  Open Device Manager, or ODM, is a fully free, open source, end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google's Android Device Manager that can be installed in right around 10 seconds. Building on the look and feel of the original ADM, ODM focuses on supporting additional features while giving users the security and privacy of a self-hosted, open source platform.
  
  ODM was created because of the lack of fully open source and secure device managers on the market. While there are solutions that offer open source web components, the Android Applications are not, and are known to use Google Analytics or ad networks that pull information such as IP address, all of which eliminate 100% privacy. ODM overcomes this by offering everything up for grabs on github. We will also be submitting the github repository to F-Droid, an alternative App Store that compiles open source applications directly from github, so you know you're getting a safe APK.
  
  Features include:
  
  • Open source web interface
  • Open source Android Application
  • All notifications/commands sent through Google are encrypted first
  • Full AJAX interface
  • 10 second server install
  • Multi-user support
  • Multi-device per user support
  • Last and previous locations
  • Google maps integration
  • Lock device
  • Take photos with rear and front cameras
  • Alert ringer to locate the phone
  • Receive an SMS to identify insertion of new SIM
  • Send a custom notification
  • Wipe device
  • Log of all previous activity

You can add an option to the web script to auto update itself and to host the apk so when an device running a old version of the apk, the newer version can be sideloaded to it and updated. And also it would be a good idea to get the sensor data like (accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor) to get a better idee where the device is. And an option to listen to the mic, if it is possible.
