Does it have a password for settings protection?

It does not. Is this something people are interested in? What's the intended use case?

Of course it's important if a tablet is being used by a parent & his kids! or other scenarios.
Looks simplistic, needs evaluation but I find it easy to configure as compared to much cluttered interface ofnetguard app which I use. Plz provide promo code. thanks in advance.

I see. However, there's nothing stopping them from uninstalling the app, or clearing its data, or disabling the VPN permission, or many other ways to bypass such a password if they really wanted.

yeah thanks! exactly what i was looking for.
with that app you have to add your friends manually. It can't read your XBL account and pull your friends from the list.
search for gsDroid in the Market. i use that. Sign in with your windows ID so no need to add all your friends

This is a great app, but does not work if your friends have privacy settings enabled.

No, you can't send messages through it. It does still work if your friends have privacy settings enabled. gsDroid is by far the best Xbox live app imo.
don't get gsDroid
I have to say gsDroid may work really well and all but I wouldn't get it! You have to give them your Microsoft sign in information which violates x box rules for a good reason. That person would have access to your account and possible credit card info. No matter how much you may like the app we really don't know the developer and this could be an opportunity for that person to get your info and scam people.
Autowipe is back!
Greetings all,
As most of you probably know, Froyo (2.2) includes new phone wiping abilities. I've been working on an app to take advantage of this new feature and I'm excited to let others see it.
Unfortunately for me, I do not have a Froyo Phone! I am looking for some of you very nice people with N1s or Droids that have 2.2 installed to help me out with testing, as the Emulator can only go so far. Most importantly, I'm interested in seeing if the "Subscriber Id changed" action works when removing/changing SIM cards.
Quick description: Android 2.2 (Froyo)+ includes a new administrator feature. The administrator must be enabled by the user before it can perform its actions. This application focuses on the memory wipe feature of the administrator. If your device gets lost or stolen you can set up this application to automatically wipe the memory in the following conditions: failed passwords to unlock screen, SMS password received, subscriber ID changed (SIM card).
Screenshots and APK attached below.
Thank you very much!
Update 05 March 2011:
* Integrated a Test Mode into the app.
Don't mean to be a downer or anything but isn't this what Mobile Defense and WaveSecure do already?

I don't think that those two programs are updated to work with the admin froyo settings, it's actually what is trying to accomplish.

You can at least set WaveSecure as admin, don't know about Mobile Defense. But still, keep up the work!
i really like this app bro. So when you say wipe, does it restore factory settings? or does it literally wipe everything so that u have to restore via adb or something?
Indeed, my intention is to release it as a free app on the Market to all locations.

Thanks for the compliments. According to the documentation it never specifically says "factory reset" but I'd guess that is what it is doing: Ask the user data be wiped. This will cause the device to reboot, erasing all user data while next booting up.

now that would be nice.... both phone and SD at that. That way if you get someone smart enough to track down how to bring up the bootloader and restoral menus, they won't have anything to work from....
Any update in this project? its really promising. A free alternative to only payed remote wiping software on market.
Keep up the good work bro.
This is an excellent alternative, eh?
Can you please give us a version with "SIM"?
Thanks.

Hello all, sorry I was away for a bit there. Good news, I've just posted a release to the Android Market. I will update the original post shortly.
Search for Autowipe on the market if you can. Feedback would be great! (This version WIPES, it's armed!)
Good work!
Please hide the sms password with ***, add a cursor and perhaps a confirmation with "password set" or something like this.
And most important a test mode would be great. No idea how to test it without wiping hehe

Thanks. I'll add those too, good ideas. I was thinking if you forgot your password you could check back and see it but I suppose you could just delete the asterisks and make a new one.
Thanks again!

You're welcome. When you need your password and forgot it, it's probably too late anyway hehe
I've posted an update with some of the changes requested. The test mode is a taller order so I haven't been able to do that yet.

From the 2.2 Highlights:
Device policy manager
New device policy management APIs allow developers to write "device administrator" applications that can control security features on the device, such as the minimum password strength, data wipe, and so on. Users can select the administrators that are enabled on their devices.

Pretty exciting!
As usual I still don't have an actual 2.2 device so please let me know if I did anything silly, like forget to let you enable the app or something
love it.......
ty for ur hard work
Thank you for contributing, one request. Sdcard wipe too...if someone is smart enough they can restore my phone with a nandroid after it's wiped....if it's a smart thief that is
Sorry if I'm suspicious about all this but with would you need network access for your app?
I reallly liked the idea and the implementation.
Please tell me what you think, any feedbacks appreciated and I'll let the developer know about it.

You might get more hits if you post a description of the app, changelog for new versions, screenshots. Stuff like that. Can't just post a link without even saying the name of the app and expect people to download it.
why does it needs

fine (GPS) location
full Internet access

Hi All,
Microsoft is launched an application called on{X}.
This application is like tasker but it can do much more for novice users as it worked on Javascript and You will get the javascript code from any website so easily.
Installation Link
Type in google play : on{X}
Video Link
Type this on you Tube : on{X} - automate your life
Sorry for the links, as I'm not eligible to paste outside links in this forum.
Please comment and make me eligible

I would assume that with a larger user base (android), it'll give a nice boost to on{X}'s "recipes" which is always a great thing as it will serve as references to other platforms running on{x} in near future
Yield is everything when it comes to such approach (on{X})
Can someone tell me the huge different to tasker oder automateit? It looks like that its the same with programming instead of klicking?
There is just one thing I don't like on this app:
Facebook login and using my private data
Why such app need to do this, and why can't I use other login possibilities?(windows live, google etc?)

you cannot do as much with one ex as with tasker. also you need to do the recepies on your pc and then push to your phone and as retsam88 said, you have to log in via facebook. so, tasker is the better solution for me.

Lol, Gmail is free but you don't see us asking that But seriously, there's nothing wrong with them increasing their userbase. Thats why you see Google apps on iPhone.
Hi!
To help someone in my family, i need to disable access to Internet for specific apps. For example, access to WhatsApp but not to any web browser (or only for selected websites).
This person had an iPhone before and this was very easy to do on it
I already tested Open Time Limit but this seems to be too much easy to disable.
Do you know any app (working rootless if possible) or any custom rom that would allow that?
EDIT: And if the app is open source, thats even better!
A huge thank if you can help me
You can use ScreenTime.
There you can also set Timers.
and you can Block permanently apps like Settings.

Heimdall looks interesting! Not open source but not using Internet (so i will be able to disable Internet access in the options) so it looks interesting
About Gapps, he wants his phone to run without Google so no gapps (would be too easy )
okay let me know if this works
not ready yet, but soon there will be an open source alternative, keep an eye on its release:
ActivityWatch - Apps on Google Play
Track how you spend your time on your devices.

Opensource apps could be found at some repositories
You can also use netguard thats free on fdroid and block internet access to specific applications while letting the others work.
