All anti theft softwares fail when it comes to turning off the device, its is no longer trackable. Or someone may flash new rom?
Is there anything which can prevent flashing new rom or turning off the device using password or any security?
Or can anyone develope any such thing???

There are many that claim to do the same as you mentioned. except for flashing a new rom.
I don't think there's any app that could prevent from flashing or could sustain even after it
I haven't tested any
This one's a good, my friend uses it, i like the features

Yahh. It will be great if we can enter the password for excessing recovery. Like we can enter bios password on windows.

Myxperia app is available to download on stock rom. Check the fb page of xperia s.
But the other anti thefts are far better than this. I used it, n my xs startd lagging after few days with a lot of battery drain. So I uninstalled it

it also fails if the thief factory resets your phone...which is what usually they do...no use of myXperia...why cant google design some good software that is immune to factory resets? at least sony...plz link myXperia to IMEI instead of google account...

is anyone else using the xda app here I can't get it to do much of anything once I log in.
Since updating to 2.0.71 from 1.0.84 the xda app has been pretty much useless.
It force closes often while trying to view threads and ALWAYS force closes on exit if I'm logged in so it loses the login data. Start up time is also excessive.
Had no problems on the 2.1 firmware whatsoever.
Market problem? Firmware problem? App problem?
Confirmed... alas, it didn't work from the start, even with 2.1.
Same problems here.

It never worked for me, either. I remember with my Eris that when we got Froyo we had to use an older version of XDA for a while. My first Archos died before i could investigate, and i just got my replacement yesterday. I will try to find an older version.
If anyone has an older one they could post...Im too scared to search the XDA forums with any of these keywords "xda, apk, developer, application"...
Xda app is never work once I logged in, failed.
I use tapatalk, working perfectly on my A70IT. Xda app is based on tapatalk, it looks identical.

I have two Android tablets, an Archos 101 and a Zenithink ZT-180. Neither one works with the newer XDA application - FC after a few clicks. This older version does run, though devoid of most features that makes it useful. Is anyone embarassed?
Bye.
It's a shame,the new version is so much better,the old version works but lacks off all the practical features ,is this apply even in further development or is it frozen.

Just keep getting a notification about a software update from T-Mobile is this safe to do when having a custom rom? The FreeGS3 R6
Is anyone having this notification as well??

Don't do it. Realistically, the dev should've disabled the room update feature if he used the TMo ROM for his base. You may want to pm him and let him know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium HD app
Its not gonna do anything. If you accept it'll download and attempt to install but will fail.
You can go into app management and disable the software update apps there.
FreeGS3 is a wip. Dev is also working on incorporating a software update for his rom, so it may have been left purposely. Either way, no harm has or will come beccause its there. Its already been covered many times in that roms thread as well as multiple others.

Use Titanium backup to force stop the updates from happening or uninstall them all together I did that and now the updates are gone.
Since the thread is covered and done. I'm curious as to the whole update search app not hurting anything. On the g2x WhitehawkX always removed the possibility for it cause it was !
1. Annoying
2. Something that was always checking and causing battery drainage. It this not true?

Do you mean the Software Update and FW Upgrade apps? On a custom rom I dont think itd matter either way. Most likely you wouldnt be able to use it since you are rooted, deodexed and prob on a custom recovery. Like what happened for many on FreeGS3. Able to download the update but installation failed. But we knew it was available.
I dont think it uses much in the way of resources. He could be right about battery though, and im sure he knows more thsn I do on that subject.
In short it doesnt hurt anything to be there, but if it cant be used, isnt it just wasted space?

Android 4.2.2 v6

Not working: Google Wallet (force close)
Again, not my work, just helping the community!

Same setup - should work on T-MO.
Just an update about the new 4.3 GPe: External SD Card is readable when you plug it into your PC. The camera however still does not read the SD card. All else is still functioning.Version 4.3 will break root! All versions of SU currently do not work with 4.3. Just keep that in mind.
You can flash this over your current 4.2.2 Google Edition. If you're coming from TW, do a complete wipe, then flash. Thanks
____________________________________________________________________
No - I did not grab the system dump myself
Yes - I have tested this for the TMO variant and it's fully functioning
I did create a Youtube Video on how to install the Google Edition S4. Check it out!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmYpkJ27WAM
Althought it's not a ROM built from scratch or a project of any kind, it is a rom all in itself straight from the S4 GE
(Updated Link) - Thanks to luckyduck69 for posting a new mirror. Previous Link crashed XD.
If you're interested in the GE (VERSION 4.2.2), download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5nz662i2y826kwd/google-edition-bg.zip
As always, make a backup, wipe, then flash.

Installed using TWRP 2.5.0.2.
Was notified Root was not installed, told TWRP to install it for me.
So far, seems fine! I miss the "long press back to kill app" feature, but I can live without it as I play with this ROM.
Thanks for the link! After flashing this ROM will all software/firmware on the phone be identical to that on the GPe handset? Or are there any other bits that aren't contained in the ROM?
I'm wondering that too. This is stable? Wipe system/data/cache and flash?
I did a wipe flashed and then had to reboot to get WiFi
going,other than that so far so good .feels smooth,but it could be a placebo effect not sure

Not a problem. After flashing this direct port, I've noticed that my Model number changed to GT-I9505G, but my baseband remains the same (MDL), As it appears, everything is fully functioning from that of the GPe. To be clear, no errors, force closes, or mis-haps have occured.

I'm not sure wi-fi calling is known to work even on the real GPe, is it? I thought it might be specific to TMo/TW ROM somehow. I guess only GPe reviewers know at this point.
I was referring more to general wi-fi capability, I saw some guys saying that didn't work with the GPe system dump on TMo handset.

When your phone is rooted, it knows, and so do the apps. That's why you cannot install isis wallet if your phone is rooted. In the about section in settings, it says if the device is rooted. If it says modified then it is rooted and any app can probably see that. Doesn't mean that tmobile knows it is, but the app does, and it may, or may not report this back to them.

Actually, you granted them access by accepting the permissions. Thats why i read that stuff. And being a developer, i can usually figure out what actions fall under the required permissions too.

They went commercial, now are a official corporation. They are looking to make that money, eventually. With features like a CM account, privacy guard, secure messaging they were getting ready for it. None of those are attractive though.

it seems more likely the purchase fees will be for the added features. Allcast is the perfect example. It's a CM app on the app store that has a time limit unless you pay money. That's their future. I can easily imagine a CM rom that is basically AOSP, and a collection of appstore apps that you have to pay money for to get the "Full CM experience". Of course, if you buy a CM phone (like the oppo n1), you'd get all those for free.
Or they just collect your data and sell it on their own kinda like Google
