BackPackTrack II is an open source utility application meant to continuously record your location, without draining your battery and without requiring an internet connection.
The GPS will be switched on every 3 minutes for a maximum of 60 seconds (both configurable) to acquire a location, but only if you are moving. If there is not at least one satellite visible after 30 seconds (configurable), the GPS will be turned off. When the GPS cannot get a fix, a network location will be used as backup.
BackPackTrack II will also passively use locations requested by other applications, for example mapping applications. Passive locations will be recorded if the bearing changes by more than 30 degrees or if the altitude changes by more than 20 meter (both configurable).
Locations will be filtered based on distance from your last location and based on location accuracy. The default is to filter locations within 100 meter of the last location and locations with an accuracy of worse than 100 meter.
The altitude of GPS locations will be corrected using the EGM96 model, which can make a significant difference in some areas.
From the status bar notification you can make an extra trackpoint or a new waypoint. Waypoints will be automatically reverse geocoded if there is an internet connection, otherwise this can be done later using the waypoint editor.
You can export your location history as a GPX or KML file for visualization in another application. You could use OsmAnd or Google Earth for this purpose.
You can upload your location history to a WordPress weblog using a small WordPress plugin. You could use the Google Maps GPX Viewer plugin for visualization.
If you want to see the status of the GPS, you could use the application GPS Status & Toolbox.
As a bonus BackPackTrack includes:
an activity history, so you can see when you were doing what
a step counter which doesn't count false steps, because activity recognition will be used to count steps only while you are walking (your device needs to have a hardware step counter for this to work)
tabular and graphical actual and historical weather information, including weather notification and rain warning
hourly and daily weather forecasting for the last or a selected location
search for Wikipedia articles around waypoints
search for geonames around waypoints
fetch elevation data from Google
BackPackTrack II is a complete rewrite of BackPackTrack, the first Android application I wrote in 2011.
You can download the latest version of the application here.
You can find more information, including frequently asked questions, on GitHub.
Works on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and later.
Questions and remarks are very welcome.
If you like BackPackTrack II, you can let me know through a small PayPal donation.

Looks interesting
Will you release this on F-Droid?
I tried GPS Logger before, but I found it too complicated to use and very non-transparent (I wouldn't have an idea when it would record data and when not).

You will see this application is very easy to use. There is no question if or when it records locations: always, when moving. You can turn off tracking with a check box. If you don't have Play services installed, the application will not crash, but will acquire locations when you are still (not moving) as well.
Depending on the interest, I will publish this application in the Play store and maybe on F-Droid after testing. For now releases will be available on GitHub only.
Hmmm, this may be exactly what i needed
BUT i have a question:
If you don't have Play services installed, the application will not crash, but will acquire locations when you are still (not moving) as well.

Is there any way to avoid this?

No, there isn't a way, since activity recognition (what you are doing) is being used. As far as I know there is no open source library to do something similar

You could reduce the frequency of acquiring locations (default 3 minutes) and the maximum wait time (default 60 second) for a location to keep battery usage acceptable without activity recognition.

Thank you for answers and ideas, good luck and stay safe (on track, that is).
upd: i wonder - so, what exactly is needed to have it working as it should - only some libs that i can add manually, or rather whole subsystem with services(=gapps)?
I am curious how it is working, generally.

I don't know which components are needed to make it work, but this is what is needed for activity recognition:
https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/ActivityRecognition
My best guess is you need all of the Play services for this, because of dependencies.

I am the author of XPrivacy as well, so I am quite aware of this. Unfortunately there is no open source alternative to recognize user activity, else I had used it. The best I can do, which I already did, is not making a hard dependency. What also needs to be said: Google's activity recognition works pretty well, like most of their stuff, which maybe explains why they can do what they are doing.

I have just made available beta version 0.2
Download:
https://github.com/M66B/BackPackTrackII/releases/tag/0.2
Besides small improvements and minor bug fixes, this version will use passive location updates when the bearing changes by more than 30 degrees or the altitude changes more than 20 meters (both configurable). This means that if you have other software running which turns on the GPS, like mapping software, BackPackTrack II will take a free ride on the location updates.
Please let me hear what you think of BackPackTrack II, also if you don't have questions or remarks, so I can get an idea about how useful it is to publish future updates.
I have just made available beta version 0.3, which will be available in the Play store too after Google has approved the application.
I have just released beta version 0.11 to the Play store.
This version fixes some small bugs, improves some minor things and adds a few new features, like optionally filtering some activity types.
It can take a few hours before Google makes this version available.
I have just released beta version 0.14 to the Play store.
This version adds registering/viewing recognized activities and a new flat notification icon.
It can take a few hours before Google makes this version available.
Just installed. Everything works properly (Maybe). 3 comments:
1. There is no option to exit the app. Or am I missing something?
2. Shouldn't the notification also show the last location instead of "unknown"? See attached screenshot.
3. (OT) The Github repo has option to create issues.

