Best is to hardwire the device to the car battery.
Thank you Eddy, I did my search and found nothing that would suit better than the rooted version of avast anti theft.
Anyway, its obvious that the phone has to be wired to the battery, but when you’re talking about motorcycles with small batteries that spend the whole winter stored in a garaged, you’d be concerned about the phone draining the vehicle battery.
I’ve found that dedicated vehicle tracking (within reasonable prices) are useless as there is little gps accuracy.
Anyway, I’ll get some solution.
Thanks
I have been trying to imstall rooted version for several days but it does not download the installer… i tried reformatting m phone several times… but still… that is why I am here to ask for help which I found out it is no longer developed. WhaT a joke… the unrooted app is useless as it can be easily un installed. Luckily I did not renew my subscription. If anyone found an alternative rooted antitheft please let us know. Thanks
Good I checked here before reflashing a new ROM to my phone.
Rooted antitheft is the only antitheft worth having on your mobile and it’s very sad that avast stopped the support and development.
I have pulled out the APK from my rooted phone, give it a try guys and see if it works. I’ll need to know before I go ahead and flash a new ROM.

Sadly this will also only act as unrooted. In order to achieve root mode I think the Play download is a must.
Well, not supporting the rooted version anymore is one thing. Please be so kind to remove the root installation from the Anti-Theft installation options! Altough I guess this might ship with the new version of the app, but a warning of any kind would have been extremely useful…
I was excited but it actually doesnt work. It works as unrooted and requests to install the root version.
What a shame 
What if you use titanium backup and have it turn avast anti theft into a system app after you have it all setup then if the phone gets wiped it will still be there when it boots up.
If the system partition is also wiped, there is not a “resurrection” script of system apps.
By the way, nothing survives a full wipe 
Yup the app from the link in my last post doesn’t offer a root mode, the only thing it does different is installing under different name (File Explorer I think).
I flashed a new ROM, tried restoring with Titanium Backup, root mode didn’t work, tried installing the app by itself - root mode didn’t work.
Canceled my subscription, screw dat! Nothing left worth paying for.
Also uninstalled the Mobile Security, with each new update it was getting more and more intrusive with their other apps offerings and other things.
Bye Bye.
system remains untouched. With your app installed in /system/app, it will survice a factory-reset. But its data might not, as /data gets wiped. Which means, all required settings need to be part of the app itself, or of its “default settings” which get deployed on first initalization.
Prepared to cancel my subscription also, Avast just made the most stupid mistake when decided to remove the best features (SMS remote control via commands sent directly from the application and root mode)…
Prevision? Turn back? Waiting asnwers, abandoned the best android app for security!
Hello to everyone. I might have some good news. Or not.
As I strongly dislike the new versions of A.M.S., I keep backup of and old version I liked (4.0.7871). Including the antitheft app.
On my device it seems to work to restore these apps, which actually allow you to make that “hard-reset-proof” setup offline, with no need to download anything else.
The only difficulities I had were connected to the removal of the new version of antitheft app from G-Store . What I did to finally succeed was uninstalling it in Titanium, removing all avast files within the filesystem (excludung sd-card) and (important) wiping Dalvik-cache. Otherwise I kept recieving error messages like “You installed A-T from Google and from us at the same time”. So make sure You remove all existing A-T traces first.
Now, after the success, I am allowed all those options to integrate the app into rom as well as remove A-T from within the app itself, or through a nandroid recovery and a zip file.
So, I offer You my titanium backups of M.S. as well as A-T (named Avalanche forecast) with clean data and that zip file for removal of system-stored settings. Curious how long it will last here.
download here
Good luck and let me know if it works, I hope so.

Lame! Bring it back.
Hi,
Rooted Anti-Theft hasn’t been actively developed for a long time.
And currently there aren’t any plans for future support.
So it was decided to remove the installer from Google Play.
Nevertheless, some root features will be still available
in the standard Google Play version.

Que decepção!!! Que retrocesso! Avast, por favor retorne com a versão root!!!
What a disappointment!!! Avast , please return the root version !!! :-\
I would like to try it. But I can’t understand how!! Especially “that zip file for removal of system-stored settings”…
you’re right. i installed it and make it system app via titnium backup, but the data doesn’t survive after hard reset…
Why?
the best quality was the root mode…
Some of the rooted options are now in the normal version.
Others are not, mainly because Google made it impossible in their Android update.
