I'm trying to select the best anti-theft app for my new Galaxy Nexus. I have evaluated several. My requirements are:
As an aside, GotYa does not require a server; it is totally standalone which is nice from a reliability and privacy standpoint. I like not having to depend on a 3rd party server. Another interesting feature is the ability to set minimum gps accuracy with a timeout. I set it to 7 meters with a 60 second timeout. I would like to hear about other apps that follow a similar functionality.

- Accepts commands via SMS
- Issues reports via email with picture and location
- Senses number of failed logins
- Issues emails on every failed login after x failed logins
- Clears lock screen after y failed logins
- Issues emails when screen opened once lock screen cleared
- Issue email with new phone number if SIM card is swapped
