Removing CarrierIQ AT&T E980 - LG Optimus G Pro

Well I removed CarrierIQ from the ATT E980 and you get a significant amount of RAM back to the device. I have noticed that 1.01GB of ram is being used while I now have 1011MB free, or pretty much 1 GB free. The only thing that happens is I get 2 to 3 FC's during boot-up.
I am using the stock rom on 10k rooted and unlocked
AT&T bloatware is annoying.

I managed to remove Carrier IQ in ATT E980 kitkat(official rom)
Guys, I'm not a developer or anything so - Try this at your own risk.
With that said. This is what worked for me.
My G pro is on ATT stock kitkat 4.4.2.
Carrier IQ and other loggers were killing the battery, and there is the privacy and security issue.
So after spending long time figuring out what to do, I couldn't find anything solid. Some advice from here, some from there, a little hit and trial and boom no CIQ finally.
I thought I'll put this up, if this works for you guys then there will be a concrete method for everyone.
I write down the steps I took, as I took them. You can simply go to PART 2 and see if that is all is needed for CIQ to go away.
PART -1
Steps -
1) Root your device.
2) Get Logging test app (by TrevE) from google playstore.
3) Go pro, get license.
4) Use the app to scan for loggers.
5) Choose to remove loggers and CIQ from options. Reboot accordingly.
Now I still had CIQ and loggers after this. But it deleted the logs that were created. I also noticed an extra .15gb of free ram after reboot that was definitely not there before. So I recommend it. I personally thought this was beneficial.
PART - 2
Rename libiq_client.so and libiq_service.so found in /system/lib device folder. Then reboot.
I'm not sure if you need root to do this. Mine was rooted when I did.
I found CIQ was gone after this.
Well, that's it guys. Hope this helps you all.

Were you able to check with the voodoo ciq app if it was gone?

I checked with following apps and these were the results -
1) Carrier IQ Detector (Lookout one) - Your device does not have carrier IQ (Was showing that I did earlier).
2) Logging app by Treve - CIQ does not exist (Was showing that it existed earlier).
3) Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector 2.0.5 - Carrier IQ found ans is active. Detection score is 200 [ The app description says it returns false positive.]
4) Carrier IQ spy - Carrier IQ is installed and running.
Seems you have a point. CIQ may not have been completely removed.

Damn these carriers! I was really hoping your method would work.
But suggestion of renaming the libs is working to some extent I think..I did that yest evening, after your post and from morning today till now in late evening, approx 10 hrs, battery is down only to 83% with 1 hr 10 mins screen on time
It seems carrier iq runs as a process in system, some diag.iq or something ..guess that needs to be stopped if it I has to be disabled completely

Removal of CarrierIQ

Does anyone know of any manual methods to remove CarrierIQ? The S4 for Tmobile comes with CarrierIQ installed.

lemme know here where you'll be posting it... I'm super interested to get rid of CIQ, especially since it's a waste of battery life. I generally customize my ROMs with almost nothing left as far as background processes are concerned. My i9100 gets a 1-2 day battery life because of it, lol.
Not sure if this is the correct way but,
I rooted and installed root uninstaller..
Browsed tab where it says all programs.. looked through and found three programs starting with iQ...
I un installed all three.
when I did root checker after it said carrier iq was not detected on my device.
(previous to removal it said it WAS present on my device.
Hope this helps

The issue with simply removing APKs is that the calls are still being sent by the framework. That does not satisfy me. I want it entirely gone.

I tried a number of apps on google play store that detect CarrierIQ and none detected CarrierIQ. Only one (Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector) said there maybe some elements of CarrierIQ but it was inactive. I believe that program produce a false positive since looking at comments it said everything has element of CarrierIQ. The programs I used are Carrier IQ Detector, Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector, Anti Carrier IQ, Bitdefender Carrier IQ Finder, TrustGo Carrier IQ Detector, Carrier IQ Scanner, and Carrier IQ Red Pill.

Hey k0nane, best to give up. This guy says it doesn't exist in our phone. He used advanced apps.
Actually your false positive is the only app that caught it. Probably because supercurio worked with k0.

You're given the option to turn it off, and that's the best you've got, but I don't trust it.
Glad the same method still works. I haven't gotten around to trying it yet, but I was going to suggest it..
Will unchecking it from Droid Wall do the trick temporarily?
Rooted and uninstalled these 3 in Titanium Backup:
"system manager toggle"
"system manager application"
"system manager notification"
Then I went to the /System/CSC/ folder in Root explorer and edited both the Feature.xml and Other.xml files
Using Root explorer you long press the on the filename until a menu comes up. Choose to open with Text editor.
The text is at the bottom.
<!-- CIQ -->
<CSCFeature_CIQ_BroadcastState>true</CSCFeature_CIQ_BroadcastState>
Change true to false in this section of BOTH of these files and save and reboot.
The old files before editing will be saved with a .bak extension.
Worked great for me.

