[android-developers] Re: security app avoid uninstall

I think the best you can do (as Mike impossible to hide) is to hide in
plain sight. Another words, have your users download the app from
somewhere other than the market, then it won't show up in the
downloads section of the market and make your security app's name
something similar to a regular system function instead of
security.recoverstolen.com, that at least would make it difficult for
a non-Android savvy thief to figure out.