Thanks for your feedback!
The application is meant to run continuously, so there is no exit/quit option. The closest is to disabled tracking using the appropriate check box.
"Unknown" refers to your current activity (still, on foot, in vehicle, etc), not your current location (this will not work without Play services).
The GitHub issues are deliberately disabled, so I have to look for issues here only. I don't expect a high volume of issues, like with XPrivacy.
2 more things:
1. The babkpack man looks cool. He should also become the app icon in my opinion.
2. It would be a nice feature to be able to clear the DB after a gpx export.

Installed the server, launched it says "ready" with ip address, but inserting this address in any ftp client it isn't reachable. It's limited to wifi? i'm in 3G.

Thanks you berserker for the post, I've already bought the paid version.
A question: I like like the possibility to start at boot, always run in the background and activate itself only when on wi-fi (at work and at home).
But I keep getting notifications (in the notification bar and toasts) which kind of annoy me.
Could you add a "silent mode", always run in the background without notification (if I have a problem with the app I could open the interface and see whats going on, if tis active or not)?
Or could you at least add an option to hide it from the notification bar? I know that the android system could stop it automatically if it doesn't reside in the notification bar but :
- I like to have only notifications in that bar, the more apps use that space the less useful it becomes
- on latest devices we have at least 512MB RAM so apps closed by the garbage collector is not a real issue (I run WidgetLocker without the notification and it was "garbaged" only 3-4 times in 6 months)
Thanks again for the app, even with the small issue above is still the best Android ftp server (and I say this after testing almost all of them)

Looks good but i was just wondering on the speed.
Is there a automatic cap for speed or can one be set manually.
If i wanted too say move a 100mb file from one phone too another or too pc could i set the speed level so it does not disrupt any other services i have running on wifi.
I would like too be able too lower speed so it just does the job in the background.
Iv not tried this or downloaded it yet,but do intend too but was just wondering about the speed thing.
I see from the small list of thing you wrote that they are pretty much just the same as what can be done with bluetooth.Could you tell me the advantage of using this over normal bluetooth.
I don't have bluetooth on any laptop/pc in my house so thats one gain id say,any others ?
Thanks looking like a great app at the moment.

Hi, most of the times the speed must me as high as possible and you probably known that Bluetooth is slow compared to WiFI (it's an advantage even if you don't need it ). Other advantages are: public access, users management, folders restriction and all the FTP stuffs in general (moreover you already wrote that not all devices are equipped with bluetooth).
I take a look in the Pure-FTPd documentation (please remember that this is a native port of the same application that runs on most FTP servers, so the "feature" must be supported by Pure-FTPd itself) and it seems that bandwith limit is supported (more info here at "BANDWIDTH THROTTLING" chapter). I'll have a look on it for the next release

Thanks for reply.
yeah bluetooth is pretty slow but it is also consistent for me.
For me since i have around 3-5 devices connected too my wifi at any one time(not including phones) i find attaching other devices that the norm would be for the device too try obtain the more bandwidth.
Basically all device are trying too get the most bandwidth at one time so if i could restrict what i would see as less important devices(phones) too a limited speed then there would be less strain on the network for other users laptop/pc etc.
Just my thoughts by the way and not by any means a criticism of the app.
thanks again for reply good luck with this i will be testing it today at some time so if i have any feedback ill let you know.Thanks for the link also ill give it a read.
I will buy if you can change the icon to match the stock nexus theme. Eg, a flat grey outline no color something that matches like the "alarm" icon in the status bar.

Hello Peoples of XDA Developers! Today I'll be sharing an APP that is definitely my most favorite one on Android...It is called Mango and it is an HD Manga Reader for on the go!
Mango provides many features such as My Library which allows a user to download specific chapters from any manga and basically save it on your phone for Offline Reading. It also has a Favorite section that allows a user to bookmark his/her favorite series and then get the latest updates just for the chosen ones. Another great part about this APP is the number of sources it provides such as Mangareader.net, Mangastream.com, Mangafox.com, Mangashare.com, MangAble.com and lastly AnimeA.com.
Those sources basically give you the most available series possible for a Manga App.
Here is the Dev's Page:
http://mango.leetsoft.net/
Here is the Market Version. It is called PocketManga:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ls.manga#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmxzLm1hbmdhIl0.
EDIT: PoketManga has been removed from the Android Market...Just like Mango's fate HOWEVER, Victor will still keep the updated versions on his website, so make sure to check it out!
Here is the free version's latest .apk:

Hello Peoples! The Dev of the Mango Manga HD app is making a request for ALL users to switch to Mango v1.4. Only 26% have done so, so far. The reason being is that firstly...1.4 is BETTER, secondly the Dev has acquired a new server which will host the Manga queries BUT v1.3 runs on the previous server. So instead of paying for 2 running servers, he recommends EVERYONE to download the latest version and then you will be able to enjoy the most out of the app!

