the g1 is a phone. and a music player. talk about this.

hey i know the whole OMG APPS2SD WE HAVE ROOT thing is big around here. but i dont have use for apps2sd at all. i have 14 apps and i change firmware like 9001 times a day when something new comes out. but i have 2gigs of OGG music files. and every firmware i have used ends up bugging out when im playing music and i get a notifacation with the usb headphone adapter connected. could we get a firmware optimized for music and enjoying it instead of showing off our rooted phones with no real use behind it. redirect this post if you need to. i know the whole "WRONG FORUM TOPIC LOCKED" thing happens alot here.

you can try the getting the EQ mod or the Max volume mod as well

would there be any use in me attempting to set up the sdk and pulling an all nighter to learn how to make my own NON BLEEDING EDGE but very stable release? cuz i would love to just have a stable phone with every volume thing and EQ pre installed. and that pesky sound service bug, dats gotta get fixed.

has preinstalled max volume, also a selection of the roms

You don't need the sdk to use the audio mods. Read a little bit more, and you will discover that you can use lucidrem's script to download the the audio mods without a pc. It takes a little patience,some time, and using the terminal. But it is easy if you follow the instructions. Also the developer of the audio mods also has several custom roms with the mods built in.
Edit. If you want a stable Rom use jf1.51, thedudes 1.2b you can add the audio mod on top of the using the bat files that comes with the audio mods

i'll try out *** - JF1.51 CRB43 US with V2 then. im used to using the terminal, its not a problem to mod my own, but being able to just quickly flash my phone back is too tempting. and @ubernicholi, i was meaning the sdk to build my own firmware as a whole. i assume its going to take me a while to understand why this whole multiple firmware bidness is a good thing, when its basicly taking all the newest unsupported code from the tree, and applying it and modifying it for the Dream handset, and in doing so, giving it 3rd party support. like downloading windows xp black pirate edition on TPB, to me its useless. ahhh the beauty of open source ^__^

why not go back to stock? it's not bleeding edge and it'll play your music just fine.
theres no shame in that.
wait. no, no...there is shame. terrible, terrible amounts of shame.

yea, but then i cant use debian. which is pretty cool so far.

lol I apologize I couldn't resist. So if a music centric build is what you are looking for, then it would be possible to strip out a lot of unnecessary features. First off, I think Google sync which is constantly running in the background can be taken out. Applications that are constantly refreshing, such as Mail can be removed. I understand you have apps to SD currently installed. Try internalizing the Music.apk, moving it back into the faster more reliable internal memory. Moreover, a good place to start I believe would be with the Google Ion build, which is lightning fast.

if i knew how to do that, i would slim down a stock JF update.

I think you should start out by flashing to Google Ion. Then, using ADB on your computer, enter ADB shell and being to manually remove the unnecessary applications. Whatever you don't need, take it out. As for Google sync, go to settings and disable it. Also in settings, disable notifications. At a point, you can even just turn off the radio and switch to airplane mode. That way no other services are running and you can listen to music uninterrupted, at the cost of not being able to accept calls.

wow, thanks for the support. i was looking at ION and thinking that it would be perfect. but im not really sure how to set up the development on fedora 11.

Ion FTW.
You set it up the same as you do on any other distro...
and...
what do you honestly do with debian on your phone?

As in on your computer? Are you running Linux or any operating system based on Linux? If so, unfortunately I can't help you there, I mostly use Windows and occasionally Wubi ):
(In all honesty I have very little knowledge when it comes to running Linux on a computer, so sorry about that haha)
I forgot to add, maybe increase your processor clock speed to 528Mhz. Look for an app called SetCPU. It is here on the forums for free, as the creator is among us or alternatively download it from the market, however it is a paid app on their.

if u use ion use R1 its faster than R2 in my opinion

i use um that overclock widget, i love that thing, works so well. umm. debian on my phone is pretty cool. it has potential. umm i might set this up and get a small release with just my name and roadmap on it.

