Stop Spying My Phone! - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

In the init.rc, you can find some interesting:
Code:
exec /system/bin/iqcopy /system/etc/iq.img.vfat /data/iq.img.vfat
chown system system /data/iq.img.vfat
mkdir /data/app_iq_archive
chown system system /data/app_iq_archive
chmod 0640 /data/app_iq_archive
mount vfat [email protected]/data/iq.img.vfat /data/app_iq_archive rw nosuid nodev
and
Code:
service iqmsd /system/bin/iqmsd
disabled
on property:service.iq.active=1
start iqmsd
on property:service.iq.active=0
stop iqmsd
Whts?! What do those services? Maybe prevent errors in the fs? Do better sound?
Ooo, it's Carrier IQ services running and data backuping
Ok, if you spent some time and decompile framework.jar e.g. from B521 international huawei firmware, you can see this nice pic.

}
Of course, for Carrier IQ services running, they need in the binaries:
..and some libs:
Q. How it remove?
1. Decompile RamDisk and edit init.rc.
2. Delete iqmsd and iqcopy from /system/bin.
3. Delete libiq * from /system/lib.
4. How remove CarrierIQ from framework.jar, I dont know. After simple deleting CarrierIQ smali, phone not boot.
On ICS I have found just CarrierIQ services running in the init.rc. Framework.jar, system/bin and system/lib - clear. Or, maybe just names are changed, I dont know. We cant be sure for 100%.
Don't forget, Big Brother Watch You! Be careful!
Interesting info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_IQ
On February 9, 2009, Carrier IQ announced a partnership with Huawei Technologies to develop a "new range of datacards that will provide improved feedback on the mobile broadband user experience."

hmmmm
really interesting post!
btw maybe if you remove all files about carrier IQ service, then the framework.jar smali may not work but phone still boots.
or we could use framework.jar from other roms, like aurora or CM to get rid of this? I guess it would not exist in AOSP framework.jar

I'm starting to get worried about my privacy here.
However I have an idea. Think of it if you want to. Maybe from project and service menu (these .apk files) that can be accessed by dialing some *# "blah blah don't remember right know" code . Maybe there are some options there for logging and stuff. I remember seeing some stuff in the past there. Have a look at it if you want.

yeah!
we have to remove this thing from our phones...if there is a clean framework someone should port it. (if i had the skills i would definetly port it)....and thank you my friend for this post ( i think i am going to go to my cave,where good things cant spy me)

[THEME][WIP] Sense-like theme for Android 2.2.2

DOWNLOAD:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=99DF9YHN
contains framework-res.apk, lge-res.apk, android.policy.jar, services.jar
INSTALL:
to install you just have to use adb to replace your current files with these ones (/system/framework/) then change the permissions to 644 (chmod 644 [location])
id suggest doing them one at a time and rebooting each time. start with lge-res, then services, then the other two. i know it takes longer but at least if something goes wrong youll know what file it is.
most of it is based off of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952432. i changed some images and did a few other things to get it working with 2.2.2. ive tried it with LOL v1.4, lightv2, and nessy#c (it seems to be a little buggy on lightv2)
if you already have a power-menu you dont need to replace android.policy.jar as far as i know.
credit to the other XDA members as well (whos names i cant recall right now)

[Q] Bravia Engine???

Hey Guys!!
Any possible ways to port Bravia Engine to Defy+ ?
As i can see Bravia Engine has been ported to many devices...
I'm sure if it is possible, but it would be awesome for defy to have it!
Sony uses adreno/qualcom chips, so maybe that would be a hindrance?
I guess it should not be a problem, as i have seen they have ported to optimus2x which is a Nividia chipset and Desire S as well.
Lets hope our Devs will look into this !!!
As this is my first post. please Can some one assist or tell me how to ask DEVs whether they will be able to port this?
trick 1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380342
here is the original thread
copy the files to system\etc via root explorer and set the permissions rw-r-r
and add this to build.prop(located in \system) wityh these lines
#Sony Bravia Engine Service
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1
reboot does it make any differences ?
before doing this first download a high resolution pic and see it before carefully without applying any patch ..then apply this and then see the difference
and post here then....
i have applied the patch i can see my screen more sharp but i dont knw its actually true or not...
lets see what more users have to say
---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------
and then download any terminal emulator from market and execute this
su
busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_photo
busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_movie
busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_photo
busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_movie
to that own your own i dont knw will they work or not
If you are using cm7 try this instead
Ive attached the zip file to be flashed in CWM (Thanks to alzbac http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331391)
Then you have to manually set the permission and edit build.prop (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380342)
Reboot.
Honestly i dont see much of a difference so im not even sure if it working
No Bravia<-- --> Bravia

Guys, can this be done under DEFY+ stock ROM?
wow support you guys!!
Can this be done on 9, with defy+ kernel?... i mean to flash the zip provided

That zip wont work because it is specifically for cm7.
I tried the manual way on cm9 but it didnt work, i dont see any change

I can see...But it would be better if u attach two pics with same compression method (both .png or both .jpg, not one .png and one .jpg).
I used pics u attached and extract difference between them.
It was BraviaPic-NonBraviaPic, so it shows where BraviaPic is better.
As u can see...Not much, but it is

The best thing for you to keep it really simple and to avoid manual editing with apktool is to use uot kitchen
the Web address is http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
if you're not sure how to use it Google guides but as a general rule
make sure everything is set to ldpi
update script to galaxy
make sure you generate preview
and upload your SystemUI.apk framework-res.apk and if required twframework.apk

Hope you enjoy.

Remember the zip is ONLY for the paranoid android version,NOT anything else.
All other versions you have to modify your SystemUI.apk and replace the files yourself.
