[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I can't really say... battery almost felt the same to me, given that I was running both 3.4 and 3.5 at the same settings... but honestly speaking, I didn't have it on long enough to be able to proffer an educated opinion. If I was asked like my life depended on it, I would venture that battery life on both versions was identical...:p
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
My impression on 3.5 was the battery life improved a little bit. But I cannot state clear facts at the moment though.

also IMO the feeling didn't change. It's still the same safe home to come back to after some adventures :-)

I flashed the battery percentage mod cause I don't need the swipe notification feature. It's only one button and all notifications are gone, why deleting them one by one?

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
ahh so its just about the same, in that case being as lazy i am i'll just use 3.5 again :D

If when system is out of memory, this mod will clear the task which will free the most memory...so what happens if you're playing an intensive game or watching some videos...in those cases, won't the foreground app be killed...

And as for v6 script, the script changes the system's default definition of "out of memory"...

I unlocked my phone, superuser-ed it and flashed latest CWM recovery.

All the files are on the sd, but I can't get ARHD 5 rom to work on my device.

In the thread they suggested I posted here to see if any other t-mobile users with a T-mobile locked rom 1.26 still (CID 110.5) got it to work with their device.

Hi all,

I've just unlocked my Xperia S' bootloader.

Of course before unlocking I've backed up contacts and SMS using PC companion.

I've even syncd contacts with Outlook.

Well, after unlocking... SURPRISE! I can restore everything but contacts and SMS.

PC Companion keeps saying he cannot restore them. I've tryed to restore the contacs using sync but nothing happen.

Any advice? Can I extract contacts and SMS from the backup file?

Thanks!

I really loved this on my S2 when I was on Gingerbread, but since upgrading to ICS, it's not worked at all.

It doesn't take pictures on the wrong lock-screen pattern passwords anymore. I've tried reinstalling, and reactivating, but no joy. I'm on 4.0.3, does anyone have any ideas why this is?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] speed_bot:
did u try contacting the support sir?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Joey2o11:
I'm running 4.0.3 and just tested the take picture with wrong lock pattern and it worked fine, a picture was taken and emailed to me. I'm running Cerberus v2.2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] busterdev:
i tried cerberus but sooner or later it starts showing up in your running app list

and starts slurping battery.

i personally recommend phonelocator pro. never had a problem with that. ui is simple and also packed with functions
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] speed_bot:
so i far i havent had any problems though..........this ones still the best for me... does your app have all the features
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] julle131:
I bought this and installed to all my family members androids. Im the only one with root, so im the only that has it on /system/app. Awesome functions compared to price.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Lord Tim:
This is the first anti-theft that's actually done everything it says it would do for me. Works great on ICS AOKP here and I gladly bought it and recommended it to several other people who did so as well. Great app. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dorongr:
+1

this is the best anti theft app I've used.

My current rom is CM9 (2012-04-11 nightly) and it works perfect. It also worked on Sammy's ICS roms.

I've used phone locator also, which just didn't do what it says it does...

Worth every penny!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Galactus:

Any app which shall survive hard reset. Coz a person usually hard reset before putting a new sim.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] speed_bot:
if your phone is rooted then this app will have su rights so you cant delete or uninstall a app which is devices admin in android.....the app will remain as a system which can only be deleted if anyone formats the system and installs a new rom
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] a_t_u_l:
Then will need to root my phone first, could you provide the link for the same.

This is cool until the thief turns airplane mode on. He/She has to be really stupid not to do that

Sent from my awesome SGS+
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] a_t_u_l:
But it can be uninstalled. Is there some password protection for it?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jeffnz:
What's the point of having a phone you can't ever use because you have airplane mode on
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] a_t_u_l:
You just flash a new rom in airplane mode and the phone can be used normally.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
if you flash it through cwm, it cannot be uninstalled. also, since the app can be fully hidden, most people would not even suspect the app to be installed. and how many people do you think are capable of flashing another rom and fully wiping the phone?

most regular phone users don't even update their phone through kies and people who get their hand on the phone and have no idea about android at all certainly would never get the idea.

they would be too stupid to get over pattern lock in the first place, and by then, you will have their picture, their location and have sound recorded of them, which should be enough for the police to get your phone back.

for the meantime lock the device down completely and/or wipe it and even if the device is not connected to the internet, just with gsm signal you can still fully control it through sms. if you are still not able to get it back, get the imei blocked and the phone will be useless to any thief.

in any way, i love cerberus and never felt safer with my sgs2.

