You have a touch pro 2 and using winmo messaging? Why aren't you using the Manila messaging app? Just curious.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] youngWMuser:
Whats the name of the app?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
its called SMS-chat, its really good, and it comes with a free trial for like 2 weeks. It kinda works like iPhone messaging app

[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I don't know if it's compatible with the ROM you're using or not, but the program that's needed to be able to use those clocks is Co0kie's Home Tab. The latest version is 1.8 and that's what the clocks you pointed do were designed for.

The answer to whether or not it's compatible with your ROM will be found in either the CHT thread below, or the thread for your ROM.

Hey,

I tried searching but i cant seem to find this anywhere.

I tried to flash a new rom, decided i didnt like it, went to do a Nandroid backup, and when i did the market is just missing. the icon for it, the actual program, i cant find it anywhere. In fact every nandroid backup i have doesnt even have the market anymore.

I cant seem to find a solution to this on XDA or on google. Anyone have any idea what happened?
[Hero CDMA General] mgraham361:
Anyone? I just installed darchdroid 2.6.5 on my son's hero and the market doesn't show up in the apps drawer. I can see /system/app/Vending.apk but I can't see or run the app from the OS.

I did 'adb push Vending.apk /system/app' then rebooted but still no joy. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
try navigating to the .apk on your phone with a file explorer, click on it and choose Install. It should reinstall the .apk.

Also try the "fix uid mismatches" in recovery>other
[Hero CDMA General] mgraham361:
Thanks nebenezer.

The install didn't work from file manager but your comments made me remember what the problem is. I had it on my Hero before but forgot.

I had flashed a blue theme so the /system/app/Vending.apk and /data/app/com.android.vending.apk files were different and wouldn't work for whatever reason. I flashed darchdroid last night without wiping so I guess these are incompatible. So far haven't seen any other problems.

Anyway I just pulled those two files off my hero and pushed them to my son's and everything is good.

this is the only anti theft that i managed to install. the other are all too compilcated.

will notify on sim change. sms command are case sensitive. locate command will always tell location unavailable even when google map locked on gps.

F-Secure sms to finland?

I've had F-secure anti-theft in my phone for a while now. The txt location service works great, and last month I tried changing the sim, and guess what, got a sms on my backup phone with the new sim's phone number, which is exactly what it is supposed to do.

However, i checked my itemized bill today, and see the program sent an sms to Finland immediately after texting me. The number was 358400112368 . Googled this number and only got two vague references to f-secure on a nokia. Why in the world would they need to txt their mothership about my sim? Anyone else using f-secure anti-theft? Please check your bill and let us know if it sent a txt to finland.

As far as using other similar programs:

Mylookout : never worked for me, website says searching, and times out.

remotetracker : Stay away from this program!! its txt request uses no password, so anyone who knows you have the program installed can secretly monitor you via sms. An intentional oversight from the developer perhaps? And pretty malicious at that too! Edit: got it, see post below.

ms myphone : free version can only check the daily sync log. I cannot initiate a location search unless i pay, or am I doing it wrong?

so, anyone with f-secure got the txt to 358400112368? I guess this post will be the only 3rd google search result for this number?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
wrong.

yes it does, if you dont set a password then yes, anyone can control it, , but set a password and it doesnt respond to control txts without it.
[HD2 General] atlaswing:
my bad. thanks Samsamuel for the correction. i re-read the first whole page of that remoteTracker thread and the word "password" was never mentioned in his post or instructions.

as far as my original question regarding F-secure, anybody else see the outgoing text to finland when they change SIMs?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no worries.

i for one can't rate remotetracker highly enough. i cook my own rom, so its cooked in complete with settings, so its completely hard reset safe. only way to stop it working is by flashing.

that random text you mention sounds a little iffy, you tried emailing them? see what they have to say?
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
another vote for remotetracker.

It found my phone when left in a taxi :D
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
the F-Secure thing looks nice, i think im gonna try it this evening

lets see if it really sends a sms to finnland xD
[HD2 General] me:
I came across this thread, and just downloaded (didn't install yet) the f-secure app.

A couple things I don't understand.

I believe I have read posts here about needing a "backup mobile number", for the company to send SMS to, if something suspicious is happening with the phone.

But what if one only has one mobile number, no backup? Is the app then useless? (Couldn't there be an e-mail, or a call to the landline?)

Also, I see that besides giving this app away, F-Secure sells "mobile secuirty". (I guess that means anti-virus and such. Is that really necessary? I have never used an AV on my phone before, and never had a problem with that AFAIK.)

With the post about the SMS to Finland (probably company headquarters), it occurs to me, they may give away this anti-theft app, in order to get your phone #, and send you text messages advertising their AV app? I wouldn't want to get spammed with text messages. Has that happened to anyone using this?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
remotetracker can send email
[HD2 General] badai:
i've changed sim few time. fsecure only send sms to the assigned number (i know, i've itemized billing, and i can send sms internationally).

anyway, since it can never reply with correct location, and i've already figured out how to use remotetracker, i'm ditching it too. plus, fsecure will always pop up with it stupid checking for update while i'm using my phone. can't it check quietly?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
when was the last time you used mylookout? A few months ago, it couldn't find the phone for me, but in the last month, it is working.