Carrier IQ spyware/logger in the official LG ROM

Just discovered Carrier IQ logger in the official LG ROM. Found it by searching for an app that turns on my GPS randomly and discharging my battery. After removing it, the battery life is so much better. Have much less respect for LG after that. Life is Good when you carry manufacturer-infused spyware in your phone? What a BS...

That's the one I used too. It costs just $1 in US. You can also use a free version, it will report dll files from system/lib that belongs to carrier IQ which you can delete manually, but using the application is easier and safer.

I don't think it's the AT&T, my daughter has Samsung Galaxy S3 from AT&T and it doesn't have the carrier IQ. Unless Samsung was against it when making the deal with ATT...

are you trying to say that the AT&T G Pro doesn't have Carrier IQ? when did we start talking about the s3? also yes it is AT&T Allowing Carrier IQ in the phones as they stated in many websites. and yes My AT&T E980 does have Carrier IQ.
can't be a google thing coz no carrier IQ in Korean F240 model.....maybe US thing?
I have International E989 version and no CIQ Logger was found, maybe it's not LG or Google that insert it in other versions.
Guys it does not matter who put ciq on the device.. Most probably it is AT&T as they have a direct interest in doing so... However what is important is to know how to remove it.. Whoever has been successful, can he make a step by step guide and post here please? Also does the treve app work on the e980?

I used logging test app... by TrevE it's free on his sight, there is a pro key on the play store. That I bought.. the App is fairly simple to use. And it appears to have worked some residual files remain so some CIQ checkers still may say you still have CIQ. But the ones that go into detail tell me. Some CIQ files remain but CIQ is inactive.
Here is the link TrevE's sight
http://androidsecuritytest.com/
The CIQ checker I used is voodoo CIQ checker.

Following your advice I downloaded the app and bough the key. Sure enough CIQ is there, turning on my GPS every thirty minutes, which wears down my battery (particularly indoors when it keeps it on and searching for the duration of my time within a building). I'm just a bit nervous of taking the step of automatically removing CIQ using the app. I trust the app and the developer 100%; it's bricking my phone that I'm worried about!

For me it worked, with no I'll effects, my GPS has not came on once after I removed the CIQ, prior to removing it seemed like every time I would wake my phone up the GPS would be on and searching. there is always a chance altering any system files that something could go wrong... hence why I always have a backup on my phone and on my lap top...good luck.

Thank you very much! I've rooted my phone and installed Freegee but gone no further yet. I'll need to get shaking with TWRP and backup my phone before I remove CIQ. I'd months of playing around wtih ROMS and backing up my old Note, so I'll read up on TWRP on the Optimus G Pro.

I am rooted but have not installed freegee and cwm yet, so cannot backup my current setup....I know a backup is important , but if not, can this procedure be considered safe? Did you see any abnormal behavior (boot up issues, system issues) after doing this? Also , any significant change in battery life?
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk
I've seen no adverse effects except a significant increase in battery life due to the GPS not turning on anymore. I did not backup at all, as there is nothing to delete! You just uncheck a few system processes using System Tuner, reboot, and then CarrierIQ should be not functional anymore!
G2V4 installed and no carrier IQ detected..problem solved..lol..

I just found out about this. Our phones have it. How do we get rid of it and what are the repercussions of doing so?

I found that one too from a web search. The article said it didn't have much support for a variety of devices, which I couldn't confirm nor deny, so I went ahead and installed disable services from the market. That did the trick. I don't think I have to worry too much about it because I'm not on ATT, I'm on Straight talk. But still the services for it running on my phone and taking up usable memory had to stop.
Do you have a carrier iq
Detector. I use voodoo after I run the logging test app to verify it worked.

Yeah I used two. Carrier IQ Red Pill and Carrier IQ detector. Both said I have it. I used the disable services to stop it but I still have the two system processes running. /system/lib/libiq_client.so and /system/lib/libiq_service.so. Any way to disable them? Rename them maybe or?
EDIT: I went ahead and bought that app you linked me too, doesn't hurt to support our devs, I installed the v14 version but I'm unclear on how to use it. What steps do I take?

I renamed those files and disabled services IQService and Tethering$entitlementCheckService and stopped receiving text messages so I enabled them again then renamed files back and used Autostarts to disable Android System>After Startup (IQ Agent Autostarter) , now Voodoo CarrierIQ detector says "Carrier IQ elements found however it seems inactive".
I did not test which one of those caused the problem of not receiving text messages.
Well I really hope this is removed in the 4.4 update, if we get it that is, cause this is just down right intrusive. Carriers are going way to far these days. People pay allot of money for their phones. They have the right to do with them as they please. Carriers are making it so you never really "own" your phone, it's just leased to you for life. Much like Microsoft does with their software. I don't know about anyone else but if I drop 200 or more for a phone I own it. Kiss my ass I will do as I please with MY PROPERTY!
ver. 10k for e980 have it

EDIT: I finished doing a backup then ran the app. Everything seems to be fine. So far anyway. I did notice when I ran Red Pill I get an "Unknown" for the status and says there doesn't appear to be any ciq processes running. Is that what you get esimon?
I use voodoo
It says elements of CIQ were found but not active. And I don't see the CIQ wake lock in better battery status app.