Hmm.. looking at your signature, overclocking your PC, and even getting Debian to work in the first place, I think you are definitely capable and very experienced. Best of luck to you
Let us know if you are able to get that stripped down version of Google Ion working. I would do it, but I don't know how to resign updates and I just finally settled down on Haykuro 6.0.1 after a ROM struggle between JAC's Hero, TwistedUmbrella's Hero and JF1.51 where I was flashing a new ROM on a daily basis.

my only thing is my work ethic and lack of programming experiance. if anyone could help me get started. hell, i might actually post something in the android development outlining the project goals and stuff like that.

Wow, removing bloatware = WAY BETTER BATTERY LIFE!

After rooting my phone and using titanium backup (per erichss's suggestion) from the market to remove apps I'll never use, the battery life on my phone is better than anything I've ever experienced.
Yesterday I took it off the charger at around 10-11, then went to a food and wine festival in DC and took pictures and video and basically just used the phone a lot. Last night before bed (past 12) when I hooked it up to the charger, it said the phone was at 70%! I know it's only like 12 hours of use, but still, I DO notice a difference in the rate at which it goes down.
When I first got the phone, I would be getting the low battery warning around the time I got home from work after about 10 hours of being on, AND sitting at my desk for 8 hours in airplane mode since there's no service.
I don't know what exactly it was that I removed that had the biggest impact, but I did notice that when I went to settings>applications>running services I saw a lot of stuff I didn't even want. The 3g mobile hotspot app had a service running for instance, so did skype. Maybe the stock apps that had services running in the background are the ones that drain the most.

I haven't rooted my phone yet, but just from using various task killers I have noticed that there is a lot of crap running on this phone.
At first I didn't really give it much thought, but one day I checked my phone after it had been sitting on my desk for 3 hours off the charger and the battery read 70%. That was with the phone idle, black screen, doing nothing with it for 3 hours.
I need to get around to rooting it so I don't have to try and kill tasks every 15 minutes.
To make matters worse, it seems a lot of the bloatware randomly starts up too, even after you have terminated the process.

Yes, that's exactly right. These apps will start up and services will run in the background. That my verizon app had a data usage service I think. Voice commands (something I NEVER will use) had it's own service running as well before I removed it.
Rooting is fairly easy. The hardest part is setting up adb, but really all you need to do is add it's location to your system's path variable and when you open up cmd.exe you'll be able to simply run commands off of it.
Here's a good rooting guide for the fascinate http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...ent/79811-newbie-guide-rooting-fascinate.html
Good luck. Let me know if any apps stand out as being a major culprit.

could you formulate a list of what you removed?

agree here. I definitely need to remove more stuff. the RAM footprint is incredibly high out of the box.
is there a list going of confirmed bloatware/trialware that can be uninstalled by titanium, that won't brick the phone?

Or maybe a batch file that will get rid of them and our them back if needed..
Sounds easy enough.. Need that comprehensive list and locations of said files.. Need replacement files as I already used angels rom...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

well for example, there's a utility generated by the community for the Storm 1 called "Shrink-A-OS". This utility was what got me through two years of the storm 1. uninstalling all unnecessary languages, files, folders, startup items, etc etc - all by checking boxes. VZ utilities uninstalled with ease, even...
I'm on board so far with this Fascinate. the out of box experience has been DREADFUL, and in all honesty, the storm 1 did everything out of the box but entertainment. this phone is the exact opposite so far. I had to have gmail, to connect to the marketplace, to download an app.... to then get comcast mail. bluetooth barely works. GPS is spotty. there's trialware (hello CityID, go away), bloatware (hello verizon everything) and it needs a lot of work.
but I'm confident that when 2.2 hits, we'll be all set to go. when the first 5.0 OS was out for the bold, people were immediately porting what would work over to the storm 1. I'm surprised there aren't 2.2 builds for this phone already...

