Wow, sorry for double post, but this thing creeped me out: all those details of my device transfered on internet ! I realize I'm not ok with that, however trustful those people can be.
If I uninstall the app from the system menu of the n9, will it remove all unneeded dependencies and config files ? thx

Uninstalling should remove all the files installed by prey. You can double check if '/opt/prey' is deleted from the filesystem. Not sure about the dependencies though.
If you dont trust the Prey-project server people, you can operate Prey on standalone mode. In this mode you use your own server for tracking. More details and a server side app is available on the Prey website. The code is all open source and can be found here.
I haven't tested standalone mode, as I dont have a server.
Huge battery hog , drained full battery in 6 hours . In htop prey.sh was constantly on the top of processes . Now I purged it and never gonna install again any app of this kind .
i'm quite busy these days, trying to finish and submit my thesis. improving current release requires considerable amount of time to identify proper solutions for existing problems. Once I have submitted my thesis and relocated from my present location, I will consider improving this app.
it will be good to know how many people are using or planning to use this app for tracking their N9[50].
regarding sailfish:
this app requires access to a lot of system information, and is difficult without more information and access to hardware.
developing for N9[50] had issues because of aegis. same code worked for some devices and did not work for other devices. this might be due to different OS variants out there.
my suggestion to those interested, would be to contact Jolla team and request them for supporting Prey as their official "track and protect" app, as it is an opensource project.