AVIRA!!!!

Hi all,

AVIRA for Android is available on Market and this version is not an antivirus but it has phone locator, screaming feature, remote wipe etc etc

....and it doesn't drain the battery!!!!

bye bye
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] a_t_u_l:
Every second person feedback says it drains battery like anything....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jeffnz:
Mine isn't draining battery works well very pleased with it and see no better product as yet

Try it
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] okmijnlp:
This app is useless IMO. Like most anti theft apps, when trying to locate the phone, of google's location service isn't enabled it'll ask you to enable it, so,

Lost: can't enable it.

Stolen: Won't enable it.

So you're screwed. The only anti theft I've found that doesn't ask you to enable it is AVAST! Anti Theft.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Galactus:
The app doesn't drain battery. I remember someone said that in another thread and realised he tried to track his phone with the app and didn't turn tracking off in the web console. As for the google thing, just enable it and have peace of mind. Lastly, it's highly unlikely the yob who's trying to steal your phone has any idea about Clockwork Mod. They'll more than likely take out the sim card for a few hours lol
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] a_t_u_l:
Usually ppl hard reset before using such high end phone. Thus any anti theft software should be rooted, invisible atleast to have any chances of recovery. How many anti theft software has anyone come across which can do this???
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jeffnz:
Ummm this one
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Galactus:
Install it as a system app. Only a rom wipe will remove it. So again I say "it's highly unlikely the yob who's trying to steal your phone has any idea about Clockwork Mod. They'll more than likely take out the sim card for a few hours lol"
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] speed_bot:
it doesnt ask to enable location services on phone if its not active the phone will be tracked a bit slowly...we can turn on gps wifi mobile data via sms...which other app can do it...and note this in avast if the user switches off data you r done for good but we can enable it...and if we install this as a system app ie flash it via cwm it wont be deleted unless the rom is changed...this should sum it up...i have monitred it via droid wall of cm it doesnt use data even if it is on on our device it only uses data after sending the track device message....any questions..not everyone knows that a phone can be booted in 4 ways ..the ythink it can be booted only by pressing power button if they do a data wip after booting the app wont be deleted as it is a system app.............any more questions?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] a_t_u_l:
So, how does one install using Cwm. My phone is rooted, and has superuser installed. Further guidance or link to a thread would help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Galactus:
The FAQ page on Cerberus web page has all the details. A flashable CWM file. Or just download the .apk from their site and place it in system/app with root explorer or es file manager
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gabi11:
I also tried to install it as a system app, but I tried it through titanium backup and not through cwm or any file explorer.

Well, it didn't go very well.

Titanium started thinking like he's processing the request, but it stayed like this too long.

Finally I just closed the app.

I'll probably go to their faq and try some other method, but I wonder if someone managed to install it like this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
there are four different versions on the site for flashing through cwm.

one cerberus, one cerberus for ics, one "system framework" and one "system framework" for ics, so choose your version wisely. i find that the app as system framework is even better hidden. of course you can hide the app from the app drawer, but from time to time, there might be an info bubble that cerberus has been granted superuser permissions, so system framework looks more discrete. also, even when hidden, the app will show up in titanium and "manage applications" and system framework raises less suspicions.

EDIT: here is the download link for all the different versions, in the faq, there are no ics versions mentioned. https://www.cerberusapp.com/download.php
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gabi11:
Thanks!!

I will try it and see how it goes.. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Galactus:
Let me add that Cerberus also recommend disabling superuser notifications, as it will pop up should the app need to take a picture using the front facing camera
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] speed_bot:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
I have tried both cerberus and Phonelocator pro and they both do similar things.

