I was wondering if anyone knows if Carrier IQ (Spyware) is installed on a "stock" HTC Flyer?
For those that don't know anything about Carrier IQ, here's a link: news.yahoo.com/smartphone-spying-204933867.html
I guess its the Google Logger or HTC Logger?!
but its removable anyways

You can buy the key for $0.99 from TrevE here, and install the app from TrevE here. It'll tell you if you have it, and the key will let you remove anything that's there. Worth the $ for sure.

I bought the license for my E3D, I'll test it on the Flyer this evening and let y'all know how it goes.
You need to be rooted for that Trev program to work though right?
YES

Can someone with a rooted best buy, wifi-only flyer please run the free app from TrevE to see if carrier IQ is installed?
Here is a link to the free app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17612559&postcount=110
The $0.99 pro version just makes it a one click process to remove/ disable carrier IQ, htc loggers, and various other security related things.
In terms of CIQ, the app did not find it to be present. But it did see the other logging features were active. Since I had bought the license, I attempted to remove logging features and it worked.
I have a Best Buy Wi-Fi only Flyer and I'm currently on the HC leak that globatron provided.

SO i just got a GSII for xmas and I want to pass down my old phone to my children so they don't bug me to let them play with my new phone all the time
Can anyone create a rom package for me that would allow them to only get on wifi, play games, and surf the internet?
If not can anyone give me some instructions for how to disable calling and data all the time?
Thanks,
when the phone is deactivated it can no longer make calls or use data. It will only be able to use wifi to do everything you need. Its like an iPod now.

Deactivated phones can still dial 911... That may be an issue for some people.
I know on the Eris forum, someone came up with a script to disable the CDMA/EVDO raidio and the dialer app.

I can make a rom. Just pick the rom that you want (MIUI.US, cm7, cm9, etc., or even stock)

xboxfanj - I'd like to do this also. The ROM version doesn't matter to me. My daughter wants to use the phone as a media player. If you're willing to help out with this, THANKS A MILLION in advance.
Please let me know if you need anything from me.

Miui or touchwhiz is ideal for a children. Cyanogenmod is too advanced and or ugly looking.
I have 2 that I am wanting to do this with and would love this!!!!!
Why couldn't you just use root explorer to remove the phone.apk
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I think that might mess up the market access...
You can also put a PIN on the phone functionality. Not sure if this only applys to GSM phones, but under security - there is a Set up SIM card lock.
Edit: hmm yeah, don't see it on the fascinate.

Just got new phones for me and the wife. I've figured out how to do it on my old X, but still having issues with the wife's old Fascinate. Anyone come up with anything for this yet?

easiest way to do it would be to deactivate it and then either use a custom launcher to hide the apps, or get a locking app and password protect the phone and whatever else app. then you don't need to have a custom rom or anything and you still know the password if you did need to access those apps in an emergency.

Why not just put it in airplane mode that's what I did on my old log ally now wife and kids play games on it

Has anyone got Google Wallet to work on AT&T using the International I9300?
I have the app installed on my CM9 ROM but I get the "Not Supported" error when opening , saying it is not been certified with this device or carrier.
Any help is appreciated.
I have the international version, was wondering if there's any way to get GW working yet.
I read in another thread somewhere on here there is a modded version of gw that should work on other carrier phones. I haven't looked into it since I have the US sprint version. If I remember right the app might say your device is unsupported but will still work. (The modded gw app won't do a region/device check.) It was something like that. I would search for it on here. I hope this helps. If it does it would be nice to know just for future knowledge.

wondering about the same issue
I have it working on cm9 and att but you cannot use the one from market. Instead head over to nexus forum and find a link to it there in general discussion section.
☞ sent from my GS3
I have it working on my S3 as well. If you want to use it on something other than cm9 tho you need the latest official rom(LFB) then get this modified version of wallet http://www.modaco.com/topic/354635-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet-apk-11-r67-v12/.
Um...i may be paranoid, but don't you wonder about using a modified APK that has access to your money? I mean, is it guaranteed to be save and not maliciously modified.
You can wonder the same about aftermarket keyboards, accessibility apps 7, Roms, or root applications.
They all have access to the data.
That's why you should only use apps by trusted developers.

