Help Phone Finder App?

[dr. jing]

I recall a phone finder application that removes itself from the phone apps line-up once activated, to make it possible to find your phone in case it's stolen but not make it easy for the thief to disable the app. I can't seem to find anything that fits that description, now. I have Where's My Droid, but that can be deleted if some dirtbag jacks my phone. Any suggestions?

Cerberus will do this but you have to change the setting to remove it from your app list. It's not automatically removed.

Thanks, jamesdean! I'll give it a look.

No problem. Seekdroid will also do it but their recent update has had many reported problems with communication and I experienced it as well. Cerberus is very reliable, more features and better priced if you're covering more than one device.
