As stated. I am using anti theft software that forces my phone to switch on wifi and GPS but as soon as it does I get that message telling me something is using my GPS etc. This looks suspicious to a potential thief in my opinion so I want to know if there was anyway at all I could remove or disable this pop up

Well. I have found out that Cerberus somehow disables this message shortly after it is displayed. However I prefer to use PhoneLocator Pro and that is the problem app for me. I contacted the developer and this is the reply
Hello !
This issue is because of your custom ROM you are running.
This is not happening in all the ROM's and you should ask developers of this rom how this issue can be fixed - maybe there is a way to disable this.
I will document myself on this, but I don't know if this can be fixed - even if you are saying that Cerberus doesn't have this behavior . Cereberus might be using a hack to turn on the GPS, a hack which I don't want to use cause Google is watching and these things can ban your app from the Play store.
Switch to Avast.
You can remotely lock the phone, sound an alarm, send text, forward calls, forward text, wipe phone info, gps track etc.... all through text commands. You also have the added benefit of anti-virus and firewall protection.
Best of all..... It's FREE.

I have that installed as well, it isn't as feature rich in comparison to PhoneLocator Pro or Cerberus. Plus I like to use the web based interface rather than SMS

Wock - Wearable Lock
I'm really excited about Android Wear and I can't wait to get the Moto 360.
Instead of waiting I decided to develop this app which gives you the ability to remotely lock your handheld.
If you see someone is grabbing your phone you can stop them from (i.e.) browsing through your phone
gallery by using this app on your watch. Your handheld will lock and a PIN will be set. It is possible to enter your
own pin or you can choose to random generate one.
The generated PIN will be sent to your watch so you'll be the only person knowing the PIN.
Main features:
✔ Custom PINs
✔ Random PINs
✔ Ability to unlock device with watch
Yes. I named it Wock. Because... ehh. ehh. C-catchy?
Play Store: Apparently I can't link to my app since I just made this account. You should look it up yourself. "Wock".
Nice app I installed and try it..
Thank you
Here is the link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=reverb.com.wock
Nice idea thanks will test it out now.

No problem, let me know if it works.
Works pretty good so far, just a small lag until it generates a code otherwise everything seems good. Will have to test it more.
Is it possible to automatically lock the smarphone when connection is lost?
And unlock when BT connection is established?
Thanks a lot for this app!
works well but getting the pin code has some lag in it. rest all cool!
So I found a way to force premium voice to be used during all out going calls, regardless of whether the network speed is adequate or not. While I'm very satisfied with FreedomPOP's service, I do feel like if I'm paying for the 2G cell service for phone calls, I should be able to use it at all times, not only when their app deems it necessary. Because, lets face it, as most of you know the VOIP can be flaky at times. either causing delays in the conversation or just breaking up completely and dropping. I know many people beat this by simply turning off cell data and WiFi. While that solution works, it's a pain in the ass to do that every single time.
This is a very simple hack to make it use the Premium voice service at all times. You will need a permissions editor to complete this task.
I used Advanced Permission Manager.
What you will need to do is open the app in Advanced Permission Manager and select the Messaging App.
1. Open Advanced Permission Manager, click on all All Apps and select freedompops Messaging app.
2. Once it is opened you will see a list of all the permissions that app has on your phone.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. The permission you want to remove is reroute outgoing calls. Simply click on it to remove its access.
4. now select Save & Reinstall. it will compile the New APK without the reroute outgoing calls.
And that's it.
Few things you will need to know.
1. Since the app is not the original from Google Play you will no longer get notifications of when the App has been updated, I normally check it manually from week to week.
2. Every time there is an App update you will need to uninstall, Reinstall the original from Google Play, then follow the steps modifying the app permissions again.
3. Since this does require uninstalling and reinstalling the app, You will lose all text messaging history, each time there is an update.
You are the best!
Does this still work?

I need to undo reroute outgoing calls, and now "save and reinstall" is no longer a choice. Only "close" is a choice and of course it doesn't save anything. Please help.

RecorderThe recorder app built into the Honor 8 is very simple to use. You have REC, Pause and Stop controls. Some recorders have a tendency to over complicate the process by adding too many additional features. The stock recorder here seems to strike a perfect balance.
ThemesCustomize your system down to the very last detail. The easy to use theme engine built into the Honor 8 gives you a bunch of possibilities from custom icons, wallpapers, animations, font styles and more. Mess around with it to create your own theme, or import themes from the Play store.
Phone ManagerThe phone manager is a very clever app that manages all sorts of activities on your phone. It will scan your system and close out of apps to keep your phone running at an optimal speed. You can also manage your harassment filters, white listed apps, pin locked apps, notifications and much more.
I like the steps counter.
The remote control app looks really useful but haven't tried it yet.
So far so good. These are useful apps (Atleast I think they are) Are there any bloatware?

The only "bloat" I found when I received my phone was apps that led to customer support, store page, and other Honor webpages. But these can be easily removed by uninstalling. Other than that there isn't much. There is this included Mirror app which I don't really find useful when I found just use the camera app as a mirror.
The remote control app is wonderful! It has more brands than I can count in an hour (no, I haven't tried). So far I have it set up to both the TV and the sattelite receiver. I think I'll try it on the floor fan next time.
My Pixel 1 running the latest stock ota Pie build (pq3a.190801.002) apparently still has no way to filter unknown callers by default. Seems like this should just be a basic feature built into phones at this point. And I assume newer Pixel models don't have it either, since the software is basically all the same. Since "DND" is just a glorified silent mode, that means every spam call interrupts music (which I normally have going 10-12 hours out of the day). Sheesh. I appreciate my Pixel phone because using it means I don't have to trust yet another phone company with primary communications device. Since I want to maintain a trusted boot environment, my only option seems to be... trusting a third party app to block unknown callers. Now I just have to find one that won't violate my privacy. FML:

I found exactly one app [1] that required purchase, and then found out that it is no longer developed and doesn't work anymore after purchasing it. Cool. I've looked at half a dozen others and they all have invasive "features" such as automatic lookups for everyone that calls me. This guarantees they are sending information about every call I receive back to themselves to process this. Cool.
At this point I'm starting to assume my best option is to give up and buy an old flip phone.

Ooh, thanks for the solution. I've put it on my wishlist to think about it before pulling the trigger to buy it. I get at least one spam call a day. And spam text like every week. I hate it. How's the app doing for you? Still no more spam calls?
The lightspeed system is blocking websites on my Chromebook but now it blocked the terminal as shown below. I was wondering if it is possible to block or remove it while it was added by my school admin. Btw, I'm in 7th grade and I can't download extensions except for the ones the school allows. I've noticed that turning off the internet before logging in stops it from blocking the terminal but I can't download packages. I also noticed that stopping the task in the task manager delays it and if you keep on stopping the task it won't work. Is there a way to stop it from stopping me from using the terminal while using the internet without doing anything with the hardware because my parents wouldn't really like it if I did that, and I know almost nothing about hardware. The system my school uses is the 'Lightspeed Relay Filter.'
If you could help that would be great.

https://64.227.120.231/ put this thingy in the search bar. it cant unblock stuff permanently but it can take you to any website you want, and since its an ID, not an actual link it can't be blocked.
Also, yes, this works. I have lightspeed filters on my school device and I use this all the time.

Doesn't let me, because my school blocks any unknown websites, I believe it is considered a website as it blocks terminal because it is considered unknown too, which is also an app, not a link. Lightspeed systems is ruthless, I've found the best way so far is to try to put the link in internet archive and view it there, as it is unlikely to be blocked. (It also blocks basically any proxy website, hell they even blocked Wikipedia for a bit.)
