Thank you for all your work & dedication. Is it possible to implement:

• Duress Password Wipe
• USB extraction wipe

Not sure if these are something that might be in the works moving forward but thanks again either way.

The tile function doesn't seem to trigger on a reboot, or shutting the phone down and starting it up again. (Might be a limitation that we are okay with after all) Would like to propose the following features as well:

• Possible to set a custom string for broadcast?
• Possible to copy the broadcast string within the app?

I would like Wasted to accept remote commands from SimpleX (simplex.chat) after successfully establishing a previous contact connection with it (see one-time link).

The commands that can be given remotely should be:

• perform a complete wipe after time based events
• perform a complete wipe after X wrong pin attempts
• lock/unlock the device
• do not accept unlock codes locally until I send the unlock code remotely (unless you enter the recovery passphrase)
• change the lock/unlock pin
• wipe esim
• turn on/off 110db siren
• send gps position once
• send gps position every X minutes
• turn on/off flashlight
• turn on/off vibration

When I use wasted on grapheneos and I send the famous code in an application that displays notifications, nothing happens and the phone does not wipe.

On the other hand, all the other functions, with duress, airplane mode etc. work perfectly.

Is it not necessary to add a request for authorization so that Wasted is the right to read the notifications?

Hello, using samsung device, giving all rights it asks, including notification access, it does not trigger when code is send using threema, signal or session, I check marked all 3, and tested all 3, is there a particular reason for that ? It cannot work on samsung ? USB trigger does work, I hope someone can help me with this, I tried many things.

On grapheneos

When I set up a time in minutes or hours and change my profile. nb: it also happens to me in random ways on a phone under grapheneos which has no profile. I just disconnect and when I come back it sets the default value 7D

Ex : 30 mn

I switch to a user profile, I disconnect after 35 minutes from the user profile, I reconnect to the Owner Profile.

I reopen Wasted and the default time is back to 7D.

So it didn't Wipe On grapheneos

Improvement idea:

• Have the possibility to know the version number (ex on f-droid the app is in error when we download it because the apk is not available anymore), and i dont know if the version on playstore it's latest.

• Be able to have a finer granularity on the N Days parameter and go down to the hour.

(e.g. have time slots, from 21h to 06h = N Hours & from 06 to 21h = N Hours)

• Have the possibility of N Hours / Days based on a wifi. If the smartphone does not connect to a wifi X, then after N Hours, it wipes the phone. When a state attacker takes a phone, he puts it in the wifi airplane, and even if he doesn't, we can assume that the phone will be far away from the wifi where people usually work.

• Have the possibility to have a panic password to wipe the phone directly.

• N.B.: Unfortunately, I think that for this idea, you need a screenlocker like datawipe: http://safetyapps.zone/datawipe.html

• N:B: The screenlocker comes after the normal locker or the fingerprint unlocking.

Hi! I tried this app on ProtonAOSP, based on Android 12 (https://protonaosp.org) with no luck.

Tiles - there are no extra tiles after app installation. I see Podcast Addict tile, Cryptocam, but not Wasted one:

Shortcut - there are no shortcuts in app's context menu either. Once again, Protonmail has one for a some reason, Wasted - no:

Notifications - Wasted should be able to read all notifications, but still nothing happens when I send auth code in Telegram.

Broadcast - not sure, can't really check if it works. I installed Duress app, configured it as decribed here https://github.com/x13a/Duress/issues/1#issuecomment-1049458803 ... but I don't want to wipe my device ATM, and there's no extra ways to see if it really works. Like I'm entering duress code on lock screen, and the only action sould be device lock, but I'm already on the lock screen, so it's unclear if Wasted worked in this case.

(And I see no way to copy auth code to clipboard, but It was mentioned in https://github.com/x13a/Wasted/issues/15. Long press to refresh code, short - to configure triggers, so again I'm not sure if there's a problem with my OS, or it copying was not implemented)

Please tell me if I can help to debug this. Thanks :)

Feature request: it would be nice to have some kind of armed/disarmed switch, "dry-run" mode to ensure if Wasted is configured properly and ready to nuke everything, you haven't mistyped the auth code, notifications and all stuff are working properly etc. Wasted in "disarmed" state should still listen for triggers, but instead of wiping everything it should say "I hear you, BOOM!" :)

First things, love the app and have tested it on Lineage OS (Android 11) on Samsung A5, works perfectly, at least coupled with PanicKit and Tiles.

But a couple of things I feel should be added to the ReadeMe. What each option "Tiles, Notification,PanicKit" does and what else the user needs to do to enable it. For example I had no idea what "Tiles" was until I read another Issue on this github where someone asked and you very helpfully answered. I've yet to understand what Broadcast does, though I managed to muddle my way through the rest on my own.

I think the improvement should be easy and increase the user experience by a lot.

Thanks again

thanks for all these changes, the interface is much clearer and everything seems to work wonderfully (except for lock I redo a post)

An idea like this, would it be possible to have a fake set of popular app icons for the shortcut tab:

• Whatsapp
• Signal (Signal.org)
• Session (getsession.org)
• Threema (threema.ch)
• Molly (Molly.im)
• Facebook
• Facebook Messenger

I feel dumb posting this as an issue but I don't know where else to ask this, the documentation (incl. closed issues) isn't helping a smoothbrain like me.

This app is exactly what I need (or well, at least the function from my title) but it doesn't seem to work for me. I installed it on my drawer nokia 6.1 w/ android 10 to test it. Ticked the 'wipe data' checkbox, set the time to wipe 10m, tapped the v next to that, turned the app 'on' and enabled it as a system administrator. Put my phone to sleep and waited, but nothing happened after 10 minutes. Using a tile seems to set it off instantly, instead of waiting until it hasn't been unlocked for 10m. I've no idea what I'm doing honestly.

I'm not sure if the just I have this problem but I'm using Wasted on a rooted 2021 Samsung Device w/ Android 11 One UI 4.0 and triggering the app multiple times using the created fake messenger apps causes a message from the android or samsung device administration app or something simillar (In german its called "Geräteverwaltung") to appear suggesting to send wasted in a deep standby because it keeps crashing. Triggering the app using ripple or smth. simillar doesnt do anything. I might also just be stupid...

Fix for View class androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView is an AppCompat widget that can only be used with a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant).

• Main ApplicationActivity needs to use AppCompat theme.

Fix for android.content.pm.PackageManager$NameNotFoundException: ComponentInfo{me.lucky.wasted/me.lucky.wasted.trigger.application.ApplicationActivity}

• Main ApplicationActivity was not enabled.

Hi, remote wipe os possible with SMS, but also with messemgers like Signal and Whatsapp. Does this mean the app can read all my signal/whatsapp messages? Device_admin is a powerfull permission. Is there no other way to do this ? Are u as a developer active on some matrix rooms so i can ask questions, i really like the app i just dont like the fact it can snoop on my messengers.

On Android there can be multiple user profiles. Does the app wipe everything, or is it restricted to the user profile it is running in? I guess it can only wipe that profile, due to sandboxing.

My idea is focused on usb port surveillance (which already exists) but with the possibility, by placing a (same) key file in Wasted and in the usb key, to prevent unintentional deletions due to human error. Key files can be added in Wasted, if it finds them in external devices, it does not "fire."
