Root Ciq strip down

[hipster]

first off let me say I have in no way have made this program. I am just passing it along to all of you. A guy over at xda-developers.com has made this. He goes by the name of "whitslack". basically what this will do is strip out all files associated with ciq. This file is for people running sense based roms or running a rooted stock rom, or heck even if you are on an AOSP rom and are just plain freaked out still. if you would like to make sure you are clean just go ahead and download this zip:RemoveCIQ.zip

after you do so reboot into recovery and run it. it will tell you what it is taking of as it is doing it. if interested before you download here is the code:

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

ui_print("Removing Carrier IQ..."); 
ui_print(" /system/etc/[URL="http://iqprofile.pro/"]iqprofile.pro[/URL]"); 
delete("/system/etc/[URL="http://iqprofile.pro/"]iqprofile.pro[/URL]");  
ui_print(" /system/bin/iqd"); 
delete("/system/bin/iqd"); 
ui_print("  /system/bin/iqfd"); 
delete("/system/bin/iqfd"); 
ui_print("  /system/lib/libciq_client.so"); 
delete("/system/lib/libciq_client.so"); 
ui_print(" /system/lib/libciq_htc.so"); 
delete("/system/lib/libciq_htc.so"); 
ui_print(" /system/lib/libhtciqagent.so"); 
delete("/system/lib/libhtciqagent.so"); 
ui_print(" /system/app/HtcIQAgent.apk"); 
delete("/system/app/HtcIQAgent.apk"); 
ui_print(" /system/app/HtcIQAgent.odex"); 
delete("/system/app/HtcIQAgent.odex"); 
ui_print(" /system/app/IQRD.apk"); 
delete("/system/app/IQRD.apk"); 
ui_print(" /system/app/IQRD.odex"); 
delete("/system/app/IQRD.odex");

if you find this useful make sure you head over there and click the thanks button or throw him a couple bones, after all he did just save your arse and privacy .

I tried it out. It does work. It is a script not commands

 

[argedion]

Scripts are a list of commands.

It looks like there was a lot of discussion on that Xda thread that there was more to CIQ than this script gets rid of.

Nothing agaist this script, and thank you for bringing it to us, but I think its probably worth giving TrevE (the guy who discovered CIQ) a dollar for his solution.
