Hi there,
This software is an Antitheft and you can use it to track your device when it was lost or stolen. It works catching a formated SMS/EMail sent from any phone/computer and then receiving useful informations back.
You can use it to others objectives, like keep your eye in your child. Use your imagination!
You can set up to four emergengy contacts to receive SMS if the thief change your SIM card and you still can track your device.
The RemoteTracker for Android is an evolution from an old project for Windows Mobile 6 (If you want to see the entire history, please click here).
I'm justing starting this project. There are much more to come.
This version answer the commands below:
rt#gp#<some_phone_number>#<password> - try to get GPS coordinates and send back to cel number passed as parameter.
rt#egp#<some_e-mail_account> - try to get GPS coordinates and send back to e-mail passed as parameter.
rt#gi - Send informations about your phone: IMSI, IMEI and ICCID.
rt#egi - Same as 'gi' but the answer goes by e-mail.
This project can be multi-language. In this version there is only English (sorry about it, my english is very bad because this is not my mother language). If you want to make your own translate, I can tell how. Very simple.
If you decide to try RemoteTracker, I would like to read reviews, comments and suggestions. Remember this is a beta version and may contain bugs. Use at your own risk and with caution.
--> It is a work in progress. In future versions I will make a lot more.

Hello All,
If you want to try RemoteTracker as a beta tester, please e-mail me. I'll upload RemoteTracker to Market, but I need to be sure there are no bugs and I'll be very happy to have more people testing.
All the best,
Joubert
I want to try it

I sent a message to you in pvt.
I was actually looking for a good tracker I can integrate into my own personal custom ROM. I'll have a look.
Please pvt me with your email. I'll send the apk to you.
Wow, nice to see this make it to Android.
Some suggestions,
1: Name it something that isn't obvious in the market. Don't want a thief easily finding it in the installed apps list. Going to the market and then buying "my apps" shows you exactly what's installed. So you should name it something totally different that nobody would suspect or want to remove. Like "memory maximizer" or something like that. Probably want to keep it in the middle of the alphabet so it's not at the top or bottom of the list.
2: Maybe make a way to remotely monitor the front/rear camera. Then you could get the thief on video (and also see if it's a crowd, or some huge guy you don't want to mess with, lol).
I'll try to help test when I get another phone and more time. Right now I don't have a lot of time to work out bugs. And more importantly I only have the 1 phone, and I can't afford to have it malfunctioning (I need it for work). I'll buy a used extra phone for testing and then I'll help test.

Check roundup (1). Only "Android Lost" and "Cerberus" can capture photos and audio.
Very important to me: Only "Android Lost" can activate GPS AND WLAN by SMS control!
---
Correction: I found a review on Theft Aware (now in the Avast suite) that statet this:
"GPS is enabled automatically + GPS icon hides while the app is determining the phone's position (root is required for this on some phones, as it doesn't work without root 100% of the time)."

Hey all,
pypmin is a web monitoring application for administrators, it helps you keep track of the availability and response time of your website applications on the go using your phones internet connection.
You simply build a list of websites and pypmin will poll them in the background. When a website is unreachable pypmin alerts you with the http status code, you can also opt in to receive alerts whenever the content of the website changes.
You can configure the poll interval, and also the threshold of consecutive failures before an alert is made, in order to account for occasional problems with your phones connectivity.
I made this app a few weeks ago as a private tool for monitoring the websites that I host, I figured it was ready to dish out to people. Please tell me what you think, if you end up using it and want new features then please let me know.
You can find the app at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creepy.pyp
Edit: New features including content change alerts have been added to version 1.0.6, there is now also a pro version with extras on the play store. Some advanced settings have been made pro exclusive, so if you rely on those settings you'll have to stick with 1.0.5, which will remain attached to this thread.
For those interested, I've added an APK file.
Has anyone had a chance to try this out? I'd be interested to know of any opinions/issues you've come across. So far I've only managed to test it on the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5 and Galaxy Note.

Will test a bit later today, could be very useful. Maybe add a feature that counts how many visitors / hits your page as had that day?

Funnily enough I'm actually in the process of making a version of this for myself. Stats such as visitor counts and server CPU and memory usage would have to come via the server itself, or an analytics platform, so to add this in I'd have to dish out some scripts and a tutorial for setting this up on your own server.
I'm definitely willing to do that as an open source project, since I'm making it anyway, but I'll want some time to finish it and test it thoroughly. If anyone else is interested in this then let me know which analytics platform you use, if any, and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for making this app..:good:
Awesome little app :thumbup:
One suggestion, if the option of persistent mode was available I/we could set the polling time to hourly and we would be notified if issues occurred.

Would you be able to add a feature where it tells you if changes have been made/site was updated since the last poll?
For example, I randomly check http://desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC/ for new builds of firmware (DDWRT) for my router. This app is very light weight and it would be great if it would respond back and say "Hey, the site I've been randomly checking for you to make sure it's up has also been updated with new content."
This would be valuable to myself and I am willing to throw you 5 bucks if you can add it.
Thanks!
Very helpful, thx for this app.