Mango 1.4.140 (Renji) is now available. This version adds auto-download new chapters feature, data folder override, return of the zoom vibration, a few advanced options, changes to Bankai validation (separate app no longer required), tutorial skip option, a few Notifications fixes, Inverted Color Mode crash fix, and speed improvements in the Library Browser. Download it from:
http://mango.leetsoft.net/apk/140/Mango.apk
Nice to see this is still supported, even though it is off the market.
NEWS:
Quick Announcement guys! SInce Victor (The Dev) has placed Mango on the Market and Google removed it twice for no specific reason, he will be changing the name and try to post it on the Market again.
By a Poll, the new name is gonna PocketManga and the App icon will have "L" from Death Note.
Mango and PocketManga will be updated at the same time and gradually we will switch to the new name PocketManga only if Google does not remove it...
Anyways, hope everything goes well and then many more people will be able to enjoy this awesome app
Just got the new link:

Enjoy!
Will download it when you remove permissions to read log files and phone identity

Tinfoil hat here, I can ensure you this app is safe.
The dev has explained why he needs those permission in the official Mango profile on Facebook some months ago. It's just anonymous statistics that he uses for debug reasons. Anyway, you can opt-out with just a click if you don't feel sure.

Mango developer here, felt I should chime in.
Fair warning, this is a huge post, but I'll explain exactly what these permissions are used for, and how they are used.
The Read System Log permission is used for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. As you use the app, Mango writes general diagnostic information about its performance to the Android system log. Later on, if the user goes to Send Feedback and selects "I'm having an issue", Mango will include diagnostic information from the log along with the user's message. I've found this to be invaluable when the user emails me stating "it doesnt work fix plz" and the diagnostic log shows that their SD card is full and Mango can't write anything to it. Most importantly, when the app force closes, a stack trace is written to the log pinpointing the exact line of code causing the FC.
A few things to note about the log data:
-It only ever leaves your phone when you use the Send Feedback function, compose a message, and send that message via your Email app (the diagnostic data is appended to the end of the email, you can view it before sending, or delete it if you don't wish for it to be sent)
-You can view the data at any time by going to Settings and Help >> Advanced Options >> Debug Log
-Only data that Mango has written to the log itself is ever read from the log. Though the system log is shared by all apps and the OS itself, Mango filters the log to only read data with the "MANGO" tag.
I am planning on implementing a custom logger soon so that Mango can read and write log data in it's own isolated log file, allowing me to remove the permission requirement.
Regarding the Read Phone State and Identity permission, this one is used to get the device UUID. The permission also allows the requesting app to view the phone number of an incoming call, which is why the header is "Phone Calls" in the Android permission warning screen. Mango has no reason to see or use that data, so it does not ever use the functionality, but it's a package deal included with the ability to use the getDeviceId API.
Unfortunately this one is required by the MobClix SDK used to display ads and is used by Mango to differentiate one device from another. Since there are no usernames/user accounts, but Mango uses an external server to do lots of the app's work, the server needs to be able to tell one device from another, and since IP addresses are often shared between many phones on a carrier, the server uses the device UUID instead.
It is important to note that the Mango Service does not associate your UUID with any reading history or favorites... that's kept on your device and never touches the server (though in the future, I might add an optional cloud sync feature). The only data associated with your UUID in the server's database are your Android version number, your phone's model number, your Mango version number, whether or not you've purchased the ad-free version, and the total number of times you've started the app. This lets me generate some basic stats about the app's usage, which you can view here:
http://mangoservice.leetsoft.net/stats.png
The UUID (rather, a hash of it, not the ID itself) is also used by the Flurry Analytics component which provides me with some more detailed (but still aggregated and anonymized) stats regarding app usage, such as how many users per week I see, what paths users most frequently take throughout the app, the number of favorites users have, and the Preferences they have enabled. For example, it lets me see that about 46% of Mango users have more than 20 favorites, about 14% of users check the "Left-to-Right Reading" option, and that only 8% of Mango users use the filtering option in the Favorites menu (clearly, it's something I need to promote more visibly in the next version, because it's an awesome feature and almost nobody is using it... :S ). I can't tell which options any individual user is using, since all of the data is aggregated and anonymized.
The user must opt-in to analytics... it is disabled by default and is only turned on if the user selects "Yes" to the "Enable Analytics?" option that appears when you first start the app. The user can also change this setting at any time from the Preferences menu.
/whew, I think that about covers it. Obviously there's no way for me to prove that what I've said above is true and it's completely up to you to believe me or not. But I write and maintain Mango as a hobby (though, thanks to the incredible response it's received, it's a hobby that's paying for my tuition!) and I really don't have any nefarious plot to use your data.
If you have any more questions, let me know. I don't check this thread super-frequently, but if you email me ([email protected]) I'll probably get back to you within 24 hours.
Also, thanks iasookia for making this thread!

The actual download speed simply depends on the network connection. I have been using Mango, and now PocketManga, since I got my Android Phone and haven't had any lags or slow downloads per se.
When I used my carrier's data, it would take about 3-4 min to download a chapter to the Library BUT at home, with WiFi, I get a chapter in like 40 seconds.
There is an issue however, if there are too many people on the same time, the server can't support the queries and then the downloads are slow...

