Carrier IQ?

Does anybody know if the Thrill roms, have CIQ?
as many of you know CIQ, can track everything about your device,
and i mean EVERYTHING, so i was just wondering if anybody knows if the Thrill roms being develop here have CIQ in them.

As I understand this only comes in the HTC Sense UI

iv read through the news, the thing lives in kernel. Sense and Touchwiz and others may have active carrier IQ parts in them for better tracking...

I thought I saw ciq info in the initramfs, if I can confirm with treve I'll pull it.

don't hesitate to do that, pull the rat out there, i want to be able to have some freedom with my phone, without worring too much 'bout big brother

make sure to back up and read up before you remove it. the att version seems to be required to let the phone run on the stock rooted rom. i just bricked mine after removing it. And to kick me while i'm down, it wont boot into cwm so i can recover my phone. sh*t sucks.

With battery removed hold vol up button and plug phone into computer. You should see a few things installing. Your phone will not actually turn on the way you know it is worlkng is by the fact it connects to the computer. You may need to download a few drivers from the baseband flash tutorial first. Once everything is installed correctly you should be able to install a kdz. That might fix you up.

Is it safe to assume since the Doomed Froyo rom offers a custom kernel then it might be CarrierIQ free? Shouldn't this be a standard request on all new roms in the future?

No I never tried to even look for it. Mech said that removing it made his phone completely unbootable so removing it may prove more difficult than just erasing something.

Yeah I am double posting
Carrier IQ doesn't really matter anyway. Your carrier sees and stores everything you do with or without it. Everything you do goes through your carrier first so if you think removing carrier iq does anythjng to protect your privacy you are sorely mistaken
Oh one thing you can be happy about is ATT only keeps your texts and call records for 5-6 years.

Not sure, but if this in the init.rc is what I think it is, I'm going to strip it in Thrillz kernel V3.
Code:
LGE_CHANGE_S [CIQ] 2010-10-21 : adapting patch files
service iqmsd /system/bin/iqmsd
# user system
disabled
on property:service.iq.active=1
start iqmsd
on property:service.iq.active=0
stop iqmsd
# LGE_CHANGE_E [CIQ]
Though Urabewe has a point... If the carriers want the info, they can put it in the Ts&Cs, and skim the info anyways......

Your location, texts, calls, where you made the call from and more are all stored on your carriers servers automatically whether your phone has ciq or not. There is no getting around it and, get your tin foil hats out, the feds DO NOT NEED A WARRANT TO RETRIEVE THIS INFO. THANK YOU MR. BUSH FOR THE PATRIOT ACT

I know... They would have to get my data records to get my text messages... I use google voice, but point taken.

I couldn't agree more. It's one of the worst pieces of legislation ever made. It's insulting to those who actually like this country to call it the "Patriot act". Just sickening. Welcome to the USSA.
More on-topic, I wonder exactly what it takes to neuter ciq? I know that the phone company has all my txts and phone calls and can sniff packets for all my data usage, but ciq is FAR more insidious than that. It allows keyboard logging. This means that they can have the user id and password for anything that I've logged into from this phone. Granted, I have nothing to hide, but I feel that it is my right to hide it anyways. To be secure in my private papers and effects, etc.
I guess I'm really glad that I hadn't gotten around to porting truecrypt for android yet. It would be completely pointless if there's a keylogger on the machine.

I have more proof.

My results from 4 CarrierIQ detectors. I'm running DoomedFroyo V1.0.1
I got 3 yes, 1 no:
Voodoo Detector-Yes
Kintoo Detector-Yes
Bitdefender Detector-No
Lookout Mobile Security Detector-Yes

I would love to test the new kernel wit ciq removed. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws, but could this crapware be.part of our battery issues?
For what it's worth, I know that the carriers have all my text and call data and can sniff packets. It's a stretch to say I'm okay with it, but there's not much I can do. A keyboard logger, however, is TOTALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. In addition to that, I am not okay with carriers sending snooping data about me over a metered connection that I pay for. Hell no. Spend your own resources on spying, at&t. Not mine!

Why is everybody looking for proof when it is sitting right there in running services?
I disabled it by tapping on it and it did not show up in services again for over 10 hours. So I powered down the phone and voila, it is back. Not sure if disabling really disables as I am not set up to log anything to my computer.

I would recommend AV for only the remote lock, wipe, and gps features in case of theft/loss. There are other, non AV apps that do this too though. Such as Seekdroid.

+1 for Seekdroid
Haven't had to put it to use thankfully but if my phone ever does get stolen, I feel bad for the poor fellow who gets his hands on it... Very powerful app! Can remotely track the device, activate an alarm if you've lost it at home, lock the phone remotely and even do a full wipe, all from your web browser. Currently inside my house and it locates me to an accuracy of 4 meters... And the BEST part, IMO, you can HIDE it from the app drawer on the phone itself!
And as mentioned earlier, Antivirus is not needed. 99.9% of apps that come through the Market are safe.

