[CLOSED][XPOSED](1.0.2) Disable Carrier IQ Mod (CIQ) - G2 Android Development

Update:
I decided to close this project. Disable the Carrier IQ service is simply easiest and safest way than trying to hook service methods. I recommend to download Disable Service App and use it.
Original text:
I found the Carrier IQ client library inside framework files on my internation D802. Quite bad surprise as I thought such "feature" is usually in US-only versions.
com.carrieriq.iqagent.client is hidden inside /system/framework/telephony-common.odex.
Anyway, I don't like to have this code sleeping there and waiting for something to activate it. I didn't find any Carrier IQ service running on D802, but I simply don't like that LG put/left support for it there.
This Mod will hook these IQClient methods:
Code:
shouldSubmitMetric
reportKeyCode
checkSMS
checkWAPPush
These methods will always return FALSE, which I believe means do not submit or report anything.
Then this Mod will replace this IQService method:
Code:
onCreate
And make it simply call stopSelf();, which will stop it just before it even start.
You can download my mod here: Removed
If you are looking for other method to disable Carrier IQ on your device, you can follow freebee269 steps here.
1 March - Update:
Project closed.
10 Dec - Update:
AT&T ROM contain libiq_client.so and libiq_service.so native Carrier IQ libraries inside /system/lib and there is com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService library inside /system/framework/com.lge.core.odex. I'm looking into disabling the IQService now.
12 Dec - Update:
Added CIQ Service smali source code (from com.lge.core) and CIQ Client smali source code (from telephony-common) as attachment. Released version 1.0.2 with IQService detection and disabling.

Please try and launch it. Application will first detect if that library is present in your system. Then it will check if these methods are there.
Like I wrote before, I think whole Carrier IQ is working in AT&T ROM = D800 as it have native libraries in /system/lib/ folder. Other LG G2 versions without this native libraries have only support, but no service actually running. At least I could not see any similar service running on my D802.

Thank you, I know these libraries from other XDA forums, but I could not find it inside AT&T framework files as I need to know which methods they have declared inside. Anyway, do you have AT&T stock rooted version?

Well, sorry for confusion. That first part is only for detection of CIQ library. Maybe I should add some indication that Mod is already applied to make it clear. Anyway, enabling it is the last step, so you did well.

I just found that com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService is hidden inside /system/framework/com.lge.core.odex on AT&T ROM (D800). My D802 doesn't have such code. I will begin to look into disabling this service now.

another way you can disable CIQ on d800 is if you are stock rooted you can go to the play store and download an app called disable service. it's free and doesnt run in the background. open the app and swipe to the left to get to the system apps tab. then click on android system. inside android system, uncheck IQService. then reboot your phone. CIQ should now be disabled.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, there are multiple ways how to achieve that. For example your can execute few commands in shell to disable that activities. I know about that.
I'm trying to do it another way by using great Xposed framework, explore internal CIQ functionality and then disable it piece by piece. It's always better to have multiple choices.

Yeah, sure. I could do that tonite (original CIQ smali). There are so many threads about CIQ, but actually nobody post source code of it. It was trouble to get code of IQService as it is not present on my device. My current changes are in OP, IQService changes not done yet.

[Q]Is it possible to enable NFC at lock screen?

I love NFC and was hoping to use it a lot with the chips I bought. However unlocking the phone first is really stupid. Is there some way to enable NFC to work at the lock screen? So that the NFC unlocks it or something? It is kinda useless to me now. BTW I have root, but no recovery. I don't want recovery because of the triangle stuff.
why u dont just enable the NFC all the time? i dont think with NFC enable/disable the battery drain is noticable

I think you understood me wrong. NFC doesn't work when the screen is off/locked. That sucks, because I want to use it when coming home/leaving home and I really don't see the point in using this if I have to unlock it first.
Yeah,
Even the manual says it only works when the screen is unlocked.

I'm not trying. Also I just hope there is some way without recovery.
I really hope there will be an "official" way at some point.
If anyone is making a mod for this, maybe we can bypass the security concerns if there was a pop-up that requires you to approve the tag first, and be pre-approved for known tags. This way security is not compromised, and we also get the added convenience as well.