This is a new app I have written for Android that allows you to schedule uploads or downloads from your Dropbox.
For e.g. you can back up data from your device, or you can download a new playlist onto your device every morning. There are so many possibilities. Transfering data to/from your device has become so much easier.
Uses:
You create folder-pairs on your remote dropbox and your device. An upload or download is triggered at the pre-set time. In this way you can upload photos every night, or download music every morning. Or replicate your documents across all your devices.
You could set it up (with your credentials) on some one elses device to push files or updates, or retrieve data/photos etc, so it can be used for sharing common data.
The app does not do two-way syncing (which takes up far greater resources).
Features:
Custom pipes! Direct your files to where you want to!
Scheduler
File filter - Filter which files are to be transfered
Power aware - Conserves battery can run only on WiFi or when Plugged into mains
Runs in background only when needed
Notifications
Integration
Dropbox browser with Folder upload/download capabilities
Bug Reporting:
Please report sensibly with as much information as you can.
Layout issues: Please report the device name and also a screenshot if possible.
Force closes and crashes: Please report the logs and stacktrace as well.
Errors: Please report the exact error message and steps taken that produced it.
Behavior Quirks: Please report the steps taken, and what is wrong with the behaviour.
Feature requests: I will probably implement new features after all bugs are squashed, but I would like to hear your ideas.
Distrubtion and Marketing: Help for Play Store. Suggestions for better description and Search optimisation.
Please report and issues and suggestions to [email protected]
Disclaimer:
Please make sure you have a backup of any important data you cannot afford to lose.
This app requires a Dropbox account. Get it HERE
The apps
DOWNLOAD the app here
DOWNLOAD the eXTenDeD version here
Plugins to the app:
PhoneBackup:
Its a cool tool that can backup your SMS, Contacts and Call Logs. The good thing is that it backs it up as a CSV file. That way you can just open it and see all your contacts. What is every way more cooler, is that you can edit the CSV file and restore the edited data back to the phone. It is really useful, do have a look at it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maximussoft.backup
Tasker Plugin:
You need Tasker and Cloudpipes both to use it. It allows you a greater control over when you want to run your pipes. Users of tasker will already know what to do with it!

And also read about the app here: http://cloudpipes.wordpress.com
Thank you for your help and support!!!
Made some new updates:
Allow Dropbox browsing even when transfers are running
Fixed some typos and messages
Many UI enhancements, new icons!
Loving this app so far.
Well done.
Wait. I can upload music on it? I mean choose the whole album and not just a song and upload it?

Yes, you can choose a whole album. The app supports folders and sub-folders.
In fact, even if all your songs are in the same folder, you can use the file filter to filter out your music (for e.g. a filter with "Linkin*Park*.mp3")
Yesterday I fixed a few more issues I was having with 'spaces' in folder names.
Let me know if you find any more issues!
Changelog:
Ver 0.9.3 (07/07/12)
- Fix force close on login with special characters
- Fix force close on upload folder names with special characters
- Fix force close on empty folder uploads
- Fix for saving pipes
- Fix for last run information
Password security??
I posted this comment over at AndroidAuthority
This app creator had Zero other apps in the Play Store, and the webpage has no other information about the creator(s).
I previously used DropSpace, but it had become unreliable.
This app looks fantastic, exactly what I want (one-way sync), but how can I trust this person with my DropBox username and password???

I just found this thread today, so I guess one answer is "s/he is on XDA", which lends a huge amount of credibility IMHO.
Although, before this thread, the OP has only posted twice in the last year, so not exactly the most active Dev.
Is there anything else that can assuage my concerns?
I saw one of the Play Store comments mentioned "What, no OAuth??" Is this a concern?
Seriously, this app looks like almost EXACTLY what I've been hoping for. If it works, I will gladly buy a Pro version to support the Dev as soon as it's available.

Hi ScottHW,
I think I replied to your post on the Dropbox forums too. As you can see we both joined XDA one month apart, and have similar number of posts and thanks!
Anyway, the reason for not posting is that when I initially got an Android phone I started to get into modding etc so I would come to XDA for that kind of stuff. However, when I began serious development I started visiting app dev forums; thus the inactivity on XDA.
Here is my thread on my home forum: http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/test-my-app/18970-cloudpipes-beta-testers-required.html
More than 1000 posts in one year!
I use an IDE called Basic4Android to develop my app which is super cool and easy: http://www.basic4ppc.com/index.html
Back to your concerns. This is my first app and I have learnt a lot. I might make mistakes and would happy to correct them when people point them out, but I would not knowingly steal your passwords or data and try to keep them safe.
So what are your concerns and how can I make you feel more comfortable?
Regarding this comment:
"What, no OAuth??"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dropbox API requires to use OAuth 1.0.
See here and here.
Therefore that comment is technically inaccurate. However, since API ver 1, Dropbox requires users to login via either the official Dropbox app or a Web Browser (and then return to the app). While this increases security in that you do not need to provide your username/password to my app (I can still access all your data once you grant permission), some people find it annoying and an unnecessary step (i.e. to leave the app to authenticate and then return back).
Either way, I plan to implement both authentication methods so this may ease your concerns too.
There will be a Pro version soon with many more added features. However first I need to iron out all bugs, and so far it is looking reasonably stable.
Looks cool, I will check it out...I can't complain with over 100GB of FREE Dropbox space that I can finally use now
I don't know how I will use it, but I am going to check out the app

