I'm rooted and running mik froyo if it makes a difference.
Thanks
As much as I like those roms (on CM now), those roms actually have the rare chance of creating bootloop issues (as seen in other threads). No one's really sure if it's the roms or just a strange software issue...MIUI or Cyanogen as AOSP is the safest way to go.
^ but do the old 2.2 mik roms? I would guess they do, but as this (CIQ) was really brought up in the past week it might still be in there.
I'm not familiar enough with mik roms to know 100% about this.

Oooooh, ok.
Dood, boot to recovery and make a nandroid of your setup.
FLASH MIKG!!!
Try it out, I'm tellin ya, you'll like it. If not just restore your nandroid and we'll look into getting mik froyo cleaned out for you.
I'm sure I'll like MIKG. It's just that there's a few apps that I make use of on a daily basis and I can't risk losing the data, or worse yet, having it and not knowing how to restore it. It's going to take me a few days to make the time to back everything up and be sure I can restore it.
In the meantime here's what I did. After reading the first few pages of the thread that just some dude posted, thank you by the way, I started experimenting.
I used titanium backup to freeze 2 of the 3 apps that were mentioned on the first page. I couldn't find anything in the titanium directory that resembled the 3rd.
So I tried that. Lookout said I still had carrier iq. So then I backed them up and deleted them. Then I lost service. Then I tried restoring the backups which didn't work. Then I panicked. Then I rebooted the device. I had service again. Checked lookout and still had carrier IQ. I tried freezing "htc future dial" because it had the same icon as the other carrier IQ apps but it didn't change the lookout result but hasn't had any detrimental effects that I've noticed yet either so I haven't thawed it. If anyone thinks I need to thaw it please let me know why.
Next step is installing MIKG but that takes prep that I don't have time for yet.
Thanks for all the interest and help.

just use tb to backup your apps and data. and then use sms backup to backup your texts. and flash away. also do not forget to make a nandroid backup before doing so.
UPDATE: there are two files you need to freeze .comHTCIQagent 2.2 and IQRD 2.2
Update 2 Thanks to Graphics Anomaly!
In case anyone is going to try this, here are the steps again:
1 - Use Root Explorer
2 - Go to "/system/[COLOR=#F8941D ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=#F8941D ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]app[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR]" and delete (or rename) "IQAgent.[COLOR=#F8941D ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=#F8941D ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]apk[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR]" & "IQRD.apk"
3 - Go to "/system/bin" and delete (or rename) "iqd" & "iqfd"
4 - Boot into recovery, clear cache and dalvik, and reboot.
5 - Done...no Sprint/HTC tracking crap.
UPDATE 3 Thanks to Bacidath for the original tip and Graphics Anomaly for confirming!
/system/lib
libhtciqagent.so
libciq_htc.so
libciq_client.so
UPDATE 4 run this script in terminal
rm /system/lib/libhtciqagent.so
rm /system/lib/libciq_htc.so
rm /system/lib/libciq_client.so
rm /system/etc/iqprofile.pro
rm /system/bin/iqfd
rm /system/bin/iqd
rm /system/app/IQRD.apk
rm /system/app/HtcIQAgent.apk
rm /system/app/IQRD.odex
rm /system/app/HtcIQAgent.odex
rm -r /data/data/com.htc.android.iqrd
rm -r /data/data/com.htc.android.iqagent
Remove those files to get rid of all IQAgent in the ROM. Graphics has confirmed that there are no issues with removing those files & his Evo is working fine.
I've had trouble with tb before. For example today I supposedly backed up those IQ apps and then when I tried to restore them tb just told me they were being restored but never finished the process. I had to force quit tb.
THis is from the link posted by "just some dude."
I did "update 1."
But carrier IQ app said I still had the software so I explained how I supposedly removed them with tb but when I did "update" 2 they were still there...
Then did "update 2"
I haven't done update 3 or 4 yet because I don't quite understand what to do with 3... maybe I'm supposed to create that file and add those lines?
...and I haven't done 4 because I haven't motivated enough to feel like typing all that.
Thanks again for all the input...Oh and granite I've been around and posting. I have at least 1 or 2 unresolved threads if you haven't seen them.
That all does seem like quite a bit of work... so instead I'd really like to try, like others here, and steer you to upgrade to MikG. If you're really worried about your app data, back those apps up with both titanium and MyBackUp Root just in case (you can always delete the extra backups later), nandroid your current setup, and flash MikG (I'd recommend v3 - read the OP here). I've never had a problem restoring the data from the few apps I want to (a few games and folder organizer) -- just, as I'm sure you know, stay away from restoring system apps and/or system data, and you'll be fine.
Seriously, it will be a lot less headache than trying to go through all that with Mikfroyo... MikG is fast, uber-stable, and Mik dug DEEP to rip as much of that CIQ stuff out as possible. Just go for it.
And then if you just HAVE to have a Sense 1.0 rom, I'd definitely recommend Tommy's Classic v0.0.5 b3 (again, UBER-stable).
Edit:
I just re-read your post, and see I missed one of your concerns with TB -- I see you were having trouble restoring the IQ apps. Not sure why you wanted to restore them, but they are system data, which I would think could cause more problems than just downloaded apps.
I tried to restore because after the delete I had no phone service. I was trying to restore them in a panic. When that didn't work I ended up rebooting and clearing the caches and everything was AOK.
I know I could probably find this with a quick search but if anyones reading this and has an easy way to save my "bookmarks" or internet favorites I'd appreciate it.
How do I remove it from an HTC EVO 3d? I tried Eckharts latest download, but my Sprint phone stops it with some kind of parse error.
I don't know where it is exactly, but I saw a link that had a lot of files related to CIQ, and if you could find that, then issuing this commandHow do I remove it from an HTC EVO 3d? I tried Eckharts latest download, but my Sprint phone stops it with some kind of parse error.
cd /
ls -R | grep "iq" # finds all instances of "iq" in the file name,
#that way you'll know what files you still have to get rid of .
find . -type f -name "CIQ" -exec rm -f {} \;
# will find and remove all files with 'CIQ' in the name...
find . -type f -name "*iq" -exec rm -f {} \;
#same but with 'iq'