For example, I am admin on 2 wordpress-homepages with low traffic hosted on cheap web-hotels. Those web-hotel-provideres run badly designed robots, that looks for suspicius code on all their sites, and changes my .htaccess if the robot thinks, it has found something (without warning me).
This feature could help find a changed .htaccess file faster than I can do it today.

Adding an option to run nrpe/nagios checks remotely on Windows boxes would be most useful. I monitor with nagios, and use nrpe for all of windows vm's. Health, mem, cpu, etc. Open source so can likely make use of nrpe in this handy little app.

Hey all! I've just uploaded pypmin version 1.0.6 to this thread as well as the play store.
Version 1.0.6 has the following extras:
- Optional alerts for content changes (configured per website)
- Export your pyp items (for importing into the new pro version)
I have also released pypmin pro to the play store. It's a paid version that has a new benchmarking utility for testing the performance of your server. Some of the advanced settings in 1.0.5 have been made exclusive to the pro version, so if you rely on those settings you might want to stick to version 1.0.5 if you're unwilling to buy the pro version.
I'm currently working on having server side statistics integrated into pypmin, but I haven't got a full plan for this yet so I can't say if or when it will be ready. Please let me know if there are any extra features you'd like and thanks for giving pypmin a try!
Hey all, pypmin was recently updated to version 1.1.2, this adds the ability to specify the exact response code expected for each individual website. This allows you to monitor websites where a '200 OK' response is not actually expected.
For example, you could be monitoring a website that requires authentication, and so you would specify the code 401 to be expected. With that option set pypmin will not only alert you when an error is returned, but also when a 200 response is recieved which indicates that you have accidentally opened up the site to unauthorized clients.
Enjoy.
Hey there,
I'm currently writing my thesis on "connection between context and creativity of persons" and made a simple note taking app for this. Every time you work on an idea (e.g. "How to get my cat to like me more") several contexts are collected (location and date) which will be send to a server for later analysis.
The long goal will be an app that supports you in your creativity and will notify you when you are in a similar creative context.
More info and the APK can be found here: http://apptest.willey.de
Thanks for your help!

Based on the description, you have me wondering why I need an app to tell me when I'm being creative. Or am I missing something? This is being asked because I'm curious, not to be argumentative.

Yes that sounds weird
Imagine a student who works on a project with some fellow students. And they are in the "Idea Phase" where everyone should collect some Ideas which will be discussed in the next group meeting. Everyone knows how this works. One hour before the next meeting we write down some ****ty ideas and that's it.
What could you do about this?
Set some fixed reminders like "Every Day at 8:00 pm, COLLECT IDEAS FOR PROJECT!!"
So every day at 8:00 pm you get a reminder no matter what your actual context is. If you don't feel like thinking about the project you dismiss the reminder and that's it
The goal of this app would be that it waits until you are in a similar situation (f.e. in a cafe, in a park, at home, in the evening, in the morning, on mondays, ...) and then suggests "Hey wanna think about your project?"
I hope I could make it a little bit clearer, english is not my native language
Your English is fine, in fact, while not prefect, better than quite a few native tongue, or fingers if you will.
So based on a calendar or location you can set reminders? Does it, or can it, tie into Google products such as: Now, Calendar or Keep?
Unfortunately ATM the app is purely for evaluation purposes to see if there are any patterns in usage or if creativity occurs just randomly. Developing a full App would be the next step if any patterns are found. Without patterns the "intelligent notifications" wouldn't make any sense I think
This almost sounds like the chicken and the egg argument. You need to find patterns before intelligent notifications, but without knowing when to prompt, how are patterns determined?
A typical note taking app like Keep, tied into a time keeper like calendar with the geolocation ability of Now would partially answer your issue. "Ok Google. Remind me to enter project ideas in Keep everyday when I get to work." Not sure Google now is quite there yet on its own, but there are things like AutoVoice with Tasker that would do those types of things now.

As for when creativity happens, it will probably be determined to be individualistic. Some will display randomly, some during sleep and wake up to record. Others may only be prompted by environment as opposed to scheduling like work (think song writers or authors).