100 GB!!! Was that just referrals or did you win DropQuest 2012?
This means you can back up your phone all the time! However remember that the Dropbox API restricts uploads to 150 MB per file. So uploading for e.g. nandroid backups > 150 MB, or uploading large movies will fail and you may have to use the Desktop client (I dont know if the Web interface allows more than 300 MB) or a file splitter.
You can potentially put your whole music collection on Dropbox and download the albums you want only.
Let me know how you use it and if you find it useful.

I now have implemented Dropbox Authentication through the Official Dropbox app/site, so you do not need to enter your username/password in my app anymore. This should be more secure than before.
awesome, just waht i was looking for
A new version now uploaded. I hope this is crash free, I have fixed all stability issues and reported crashes!
Changelog:
Ver 0.9.8 (22/07/12)
- App now starts on boot so pipes are scheduled even on reboot
- Fixed crashes when transfers fail or are re-tried. Transfers are now retried 5 times before they fail.
Your software is great! I restate my intention to buy a Pro version as soon as it's available. Thanks for responding so rapidly by implementing alternate authentication methods.
I have several suggestions, I hope XDA is an appropriate venue for conversing.
Right away, I would request you implement Revision checking for uploading. I know that DropSpace had this capability, so it must be present in the DropBox API, even the older versions.
If I have 350 pics in my DCIM folder, and I to back them up to DropBox, which already has copies of the oldest 320, there's no need for me to re-upload all 350. It's a huge waste of bandwidth and time.
Maybe I'm using the wrong technical terms here, but that's the general idea. I'd say it's essential to an app like CloudPipes.
More suggestions to come, keep up the great work!
Hi ScottHW,
Thanks for considering using the app.
I have many suggestions coming in and they are all in the pipeline. Once I get all of the essentials, then I will move on to a Pro version.
As you said, revision checking is essential. This is my current priority and hopefully I will get an update out soon.

Awesome work on this app. Cloudpipes is the absolute best. Saves me countless hours and time with my Nexus 7 and the lack of external SD. I can now flash at will without ever worrying about losing data.
I would like to second the revision checking functionality. would be an awesome addition. I look forward to seeing it in a future release. I would like to add one more thing I would like to see as well. I would like the ability to exclude certian files and folders via checkbox or similar mechanism (default for new folders and files would always be on of course). But this would be extremely helpful because I do not need to backup the small directories here and there that apps automatically create (i have Titanium backup for apps & their data). While I can use the file size filter to make sure 1-2gb movies are not synced, there is no way (at least that I know of) to easily eliminate some of these smaller directories that are just causing clutter in my dropbox. I would like cloudpipes to work strictly for the data I have on my storage that I need.
Lastly I would like to see the current status of the transfer, eta at current speed, current transfer rate, all from the transfers tab of the app. I know there is a percent bar in the notification window, but I would like to see more info in app.
Otherwise awesome app... absolutely loving it and really stable, zero crashes. Would gladly pay for a PRO version!!!
edit: One small bug I just noticed. Well not really a bug but more a necessary feature improvement is the ability to refresh your main dropbox directory. I changed the name of my backup folder from "test" to something more appropriate and it seems the main window is not refreshing the dropbox and loading the new folder name.

Revision checking is coming. Its a bit more complicated that I initially thought so it will be a major update, however it will be very useful to conserving bandwidth.
Regarding exclusion, I will have to think how this will work. While the back-end implementation should not be hard, I dont know how I will ask the user to exclude folders in the UI and then store them. Nevertheless I have added it to my things to do (and it is growing!!!)
Regarding more information in the transfers tab, this is a definitely planned feature. It is quite bland and devoid of useful info right now and I plan to add many things to it. Again, this is a little far behind on my todo list as essential functionality is added first.
Finally, this bug/improvement, this is a tough one. Since you renamed it from the website or desktop app those changes are not propagate to the app until you hit refresh on that particular folder. The Dropbox API does not support to notify the app of the change and also frowns upon repeated (automated) refreshes. I could set a time-out after which to refresh the file structure, but still that will not propagate the change immediately. I dont see a better solution for this apart from the user refreshing that folder as they know they have changed it. However it seems that the official dropbox app detects this change immediately so they are polling again for the change hmmm...

Regarding this point, your update that you just pushed looks like it now includes a menu and a refresh button when viewing the dropbox. Maybe i am just dumb and missed it before. But I see it now and it fixes this!! Thanks if you did in fact add it!!

