Send SMS Commands to the Phone Get the current location of your phone: If the phone has GPS built in and GPS data is available it will send you its GPS coordinates. The updates also can be configured to be sent continuously. Lock the phone: The device will not be usable by the thief anymore as the screen will be blocked by Theft Aware. This option can also be set to be enabled automatically upon SIM card change. Activate a loud siren sound: The phone will start to emit a loud siren sound that can only be turned off again by an authorized user. You are even able to customize the siren sound by specifying own sound files or by recording a customized siren sound. Wipe the phone and erase all private data stored on it: Remove Contacts, Call-Log, Sms/MMS, Media files, Calendar Entries and Browsing History from your phone. Delete files on the memory card to protect your privacy. SMS Forwarding (new since build 1710): Theft Aware is able to forward SMS silently to another phone if you wish to do so. Call Forwarding (new since Build 1710): Theft Aware is now able to inform you about incoming calls by text message. Note: We did not implement direct forwarding of the calls as this works differently in the networks around the world. Also it is not possible to hide the forwarding settings from the thieves eyes reliably. Back up all your contacts: Before you wipe the phone you can back up your contacts, they will be transmitted via SMS to the other device. Back up SMS that are important to you: Just tell Theft Aware which SMS you want to rescue, they will be forwarded to the other device. Let the phone call you or other phone numbers: Your phone is able to phone independently upon SMS command. The calls will be hidden as good as possible. This enables you to listen to what happens at the other side of the line without anybody recognizing it. Query Call or SMS protocol data: By sending a simple SMS command you can query call or SMS protocols on the target phone. Change Theft Aware settings: most of the settings of Theft Aware can be changed by SMS. Remote command plugin interface: Implement your own SMS commands.

Stealth Mode After theft, thiefs usually check the mobile phone for applications that could unveil their identity. Thiefs will look for application icons and will check the application manager. If the thief is able to find suspicious traces it is very likely that the phone will be turned off and will be subject to disposal. This usually results in the phone being lost forever. All of the anti theft solution providers tried to solve this problem. But with their solutions it is either not possible to change the tools configuration (e.g. uninstall is not possible) or the tool provides visible traces to a thief causing all the consequences lined out above. We managed to create the perfect solution. Theft Aware is also the only solution in the marketplace that will be completely invisible on the phone, in order to give you the best chances to either catch the thief or get your device back.

INSTALLATION PROCESS
When you downloaded your installer package you can launch the Theft Aware setup program. This is the Theft Aware setup program icon:
Start the setup program. Now Setup will check for some system prerequisites to use our advanced Stealth Mode technology. Follow the instructions. The next screen will allow you to set an application name for your Theft Aware installation:
In Android it is not possible to completely hide an installation entry of an application within the application manager. While other vendors simply ignore this fact and keep their applications visible there, we will package a customized Theft Aware installer package for you which is labeled with the application name that you give here. As a result it is very hard for thieves to find out if Theft Aware is installed on the phone or not as the name of the application is completely unsuspecting. Setup will then help you download and install your customized package. Simply follow the instructions. Once Theft Aware is installed successfully you may safely remove the setup program from your phone and proceed with launching Theft Aware.

System Enabled By using this option you can enable or disable the Theft Aware protection system. Note that no SMS commands nor any theft protection will work if the system is disabled. Once the Theft Aware protection is enabled, Theft Aware will be put to Stealth Mode automatically. In Stealth Mode the Theft Aware icon in the application launcher will be hidden. If you disable the system Theft Aware will be switched to Visible Mode again. Then the Theft Aware icon will be restored in the application launcher.

BASIC SETTINGS
To setup Theft Aware for active use you HAVE TO specify the Theft Aware basic settings: Owner Please enter your name here. Access Code Enter your access code here. This access code is used to authorize access to the Theft Aware configuration interface. Please do NOT forget your access code. You will not be able to reconfigure Theft Aware without the access code. The standard access code is 0000. You have to change the access code before you are allowed to activate the Theft Aware system. Notification 1 Please choose one of your contacts with an international phone number here. Any Theft Aware SMS will be sent to that contact. Check for Updates Using this setting you can enable an automatic check for software updates which will be done weekly. If an software update is found, you will get a notification on your phone. The check will only be performed, if a trusted SIM card is present in the phone.
ADVANCED SETTINGS
The advanced settings are already optimally preconfigured and MAY be changed on demand: Notification 2 You may choose a second contact here. Copies of all Theft Aware SMS will be sent to that phone contact for safety. Lock Phone Settings Theft Aware offers the possibility to lock access to the phone or program manager settings. Whenever a thief accesses the settings those will be shut down again immediately. So it is impossible for a user to uninstall Theft Aware by using the application manager. This setting increases battery usage of Theft Aware but also increases the phone protection significantly. If you enabled this option but you want to change settings by yourself, disable Theft Aware, change the settings and then enable Theft Aware again.

