i want to install lookout to system so it cant be deleted..

any help

i have the

com.lookout.apk

Make a .zip and in it do /system/app/your-app.apk Or wherever you want it to go, move to root of SD card and then enter recovery mode and flash it.

You must have root :P

it force closes

as soon as i do this .... really confusing

FOLLOW EXACLY AS THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU DO IT WRONG!!!!

  1. Make a new zip file
  2. Make a folder called system
  3. Another one called app
  4. Place your app in this folder
We are now creating an update.zip which we can flash in recovery mode.

As you can see, the update.zip has the same file structure as your android phone so if we wanted to install something to /data then we make a folder called data.

  1. Now transfer that to the root of your SD card
  2. Enter recovery mode by using my guide (link below)
  3. choose 'flash update from sd card' and select your .zip you transfered
  4. Let it run
  5. You're Done! :P

Wouldn't your account settings be deleted on a factory reset anyway, rendering the app useless?

yes but u can simply log back in

open the app and enter user and pass

I'm not sure the thief will do that with your Lookout app ... :P

What? I guess it saves the settings in /data/data, and gets reset if somebody clears the phone?
