partner phone a resetPhone command to reboot the phone. This is to apply the disabled changes you've SMS'ed previously.
2. Run SmartProtect and register the SIM Card
3. Enable Security.
Your phone will then be protected with the new SIM Card in-place.
Thanks!!
Updated the software with the following changes :
1. Fix for PIN Mode issue.
2. Use schedule instead of sleeping during interval run, to make the software more responsive to SMS Commands once the protection runs.
Let me know if you need further information or if the update didn't go thru well.
Thanks!!
To survice hardreset, cook your own rom.
Configuring the setting and found some question, possible improvement and suggestion.
Suggest to put a warning message that User to backup their contacts before trying out one of the feature "Delete Contact on SIM Change".
But on SIM change, it will be deleting the changed SIM Contacts, not my SIM's contacts or Phone's memory contacts.
Anyway, I am backing up my contacts now before I click that option.
Suggest to also get the "Owner Information" sent in SMS like IIWPO when the content change so you may know more things about this thief.
My question is, if phone is unusable, how to send SMS? Or you are just locking the voice but not the SMS?
If you go to "Settings->Remove Programs", you see JLG SmartProtect, you can still remove program, make this invisible.
You have SmartProtect in "StartUp" which is needed, but the program should be running is secret invisible mode upon power up and not visible to the thief.

Or you can register 2 SIM Card. Chances of you losing 2 phones together is slim. Once the phone is back, insert the other SIM Card, it will be ok.
Looking at the feature, it should able to register more than 1 SIM, right?
After Configure, only switching on the Sercurity Mode, with my first SIM, I tried to test by switching to another SIM.
Upon power up with another SIM, the SmartProtect tried to execute from "StartUp" but gives an error message.
Tried getting into SmartProtect from "Program", it gives the same error message.
Putting back the original SIM, able to get into the configurating program.
Is this the correct behaviour?

Hi,
The first one seems to be an error. Is it an application error ?Can you click on details of the error and show me the screenshot ?
Second one is a correct behaviour. SmartProtect will not get executed until you've inserted the correct SIM Card. This is to protect it from someone else configuring other than you (assuming your phone was lost).
I've released a latest update on the first page. Can you try that one ? I will give you instructions on private on to configure manually first as I'm encountering errors on my post application.
Thanks!!
Hello to all;
I have came across the app. Pdroid (for managing security settings in my phone); and I´m really interested into installing it; even thou I didn´t catch exactly what to do (even with the patch creator for Windows).
My fear resides into the use of Gingerreal 1.4 Rom, so here´s my question...
Does anyone using Gingerreal 1.4 for Ace have compiled the patch ?
If yes, would you care to share it or at least give me more instructions into how to create the patch myself ?
This is the link to the app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
Thanks a lot for the support.
Some help... ?
Hello to All;
I have obtained help from user "frsp2" on the Pdroid Topic, here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056&page=65
He help creating a patch to install Pdroid in my Ace and the Gingerreal 1.4 ROM.
So here are the links for the patch
Im using Ginger Real 1.4
SGA-GR-1.4_GINGERBREAD.XWKPW
http://www.mediafire.com/?qjpbq5bt0xanmpw - patch
http://www.mediafire.com/?ooc9wd8bwg9lw50 - reverse patch
And here some desctiption of Pdroid:
PDroid allows blocking access for any installed application to the following data separately:
Device ID (IMEI/MEID/ESN)
Subscriber ID (IMSI)
SIM serial (ICCID)
Phone and mailbox number
Incoming call number
Outgoing call number
GPS location
Network location
List of accounts (including your google e-mail address)
Account auth tokens
Contacts
Call logs
Calendar
SMS
MMS
Browser bookmarks and history
System logs
SIM info (operator, country)
Network info (operator, country)
For device ID, phone and mailbox number, SIM serial, subscriber ID and device location it also allows supplying custom or random values.
Why you would want to use it:
Applicaitons do NOT crash when access to private data is blocked (unlike with Permissions Denied or CM)
Fine-grained tuning of access to private data
No background service needed
Very small memory footprint (~700KB)
No impact on battery life
No impact on performance (5ms overhead on access to private data; yes, that's 0.005s)
100% reliable unlike ROOT applications (LBE), which need to start their background service on boot (see android underground to learn why this is an issue)
No ROOT required for the app to run
No Android permissions required for the app to run
Open-source
I have found that many apps require permissions even when not open... so I´m very happy with this tool, hopefully can be useful to others.
Hi, I tried remove some games and scopes but their are still in my phone. Do you know where are installed? I wanna delete with console but I don't know where are the files. Locate command doesn't works amb find command is not enough.
This is a pic, an image is better than a text from a non english XD