Bloatware

Hello
I recently received my note 7, which I purchased directly from Samsung which means it should not come with any carrier bloatware. I inserted my Canadian Rogers SIM card before turning on my phone and going though the initial set up only to finish and find a bunch of Rogers bloatware like 'MyRogers' and 'AppZone'. I have tried to uninstall these apps but I am only given the option to disable them. I even did a factory reset and made sure there was no SIM card during the whole process, but after completing it, those same bloatware apps were there. Is this normal? Is there a way I can uninstall these apps? One of the reasons I purchased directly from Samsung is so I wouldn't get all those carrier bloatware apps, but for some reason they are in my phone. Any comments and/or help is appreciated.

Just disable them and move on. If Disable is greyed out, use Package Disabler Pro. Also, apps are pre built into the system as system apps, so unless you find an untouched original firmware and flash it through odin, it will always have bloatware. I've disabled 137 samsung apps/services and my phones running like a beaut lol.

So all those websites saying that buying from the manufacturer is better because you won't have all that carrier bloatware are wrong? I read somewhere that they say that when you put a sim card in, it will automatically download all that bloatware, but I just realised my old Nexus did not have this problem which makes things even more confusing.

Although I did disable a few regular samsung apps like internet, calculator, clock, my files, and i think a few others. Just scroll through the list anf checkmark what you want disabled, and leave the things you want enabled unchecked.

I read somewhere that they say that when you put a sim card in, it will automatically download all that bloatware, but I just realised my old Nexus did not have this problem which makes things even more confusing.

Honestly I dont know, I havent bought a phone from a carrier in 5 years. I just go straight to the source. Just use PDP
Once you activate it with a carrier they load their programs onto the phone during activation. Sprint does the same and you can uninstall most of it except for a few.

This is the correct answer, in order to prevent this from happening - go through the activation process without a SIM inserted.

Hello
I recently received my note 7, which I purchased directly from Samsung which means it should not come with any carrier bloatware. I inserted my Canadian Rogers SIM card before turning on my phone and going though the initial set up only to finish and find a bunch of Rogers bloatware like 'MyRogers' and 'AppZone'. I have tried to uninstall these apps but I am only given the option to disable them. I even did a factory reset and made sure there was no SIM card during the whole process, but after completing it, those same bloatware apps were there. Is this normal? Is there a way I can uninstall these apps? One of the reasons I purchased directly from Samsung is so I wouldn't get all those carrier bloatware apps, but for some reason they are in my phone. Any comments and/or help is appreciated.

My understanding is that all of the Note 7 versions shipped to carriers install the boatware automatically in the initial setup based upon the first sim that is installed.
So if you took a clean Verizon Note 7 to tmobile it would setup tmobile bloatware instead.
I haven't been able to find out if it is cleared upon reset. I don't know if/when it will be possible to have a bloatware free version here without going with a carrier that just doesn't offer a full version Note 7. It is an awesome phone one way or another!

Unless you found the unlocked, non-carrier branded Note 7 on Samsung's site that they have yet to release then you got carrier bloat. It's not enough to order FROM the manufacturer but it has to say unlocked as the S7 they released is .. there are S7's marked for carriers which will have Samsung bloat and carrier bloat whether it ships on the phone or is downloaded during setup.
Again, you have to have purchased the unlocked, non-carrier branded version. This has not been released yet. Now .. once it has the ROM from that version will make it's way out and you can flash it. Then you'll have what you thought you purchased. :good:

Sorry, that's incorrect. The carrier branded devices have the carrier specific 'bloatware' baked into the signed firmware package. For example, I set up my T-Mobile branded note 7 before I put my SIM in. The tmo bloat was already there.

Someone please list a complete list of Bloatware that is safe to remove from carriers thanks
Here is the list of apps I have disabled with Package Disabler Pro on my Verizon Note 7. I am sure there are other apps that could be disabled if one wanted, but these are the ones that I felt I didn't need/want and have had zero issues since disabling. This has seemed to free up more RAM, and I also think is helping with battery life a bit. Here is the list:
ANT + DUT
ANT radio service
ANT + HAL service
ANT Plugins service
Apps edge
Briefing - flipboard
Briefing feed
Calendar
Caller name ID
CNN for edge panel
DT Ignite
Edge screen
Email com.samsung.android