Sorry guys, I should have documented everything I took out.
Just look at what services are running in the background, and ask yourself which one of those apps you really won't use. For me, it obviously was something that had an impact on battery life :/
Speaking of which, I uninstalled my visual voicemail app, but now the button in the dialer that goes to it crashes the dialer whenever I press it. Can someone post this vvm apk?

Don't pull anything if you don't know what it does, or at least dont yell if your phone borks.
I've had no issues with these being done away with.

Does freezing apps in Titanium Backup provide the same effect as deleting them from the phone?

Actually I found I had the same files from a stock fascinate dump, so I tired them first. I have the same problem with my files and yours (look to be identical) - after copying all 4 into the \system\app folder, about 30 seconds later the phone locks up bad. Screen goes black, and pressing the buttons at the bottom light them up and they stay on, can't power off or get anything on the screen. Pulling battery and rebooting has the phone stay on the "Verizon" screen for like 30 seconds, and then it does the same thing/locks up....
Had to restore a Clockwork/ROM Manager backup to get the phone to work again.. Tried with just the VVMService files instead of all 4 and had the same result.
I also while I was running the stock ROM, had this exact same reaction trying to copy in the Clock APK/ODEX files... had to wipe the phone to get it to work again.
Any other ideas how to load these in? Just running the APK's say it can't install. Do they need to be "baked" into the CleanROM?

Yes, minus the fact that they don't save you any space.

Oh my God I'm so sorry! I had no idea it would have that reaction.
I moved them back into that folder and it was all done for me. Voicemail worked fine.
Let me ask you (I'm new) would doing a factory reset from the settings menu be the same as restoring the stock rom and all it's apps?

No. Nothing can touch androids /system partition (unless you root) & a factory reset depends on that fact.
A factory reset basically wipes everything that is user accessible, but /system ISN'T, so if you deleted files out of that, they're gone unless you Odin or made a Nandroid.

What would happen if I took the system/app folder from a fascinate system dump, and just moved everything back in?
See, with WM, stock apps and stuff were in the rom, so if you did a factory reset, you got all the apps too. I'm surprised Android isn't like this.

Well crap, the ea28 update has made it much harder to remove bloatware.
I THINK* I've rooted my phone with the DL09 method, because Superuser grants root explorer rights when before it would crash, but the bloatware can't be moved because it says it's read only!
Anyone get around this yet?

you got to mount the system/app folder as RW, this can be done very easily with Root Explorer

[ROM][BETA] EnergyExpressoXDA v2.2.1.0.022 12-11 (Sense 2.2,Smartass,Cache2cache)

This ROM is rather incomplete as it is part of a project to backport parts of other HTC Sense 2.2 (Froyo) MDPI ROMs in ordr to have an HTC based Froyo ROM for Eris. Unlike the CyanogenMOD ports which have provided versions for models of their Froyo ROMs which were much easier to work on the Eris and have had 5+ months of painstaking work where this is only on its first month.
I'm just trying to get the optimization aspects done while others get full hardware functionality working, although I may join them soon. So what works? Allot actually. What doesn't? Thanks to Tazz, Tenzo, Conap & Decadance not much (BT audio, camera and WIFI hotspot).
It is fully themed using a combination of contributions providing a clean and somewhat unique Expresso look as well as many common performance tweaks which, to me, have provided a smoother, less choppy feel when interacting with the UI when compared to its parent ROMs.
Please note that portions of this ROM fall under the GPL, Apache and BSD licences. You may find the details of these licences here.
Since I rarely use the camera and never used BT audio I am currently using this as my day to day ROM. That does not mean it provides me a full experience. It is still very bleeding edge.
Features
Fully Expresso Based Themed
Additional Eye Candy
Official Google Reader
OI File Manager (Open Source, Apache License)
No BT Audio, Camera or Wifi Hotspot
Speed Optimizations
All HTC Goodies
Cache2cache (over 100MB additional app space)
Smartass CPU Scheduler (less voltage, automatic sleep cap, etc...)
CPU overclocking & underclocking provided by the feature above
HTC Marketplace in addition to Market
DroidX Boot Screen
No lame rainbow spotted default BG
etc...
New in this Release
Put all stock HTC apps back
Improved stability (less random FCs)
Removed OI Notepad since HTC Notepad works just fine
Added 3D gallery in addition to 2D gallery
Added Car Home (not tested)
etc...

