[Outdated, New Tool Created] Disable & Remove CIQ After Bootloader Unlock

!!!!UPDATE!!!
I have created a tool that makes this process 100% easier!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21566003&postcount=1
Proceed to use the following manual guide as reference but I suggest using the tool I created for an easier experience.
=======================================================================
First if you havent already, Unlock the Vivid Bootloader on HTCdev.com!
>>>>>Follow These directions step by step dont rush or skip any steps. Take your time with this removal. It involves deleting certain files from the system folder!<<<<<
***You need root, Look for ZERGRUSH's root method on the forums***
Update the root SU binary! ( can be done in the superuser settings menu )
Go to the marketplace and look for NoBloat Free
***Look for two entries***
HtcIQAgent (com.htc.android.iqagent)
IQRD (com.htc.android.iqrd)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Remove them or Backup and Remove them
Go to your terminal
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd system/bin
rm iqd
rm iqfd
cd system/lib
rm libhtciqagent.so
rm libciq_client.so
rm libciq_htc.so
cd system/etc
rm iqprofile.pro
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
close your terminal session
reboot
Enjoy!
Update : This seems to be complete for now, all CIQ libraries and apps removed. Supercurios CIQ app detects that only the log remains, its useless but you can delete this too. thanks khhawkins for opening up my eyes to something i blinked over.
Update #2: You will detect two linux kernel drivers t__param_str_ciq_info & t__param_ciq_info, these two load up from the stock kernel and cant do anything after CIQ has been removed. This is normal and you will not see CIQ resurface on your device
Update #3: If youre score is 150 on Supercurios CIQ detector app you are clear!
Update #4: Dont skip any steps!
RIP CIQ on the Vivid....

What about /system/bin/iqfd? Is that related too?
Thanks for this

According to supercurios app for detecting CIQ, the IQD file in /system/bin remains after deletion of the main CIQ files. Youll see in the logcat regarding CIQ "Unable to start service Intent", after you killed the two main running apps. There are two linux drivers that stop running after you ill iqd. But even if they are on, they are basically stranded, youre CIQ free either way.
Thanks for pointing this out KHhawkins, Im updating the post to instruct how to remove the iqd file and the iqfd file

Mission Accomplished

I have searched for Zergrushs root but haven't had any luck. Can some one post the link?

Search for the HTC supertool

there also happens to be an entry in /system/build.prop
ro.ril.ciq=1
dont know if changing it to 0 would have any effect.

No effect, I see no more ciq activity on logcat. I wanted to tinker with the build.prop file and initially remove it, but its an unnecessary step. Similar to the orphaned kernel drivers

My device has no system\pro directory at all.
Otherwise the only discrepancy I found was the file htciqagent.so was also libhtciqagent.so.

FYI - My Voodoo CarrierIQ score is 150 after following your directions. The applicaiton labeled my device as "Carrier IQ elements found - however it seems inactive".

Before
Code:
cd system\pro
rm iqprofile.pro
Issue:
Code:
find / -name iqprofile.pro
to locate the iqprofile.pro file.
Then, "cd" to that location, and issue
Code:
rm iqprofile.pro

Thanks, was in system\etc\

Fixed all entries

Any performance increase after removing CIQ?

Youre in the clear, the last "150" come from the linux kernel drivers which are actually part of the kernel.

Okay. Noob question here. When you say go to terminal. What does that mean? Terminal emulator on the phone? Or a terminal on the PC? And if on the PC what do I use?
I have unlocked the bootloader

He means a DOS prompt (Windows) or terminal window (Linux). Then navigate to where you have ADB (assuming you dont have environmental variables set up) and execute the commands.

On your Mac use the terminal app with adb. On a PC use command prompt with adb.

[Q] Retrieving apps and settings from CWM backup file

Hi!
I've restarded my X8 (latest GingerZaraki, nAa14) and it's stuck on bootscreen now (the screens turns off after time but it can be waken by home button). It launches normally when /data is formated but this means that I have no apps and their settings. I've got CWM backup (unfortunately after it bootstocked) and I want to restore my apps manually. My Titanium backup is a bit outdated. And heres comes the [Q] part - is ther any possibility of restoring my data manually from CWM backup file in which I can choose what I want to restore and what not?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there..
Yes it is possible with a little reading. If you have an existing Linux install it's easier but you can use any livecd you wish.
Visit this site to get a little more info..
Good luck..
---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------
Here's the easy way on a debian linux install..
Code:
linBox:/home/kaibo# modprobe mtdblock
linBox:/home/kaibo# modprobe jffs2
linBox:/home/kaibo# modprobe mtdram total_size=200000
linBox:/home/kaibo# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 0c350000 00020000 "mtdram test device"
linBox:/home/kaibo# dd if=/usr/src/sheeva/Image/ubuntu.jffs2 of=/dev/mtdblock0
278272+0 records in
278272+0 records out
142475264 bytes (142 MB) copied, 2.59761 s, 54.8 MB/s
linBox:/home/kaibo# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt
linBox:/home/kaibo# ls /mnt
bin dev home media opt root selinux sys usr
boot etc lib mnt proc sbin srv tmp var

Reboot to cwm, "backup and restore", "advanced restore"

stamatis, this actually cause the main problem - phone stucks on bootscreen. Recently I've found that the datas I had been looking for were in sd-ext.ext4.tar file, so I've exctracted what They're like me.xxx.xxx folders containing two another folders. Where should I put them if the app is installed on internam memory?
CtrlAltDelIrl, I've Ubuntu already but not feel too good with it, just basics. If nothing else helped, I'd try your solution. Thanks.

OK, i'll add a little more to make it easier..
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/jffs2
sudo modprobe mtdblock
sudo modprobe jffs2
sudo modprobe mtdram total_size=200000
cat /proc/mtd
sudo dd if=/home/user/Image/ubuntu.jffs2 of=/dev/mtdblock0
sudo mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/jffs2
ls /mnt/jffs2
Change what you need and type commands in a terminal..

Didn't even notice the different filesystem format lol..
It's very similar proceedure though..
Look here..

CtrlAltDelIrl, I'll try to this when I have some time. Thanks.
EDIT: I've tried your method CtrlAltDelIr, but I didn't succeed. Then I've found that Nandroid files can be extracted by Titanium Backup Pro, so I've bought it. Thanks for replies. Cya.

you have root access to run that remove?

I did, the superuser asked about terminal emulator root access and I allowed it

On terminal emulator:
Type Su
mount -o remount,rw /system
Uninstall
It happens to me once with OKJ script. Note: I don't know if you need to type "Uninstall" with Flyon. Good luck
Edited: or use script manager from the play store. Under advanced options you can mount the system as r/w or r/o.

I just created one that deletes cache for apps. The only thing is that you have to put the location of each apps cache manually. There is an app that does this, fast cache cleaner. It didn't work on my nexus 6p so I did it manually.
Here is my profile, you can add it remove what ever you need to, to suit your needs.

That's the app.
Make a context when screen turns off.
Next, make action and select code, run shell.
Then type in
rm -r /data/data/name.of.app/cache
If your doing multiple apps put a ; at the end of each line like this.
rm -r /data/data/name.of.app/cache;
rm -r /data/data/name.of.app/cache;

Lol. Thanks.

Run this as root by shell script:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox find /data/data -type d -iname "cache*" -exec busybox rm -fr {}/ ';'
Does the job for all apps(tested). Test it first in terminal.

Syntax error in exec, should end in ";".
