No (Desire, cm7.1)
- jonursenbach 15y agoCyanogen stated a few days ago that CarrierIQ has never, and will never, be in their roms.
- tanelpuhu 15y agoYes, I'm was aware of it. And I really tested it with "Voodoo Carrier IQ detector", also mentioned here in comments, just when it was released - install count was less than 500 - yesterday or day before - just before CM announced that they don't have it.
- Estragon 15y agoThis scandal was the trigger for me to finally root my phone and install CM.
- 101001010101 15y ago"trigger for me to root my phone" I think this is the most sensible response. I imagine that there may now be a market for smartphone "rootkit detectors/cleaners/etc" but that path is about as sensible as the PC "anti-virus" industry. It will not solve the problem and inevitably people's trust will be abused by some bad actors. In my opinion users need to be more involved in or at least aware of the boot process. They should be able to ascertain what is running on the device. There is no way for a consumer to retain full control over her device if she ignores the boot stage(s)... unless she can absolutely trust whomever is controlling them for her.