NOTE:
Before releasing more updates I am moving my efforts towards helping Tazz & Tenzo with core functionality and take what I can for that and help Kaos with Gingerbread. Once all core functionality is in place for this ROM's parent ROMs I will get this going as a serious ROM with the same focus it has now. So development on this ROM is still 100% active but it is gonna take a bit before you see a new release.

Moved to a much faster 8 x64 CPUs/32GB RAM/SCSI server at my colo (able to serve about 1GBPS).
Hope it helps, sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm going to give this a try also. I've got two micro sd cards... one for Eclair ROMs and the other for Froyo ROMs. The Eclair card is partitioned for apps2sd and the Froyo card is all Fat32. I'm currently running Tenzo's xtrRCMix-Sense2.1 which is pretty awesome, but I think its time to swich cards for a while!

I'm getting installation aborted when I try to install it. I did a complete wipe and boot in recovery.

I tired re signing the .zip file I downloaded and even that wouldn't work. I opened it in winRAR just to check and I get a break operation where it says unexpected end of archive and it says there are 0 bytes of data. Properties says its 120MB but I don't have a checksum to verify that the file is intact. It seems whatever was uploaded has been corrupted.

The archive is corrupt. Please re-upload it.

I downloaded it late last night and it took FOREVER! I see he updated the link... Anyhoo. I was able to get it to install and it seemed pretty smooth/stable. I saw a couple FCs.. one in particular was in Settings > Network > Mobile Net options. Each time I tried to get into that setting page, it would FC. I also tried to get Facebook from the Market and it would never download.
I like the new sense ui though! it looks really clean. I've not sampled Tazz's or Tenzo's yet.
No LWPs worked for me.

ROM Speed Test - CM7 variants on G1 / Dream

Searched for this, and found CM6 speed test results, but none for CM7 and if the kernels are different, options can be different, so results can be different.
I've tried various ROMs since CM dropped official G1 support, and they're all very similar, but I needed somewhere to document the settings that work best for me.
I only use Quadrant for my benchmarking. I feel it's well-rounded in its tests, it's free, and I get a seemingly completely arbitrary number at the end.
The best Quadrant score I can recall getting was 373, although I can't help but think I once got in the low 400s. I do remember trying every trick I could to get it into the low 300s, but I'm consistently getting 360's and peaking at low 370s with the current setup.
I'm currently running FireRat's CM7 Magpie, version 2011-09-26, which is only one version behind his latest as of this posting. I am running ADW Launcher as downloaded from market (because I like how its menu entries are arranged better -- that's the only reason). I have only 2 screens, and really don't even need that many.
Performance Settings Adjustments:
MENU / SETTINGS / CYANOGENMOD SETTINGS /
Code:
PERFORMANCE
CPU
ONDEMAND, 176, 614, Restore on boot=Yes
Compcache - 18% (Default)
NO JIT
NO DITHERING
YES PURGING OF ASSETS
NO MEMORY LOCKS
VM Heap=24m (default?)
My Micro-SD is a class 4, 4GB. Partitioned [*FAT32][~350M Ext4][64M Swap]
and I'm not using the swap partition AFAIK.
Non-performance settings adjustments:
(Really, I doubt any of these have much effect if any at all on performance)
Code:
Menu/Settings
CyanogenMod Settings
Application
*All left at defaults
Display
All unchecked except 0 and 90 degrees rotations
Input
Only change was long-press home, set to show 12 screens.
Interface
Edited my power widget to my liking. Doubt it has any effect on speed.
Status Bar Tweaks
Checked: All except Status Bar Brightness.
AM/PM set to small, Alternate Signal left at default (bars)
*Everything else in "Interface" left at defaults.
Lockscreen
Disable - unchecked
Style Options - Ring, Ring, Custom App Starter, added Camera, default background
Widget Options
Always display battery
Centered
No to the Music
Next Calendar (doesn't seem to work)
--All Calendars selected
--Reminders-Only not checked.
--Lookahead 3 days.
Unlock options -- All left at defaults (all unchecked)
No to the Gestures.
Finally, in MENU/Settings/Applications/Preferred Install Location, SD EXT is selected. In Applications/Development, USB Debugging is on (disabling it did not speed things up any) and stop-via-long-press is disabled (probably no effect).
I *am* running a theme, but since a theme is mainly just picture swaps (I think?) it shouldn't affect much. I'm running GlassMix. Not the coolest, but not bad at all. I rather like it.