Thank you all. I am aware that there are hardly any viruses out there for android devices, but i am currently in the midst of trying.. keyword: trying to root my phone, and i dont want to put any viruses from the files i download from the PC, onto my beloved smartphone, so once again thanks guys
and if any one has some free time and would be willing to guide me through the process of getting rid of bloatware (ive already rooted my phone, and backed up everything i just dont know what to do next) i would be willing to ship 10$ =)

Download Script Manager from the market, then run one of the debloating scripts in the dev section. There's one by psouza and another one, I used the other one. It has options to keep certain apps in the script.

The 2011 version also has real-time driver distraction monitoring, ID 10-T error updating, and for some reason a toolbar.

I think AV is good enough. Added feature is that you get remote wipe if your phone ever gets lost.

FYI common sense doesn't protect you from things such as exploit and web script based infections.

I personally use Lookout. But honestly its not something you need to worry about too much, yet. But I'm sure its going to be a problem next year. Play it safe and only install apps that have high install counts on the market and high ratings.

Well, unless you are doing A LOT of side loading (installing non market apps) from random sites or are using pirated applications there is absolutely no need for anti-virus on a linux based system..
You as the end user are 100% in control of what apps gain permission and using common sense by looking at what permissions your giving said applications is up to you to decide.
The only virus I've heard of was found in china and pretty sure it was a side loaded application and it would steal data like phone numbers and e-mail addresses and the person was selling the information to spam sites.
Like I said though, if your just downloading apps from the android market your fine.

Your right, android already does that. Unless someone writes a script/exploit to get around asking permissions for root since the browser doesn't run as a root application. Android has very high security when it comes to web browsing. Remember, we are talking about linux.

In my opinion the best protection is a firewall, DroidWall does the job well.

what is coffeemaker driver?

I'm a noob and unable to post this question in that thread... Looks like I need to have at least 10 posts before posting in some development thread.
Thanks,

I'll clear it again, coffee naker driver a special driver laser for Samsung galaxy range phones (except the one which don't run cm/cm10) and some HTC phones. This drivers combined with the 'coffee or toffee' app that is being worked on by cm team can enabled functions like making coffee from our phone. The toffee function will come later this year when toffee driver is complete. If u want the support of these drivers on our non supported phones then tweet cyanogenmod team.

@Others who promptly replied and showed they are good enough in sarcasm, facepalm or whatever, thanks to you guys as well... God bless you guys :angel:

You guys who are laughing do come around as a bit ignorant. As it is possible for Android to connect to pretty much any adapted appliance you can think of (yes, the apis are there, you likely already know that too when you think about it), the funniest part of this is actually on those of you who think this is a good or even great joke.

IncS developers without IncS handset

We had lost lots of developers like Nik, l0st.prophet because of their handset upgrade. These guys are willing to work on IncS development but unfortunately they don't have handset. I have seen many people willing to donate money and even spare their handset for development work.
Looking all these, I have got one idea.
Can someone take initiative and provide remote access of his PC and IncS for development work to these incredible developers?
I am not software guy or developer. So, I don't know path forward...somebody needs to explore.
but if it is possible, we will be back again in the era of development.

Just to clarify, we have not Lost Nik he is just waiting for new device to arrive .Thanks again to the amazing fjordell.

Sorry guys,
I am also not aware how to access boot screen remotely.
But, I have seen many technical support with remote access, so I just wanted you guys to think and respond if feasible.
If you feel not possible, we can drop this idea.

If the phone is in fastboot and hooked to the computer, you could give full access to your computer, so someone could use it as if he was at your home. But, I fail to see the greatness of this idea.
I have an IncS and I like-it, but I'm a realist. This phone as had better days, and, soon enough, it will be time to jump on newer and better technology.

Good noob software for making music

I've DJ'd in the past and I'm looking to start making my own music. The thing is, I can play the music but I haven't got a clue about the technical side of it. I'm sure you think this is the wrong forum to post in but they're so many geniuses on here that I thought I'd ask. I'm looking for a PC software with plenty of samples so I could start learning from the beginning. Any help would be great thanks.

www.Gearslutz.com , baby!
Thats all im gonna say. You can get the app in the Google play store.
You wont find a better forum for your question. Its my other home.
Also since youre looking for a great place to start for your genre id say two things:
Free? Go for Audacity. Google it. Its open source 100% free software for pc I think mac too. IGNORE THE HATERS.
People say its crap but cmon man its not meant to be studio quality.
If you want to spend some cash buy a cheap daw that comes with logic or cubase.
As much as people rip on it Audacity is a great tool to learn from.
I personally prefer pro tools, and use pt10 with a digi003 r+.
Its a great set up.
But seriously gearslutz ftw.
:beer:

FL Studio is the best for beginners and users that don't need a better software to make music like Spectrasonics Omnisphere.

a friend of me uses fl studio
sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom

There's in iPhone app for it. That works the best for noobs.

FL Studio (Formerly Fruity Loops) or Audacity (free and very easy and simple). FL Studio is immensely more advanced then Audacity, but for quick montage and simple editing, I always use Audacity.
Or if you're really serious with this, Cubase is the way to go. It's fairly expensive (if you buy it), but it has pretty much everything you could want, even if you go professional. The Mac alternative is Logic Pro.
