Yes, it does if you want it to, you have to check this option in configuration step

They can work together without any problems, as far as I know there is an app called rs that can lock your phone with sms, but if there is a requst for having it in my app, I can add it today. Is there?

Definitely! Having it all in one app would make it easier. Cheers!

First thing i was thinking when i red about this app was that i would not use the security lock any more.
If the phone gets stolen, i would like the one who stole it to use it. Then i'm mor likely to get gps position.
If he can't get aroud the security lock, he would rather turn it of and the phone is lost.
When someone flashes it again, it would be to late..

this application looks great!! really nice work!

another feature is avoid removal from app manager and automatic reinstallation after format(like for symbian app Guardian) ;)

Do you have plans to release it to extras-devel?
The problem with the 1.2 SDK should be solved...

I am afraid I cannot do that, it will not be accepted by testers :D Every installed application from repositories must have the option of uninstalling it... and my goal is to have it in repositories, so everyone can use it, even not experienced user, that have no idea how to instal gstreamer-tools themselves.

But..., I have a version (not published yet for above reasons), that does not show itself in "Uninstall" part of application manager and does not allow you to remove it with dpkg :D I will upload this version later to the garage, tonight or tomorrow night

It is a Qt based application, I heard of many problems latest days, so I will wait with it for a little while.

Besides, I want to make few additions to the app, before uploading it to devel repository.

Hi Rachol,

Excellent ideas, execution and it works - got a couple of mails with my ugly face already!

Some proposals for you to consider.

- make sending SMS and mail seperate options. e.g. i want to set it up to send mails but not SMS. I haven't configured a number so now i see a message popping up saying "SMS has failed to be delivered to " or similar.

- explain better what is the password and when the user sets it.

- make an option to use a different email provider.

Thank you again.