The first ,i learn,thanks

Getting a quadrant score of 393 with 2.3.5 GRP CM7, overclock to 614 MHz, purging of assets on, and the disabling verify-bytecode hack. Fastest I have seen on a g1! I get 369 with normal CPU clock.

Might have to try this ROM out. When it first showed up, it seemed to be little more than a compilation direct from CM7 and AOSP sources, which of course anyone who can follow a HOWTO can do themselves... and many have. Back then, I felt this guy was just one more of those guys. I wasn't convinced he really had any developing experience before starting with it, and I really wasn't impressed with him personally, based on comments he made in several threads -- particularly against a known (if sometimes disliked) developer who has contributed a decent amount to the community. I'll have to go back and see what all has been done recently in this ROM if its performance is consistently good enough that the hack you mentioned worked so well (it made no difference on the CM7-Magpie I'm running).
EDIT: Nevermind, turns out I didn't know who I was talking about.. actually, I did know who I was talking about, it just turned out he was someone other than the person who actually started GRP so nevermind all this (read next two posts)...

The guy who made that rom was jbirdvegas, before he made it to the cyanogenmod team. If he made it into cyanogenmod team, he must have known what he was doing.

Oh, okay, then forget my last statement cus I was under the impression it was someone else entirely... maybe someone was going to make their own and started with GRP as a base... but the way I read this guy's posts, it looked like _he_ started GRP. Thanks for the clarification (I probably could have found this out if I had taken time to research the ROM, come to think of it... () )

i get 360s too

Its ok, i know why, you must think dw9906 made the rom, but he was just building the rom and posting it here because jbird gave him consent to do so since he was going to be unable to continue the rom since he was accepted to the CyanogenMod team. I'm not sure if he started GRP by himself, I think it was a couple of people who started it.
Also, i have one question for you, which rom FEELS faster for you, Cyanogenmod 7 Magpie, or ADS Magpie?
I noticed you used to run ADS Magpie and are now running CM 7 Magpie, and I'm just curious to know why.

Good info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uhm, honestly, they do FEEL about the same, which is why speed isn't the biggest concern for me. BOTH of them get laggy at times, and by laggy I mean two things
1) Sometimes scrolling through my apps drawer is blocky (not smooth).
2) Sometimes apps take a while to open, or, simply to do things.
Usually, 1) happens more frequently, but it doesn't bother me as my phone's doing a LOT of things.
2) However, doesn't happen that often on either ROM. However, when it happens, it's always after I've been running several different programs, especially maps with GPS enabled.
Usually, I have most of my phone turned off, so GPS, 3G, rotation, none of that comes into play in the list of things my phone is doing. If I had them running all the time, I'd be on FroYo or Eclair, not Gingerbread. The phone couldn't handle it. Or, I couldn't handle the phone.
In the end, the two are largely the same for me. The main reason I chose Firerat's over And DiSa's is that the Firerat ROM has CPU government built-in, where I have to have a CPU setting utility with ADS. Also, there was some thing or two else that Firerat/CM7 have built-in that ADS/ezGingerbread do not. Maybe the sound equalizer? Not that I run that too often, but it's nice to have.
EDIT: And you're right, I thought it was DW. Plus, you explained there why it must have seemed that DW just picked up someone else's work... he did! but I know now why, and I was missing that info before, so thanks again... Still didn't care for the interaction 'tween him and Firerat but that was something else (and yeah, FR isn't the easiest to get along with but I tend to let peoples' personalities just kinda slide -- usually -- especially in a text forum where tonal variations aren't heard ).