You can just extract the zip using something like rom toolbox, and then copy the files to there respective place manually, that way you don't need recovery.

Seconded, would love this for my note ii
I'm using this method which is for Note 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999569
Works fine. Have set up a few tags and using it with Secure Settings, NFC Task Launcher and Tasker to do a number of things without having to wake the phone up or unlock first.
The only issue is that if you put your wallet in the same pocket as your phone, it will beep when it scans the the NFC chips in the credit cards
The method replaces the NFC service file in the system directory so at the very least you need root access.

Edit: Kindly, today, dr.ketan told us how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36824840&postcount=1
All works for me, woohoo but whenever you use the browser or chrome, it crashes the nfc service
I'm experiencing that problem as well now. Also on launching YouTube service. It's annoying and makes it more inconvenient than having nfc screen off. There is another method through XposedFramework which is non destructive on the stock NFC.apk file. Might be worth a look?
www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/nfc-lockscreenoff-enabler.9/viewfile
But before that, I tried to restore my NFC to a non crashing version after doing the CWM method. I couldn't get my stock NFC.apk back, even with TitaniunBackup. Had to do a selective /system restore.

You've gotta try this!

I'm going to risk posting in the wrong forum in the hopes of getting some more attention on this app...MyScript Notes Mobile. I followed the instructions in this thread and am totally blown away by how functional it makes the Note II. This does require root and a custom recovery.

This app vindicates every hope I had for the S Pen. I can scribble a quick note and export the text straight into GTasks, or a host of other apps. I can write page after page and then convert just the parts I want straight into text by circling it. The management of notebooks and pages is simple and intuitive. I liked S Notes OK, but this is in another class.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHHO--XZlqM
The fun part of this is the fact that S Notes is made by the same company that made this app. There is also talk that this app may show up in the Samsung app store before the end of the year, so those of you that are unwilling to root may get a version of this app, too!

Follow the link to the video. The handwriting conversion can be real-time without writing in another area of the screen, or it can be converted later. I know it seems a small thing, but it is not.

Here's a Note2 safe version of the app to flash. The only difference is that the script is modified and rewritten to accommodate the file system of the Note2 as opposed to the Xoom, which it was originally written for. Basically, this version is tested and set up for the Note2 specifically.
I need a few of you guys to test it out before I post a thread for it. This app works 100% for me.
Removed download. Visit this thread to play with the work in progress.
Many thanks! Downloaded and flashing now. Comments to follow.

Installed fine, but the wheel that you use to convert text is missing. Actually, it is there, I just cannot see it. Also, the first couple of characters are a very heavy pen weight, but then it gets real thin.
Just backed up all apps with TiBu and planning on a factory reset to try again.

It's the same thing in the Xoom version. The only difference here is the script isn't formatting your caches to yaffs.
Factory reset did the trick. The wheel is back. The pen weights are still goofy, but it works just fine. I'll keep you posted, but it is sure nice to have the text wheel back.

[Q] Permissions management & protection

Hi
I've tried and looked for several apps to manage the app permissions: LBESM, Pdroid, XPrivacy and so on...
Some apps don't work correctly and others aren't compatible with AOSP 4.2.2.
I'd like to have your point of view to have trust app to manager the permissions and if possible (or another app) to identify possible malwares.
Atm the better one for Permissions mangement is "Permissions Management" available in my Rom and BitDefender Mobile Security for malwares.
Thanks.
PS: I know that several topics already deal with this subject but I'd like to discuss with fresh information and compatible (AOSP 4.2.2 + Note II).
I would recommend you to use ROM toolbox.
it has inbuilt auto start manager which helps you to manage permissions efficiently.
Thanks, I'll have a look soon.
What is the exact option?
Edit
I found it.
Other ideas ?

Removing T-Mobile Mobile hotspot

Does anyone know how to remove the stock Tmobile Mobile hot spot app? My Note 3 is fully rooted. I looked through many threads and no luck...there is no apk for it under system/aps
Download Titanium Back Up from the Play Store and search for it under "batch freeze". Just make sure you have just the hotspot checked or it will literally freeze all the apps in your ROM..

