Re: [Development] anti-theft

 

Hello Daniel, thats the idea i was thinking of. I will be happy to help.

Also i support the idea of pre installed app or merge into the main code of
OS to be available by default and unable to uninstall or disable it. What
its your approach to sync location and account data?
