About Remote control via SMS
Remote control via SMS allows you to remotely control your smartphone. It's aimed to help you find your lost phone, or localize him if stolen.
- Enable WiFi
- Enable data (2G,3G,4G) (only < Android Lollipop 5.0)
- Emit an alarm sound
- Receive your phone's location via SMS
- Send an emergency SMS
The only way to enable these functionnalities is via SMS. You can choose keywords for enabling features.
For instance, if someone has stolen your phone, you can easily know where it is by sending "gps" to your phone (from a friend's phone for example).
Another example: do you often lose your phone in your biiiig house? Don't worry, just send "beep" to your phone (thanks to your mother's phone) and let yourself be guided by the alarm emitted by your phone.

The app can be easily circumvented. You could either 1) make it device administrator 2) hide app icon from drawer/menu. Edit: activating mobile data doesn't work.
