Root "Show User Info On Lock Screen" Question

R

When putting user info and Contact/Reward Info on Lock Screen in case phone is lost I

noticed the Banner with info is really really small.

Is there any any way around this so user info would be BIGGER?


Question 2 ; a friend left her iphone in a Cab and we were able to trace the phone to the Taxi's

exact location 4 hours later with "Find my Phone".

Could hear phone ringing in parked Taxi at 5:30 AM and called Taxi Company to open and

retrieved phone.

Is there an Android App like this?

Hello. I don't have an answer to the lockscreen question. AFAICS there isn't an option for the text. It may lie in an xml file in the framework. There are many apps to find your phone such as find my droid, lookout mobile security, prey, avast mobile, avg mobilation, etc. I have tried many and the one I like is avg mobilation. You can lock device remotely, find it, wipe personal info remotely, make it scream even if on silent mode, etc. YMMV. Hope this helped.
 
I currently am running Find my Droid - and since I bought pro am probably stuck with it. I can do everything remotely, take pictures and have them sent to me, wipe phone, wipe sd card, lock it, make it ring, gps trace it.


I want a good app that will trace where I've been, and then map it for me. So when Im the passenger in a car blindfolded I can know where the safe house is?
 
check out Cerberus Anti Theft on Google Play for finding lost or stolen phones, my friend has it on his Motion and he showed me some wicked stuff with it.

If you're a blindfolded passenger in a car, whoever blindfolded you would probably take your phone away from you.

I use Strava Run for my training app. It even marks where I veer off course to make a pitstop. It's been very reliable and I use it on my long cycle treks too.