It was always there You might have missed it. Note that the menu contents and the button in the action bar change depending on which tab(Pipes/Dropbox/Transfers) you are on.
Sorry for taking so long on this update, but I wanted to make sure everything was working okay.
I have released a major update, it will take a couple of hours to ripple through the Play store.
This now includes revision checking, so only files that have been modified locally or remotely are re-transfered. If the app does not detect any change in the files then it will not be transfered.
Also just in case the Settings menu now has a trouble shooting section, with an option to 'Clear sync data'. If the app starts to mess up the transfers then you can use this option to reset the sync data, so it will start afresh.
This time I have focused quite a lot on testing, and tried to remove all weird and obscure bugs. There were many reports of the files not being accessible, probably because either the sdcard was unmounted, connected to USB or wasnt ready at boot. I tried to fix more of these cases.
There were also some minor UI tweaks here and there.
The OneWaySync option is not yet enabled. I have to do some more work on it, but should not be long.

Introducing the world’s first mobile security app that can survive a wipe / hard-reset!
(From the makers of OVERVI3W and Phone Creeper)
There are many security tools available out there that come with a variety of tools for helping you keep your phone safe, but usually when a phone is stolen the first thing that is done by the thief is removing your SIM card and wiping the phone. Many of the products out there will still help you track your phone if the SIM card is removed, but Root Defense will continue to work after the phone has been wiped. Better yet is that this feature is completely free and the application can only be uninstalled through our website.
Root Defense is also completely hidden, with no user interface or icons and is not listed in the installed apps list. All controls are handled through the web.
Updates are also automatically applied silently in the background so that all users are always up to date on the latest features.
Why would anyone choose anything else?
Root Defense stands out as the most advanced security, tracking and logging commercial mobile application ever created and this is just the beginning.
Root Defense Free – comes with the following features: (FREE)
A free two week trial of Root Defense Pro
Silently and automatically install updates in the background
Silent remote uninstall
Force GPS on / off
Survives wipes / hard-reset and is embedded directly into the OS of your phone for ultimate security
Only shows up in running tasks under “all” and is listed as “security” with the default android system icon.
No interface or application icons on the phone (Truly hidden)
Tracks the LAST phone location on map with timestamp and battery life.
Remotely wipe ALL data including memory cards for ultimate protection (Ensure your data is not compromised.)
Offline data capture will hold and transmit data captured when no internet access is available.
Sound alarm
Turn on ringer (Great if you can find your phone and the ringer is off.)
Uses very little processor and battery
Root Defense Pro – Includes all features listed above plus the following: ($3.99 / Month)
Can be installed on up to 5 phones with no additional cost!
All phones can be managed through the same web account.
Captures call, MMS, SMS, browser history, location, internet favorites and contacts
Tracks phone locations and path over time on a map along with timestamps and battery life
Create lists of allowed or disallowed contacts (great for kids you want only calling home or 911)
Export your logs from the website to your computer.
Silently listen in to phone (If phone is stolen, this might help you identify who has it.)
Sends messages to phone. (Send your kids a message directly to their screen without using SMS)
Allows remotely sending of SMS messages from phone.
Redirect incoming or outgoing calls from select contacts to a different phone.
ROOT DEFENSE REQUIRES A ROOTED ANDROID PHONE FOR INSTALLATION!
REMEMBER, ROOT DEFENSE HAS NO INTERFACE SO USE THE CREDENTIALS CREATED DURING INSTALL TO LOG IN TO WWW.UNFAIRWARE.COM TO VIEW AND CONTROL YOUR PHONES!
AND PLEASE, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST UNINSTALL FROM OUR WEBSITE FOR FULL PROTECTION
CAN BE DOWNLOADED DIRECTLY FROM OUR SITE HERE
Change Log:
V5 has been released!
* Geo-fencing has been added so now you can define regions on a map and set rules to alert you as to if the phone entered or left those regions during stated days and times.
Keep in mind that this feature is still beta. Try to give extra ~30 feet extra room just to be sure you don't get false positives. This will do a check on every GPS check-in time to see if you have entered or left defined areas. So accuracy is only going to be as accurate as check-in time periods. In general I recommend people don't ever alter the default 15 minutes however.
* The issues with the block lists have been fixed up. You can add a block for any number 4 digits or greater and it will be found if the transmission ends with those four digits. Example: if your block is 4567 then the phone number 555-123-4567 would be found. so would 34567,234567,123457,...,5551234567
* The GPS module has been rewritten and is MUCH more efficient and accurate at the same time.
* The "Secret communications" option didn't make it into this release because of time constraints, but will be available in the next release. Time-estimates will be posted when available.
Older changes have been removed to keep post length reasonable.
Reserved - just in case
Look very useful!thanks for sharing.
Now available on the Android Market:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unfairware.rootdefense
Brand new version just released, supports most devices including tablets now.
Version 3.0 has been released with support for many new devices.
hmm and how is this different than cerebus. Thats not a dig at your program that is just an honest question. Because I was thinking of using that product.

