I am rooted and running myns as of now, and do not see the htc loggrs apk, while i ran treve's app and saw some info, it was all 0kb so it is at least worth looking

I went through and set the permissions to the logging folders to no permissions and deleted all the files inside them just to be sure.

/sigh HTC, why do you spy?

This is quite annoying. As someone who does not necessarily choose a phone simply by brand, I'm seriously considering moving away from HTC if they are this careless. The spying part, fine. if you have to spy, then spy. Just secure the damn phone!