I have the same problem & it looks like the hotspot "app" is really just a link to the tethering menu (like louforgiveno was saying) & thus cannot be frozen.

Set knock code as unlock method, but the grid doesn't show on the lock screen, just the pin pad. Slide aside works.

Yup. Same thing. I could set the knock code in the settings but after locking the phone, it takes me to the pin screen and as it doesn't accept my actual pin, i have to enter 5 wrong pins to get forgot pin button and enter my actual pin to unlock the phone. And yes slide aside works.
Make sure you set permissions correctly before reboot.
644 = rw-r--r-- correct?

Are you saying that the screen can be awakened by knock? I thought that was a feature specific to Snapdragon 800 series devices and kernel related code was required to make it work.
No, it is purely an unlocking type - when you wake your phone a grid overlays that you tap based on the pattern you set up.

You copied all the apks to system\priv-app with rw r r ? I tried this too but same problem, knock code takes me to pin screen.

Did you actually set the PIN during the knockcode setup? Is knockcode selected as the unlocking function? It should work fine if you did set it up correctly.

Yup, i did set up the pin and the knock code was selected as lockscreen mode yet it still takes me to pin pad. The apks should be copied to system>app right?. First i copied to system>app as suggested by op, then i copied all 3 to system>priv-app as suggested by another member. Stil aint working though.

Yes. I did it by accident, changed permission and rebooted phone. Changed lock screen settings to knock code.

I really like the SlideAside feature. It's almost like a multiwindow feature like on Samsung devices, but saves screen space.
I haven't tried the knock code feature, but I'm going to pass on that anyway. I just have no interest in any of LG's "Knock" features. I mean, I might learn to like them if I had native implementation of them on my phone, but I think that even if I had the G2, I'd probably disable the features (assuming the power button is eay to press I guess)
.
@JaySee5:
Did you modify the files in any way to make the SlideAside option appear in the Settings?
If not, I'm wondering if the Jelly Bean Aspect Ration Correction feature can be ported into KitKat and still appear in the settings list. It was just a system file from what I recall. I'd try it myself, but I lost all my Jelly Bean backups. They were all on my phone and when upgrading to Kitkat, the internal SD got wiped.
(I really need this aspect ratio option back. I rely on some old apps that dont display correctly on my phone now).
I didn't do anything. This is other peoples' work. I just made a thread for it so everyone can find it easily.
Does the knock to wake work?

I'm just throwing this here:
After having Slide Aside working flawlessly for a full day, the app and system began crashing after about a day.
Slide Aside would crash if you try to add more than 1 app.
Settings would crash whenever you accessed a system-made apps list (I don't know how else to explain this). The only way to fix this is to factory reset the phone.
An example would be Settings>Apps
In fact, I was able to repeat this crash every time by going to Settings>Apps then scrolling over to "All."
If I scrolled down the list at any speed, Settings would crash at the exact same point.
Another example would be the apps list in Titanium Backup, which is not system-made. This means that the problem does not occur in this app,
I'm not sure yet if this is actually caused by SlideAside or GravityBox. The latest version of GravityBox (which I'm using obviously), has a changelog entry stating, "Fixed severe bug in AppPicker affecting ring targets/quick app tile icons." This COULD be the culprit, but I'm not sure yet. I'm currently debugging the issue though. I just factory reset the phone and updated GravityBox and don't have SlideAside installed. Everything is working as expected ow, but I'm going to give it a couple days to see if the problem happens again. If not, then I'll install SlideAside and repeat.

Oh ok. Thanks.
I still wonder if the Aspect Ratio Correction file can simply be copied to the system and have its permissions set correctly- no editing of the file's programming. Then maybe the setting will appear... Hmmmmmm

Just an FYI: This feature needs a special kernel to support it. There were some Jelly Bean roms that included a modified kernel, but they were only working on the E988, from what I remember.
Even those kernels weren't perfect though. People reported high battery drain.