Yeah, Cerberus was a program created after ours that has many of the same features. Even including the 5 licenses for the price of one.
Root Defense comes with many many more features though and no user interface on the phone.
Basically its still free but with more features and a stealthier install.
Also ours shows the existing data of logs and location from before a phone went missing so you aren't in the dark when your device is off.
If you go to both sites and look at the feature set differences, they are actually quite drastically different and both are free for all security features.
I would agree that your app does more than Cerberus but your app is not the only one that will survive a system reset. Cerberus and others I suspect can also embed themself in the rom thus being able to survive a system reset. I have been using Cerberus for a long time so I am not sure if yours was released before Cerberus, as you indicated in a previous statement.

I would agree that your app does more than Cerberus but your app is not the only one that will survive a system reset. Cerberus and others I suspect can also embed themself in the rom thus being able to survive a system reset. I have been using Cerberus for a long time so I am not sure if yours was released before Cerberus, as you indicated in a previous statement.

Yes, that's true. It was an honest mistake that i never updated the original PR release posting on the front that was originally added when we were were the "Only" ones. You can only keep that title for a short while on anything good.
And yes we have been offering it longer. This feature started with certain stands of our OVERVI3W product and then we stripped them into two completely different products and rebuilt Root Defense from scratch to offer more methods than OVERVI3W.
Cerberus has had a suspiciously similar structure and sales model to ours. Not that it matters, I'm sure they are also a great product however if you simply lost your phone and the battery is dead than Cerberus wouldn't even be able to help you find it. Anyway, I've also removed the word "only" on the first post. Thanks for your keen eye.

How would any app find a lost phone that had a dead battery ? Cerberus, lookout, AVG etc. are able to help you track your phone (lost or stolen) and some (like Cerberus) will play a sound, say a message using TTS, sound an alarm or make the phone ring. Granted, the phone needs to actually be turned on and have a charge in it's battery, but then this is a limitation of any other tracking app.
I will admit, one thing I really like from Cerberus is its pricing model, with a one off cost for life. Yes, I realise that does not 'guarantee' updates, but then nothing does, really...
Sorry to have inadvertently 'hijacked' your thread I'm definitely going to give your product a try. Do you have a corporate pricing model you could share? My company may be replacing all of their Blackberry devices with Android ones so something like this will be great to allow management of these devices.

Is your phone rooted? and if so does it have su installed? You must at least have to be rooted and have su before it lets you continue.
If you do have both, it sounds like you have superuser set to automatically decline root privileges.
You can try the following, go to your program, open superuser and click the wrench in the upper-right corner, click security, click automatic response and then make sure it DOESN'T say Deny. If it's set for Prompt, you can try setting it to Allow to see if that fixes your problem as I've read that running CM10 on some model phones (like my Epic 4g touch) have a bug that causes the prompt feature not to always run.
If that's the case then switching it to Accept will fix that.
Well, I was able to complete the install, but I decided to uninstall for two reasons:
1) Lookout said it was a risk. I guess I know why.
2) It asked for SU access from several different modules (aupdate and security). This seemed odd to me. Is it what we should see?
You should know that the uninstall did not go well, either. I had to uninstall via Titanium to get it fully off my phone.
I'm willing to try it again if you could help clarify the multiple SU requests.
Thanks,
Eph
That is normal, the Root Defense app you download from the market or website is actually just an installer.
It configures and embeds the actual application "Security" into the OS and embeds a separate program "Aupdates" which allows for the silent remote uninstalls and updates without having to go through the market.
You can't uninstall Root Defense in any normal fashion because that's the whole point of a more secure application.
To uninstall properly, you're supposed to log in to the website and click the "uninstall" button in the lower right hand corner of the command tab.
The are all very deliberate and specifically designed to make the program as invisible as possible and as hard to remove as possible for anyone who tries to steal your device.
As far as lookout mobile goes, I believe it probably warns on any app accessing log files. I can only guess without knowing how there program works.

Does Root Defense survive a ROM reflash? I'm looking for an undeletable theft protection. All ideas are very much welcome and appreciated.

Unfortunately no, no current solutions offer this. This will survive a wipe or hard-reset but not flashing a new ROM.
Unless better protection is added via hardware or chipsets embedded in devices, this probably won't be a reality. With a rooted device you have full access to ALL aspects of the OS, partitions, everything. And to many that is the point of rooting.
For now, the best we can do is make it as difficult a process as possible to reduce your chances of loosing connection.
Version 3.1 released!
Change log includes:
* Fix for calls not being recorded bug
* Fix for auto-update can cause auto-uninstall of itself.
* Fix for phones not attaching after install
To ensure your auto-updater is working probably and you weren't affected by the auto-uninstall of program from update bug, please download the latest version from our first post or directly from the market.

I was not very satisfied with the location my camera application provides for geotagging, so I wrote a little application to automatically geotag photos right after they are taken using a real-time acquired location.
My camera application (stock camera Nexus 5) seems to use the last known location, which could be quite old and miles away from my current location.
FineGeotag will try to acquire an accurate location in real-time and update the Exif location tags of the photos taken.
FineGeotag will try to use the GPS and/or the network location, depending on which location providers are enabled in the Android settings.
Optionally a popup will be shown with a thumbnail of the photo and the reverse geocoded address.
You could use PhotoMap or similar to display geotagged photos on a map.