Solved,
User manual: Deleting (Uninstalling) Scopes and Apps
You can’t delete the main Scopes and apps that were on your phone when you took it out of the box. All the others – the ones you have downloaded and installed yourself – can be deleted (or uninstalled) by visiting the Ubuntu Store and searching for your app or Scope. In the preview screen for the Scope or app you want to delete, you will see options to either update or uninstall it. Tap ‘Uninstall’ and let Ubuntu do the rest. The quickest way to access the preview screen for an app is to give a long press on the icon in the Apps Scope.
When deleting an application, their data will still remain on your phone, even for user-installed apps.
Their data can be found in the following places:
Code:
~/.local/share/<APP ID>
~/.config/<APP ID>

How can I by pass, i have the code the problem is the WiFi, Wereas it is connected,
Hi everyone,
Is there any people already used Multiple users in MIUI?
I need to use Multiple android users on my Redmi Note 8T running MIUI 11 very much.
In order to do that I turned off MIUI optimizations and changed build.prop(via unlocking bootloader) to have:
fw.max_users=5
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Also tried adding:
fw.show_hidden_users=1
fw.power_user_switcher=1
I see the "Multiple Users" option in Settings now.
However, when I create New User, finish it's setup process and switch back to Owner,
I can't use this New User anymore. It doesn't let me switch to it again. (Click on "New User" in users list does nothing.)
Also there is no User icon in notification bar menu to switch users.
I have a guess why:
1) MIUI Second Space feature: when I create new user and set up it's profile I constantly see Second Space Icon in the notification bar near battery percentage.
And only way it lets me switch back to Owner is clicking on "Switch" Icon (which was automatically created shortcut at main screen). Clicking Owner in "Multiple Users" menu does nothing.
2) not as plausible as first one but: When I create new user profile it doesn't let me finish the process without setting it's password first. Maybe
Second Space logic somehow can't use new profile password.
Is there any people already used Multiple users in MIUI?
Or maybe someone have any ideas on how to disable Second Space interception of users switch with modifying some prop files or other system files?
I will appreciate any help with this very much.
PS. Also I know there is an option to switch users via running terminal/shell commands, but it's not so convinient to run these commands every time and it requires root.
I prefer to not root the device and try every option I can first.
If there is nothing to do with that, then I am willing to use Lineage OS instead of rooted MIUI.
Thanks for any feedback!
I have the same issues, I add a new user from 'multiple users' in settings, but I have no way of actually switching back and forth between user profiles. Even EMUI allows this, which I never knew was possible up until a few days ago.
Any Updates?
I have same problem.
Is there a fix?
I m also searching for this only...
Is anyone knows this?

In order to do that I turned off MIUI optimizations and changed build.prop(via unlocking bootloader) to have:
fw.max_users=5
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Also tried adding:
fw.show_hidden_users=1
fw.power_user_switcher=1
I see the "Multiple Users" option in Settings now.
However, when I create New User, finish it's setup process and switch back to Owner,
I can't use this New User anymore. It doesn't let me switch to it again. (Click on "New User" in users list does nothing.)
Also there is no User icon in notification bar menu to switch users.
I have a guess why:
1) MIUI Second Space feature: when I create new user and set up it's profile I constantly see Second Space Icon in the notification bar near battery percentage.
And only way it lets me switch back to Owner is clicking on "Switch" Icon (which was automatically created shortcut at main screen). Clicking Owner in "Multiple Users" menu does nothing.
2) not as plausible as first one but: When I create new user profile it doesn't let me finish the process without setting it's password first. Maybe
Second Space logic somehow can't use new profile password.
Is there any people already used Multiple users in MIUI?
Or maybe someone have any ideas on how to disable Second Space interception of users switch with modifying some prop files or other system files?
I will appreciate any help with this very much.
PS. Also I know there is an option to switch users via running terminal/shell commands, but it's not so convinient to run these commands every time and it requires root.
I prefer to not root the device and try every option I can first.
If there is nothing to do with that, then I am willing to use Lineage OS instead of rooted MIUI.
Thanks for any feedback!
