About this app

Hello is an app that will help you locate a device simply by sending it an SMS message.
Unlike many apps out there, it does not require a data connection to find the current location of the device. Simply send it a text message from the device set as the secure device and the secure device will receive a reply with the location information.

Use the google play store to install,or download the APK form the link below and then either side load or use ADB to push it to the system folder (advanced users).

Then after installation send the device an SMS message from a different device or from google voice with the message body "big brother".

After the SMS is received the device will
-use location services to determine it's location
-save the number as the secure device or master device
-transmit settings to be stored on the internet
-be ready to receive commands

Commands it accepts from the secure device:

Big Brother: Sets master device using its phone number

Where are you: Send an SMS to the master device with it's current location

Secure Save: saves all settings to the internet so the can be automatically restored if upon the next data connection if the device is data wiped or system reset

Locked Out: Locks the device, (shows a persistent screen on the device that requires a pin entry before the user can use the device with out interruption)

Unlock: Unlocks device remotely, disabling security features. This will allow a different device to take ownership of secure device settings.

GeoFence on: Set a 100 meter perimeter according to the device current location determined by location services.

GeoFence off: Turns off the geo fence feature

setas=: Allows the user of the secure device to change the command triggers that trigger commands. Example: If you want to use a custom to emulate the where are you command you would send an SMS from the secure device with the message body

setas=Where are you=Whats up
The next time the device receives an SMS with the message body equal to Whats Up, it will send the secure device an SMS with location information.

There is a HELP button on the lock screen that will describe all the commands in greater detail as well as current device lock and geofence status.

If you are an advanced user you can use a log cat viewer and watch everything in action by filtering Log tag "Hello"

When your DEVICE is LOCKED it displays a NAGGING screen that is hard to escape from requiring the user to enter a pin number. This screen is persistent and even if backed out of it just pops back up.

So give it a try, install by side loading like normal to test it. If you like please leave a positive comment below and install as a system app to better secure your device.