I was wondering if anyone out there is working on a port of Google Now for the Rezound ICS.. Would love to be able to run this on my pgone, just have no clue how to port anything.
On a side note is anyone working on a JB rom yet either?
last I checked it's not compatible for us. I believe it's strictly for 4.1 cause of the API level unless someone cam.correct me. since you didn't read and search much you could have answered your JB question easily. we don't even have a full stable aosp ics rom yet alone kernel source so JB is a longshot for now
i think it possible indeed
if you will look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvqSR13gpGk this is a review of android 4.1 jelly bean running on galaxy s3. when he tried to open google now, it's showed a message: "google search stopped working". what's mean, that google now is google search application on the android 4.1. what it only need to be, it's get the google search apk from jelly bean rom of galaxy nexus, get the apk code (this is how to get the code of the apk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocVGRtjuD-g), and with the code make an application for the ics and try to install. according to this logic, this very simple to port google now for ice cream sandwich, even gingerbread. i wish this is how it conducted. if yes, it's mean google now for everyone
---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------
and after it will succes, developers will can add google now some sources of the siri like applications that develop until now like iris, skyvi, mira, s voice and more, to make google now to answer for questions in cards that if we asked her now, google now will take us automaticly to search results. and then, google now will be the ultimate voice assistant. she still can't answer like that like siri. but after that, google now will destroy siri once and for all!

Tried searching, all I have right now is my phone (no computer currently), which makes filtering/narrowing down a search more difficult. Not necessarily saying aosp, just a developer implementing parts of jb into a current rom for the rezound. Mainly notification inhancements, keyboard, and of course Google Now (if any are possible at this time)......

Someone pulled it from jellybean. It works aside from voice and wifi. Better than nothing I suppose. I tried it and confirm that it partially works.

Did you have to do anything special? I am on rls 3.1.2, but I do not see that file that I am supposed to rename in the system/app directory? No idea why, ut it is not in that directory or anywhere on my phone. (GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk)
Edit: Nevermind. Gave it a shot, and it seems to be working fine.

I'm not sure if you were still trying to get this to work, but I since no one put this answer in this thread, I will.
This voice workaround works pretty nicely. Basically, you replace the search widget with the google now widget, then use ICS's speech to text and push it into the search box for google now.

Have fun!
FYI guys its updated by a user named lenny_kano.. They haven't updated the OP with a new apk, but if you look at the last 10-15 pages you can find the hack and slash method.. Essentially- it works perfectly. Native voice and all (she even reads back the results to you).. pretty freakin awesome.
Flashable Zip
Thanks to fellow Rezound user udz2002, here is a link to the flashable zip that he posted.
Sadly the box account is out of bandwidth. Would be nice if someone who got it , could upload it. Thanks in advance.
I followed the directions in the thread and it worked the first time.

Yes but it works on the Nexus so there should be a fix soon.
A few other things to note:
1. No blocking mode (that I could find)
2. Fewer apps on the multi-task bar

I've been with vzw for years but WTF is it with them lately?
First they remove the headphones seen with other versions of the same device.
No blocking mode? Why I really wanted that. I thought this was a jelly bean feature and not a phone feature?
Stupid Wifi constant notifier? WTF for?
Fewer apps on tasker...serious? again why?
I realize alot of this will probably be rectified with Root but it shouldn't be necessary.

Not really. They made it unavailable from the Play Store. You can side load it and it will still work... trick is finding the right APK.

There won't be a flashable zip because you have to change versions to get it working. The best you will get is an executable script that pushes the files and then you have to do stuff yourself and then it will push more files. Viperboy (I believe is his name) has one on Sprint N2 forum.
