  • qbking77, thanks a million for all of your videos. I followed your instructions and got the same results but after running the "Carrier IQ Detector" app, it says "Your device does have Carrier IQ". To test again, I tried the "Voodoo CarrierIQ" app and it says "Carrier IQ elements found - however it seems inactive". It gave a detection score of 170. Is it removed or are there some more details I can give you?

  • @fitzee21 Some parts of CIQ need to be kept on the device so the device can function, but they aren't active. So you're fine :)

  • After installing this zip on my EI22 Epic I get a reboot about 20 seconds after the phone boots up. Over and Over.

  • @mmatrix Are you sure you were on the correct rom when flashing?

  • So you only remove the /system/lib/libiq_service.so service? That is enough?

    

  • @tweakradje No, its much more complex

  • My rating is 270..is this bad? and how can I lower or diminish this rating? Thx

  • @qbking77 Thanks a lot for the reply and the help. I was able to learn this after reading kOnane's post on XDA. However, after running adding the deodexed ROM and this, my phone is unable to import contacts from VCF files citing "Failed to parse vCard for unexpected reason...". I ended up loading the VCF into Google then linking from there. I guess that is probably a better option anyways in case my phone crashes :) Thanks again man, you've been a life saver for my new phone!

  • @fitzee21 2 hours later, I'm at 370 and confirmed active. I did this on 4 phones :(

  • fuck facebook and twitter, but those mods and stuff look interesting

  • follow me on twitter @bancarrierIQ

  • im sorry to say this but im running the macusantROM on my epic 4g and i have a lower ciq rating than this fix (170 on marcusant and a 270 with this) is there a way to make it lower and i know anything below 200 with it saying that ciq is disabled is good but id still like to have a 0 rating.

    used voodoo carrieriq from market
