Lost Phone: need to remotely install app to find

[kwest12]

I lost my phone last night and need to remotely install an app to find it. I tried Plan B but it isn't sending me my location so I assume it isn't installing properly (or working properly). Are there any similar app I can try?

(FYI my phone is still one b/c we call it and it rings the normal amount before going to voicemail)

If it's relevant, I'm running Wizard's MIUI on my Droid X from Verizon.

I know you can INSTALL an app from the Play Store, but you can't RUN it. If it's not running, you won't be able to benefit from it.

Is that Android overalls?

Well I've done a bit of looking. Plan B and AndroidLost are both designed to be able to start remotely. Unfortunately, neither of them has worked. I click install and it acts like it's trying to install. I can log out and log back in and the apps then allow me to click "install" again, meaning that they haven't been installed.
