IIWPO is a FREE (xda-developers) app that wakes up and sends an SMS if anyone changes the owner info. So, if ur device is stolen, you get an SMS as soon as a new SIM is installed and the owner info is changed. From that SMS, you can start to call and hunt down the thief.

Typically IIWPO is installed in an unlocked ROM. We can't do that on the JJ, BUT we do have persistent storage, so we can put it in our startup folder and only a savvy PPC user will know to remove it (most thieves are not going to be savvy - or at least not before you've been informed of their new details!).

Can someone please provide a version that works on the JasJar, along with brief instructions on how best to set it up. For a device of this value, this will be MUCH appreciated! In fact, it DEMANDS a donation to xda-developers (crediting IIWPO)...

[Edit] The currently available version works! I'm making my donation right now. See :arrow:

By installing the app, what it does is:
when inserting a different sim than the one I specified,
it sends me (Specified sim / phone number) an SMS
with the new (Thief) phone number?

if so - does it also work on normal phones IE - nokia?
or only PPC phone ?

10x in advance,

It's written for XDA devices - Nokia is a totally different OS.
Of course if a thief steals YOUR PPC, then that's what is going to send the SMS - no worries.

Remember we have no extention now....so a simply hard-reset will erase the program , but i think it can be be proctected , because the same thing happens to the boot screen , its never erased after hardreset ...so we have a chance...and secondly when u install the program remember not to activate the lock ( screen) bucuz then the theive cant change the owner info..

Thx