The default GPS setting seems to work fine outdoors. It pops up the location as 'number Street, city' . When looking at image details I see 'city, street, number' which seems like the default from the camera which is disabled. In other words, the popup would show "123 Main St, New York" but in Quickpic I see "New York, Main St, 123"
Indoors I don't get a popup (no GPS?). There is seemingly no auto switching to different sources of location or I couldn't get it to work.
If I switch to network I cannot switch back to GPS.
I will be traveling over the weekend and will have only limited time to experiment. Next week I'll look at the data on a PC to see if it shows differently.

Be sure to update to version 1.8 for the best results.

I have rewritten the location logic to automatically select the best location depending on the available location providers and the set preferences. This means both GPS and network locations will be requested now and that there is an algorithm in place to select the most appropriate location. This probably means selecting a network location indoors and selecting a GPS location outdoors.
Note that network locations have no altitude information, so if you have enabled the option to prefer altitude information, GPS locations will be used when available, even if a network location happens to be more accurate.
The reverse geocoded address is only shown and not stored into the photo, meaning that different applications may show different addresses depending on the geocoder being used (most applications will use the Google geocoder) and if the same geocoder is being used, the address may be formatted in a different way.
The just released version 1.7 fixes a bug appearing when no location providers are enabled.
You are way too fast. I see you just put up 1.8... And the play store still only shows me 1.4!

I can't help it Google is so slow
There is now even a newer version which will allow you to select the maximum age of the last known location.

Grab a beer, that'll make Google faster!
I'm still on 1.4 so this may have changed.
I have absolutely no cell signal here, not a single bar or dot (just a warning triangle). I am also indoors so there is no GPS signal either. I am, however, connected to the local wifi.
I snapped a couple of pictures and thought things weren't working. The fallback to network location took a long time - 47 seconds - before I got the popup. The recorded address was off quite a bit (I understand this is not your code) showing the number 139 despite the house number here being 1.
This is less significant when shooting indoors but could get interesting if taking pictures from a rapidly moving car.
I will grab the new version as time permits and keep you posted.

* Never look up when the dragon flies overhead...
I was just wondering if it is possible to have this app deactivate itself until the camera app is launched..
Both, the GPS and battery usage are very high due to this app. It has recorded nearly 4 hours of heavy go's & battery use since I used it to snap a couple of pictures around 16:15 my time and it us now 22:05... As you can see the resource usage is pretty much continuous since first used but I have not taken any other pictures or loaded camera.

The network location can take some time to be acquired, 47 seconds is normal, and it is also not very accurate, it can be miles away from where you are, since the nearest GSM cell tower location might be used.

The idea is that the GPS is turned on after taking a photo and to be on for the maximum timeout time (default 60 seconds).
If the GPS stays on, it is a bug. Which version are you using?
I have just released stable version 1.11.
It is basically the same as version 1.10, with updated English texts and a new Dutch translation.
I have extensively tested this version and all main features I had planned are implemented.
Please let me know if you experience any problem, preferably accompanied with a logcat (see below), or if you have suggestions for improvements.
Code:
adb logcat | grep -i finegeotag > log.txt
Ok, I've just had 2 days of running around with the family - taking plenty of photos along the way. All day Saturday I had 1.4 installed, and 1.8 today.
In short - I didn't notice any issues with FineGeoTag. It pretty much behaved as I expected without sitting down trying everything and trying everything in all ways.
The only photos I took that didn't get get tagged were on 1.8 when we were inside a large building having lunch where no gps fix could be had (9 year olds trying chicken feet is funny by the way).
I usually have location services turned off unless I need them... So I had tasker turn them on when my camera was launched. I also don't have data on by default - so I never got the pop up with the actual address (apart from a few I took at home with WiFi on).

Thanks for your feedback.
There should be no need for trying things, the intention is to set and forget.
The latest version will automatically select appropriate location providers, based on which are enabled in the Android location settings and select the best location based on your preferences, so you will have a location indoors too (assuming you are allowing at least network locations). There is also a fallback to the last known location in case no location could be acquired and you can select the maximum allowed age of the last know location. So, the only situation there is no location is when all location providers are disabled and the last known location is older than allowed. This all is much better than what most camera applications do, which is mostly just getting the last known location, whatever the age, and sometimes just the first location reported, which could be quite inaccurate.
Without internet there will be no address, but there should be a popup with a thumbnail and the text "Geotagged".

Only if it is exposed in a public API (location provider), which seems not to be the case. Wi-Fi locations are Google proprietary stuff.

I think that was 1.4.. Long ago and far away..
I actually used Tasker to turn on GPS when camera is launched and off when exited. I will play more with newest version..
EDIT: I just saw you pushed a stable version. Will try it soon.