Maybe I should try that one. Esp. for my son.

what about getting a google voice number? Then you could send it there.

so fsecure you can't get a correct location?
[HD2 General] badai:
see my previous post. it always say location not available.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
I just tried lookout. I like it more than remotetracker because it's easier to use (the online "dashboard" makes it easy). The thing I hated the most about remotetracker (and other apps dealing with coded SMS) is that I would have to use an authorized phone and the proper codes to do whatever I need to do. At least with lookout, I can just go online and kill all my data and locate my phone.

I tested the "locate" feature. It found my phone in 2 minutes, but it was a little over one mile away from my phone!:eek:

The "scream" feature: It's a loud firetruck-type siren...it was a little bad because San Bruno, CA (one city away from me) had a horrible fireball accident a couple of days ago.

I guess it does its job. The locate feature is decent, but to think that it was off by 1-mile, it could make a difference in a big city.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
not so, it will only send the 'sim changed' alert to a pre specified mobile(well, up to 4 pre defined mobiles), but you can control it from any phone. You can even have it send responses to a different phone than the one you are sending the commands from. (though why you would escapes me, hehe)

The thing that lets remotetracker down most of all is a not very clear instruction manual. Its easy to overlook features, and missinterpret how to do various things.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
Hey guys, is there any way to also lock the phone to a specific sim card. I ask this because the first thing a thief does is remove the sim card so it makes programs like this 100% useless afaik or I could be missing something.

[edit] Ignore this ive just read more info about it, This sounds like a awsome app, 100% installing this :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
remotetracker (and the others, i would guess) sends you the new number when it detects a new sim, so you just send the commands to the new number. One of the commands will lock up the phone completely if you so wish, making it unuseable.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
I did not know that. I guess I'll give it another try. Thanks!:)

That feature is what makes remotetracker very effective. I think being able to detect a new SIM is something unique to RT.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
heh, the command structure is slightly confusing,, if it doesn't respond then chances are you have a # missing. at the end of the command, assuming you don't want to divert the response to a different phone, it ends ##password, with a double hash, took me ages to figure that out. (if you want to send to diff number the number goes between those hashes, but the manual doesn't make clear that the hash is needed even if the number isn't going to be used)

the one real bug is that popup onscreen messages don't work with spaces, so "you stole my phone" shows up as just "you ", but i've known paid software with far bigger bugs, so its hardly a deal breaker!

Can I have the Stocks.apk from HTC Sense
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
I will add more to this as we get further, thanks go to the Unrevoked devteam!

While this method is now public, we are working on other methods still, but this will be useful to folks in the meantime. While we still do not understand the first adbd race entirely, we do know that there are some key differences in system timing seemingly from sdcard (mmc1), wifi (uses mmc0), and emmc (uses mmc2). If frustrated you may try doing things to change your setup.

Instructions here:

http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:adb_in_recovery

Advanced instructions:

<6>[ 5.326202] mmc1: Slot status change detected (0 -> 1)
...Bluetooth and wifi begin to load...
<6>[ 5.481384] mmc1: new high speed SD card at address ff0e
<6>[ 5.490112] warning: `adbd' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)
<6>[ 5.491027] mmcblk1: mmc1:ff0e SD02G 1.83 GiB

That is what a good dmesg will look like. please do a dmesg in android (not recovery) and see where you find those similar strings in yours. notice the numbers, 5.49 seconds is when adbd started roughly, a sd read was toggled at about the same time as you see, this means you win! Please look at yours and calculate how long a delay your sd card needs... then reseat it and try to hit that window...

NOTE: SD card choice seems to be a important factor in whether you get adb in recovery, in general the slower and crummier the card, the better.

The key is getting adb working in recovery. There is as of yet no easy way. reboot recovery, or reboot bootloader and go into recovery. try try try again...

To explain the method a little, there are 2 races here. It would be wise not to update any further if you get this, as they will most certain plug both our holes here. But in general the first race is in recoveries starting. It starts adbd, but also stops it. If for whatever reason the start takes longer than the stop, we win. The second race should be obvious looking at the instructions, but in short it verifies the real OTA update, while we swap it with a special one...

ok...sorry to be a pain...but in the process described below, can you insert when to unplug the cable?

- open two command prompts

- in the first one execute adb reboot recovery to reboot the phone in recovery mode

- in the second one run the batch process that loops the adb shell command

- the phone reboots and gets to the screen with a red triangle and a !

- press the +volume & power and select reboot

- the white HTC screen pops up

- at some magic point here you execute the adb reboot recovery again in the first command prompt

- the phone reboots

- then i get to the screen with a red triangle and a !

any thing i am missing?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] WoZeR:
I've tried it on a Vista x32 and a Windows 7 x64 machine. It doesn't seem to work on a windows box. I'm guessing the reason is the ADB usb driver doesn't load fast enough. When the reboot recovery command is sent the ADB usb driver disappears from the device manager and doesn't load fast enough when it reboots in recovery mode.

Thats my guess... but so far after over 40 attempts using different methods including running 10 looping cmd prompts it has failed every time.

- Turn off phone

- Hold Optical track/Button, Press Power

- When in menu, hit Power (to boot FASTBOOT)

- Wait 20 seconds (until it tries to load everything it needs)

- Plug USB cable in, wait another 10 seconds for OS to catch up and detect

- Press Volume DOWN, once

- Start your 'adb shell' loop (via batch file posted in the thread)

- Press Power

Works everytime for me.

If you guys don't have SD cards inserted when doing this, don't bother trying to make this work. The guys on the irc are basically saying that the race condition is caused by an attempt to access an SD card when starting adb, or something like that.
