It shouldn't be running on a custom rom at all. I'm not even sure if it would be running on a rooted device...

They clearly lie. Trevor showed the keystokes being logged.and them saying they dont sell your personal data to 3rd parties to me means they have some of my personal data. Tracking tools? lol, trevor said the location feature was turned off and it still logged his location. im not sure if he right but if he is thats another lie. And just as another ramble (if their research team reads this) i have to say the shady area surrounding this is whats turning this whole situation bad. Clearly they are hiding a rootkit.... just becuase you call a duck a chicken doesn't make so. a ducks a duck.
Either way, to hide this program and to make it unremovable, uninformative (of the true nature of the program), and the complete lack of opting out makes this program so malicious. its like carrier allowed spyware.******

I hope so. Im sure Verizon and other carriers know about carrier IQ. Without the option to opt out,that is stealing, personal information at that. Yetverizon doesn't want you "stealing" wireless tether. Seems they are allowing us to have info taken from us unwilling or unknowingly. I could be wrong who knows.
I'm running Gingervitus on the TB, does this automatically remove any Carrier IQ crap?
How come news outlets aren't picking this up? They made a big deal when Apple was logging information. Congress really needs to address information collecting through the Internet by private companies. Facebook, Google, Apple, Verizon, and apparently this Carrier IQ track our lives through the internet. IMO, it's an egregious invasion of personal privacy. A line needs to be drawn.

Josh top from theverge sent a tweet to vzw rep and they responded. They apparently don't use it. Well see how the tests pan out. I believe vz though. I can't see to many carriers blatantly violating peoples privacy like that.
