Does anyone know if the HTC IQAgent process is basically HTC's version of CarrierIQ?

After digging in some more it definitely appears to be. It's listening on port 2479 which is the same port that Samsung's CarrierIQ listens on.

I just read about samsung's version of this IQ; sounds very shady.
Does any know if any of the EVO developers have managed to remove this from their ROMs?

Not sure. I read the same thing about Samsung's version of IQ which was what made me start looking at my running processes. That's when I noticed HTC IQAgent and started digging in.
I just flashed CyanogenMOD and there's no agent. I guess the best bet is to go with an AOSP based ROM to be sure. Hopefully it can be pulled from custom Sense based ROM's.

Very Interesting! If I were a DEV I would certainly list this in my Changelog!

[Q] is it feasible to build in proxy wifi support into the EVO by you devs?

The lack of proxy support is a real black eye for the platform. I'm wondering whether this is something that can be solved by developers for rooted EVOs.

then its safe to say other devs could do it? the code is public, right?
Not touching CM6, its not for me.
Really don't see why this thread needed to be moved, it only concerns rooted Evo owners and is very much a development issue. XDA has a different posting culture and I'm still trying to figure out what is and isnt acceptable, its never really clear
i guess we should just assume that unless you post on a thread started by a dev that the thread is going to get moved regardless

simple answer is that you'll see a bunch of posts when it's fixed, it's being actively worked on but it's not a simple fix
In very much layman's terms, can anyone explain how something like this gets broken? Why does it work in one version and then not in the next? Thanks!
Different phones use different settings and different servers. Different networks use totally different ways of handling messages.

that, and that code gets re-written, updated, etc.
something gets updated or fixed, and some other thing could break because of it... what I do know is that CM is a community project, with amazing devs, and they are dealing with cutting edge software. we gotta remember that 2.3.4 is only (officially) on two phones right now, the Nexus One and Nexus S, both Google phones.
Someone posted a fix on the nightlies thread: MMS Fix Here

Wildstang Hybrid speed - update nag + Voice Mail Notification issue

Running his rom and have two issues, one is the darn update nag I keep getting. Any idea how to turn off?
Other issue is voice mail notifications are not working. Not sure why but I keep missing VM's. Need to somehow fix.
Thanks for any direction!
I'm really waiting for a dev to build a 2.1/3.0 rom based off of the newest OTA. I've tried to make sense of the whole dev thing, but it just isn't for me. Wish I could figure it out.

You can't. The Incredible never got 2.1. You have to port it from a newer device.

[Q] Sprint Gnex lockscreen question

Ok so I have a question. I have had the gnex on Sprint's networks for about a week now and was curious as to if one can add additional apps to the unlock screen in addition to the default ones (camera and unlock), such as your txt msg'ing app or pandora or something like that. Is this possible? Or would I have to put a different ROM on the phone like CM9?
Running stock 4.0.4
custom ROMs include it. There are also apps that replace your lockscreen. I believe "Widgetlocker" is one. "MagicLocker" is another.

Well I was kind of hoping that there was one built into ICS versus downloading any application (I'm a huge minimalist with apps. If there's a decent built in one, I'd rather use that then downloading one). I think I've used something like both WidgeLocker and MagicLocker back when I had an HTC Evo. Anywho, I guess from what you're saying is that there isn't a built in way in ICS to do what these two apps do?
Try aokp or gummy.

Absolutely not. You must flash a ROM to have it "built in".

[Q] S-off without identifier tag

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if any of you can help me out. I have a HTC Wildfire S but I'm getting quite fed up with always running out space and not being able to move some of the preinstalled things to my SD card. So... I read up a little and believe I need to root it to gain admin so I can start moving things around. To do that I need to turn S-off(?) but the problem i'm having is HTCDev don't seem to be emailing me whatever I'm supposed to get after pasting my identifier code. Is there anyway to get it S-off without the identifier thingy?
Thanks.

If you follow instructions from HTC DEV it will make your phone S-ON...To do S- OFF you need XTC clip...So you can try couple of more times pasting the identifier token or try using xtc clip...If nothing works try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131264

Try Jelly King if you want a taste of jelly bean. If you want ICS, CM9.1 Alpha 9. If you want sense based ROMs, I would recommend wildchild or crossfire 77's modified stock ROMs if you want the default looks.

If im totally honest I have no idea the differences between them, I was told try CM9.1/CM10, I checked out their wiki, seems pretty good but doesnt actually say if it supports Wildfire S or not, then I found out theres like 3 types of wildfire S. Also I read about some bugs in the video/camera for CM, dunno how dated the posts where though or if they are fixed now.
I assume Sense based roms are based on Htc Sense?
Forgive the n00bness but I am but a humble n00b, research, trial and error all the way.

CM9.1 has the infamous camcorder bug. CM10 has working camera, but the video records at a very low frame rate. Yes, sense based ROMs are based on HTC sense. In Wildchild, sense stuff is stripped out, only essential files are kept. It makes the phone faster.
N00bness, well, even I was once that way. But I have to appreciate the fact that you are at least researching. People just blindly come and ask questions to which answers are literally one search away.
If you have any more doubts, feel free to ask again and use my help thread in the Q&A section.

Loss of camcorder... I dunno man, what happens if the Mrs wants to make some *home movies* ahem.
Wildchild sounds good then. Basically my issue was the lack of space, which I fixed last night with the something2sd app (forgot first part of the name), which also sorted out problem of getting rid of rubbish like twatter and friend stream. Right now i'm not really after anything life changing, stripping it down to the bare essentials and being able to put a few apps on would be great, overall speed improvement and battery life would be awesome as im sick of charging it all the time but I dont want it at the cost of other things not working. Oh and being able to do themes would be really nerdy but cool. Any suggestions?
I actually quite enjoy the research side of things, I like understanding things, granted im not the most technically minded but I can figure out the basics... sometimes.

If you want themes on Wildchild, its pretty much DIY. Visit uot kitchen and make it yourself. And if you want the personalize option to work in Settings, you need to flash the stock Rosie. Its in addons section.
Or you could use CM7.2, based on GB, everything works except USB tethering (which I forgot to mention is a known bug on all CM Roms). Themes are widely spread on play store, xda, and a bunch of other sites. If tethering isn't of concern, you can go for CM7.

After a quick googling I found out usb tethering is using your phone as a modem, not something Ive ever used or ever plan to use, so that puts me smack bang in the middle of wildchild and cm7.2. Any other pros and cons?

That's pretty much it.
Cm7 looks kinda bad, so I would recommend either LunarUI or MattedBlues. Top themes and I've tried out both.
If you like blue, you're gonna like Wildchild. But if you can't handle everything blue, cm7 is for you.
Good luck, and ask away if you still have doubts.

Crunch time, so much pressure. So it's safe to assume both are pretty similar and do the same things, both are better than what I have now and both are simple to customize?

Yes, yes and yes. Only CM7 is easier to customize. Because finally, its CM.
