I’ve found several threads on this topic through web searching, but none have an applicable answer. I suspect the answers are dated.
I’ve installed the premium version of Avast Mobile Security, including Antitheft. The Antitheft Settings have numerous settings that say they only apply to rooted phones. My phone is definitely rooted (in more than one sense of the term!) but the options are nevertheless disabled (‘greyed out’).
I’ve seen forum posts that say uninstall and reinstall Antitheft, but when I reinstall it, it just installs like any other Android app—there’s no ‘Advanced Installation’ or ‘Install Rooted Version’ option. I also cannot find a rooted version in Google Play, or even a standalone Avast Antitheft, for that matter, just ‘Avast Mobile Security & Antivirus’, ‘Mobile Backup & Reset’ and ‘Update Agent’.
Can somebody please provide updated information on how to enable these features.