Want to get rid of Diagnostic.Client.Wakelock? Info Inside!

Wakelocks are the bane of battery life and ever since stock rom, there has been a single wakelock that for the life of my I couldn't shake.
Diagnostic.Client.Wakelock !!!!
This wakelock is brought up everytime in ROM threads only to be buried with answers such as drain your battery to empty and reboot, that fixes it!!!111
However the issue runs deeper. Remember the controversy a few years ago about spy software on our phones? Does carrier IQ ring a bell?
Ever since stock rom, as well as any derivations of the stock rom, I've always seen this wakelock with hundreds of wakes. No amount of googling helped until this week, when I stumbled on another thread about Carrier IQ. Our Note 3 has Carrier IQ in it and it's the source of Diagnostic.Client.Wakelock. Innocent looking name for a wakelock huh?
However the fix for it is quite simple really, remove any Android OS calls to any carrier IQ libraries/frameworks. Instructions:
1) You need Root.
2) Download System Tuner from the play store. I can't link urls as a new user but the play store link should contain this "details?id=ccc71.pmw"
3) In System Tuner go to "App Manager".
4) At the bottom filter your Apps by "System".
5) Find "Android System" in the list, and press "Open" at the bottom.
6) Choose "Details"
7) Go to the "Activities" tab and uncheck the following:
Code:
com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.UserPage
com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage
com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity
com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity
8) Go to the "Receivers" tab and uncheck the following:
Code:
com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.BootCompletedReceiver
com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.EnableTogglelmpl
9) Go to the "Services" tab and uncheck the following:
Code:
com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService
10) Reboot your phone.
You will never see Diagnostic.Client.Wakelock ever again. It's been 3 days for me and I'm on Firenote ROM and I dont see this wakelock showing up anymore. And the battery difference is very noticable. No more 1% drain while screen is off.
If you found this advice helpful consider buying me a coffee: Bitcoin Address: 1MXubhXjxCNGxzTLpRttgr6w1YWXQeo5ei
BONUS: If you want to cleanup after Carrier IQ consider removing its library files from /system. Voodoo Carrier IQ can tell you where they are located and deleting them gave me no problems: As a new user I cant link so google: "org.projectvoodoo.simplecarrieriqdetector"

Just curious what Firmware are you currently on with your AT&T Note 3 ?
I've read alot about Carrier IQ and there tracking way's and there company still denies what the software is truly intended to do..But nonetheless it's a invasion of privacy and I like your post...
I'm currently on 4.4.2 Dynamic Kat 3.2 and I did download Voodoo's app to verify if Carrier IQ exist...When I ran the test it came up with 0 hits (NO Carrier IQ)...Which is no where to be found in this Rom, But I used this app before on other devices and found it...

