No... It cannot activate the app, cause the autolock is started before anything else boots....
However, there is RS("Remote security") application, which allows you to set the lock/unlock code and activate/deactivate it with SMS
You can have both of them installed and it is up to you which application you prefer to use. Notice, that those application can both run in the background.
I thought the RS application had been removed? I can't locate it anywhere and yes, I have Extras-devel enabled.

Hi,
don't install 0.3.1
It does not work!! crashes!!
therefore to uninstall it you might have to reboot your device, activate config window, check option for uninstalling and then you will be able to uninstall.
I am working on a fix now, but sadly i conquer a lot of problems, so it might take me some more time. Basically a method call from location library makes the application crash.... Exactly same code has worked before, that I haven't touched for month, now crashes.
Once again. DON'T install 0.3.1. If you want to try stable version, please try 0.3 from the project page.

I believe the N900 back cover has a magnet on it that allows for the device OS to know when the back cover is on or off, right?
Could you incorporate a feature that would send out an SOS when the back cover is removed(assuming the device is on, of course - and works with the security lock?), using a brute force, no holds barred method within x seconds, where x can be set by the user?
I think this sort of feature could be very useful, and we all know the battery has to be pulled first before the SIM can. So if the device is on and locked with a security code, a thief may want to pull the battery so the device can't be tracked, if they are smart enough to realize that possibility. If your device is unlocked, they are more likely to play with it first hopefully, but a locked device has no immediate return value for a thief and they will may want to power it down.
I reason there would be about four to six seconds once the cover is removed until the battery is pulled, if a thief is stationary and taking care not to damage the device, not rushing basically.
First they look for how the back cover is removed, find the notch and give it that tentative yank we all did when we first got our device. IF the OS registers the cover off here, with it slightly ajar, I would say the time til battery is pulled could be five to seven seconds. The thief finally fully removes the cover and puts it down. Not drops, not throws in a hurry, but puts it down.
Second, the thief takes a moment or two locating the battery and the proper end to pull it from. If they have long enough nails, they can do it easily with just their fingers. If not, do they have a tool handy or do they have to fumble for the stylus(if they know about it) or grab the cover to use one of its corners?
My only concern is I am not sure if the device or your app can notice the cover removal when it is locked?? If they both can, it's probably easier to implement this than trying to figure out exactly what to send in basically < 5 seconds...

rachol, тhanks for the app anyway! Once it's all debugged, I'm sure it's a must on my device.
Meanwhile...any idea how to activate config window? Tried sms with "config" but no luck((

Hi. I want to delete configuration file and then start configuring app over again. However I cannot find /ETC/OMAPCAM/CM4397.ENC. Even when I try to find it in lowercase. I'm using PR 1.2 and installed imhere from repositories (I guess extra-devel).
I also tried strace -e run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/imhere-0.3 to find out what files are being accessed. But I didn't found any file access.
Also is it really neccessary to restart phone after delete configuration file? Doesn't
same job?
Edit: Instruction to uninstall (I've found be extracting deb file and analyzing prerm file)
and application isremoved.

So I issued: touch /etc/init.d/imhere-0.3.uninstall and then apt-get remove --purge imhere-0.3 and application was removed.
For a non-specialist: do I just put in xterm "apt-get remove --purge imhere-0.3 " to remove it? (don't have the piece with me to check it out right now)

After a couple of reboots I managed to uninstall it, however. Directly after reboot, before sending any sms's. Might be worth it to give it another try.
Good luck.
