As the great and wonderful nosey company they are T-Mobile added their version of carrier IQ our phone. Having paid $600 dollars for my phone I feel I should get to choose what is and isn't on my device. All that being said T-Mobile seems to have been pretty sneaky at hiding carrier IQ deep in the settings and it doesn't really show up in most task managers. Even in titanium back-up I couldn't freeze it.
So you want it gone, well here it is.
You need a file explorer such as Root Explorer and then there are 6 files to remove.
Go to system/app and there are 3 files with carrier IQ listed delete all 3. ( Sorry I already deleted them so I don't have the exact name)
Delete IQ-tmobile-release-signed.apk
Delete IQToggle.signed.apk
( Sorry I already deleted them so I don't have the exact name of the 3rd if someone posts I'll update it)
Then go Data/Data and remove the 3 carrier IQ files.
Delete com.carrieriq.tmobile
Delete com.carrieriq.tmobile.IQToggle
I removed these with no issues, but as always do this at your own risk, I am not responsible for your phone.
Or you can simply just flash a stock d802 rom and not worry about it being wrapped up deeper into the framework. They did that by design.

How am I supposed to know? The NSA is gonna surveil all of us regardless of carrier iq being on or off. But if it's off it should be off.

I am not getting the international version to work. I'm sure its a simple fix, but its above my grade. I would love it if a dev would pick up this project.
TWC just released the app that will allow you to stream the live TV shows from your phone. I got really excited to watch Game of Thrones.
But when I try to launch the app. It says it does not run on rooted device. WTF?
What is the difference between rooted or unrooted device when it comes to TWC app?
I tried to unroot with root keeper to run the app with no luck.
Any suggestions or workaround to get it working?
Update: Thanks to b00sted now rooted users can benefit from Time Warner App

Same issue here. Rooted Hp touchpad running 4.0.4. When you launch TWC app and choose Live TV it will state "TWC tv is not supported on rooted devices"

I'm sure it will be in time. Timewarner lol..
confirmed here on Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Hope someone fixes this. You also have to have USB Debugging disabled, AND be on your home network (which means Road runner is also a requirement).
EDIT...
Turns out the TWC app only checks for the presence of /system/app/superuser.apk. A quick rename of superuser.apk and it works fine. A simple script can be written for this to toggle it.

Ah ok, cool.
If you use the app 'GScript' which is in the market, you can write a script and add a widget to your homescreen to execute the rename and to reverse it. Makes it real easy to go ba ck and forth.

just found this post as well, was looking for this over on the nexus forums.. I have the decompiled apk if someone can tell me what to nix I can recompile and give it a try for us.. Here is the decompiled apk. u will see in the smali files it talks about if root and if adb is enabled.. I just dont know what to really nix out of there withough completely breaking it.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22063477/com.TWCableTV-1.zip
Anyone else seeing ever so slight lag? Kinda like a jitter.. I'm wondering if this is due to rom/kernal or if it's just cause it's the first version.
Does this help?
:~/Downloads/com.TWCableTV-1$ grep -H -r "Superuser" ~Downloads/com.TWCableTV-1
~/Downloads/com.TWCableTV-1/smali/com/TWCableTV/androidphone/a/a.smali: const-string v1, "/system/app/Superuser.apk"
Thank you everyone for clarification. Some Driod-life members reported that clearing cache helps too. I have not tried it myself yet but it is worth a shot.
Quote from D-L: We have seen a user submitted tip that if you wipe the application’s data in your app settings menu, that could clear up the issue. It’s worth a shot, so give it a try if you have been having this trouble and let us know if it works or not.

I wonder if they've patched this already. I just tried, and it didn't work. Rebooted. Confirmed renamed APK. Cleared data in manage-apps. Still no go.
The only ICS devices I have are third-party (and rooted) ROMs.
Is there a problem if I have the superuser.apk file name?
renamed com.TWCableTV-1/smali/com/TWCableTV/androidphone/a/a.smali: const-string v1, "/system/app/Superuser.apk" to ****TimeWarner.apk and then renamed C:\Android\apktool\com.TWCableTV-1\smali\com\TWCableTV\androidphone\Login\Activities\SplashScreenActivity.smali an TWCHomeActivity.smali had root set to true so change the true to false and no luck.. I am shooting blind here so any help would be great
Looking forward to a fix.

So either after unlocking my bootloader or rooting my new HTC One, the HTC Torch app was removed.
Any reason why it would disappear?
Anyone have the apk so I can load manually?

You do lose these as unlocking the bootloader wipes the data partition adn they are in a particular location. I used the carbon app restore from this thread and got them all back

I could probably also pull the apks if I have time later.

Noob question apologies...
Both the odex and apk files are listed. Do I need both of these files or JUST the apk? (visualvoicemail) If I need both, how do I install the odex file?
Thanks!
Update: I tried the apk you posted and I still get to the xApplication not installed error.
What I did was, downloaded your apk, copied that into the system/app folder, made sure permissions were rw--r--r.
Rebooted
Went back to that apk and ran it as an apk, still got error.
Could it be because of the odex file?

If it is part of the app I mentioned you will cause the notification bar not to work altogether.
---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------
I just did a little research.
It is part of the systemui.apk program.
That application you can't freeze without the core functionality of the phone failing to work with it.
You will need to either find an xposed module that can do it and set that up (don't think there are any yet) or get a modified version of it and replace the one on the device.
