Catch the hacker with photo.

[Djoudi]

if your phone is locked and someone tries to input a bad code the phone will capture his photo using the front camera and save it in to your sd card, and informe you that someone was trying to hack your phone and failed, and you can see who.

Nice, except that this 'Login failed' trigger is incompatible with an App Locking application, which in my case is Perfect App Protector*. As I have no problem with anyone having a look at my Android Device unless it involves my personal information, which are always locked/protected apps.

* - Using this instead of AppLock, as AppLock seems to only be able to lock each individual application. If the user can open one app, then there is no point asking for authentication to open any other app.

It's a really useful implementation, I have the same one but done by Lookout.

It takes a picture and sends an e-mail to you with the picture of the person, location of the device and when it happened. It's all possible with Automagic too

I have made my own version of this. If someone enters the wrong pin twice, two front facing photos (taken at separate times) and a back facing photo are taken and sent to the desired email account. Mine is setup to mail from my device's account. As well, the volume gets cranked up to max and the phone announces "Intruder alert! This phone had been stolen!" then volume returns to normal.

Can't seem to post the flow from the app, will post it in a minute.

Edit : it also adds the address location and gps coordinates to the email.

Thanks for sharing. Really nice idea!

Just GPS takes sooo long. Even sometimes it fails! NO idea why it takes so long ...

How can I switch to network location when GPS fails? Possible to code that?