The problem with "traditional" Solutions like Tasker/AutoVoice would be that you enter those notifications yourself. So you set notifications when you plan to be creative. My idea is to look at your past, find "creative highs" and notify you when you are in a similar situation.
Examples would be
--> Person X tends to work on his idea on mondays and fridays in the afternoon when he is at location X but never after 9:00pm.
--> Person Y worked on his ideas in a park nearby when the sun was shining
--> Person Z tends to work in cafes in the morning
...
To find these patterns (if there are any), is the first step. The next step would be to implement the intelligent notifications based on the users past behavior.
--> Welcome home, time to think about your Idea "Solve world hunger"
--> Hey look at the beautiful weather. Time to go outside and think about your "Cat Problem" ?
--> There are 5 Cafes nearby, time to think about "how to take over the world"?
So the agenda looks like this
Track users creativity to see if there are any patterns
Create notifications based on this
???
Profit

Tasker can be utilized and is utilized exactly as you have described. There are "assistant" apps/tasks that allow events to be kicked off automagically based on environment: location, light sensor, what WiFi you're connected to, time of day or day of week, etc.
I can have a task set that will turn on my WiFi when I get to work if it is Monday-Friday before 5p. It can also make sure to turn off my Bluetooth and kick off my time recording app. When i arrive home, a textthingsred off to my wife letting her know I'm home so she can add to my honey do list. These tasks run apps, turn things off and on all based on location and calendar.
I'm not trying to make a case for utilizing tasker and other apps to do what you're trying to do. Getting all of that stuff configured is not the easiest thing to do. Just mentioning it is possible and being done.
Now if you can have your app recognize patterns and trends in how people think (their creativeness), you're onto something beyond this university assignment.

I know Tasker but I think it is horribly complex and still you have to program it yourself when to notify you or do certain actions. For someone who is brainstorming on a project and just wants to be reminded from time to time Tasker might be overkill.
I don't want to analyze the users behaviour or analyze how people think. In the best case no data will leave the device because everything could be done locally (Get current locations type via Openstreetmaps, search similar locations, search current weather conditions, ...). For my thesis I just want to see if there are simple but interesting regularities like 90% of my users used the app in the morning, they rarely switched locations when brainstorming, .... Or in the worst case no patterns at all.

Something to think about, the 90% of the users that you talk about may only "be creative" in one or very similar ways and may not give you an adequate picture of the data you're trying to acquire.
Your app may only appeal to one segment of the creative audience.
It's already been shown that people learn in three different ways and many of those often blend two of the designations. Seeing, hearing and doing. Being creative isn't going to be any different, just look at the examples I've started before.
You're going to have to design your app with multiple interfaces that will appeal to different audiences. A robotics engineer, oil painter, song writer, dancer, marketing executive aren't going to think and record notes intuitively the same way.
Hello, I am an independent developer and I have made an application called "Here I Am". I claim that this app is better than most location reporting apps in the market and I am requesting you to kindly try this application out and tell me what you think.
Be it your mom, dad or your significant other, there is always someone who cares about you when you leave home. They want to know again and again where you are but you cannot stop your car and type texts like that. Here I Am serves you by periodically sending information of your current location in the form of SMS to that person.
But here's what makes it UNIQUE:
This app sends the texts in human readable language. The receiver will not be staring at the screen trying to figure out what do those coordinates mean. Because there will be no coordinates, nor will there be a link forcing them to open a web browser every time. The app will simply send texts in the following format:
"I'm at STREET NAME near LANDMARK", or
"I'm at STREET NAME, AREA NAME, heading towards LANDMARK. Just crossed A LANDMARK BEHIND ME".
FEATURES:
- Easy to use (provide a contact and forget everything).
- Detailed and advanced settings for users who want full control.
- The receiver only needs to read the sms, without the struggle to interpret it.
- This is a truly BEAUTIFULLY designed application.
- Look ma! No hands: You activate the app and forget it. The app will do all the work at the appropriate times.
TLDR;
This app can periodically send texts to your selected contact about details of your current location. This usually includes the street name and if you are moving towards or away from some place, it can include that place's name as well.
The application uses it's handcrafted algorithms to detect if it needs to tell about your movements or not.

Hey guys,
We are a small team of android developers that had a cool idea of a reminder app which we have released to the market some time ago.
The app called 'NeverForget Reminder' and the idea is simple: A solution to forgetting stuff when you leave your home(or your current location). There are tons of situations when this app may be useful. A classic example is when you leave your home at the morning to your job, you surely need to take with you some stuff such as your bag, wallet, keys, etc.. NeverForget's Reminder purpose is to make sure you won't forget any of it again. Another example is when you visit your friends house and you brought with you some stuff, when leaving it, the last thing you want is to forget that stuff at your friends home. NeverForget will remind you to take it when you leave that place.
One of our main goals was to make the app as simple as possible, so there is one main button. Click it to start the reminder. And when you will leave your current place, the app will start a loud alarm. There are additional options available such as setting the alarm name or taking a photo of the stuff you need to take.
After thinking of this idea, we have searched a lot and could not find any solutions to that common problem. After deeper search we understood why is that. There is NO way to determine device's location inside a building, for these days. GPS does not working inside closed places, and that was our biggest issue that we successfully overcame with NeverForget.
Basically what we do is rely on WiFi networks around you. Then we make calculations to determine when you getting away from that network and when you do, a load alarm starts with a reminder. If no WiFi networks around you, GPS service is required.
The app is FREE to use and available at Google Play.
We would appreciate your feedback and hope you will try out our app - NeverForget Reminder.
For any questions you can send us an email to: [email protected]