I'm using FireNote ROM v? not sure if it was version 7,8 or 9. Doesn't matter, because it's still a derivation from the stock rom, and I remember staying on Stock ROM for the longest time and not being able to get rid of this wakelock.
I don't know where 4.4.2 Dynamic Kat 3.2 originally was derived from, but if it was derived from stock rom, then odds are it will have traces of Carrier IQ. AFAIK tablet roms such as XNote should be free from Carrier IQ, because cell phone service providers only wanted to monitor your phone use and data mine your activity.
While Carrier IQ may not be fully active in the sense of sending actual data back to whomever designed it, it's still active as far as running on your system, hence the wakelock. Not to mention what kind of a bogus wakelock is called Diagnostics? Diagnostics of what, my mileage or disk space, or tethering use???
The easiest way to check for Carrier IQ is to run some of these Carrier IQ detection apps, OR manually browse the /lib folder for carrier IQ ".so" files. For the ROM I was on (FireNote), I found two .so files named carrier IQ:
DO NOT DELETE THESE FILES. SOME USERS ARE REPORTING A SOFT BRICK. However I assume booting into recovery you can readd these files from another rom.
Code:
/system/lib/libiq_client.so
/system/lib/libiq_service.so
Again it all depends on where your ROM was derived from, if stock, then yes you probably have it.
Edit:
Dynamic Kat is a stock THEMED Kit Kat rom based on the international build NC2.

Probably because the ROM is an international ROM and not US based, explains why there is no carrier IQ. WTF USA???

Thanks for the find. I have been experiencing this wakelock since the OTA in Jan/Feb. I had great battery life before the OTA. I tried almost all of the custom roms in this forum. The only one that did not produce these wakelocks was X-Note. I had assumed that result because it was an international rom. I also liked FireNote but got the wakelock.
This fix should let me try out AT&T stock based roms now.
Again, thank you very much.

Scanned my phone and it looks like the official KitKat is infected with Carrier IQ, but it's not active.

My awake time hasn't gone down significantly, but I'm getting more battery with the tweaks from OP.

Yeah since the root cause of Diagnostic.Client.Wakelock is coming from Carrier IQ, the only roms affected by it should USA based roms meant for cellphones. International roms or roms ported from tablets should not have this issue.
Although I haven't installed any KitKat roms it makes sense that it contains it, and also that XNote which was ported from a tablet does not have this issue.

I just used this instruction last night and no more battery drain from client wakelock. Thx op

Yeh, I give you credit Netrunner157...Not many users are even aware of this wakelock....Good Find Bro.. :good:

Very strange...I used several apps to detect "Carrieriq" Every app I tried said there were NO TRACES Of this wakelock (Spyware)...But I decided to use your method and look through "System Tuner" and sure enough it's there...I posted a pic above showing no traces...But it's inaccurate for me..Because it exist in the Android System...See pic below...

Indeed. The System Tuner software shows how stealthy the CarrierIQ software is, hiding within the main Android System process. I am quite glad to have it deactivated. Nasty piece of garbage.

Also don't delete the libiq because if you do and restart the phone it will get stuck on the att logo

These tips were fantastic! I was on the NC2 bootloader so I just was able to have root yesterday. I applied these changes re-booted and then guess what, it indicates that I am now custom. LOL! BFD! Thanks for the tips, much appreciated!

Just pull the lib files from a zipped ROM put them on microSD card go to recovery mount system and go to advanced file manager and copy the files over then fix permissions

Heh, I actually posted this back in may and in a reddit thread, after finding out about the carrier IQ process in the LG G2 forums.

Not only did it get rid of the wakelocks, but I no longer have GPS disconnect issues.

Are you by any chance using the Xposed Disable Location Constent module? I occasionally lose GPS while using maps, and have to toggle GPS on/off/on from the QuickTiles occasionally and I wasn't sure what that was related to.
So Carrier IQ was probably polling for GPS and breaking it?
What other tweaks do you have for removing other wakelocks, or other improvements? It's good to see people researching the same issues that one can solve.

Now for some reason System Tuner can't open my Android System process...
Anyone have any ideas about that?

Very Nice!!!!!....Thanks a lot!!...Usually my battery drain is higher overnight..if I leave it at 90% before sleep I used to have 50% in the morning. I applied this wake lock fix and slept with 61% baattery and in the morning I still see 55%...Woww!!...I have almost 100 apps installed
