Making it hidden from the ApplicationManager is not possible. But in the Flashable Version you can decide the Name int he Applist AND probably you want to use something like "Framework" "System" and without a Logo. Its absolut hidden from the Drawer (No Icon) and Undeletable as Deviceadmin. Another Broadcastreceiver is looking if the App is still installed/Deviceadmin is enabled and will reenable it if neccesesary. You cannot delete it if (not even a single file) if your flashing it.

Ill offer the flashable Version in a few hours. Just check the first Post later :)

Wonderful app!!!

How do we delete the "Cam Galery" (sic) uploaded images from web? I tried deleting them using the mouse over delete icon, but the images reappear?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Oh sorry. Forget to say that i've updatet the Backend. The new Update will be pushed out in a few minutes.

There was also a PRoblem with Android 4.2.1 (and /storage/emulated/...) instead of sdcard folder.

should be fixed now.

* added httpwebserver aswell.

The new app should be automatically updatet in the market within the next 2 hours (just published it).

Camshots are not able to be deleted until yet. Ill make the feature tomorrow.

Ramusage should be less now too :)

Whatsapp fixed, sms is deletable in webinterface too. Some commands can be sent over the Webserver within the Device (Requires that the Device is in (same) Wifi or the Provider has no NAT/Blocking ports)
[Android Apps and Games] mutantblack:
It's working somehow. I don't see the app icon or anything like that after it crashed and disappear but once I logged into online, I can track it, take pics, get sms etc.. all working as it should. Amazing. Even voice recording, gallery pics. Now that's crazy awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
and here you are.. flashable zip for cwm. Its hidden in application manager and even if it gets killed it is still running ;)

(Tested with I9300)

You need to Login again after the ZIP is flashed (call 127001)

Probably OP should think about it for making this app 100% effective.
[Android Apps and Games] lukacs.attila:
The one time thief won't fiddle with Factory Reset. He/She just wants to sell the phone ASAP. Also, you can easily incorporate the app into the ROM itself, so a HR/FR won't erase it.

Ok, we now need to integrate this into ROMs.

So, if a person does a factory data reset, the app still runs.

Most market users are idiots. Look at all of the complaints about Widgets or Live Wallpaper that "won't open"

I just noticed this today, looks very interesting.. Does the flashable version flash into /system or does it still flash into userspace, which factory reset would wipe?

What would be nice is if it was flashed into /system, so even if someone did a factory reset it would persist. The data would have to be somewhere that persisted as well of course.

I'm going to look more into it, sounds like you've really got a lot of great ideas here. I'm a Prey user, and I use Tasker as a passive tracking tool as well but this sounds really nice.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
the apk will be stored in /system. The app survives a full wipe aswell. There's a lil trick which dont need a userconfig to work :) Which means: you can still access the device even if he erased everything except the apk

I think the movie on google play (youtube one) should be at least in 720p quality, if not full HD, since i just tried to watch it and i can only read texts at the bottom, everything else isnt visible or readable and you cant watch 320p on fullscreen.

I want to report 3 issues:

2) My Galaxy S2 UI got really slow after installing the app.

3) I requested GPS info and got no response on the web site. So I turned the GPS on manually, checked my position on Google Maps and even so no response.

Great app. Congratulations!
[Android Apps and Games] IndianSuzuki:
Idea - Can this app be remotely registered? This is useful in case if your phone is already stolen.

Now i understand that it can be misused. So to circumvent that, the login could be tied to your google account. AndroidLost does it nicely.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
try to choose the device again in the top. currently ive heavy loads on the database. ill get additional 8GB of ram tonight.

probably your device is not logged in (in the app) try 127001, login into your device again

and yes, the app can be registered by remote (with SMS). ill submit some tutorial about that tomorrow

Is video recording from front camera possible?

How well does it work with applications that auto kills processes to conserve battery?

How safe is the data on the website?

Running through chrome with an XT890
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
just request a new GPS Push and wait a few seconds before reload. It may take some time on the first time (if you do not have any current spots). If your not outside it may take a while too (it uses the network to locate elsehow).

[Android Apps and Games] br13an:
Love the potential of this app already, been testing some features today, maybe some of the bugs are already noted.

- GPS show 2 locations (A (I think is the ISP or something), and B is the phone's position (in my case VERY accurate).

- Normal pictures, this is one of the problematic ones I came across, the pictures taken are all just black.

- Grabbing settings from the phone doesnt seem to work all the times I tested.

Also the remote reboot/shutdown/lock feature is awesome!

Keep it up!

The location accuracy isn't great. I'm assuming that the location is obtain via GPS coordinates alone.

If that's the case, try this >> http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html.

power control function

I really like this, it has a lot of features when you compare them to the paid app. However there are several things that don't work or need to be adjusted. I'm using AT&T HTC One X with ViperXL 3.2.5 rom.

1) GPS shows two location, one being very accurate and the other not so sure.

2) When you send message and alert, sometime it would echo for a second time. Perhaps this is glitch or network issue?

3) The power control feature: Power off, Reboot and Lock do not work even with admin and root access.

4) Sync setting should be more clear, I didn't realize it until the app kept uploading my images and SMS after I deleted them, then rebooted my phone. Honestly I don't really need to use another image sync app as I have Dropbox and Google Drive already to do the job. I think it could save some resources and speed things up without the feature IMHO.

5) I understand people have ask about the security aspect already. The one thing that concerns me is the lack of a secure web page, the broken English translation is not appealing and doesn't look professional. I hope you don't get offended by this, I understand English is not universal and that you're more busy trying work out all the bugs and features which is more important to me too.

Overall the majority of the features work as intended, I think this is a great app. In the future if you ever intend to add applications to control the phone via the user computer as a paid version I would be interested in buying. :cool:

Security

Thanks for such nice app.

I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned it here.. I don't mean to offend you or belittle your effort. But, I am a bit apprehensive about how secure my phone's data will be in your servers. Is it possible to have an option that would allow me to sync my data collected by this app to something like Dropbox? If this is not addressed, I will be simply exposing my data to an unnecessary vulnerability. The probabily of my phone being stolen and data exposed may be even lesser.

Is this app different from androidlost ?

you will get an option to download the files as zip and erase it on the server after that. It will be included within the next days.
