yes it is true. BUT (IMO) the majority of people that would steal a device arnt smart enough to use odin or factory reset it RIGHT AWAY... best thing to remember that time is against you!

 

i posted a nice bit, but ill repost over here cuz i like ya enough ;P

 

If you are rooted, there are apps that can't be touched by a factory reset, and they have no hints they are installed

 

sort of, any app you install form teh market can be wiped out afaik..

https://www.cerberusapp.com/download/cerberus_disguised-ICS.zip download and flash in recovery

this runs and claims its a android os process. it gets installed to system so a factory reset wont kill it. they give youa week trial after that its 2 dolalrs for LIFETIME support on 5 devices at a time.

make sure to have teh website hide teh app so no one can find it i am anal about security so i have all the root options enabled .

 

Thanks shabby, I was looking for something like this. :thumbup:

 

I prefer theftaware myself. Its now part of avast but I just uninstall the antivirus portion of Tue app, leaving theftaware in place.