But I think cerberus is better cause its cheaper and gives licence for 5 devices.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DD-Ripper:
What would you do if the guy who stole, Factory resets it....???

And keeps the phone swithced off...?? ;) :p

No chance of recovering it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
If the phone if rooted and the app is installed as system app, then factory reset doesn't delete the app.

About phone turned off, ok there is no solution.

But sooner or later, he will have to turn it on.

And then, there is a chance to locate or check rest of commands.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DD-Ripper:
I didnt mean that....if he is a clever guy who has much experience in android flashes another firmware....then...? ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] speed_bot:
well the odds are against them if he flashes a custom firmware its real bad luck cant help
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DD-Ripper:
Thats what I mean...if he knows about android as much as we know.

If this app is installed as a system app, there must be root and if there is root, we all know any system app can be deleted with Root explorer.

However such guyz are rarely found. Mostly every thief will be a noob at this..! :D ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nexu$:
I have been using Avast since it became available: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5hdmFzdC5hbmRyb2lkLm1vYmlsZXNlY3VyaXR5Il0.

It has (almost) identical anti-theft features for free but with my latest, I only care for remote wipe of personal data. The phone is covered by insurance, so I don't have to play detective. I think this app will have better positioning as a jealous spy tool - install on your gf phone to know where she is, doing what at all times, listen in on girls talk, yeah, that kind of high-school stuff ;)

Great job combining all features and putting it out there!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] poppienutshell:
lol does this mean pple who has experience in rooting and flashing make better thieves :confused:

I for one would say tough luck to the person who lost his/her phone if I happen to pick it up. :cool:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DD-Ripper:
Yes ofcourse...! :D :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gabi11:
Just a thought, if it's installed as a system app it will "survive" a factory reset, but then I'll probably won't be logged in to the app...

Am I wrong...?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] speed_bot:
the app can have all features without root...if you dont have root flash it via recovery and you wont have root explorer.............

im not saying this app will give your lost phone back 100%

among the apps that claim to do so this is the best
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
Why not log to the app?

It won't have the option to sign in?

Unleashed from my Revolutionized Desire HD
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gabi11:
Yes, but I'm talking about a situation where you're device is stolen and the thief wipes or format the device...

Isn't it the purpose of installing it as a system app?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DD-Ripper:
Point to be noted. Factory reset makes the account to be logged out.:D

So the best thing to do is not to get it stolen at the first place..!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gabi11:
My point exactly :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
Logged out and then so what?

You still have full control over Internet or through SMS, right?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] speed_bot:
if the we log out the app cant recognize to which acct this device belongs to
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
yes it can, since the web service knows the imei and sms services work through your phone number, you don't need to log in from your phone for the service to know, which device you want to control.

also, the app survived rom flashes in my case, as long as you don't format /system prior to flashing but only perform a regular factory reset.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] poppienutshell:
All in all, it's still a great app by itself. It works as it should and by no means a 100% failsafe. How I wish there's something like it for lost/stolen wallets/purses.

If recent trends say anything, human-phone relationship has never been closer. People check their phones like every few seconds? Some hold in their hand all the time. So the moment your phone is lost/stolen, my bet is you will know it within minutes, well unless you are damn occupied with something else which is a different story to be told. In that case, that is when this app will really come in handy.

OR

if you are feeling rich and magnanimous, buy a new phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
Probably you didn't check all possibilities of Cerberus.

Cause then you would know that there is no free program doing similar things.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] a_t_u_l:
Read this somewhere on forum here in xda-

" Thanks guys, so on a rooted device I can just install avast from the google store and it will install as a system app?

It won't install as a system app, but it makes an file that Avast won't be removed when you factory reset the phone, the app will stay installed because of that back-up.

It also blocks usb-debugging, so you can't flash another rom, It will remain protecting your phone whatever they try do delete or modify. They can't even get into settings:)

Cerberus doesn't provide that, and needs to be flashed to survive a factory reset, with Avast you aren't even allowed to do actions...

Avast is free, and if rooted it gives you the best protection possible!"
