[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
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.