Allow SMS Commands Theft Aware enables you to remotely control the phone by using SMS commands. You can disable the feature here. If you set the value to From Notification Numbers, SMS commands will only be accepted if they are sent from one of the notification numbers given above. The option From All Numbers lifts that restriction. Phone Lock Behaviour If this option is set to SIM Change, SMS Command the phone will be locked automatically upon SIM card change or by SMS command. If the option is set to Only upon SMS Command, the phone can only be locked by SMS command. The phone can also be unlocked by entering a valid access code in the lock screen. Custom Lock Text You may enter a custom text here, that will be shown on the screen if the phone is locked. If you give no text here, a standard text will be shown. Siren When Locked If this option is enabled, every time the phone is locked a loud siren alarm sound will be played. The siren sound will only stop if the phone is unlocked again. There is also a SMS command to start/stop the siren. Siren Sound Theft Aware enables you to customize your siren sound. The option Select Sound File lets you select a sound file from your phone. Also you can record a new sound sample by using the option Record Siren Sound. Use the Play Siren Sound option to listen to the currently active siren. Use the Reset To Default option to reset the siren sound to the original one delivered with Theft Aware. On some devices (e.g. the Samsung Galaxy S) the default sound recording utility (Sound Recorder) is not present. Because of this you can not record own siren sounds on those devices. Auto-Enable GPS If enabled, Theft Aware will try to enable GPS on non-rooted phones if GPS is disabled in the system settings. This only works from Android 1.6 on and might cause unwanted popup dialogs to occur depending on the device model. If Theft Aware is installed as system application, GPS will be automatically enabled regardless of this setting. After enabling the setting it is recommended to disable GPS in the system settings and to test if popups occur (eg. by pressing the menu key and selecting Advanced -> Simulate Theft Event>). If popups occur it is recommended to keep the setting disabled.

SMS Map Type The Theft Aware notification SMS contains a link to view the location of your phone by using online map services. This option lets you choose which online map service you want to use (Theft Aware, Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, Microsoft Bing Maps). Theft Aware Maps is new in 2.0 those maps links will forward you to our servers for advanced mapping functionality (e.g. the link will also work on mobile phones and provide cell ID position tracking if no GPS data was available). Gps Query Timeout Here you can set the timeout in minutes after which GPS location requests will be cancelled automatically. Tracking on SIM Change This option was removed in build 1652 as it can happen due to system issues within Android that valid SIM cards are identified as non-trusted SIM cards. This would result in potentially huge amounts of SMS that would be sent without the agreement of the phone owner. We ask for your understanding. SMS on Low Battery Set this option to Always to always receive notification SMS once the battery state of the phone is low. Use Upon SIM Card Change to get those SMS only if an unknown SIM is present in the phone. A notification means that the phone probably will go offline soon. Lock USB-Debugging (only for rooted devices, new since build 1732) If you set this option, USB debugging will be locked immediately if a non trusted SIM card is present. The lock also is enabled if the device is marked as LOST. Thieves are then unable to access the phone using special tools. Back Up Settings (only for rooted devices) This will store the Theft Aware settings to a place that will even survive a hard reset on a phone. This only makes sense if you installed Theft Aware as a system application to make it hard-reset-proof. If you have some super-user whitelist program installed, this will cause a popup asking for super-user permission. If you installed Theft Aware as a system application and want to uninstall Theft Aware, please follow this guide.

Theft Aware also takes care that no trace of the dialed access code is left in the phones call logs by removing that call log entries immediately after the dialing process.
At this point in time on Theft Aware will add the currently inserted SIM card to the trusted SIM card list. Youll be informed by that by a short notification.

If the access code does not match, the command is ignored and the SMS will be forwarded to the normal SMS inbox on the phone, triggering all SMS arrival notifications. New since build 1654: SMS commands now can be terminated by typing ##. Sometimes e.g. web SMS tools append advertisement text to sent SMS. This results in Theft Aware being not able to interpret the received SMS correctly. If you now terminate the command by ##, Theft Aware will ignore that additional text and your command will then work correctly. Example: 2222 LOCK ## sms.at some additional text Theft Aware will only process 2222 SPERREN

SMS command: SET SYSTEM <System mode> Sample: 2222 SET SYSTEM 0 Caution: By using this command you will completely disable the Theft Aware system thus rendering the Theft Aware protection useless. Description: Will set Theft Awares system enabled setting. Set <System mode> to 0 to disable Theft Aware and make it visible again.

Implement Own Remote Commands Theft Aware is able to launch any programs on the phone and pass data to the launched program. Note, this command interface is valid from build 526 on (find the build number on the About-tab). SMS command: <FULLY QUALIFIED ACTIVITY OR SERVICE NAME> <ARGUMENTS> Samples: 2222 at.domain.package.Activity Test this will start the activity OR service at.domain.package.Activity and pass Test as an parameter to it. 2222 at.domain.package.Activity This is my command line this will start the activity OR service at.domain.package.Activity and pass This is my command line as an parameter to it. The activity or service needs to be positioned on TOP of the package (sub-packages are NOT supported). Data transfer is done via Intent:
Intent i = new Intent(); i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); i.putExtra("number", origNumber); i.putExtra("cmd", data); i.setComponent(cName);
This means you can then read (in your service or activity) the sender number in the String extra number and the command from the String extra cmd. Theft Aware always tries to start an Activity first, if none is found it tries to start a Service, if this fails it will reply with an error SMS. Have fun publishing apps based on this. Tell us and we will promote it for you! Suggestions for enhancing the interface go to reinhard@itagents.at.
