Hi everybody, I have posted this question here previously.

I have this question because of the privacy concern of carrier iq logger (yes, i understood that we are cm7 based and cm7 is free of carrier iq logger). However, until I read this thread by TrevE and run his tool to check any potential logger on my phone.

The tool detected htc_ebdlogd (located in /system/bin) and some other things as loggers. More surprisingly, this file presents in cm7 and almost every cm7 based ROMs (well, I checked all my downloaded cm7 based ROM and they all have this, strange as I presume CyanogenMod uses all non-htc stuffs).

So I am curious to know what is it. It is a binary file and I checked with a hex editor, but still I couldn't figure out what is it and what it does.

Does anyone know anything about it? Any comments will be much appreciated.

(really hope to get some responds) :(
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
OK, I just did a 'repo pull' and rebuilt, but it's the same as before. The bootsound only plays if after you use ICETool to turn it on. So, it is not worth posting a new KANG... yet.

EDIT: I'm wondering if the bootsound file needs to be in system/bin when the ROM is built because once the ICETool creates that file it works. So if it was there from the beginning I think it would work.
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
hey there.

here is the boot sound in a flashable file, for those, who want it.

btw, anyone an idea about the download/upload animation?
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
it has to work, because the files that be installed, are normally in the same folders in the zip files. otherwise, alienmind had to write a script that is huge as hell, to place each file separatly in the destination folders.
[Desire HD Android Development] mrbubba999:
Quick question but what is a kang?
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
It's always possible I made a mistake, but the scripts are actually quite small so to create them from another script is not that big. The boot sound is not being created, it's always present, it's just a matter of having the script play that sound during boot. For some reason it requires enabling it with ICETool.

Anyway, I need to sleep now. If there is some news in the morning I can try 1 more build before going to work...

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

It's just an unofficial build. It also means that the person that built it did not create all the code, someone else did. If I build something and tell everyone it is a KANG it lets them know I'm not taking credit for it.
[Desire HD Android Development] mrbubba999:
Oh I see, will check it out later (struggling to get blackice to flash the last couple of days)
[Desire HD Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
I hate for you to feel ignored, but I have no idea about this. Cyanogen said CIQ isn't in CM, which was good enough for me. Other than that...anyone else?
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
No worries we are all learning. What is the problem with the animation? I probably don't know how to fix it, but...

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

This is only my guess, but if you look at that file with a hex editor the info inside of it looks like it is related to LOG.D support. I'm not a Java programmer, but I've looked at some Java parts of CM7 and you don't just use a printf to output information on the phone, you use LOG.d or LOG.e, etc. Some of that is for dumping debug info from the kernel.

It seems like that file is related to supporting that debug output, but like I said, that is just my guess.

i posted that yesterday. just wondering, why my icons, i created are not displayed. thought, it was my fault, but tried a littlebit, and figured out, that there must be a prob with some files in the rom. at other roms, it works fine.

want to find out, wich sys app is corresponding with framework to show the animation, because the xml files in BI framework are ok.
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
chezbel, are you talking about the mystical magical radio+ril+kernel combo that we discussed in the CM7 nightly thread?

my most recent battery test had crazy good results. I got a drain of about 0.3% per hour overnight!

The setup is:

Kernel: LordModUEv8.6-CFS-b5

Radio: 26.09.04.11_M2

RIL: 2.2.1003G

and this is using chezbel's latest kang

obviously radios are different for everyone in different locations so don't expect this to be perfect for everyone. but chezbel has said that he got a good result as well, so it might be worth a look if anyone is interested
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
Maybe you are not properly flashing the radio. ADB is not used for that, use fastboot instead

Go to bootloader, push the new radio with fastboot flash radio radio.img
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
That is my (former) configuration too, really really good battery life... at least in my area
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
but also make sure you're ENG S-OFF or it won't work
[Desire HD Android Development] devilrex:
Please mod topic title in 1.26 ;)

[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Yes, that's the combo I meant. For me its closer to 1% per hour, but that's still reasonable.
[Desire HD Android Development] harrehk:
So you don't have to flash that radio to achieve similar results?
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
Same setup gives me better signal and awesome battery life.

Kernel: LordModUEv8.6-CFS-b5

Radio: 26.09.04.11_M2

RIL: 2.2.1003G
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
well what I was saying is that this 3-way combo has given me amazing results, but don't be surprised if you don't get the same amazing results because radios can behave differently in different locations.

but having said that, it seems that a few others have had pretty good results too so if you're ok with flashing radios give it a try and see how it goes!
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
The trouble is that the same configuration of radio/ril does not always work the same for everyone especially in different parts of the world. Although the combination mentioned in the above posts seems to be working pretty well in several places (e.g. Taiwan, Australia, Spain...).

In the past I've had very good results with several combinations of radio/ril/kernel. Although for the last month or so my drain became very high (and I'm not sure why), which is why I experimented with going back to the older recommended radio.

It's really a matter of personal choice whether you experiment with radios. If it's working fine for you then there is no need... of course a lot of us here are flash addicts and just like to experiment.

EDIT: @Maatsby, this time you stole my thunder, LOL (I should have refreshed my browser before posting)
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
awesome! it looks like we're on to a bit of a winner here :)

lol, your post was more in depth. and you're right, we're sort of building a world map here. It might be helpful if anyone else has had good results to post where they are in the world
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
1.26b1 is a beta. Can't test latest KANG myself so it stays on 1.25 until... read below...

I think that:

- If bootsound is fixed

- Notification LEDs are back to normal while receiving emails etc on latest CM code (can anybody confirm this?)

- Some inspire4g user confirms that new beta kernel is working fine for him...

- Chez agrees to build a new BI with signature changed to 1.26b2

Then we have a new official beta and I'll upload to download folder and change the thread title
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I think that is a good plan, although another thing to consider is what CM7 build do we use as our base? The last ACE nightly is #260 from Nov 16; however, my recent KANGs have included all the merged changes since then. I guess the 2nd choice is OK since this is another beta build... does that seem reasonable?

@alienmind: I'm pretty sure I got all the BlackICE changes from git, but the bootsound still only works after manually enabling it with ICETool. If you have any other ideas please let me know or just add updates to git.

It's not worth posting another KANG untill there is anything new to build.
[Desire HD Android Development] tjfoo:
Thanks. No CIQ is good enough, I agree this fully but I can't stop my curiosity - still eager to know what are they and what they log.

I see. I understand this is your guess. Do you think this may pose privacy concerns?
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Honestly, I don't know...
[Desire HD Android Development] tjfoo:
May I know where did you obtain the 2.2.1003G RIL file? Could you provide a link? Thanks :)

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

I think if you use PD89IMG.zip radio files (which can be found here), then you don't need ENG S-OFF. Just put the file in SD and reboot into bootloader.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Are you using BlackICE? If so they should already be on your sdcard in the directory blackice/rill.

In case you still need the link you can find all the G-RILs here

[Desire HD Android Development] tjfoo:
Oh, it should be in my other SD then. Thanks. :)

LOL. btw, will @name works? I am pretty new to XDA forum and wondering if there is any kind of notifications system (new comments/replies, etc)?
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
Haha you got in before me this time chezbel

You can use the fantastic app icetool to easily switch between ril's, but yeah you'll need the sd that has the blackice folder
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
@name makes it easier to see that you are talking about a person or to that person. At least that's what I use it for. Otherwise it gets really confusing to tell the difference between something like "a user" and "@auser" ... ha ha

[Desire HD Android Development] tjfoo:
Hi all,

I have some noob general question regarding radio and ROM:

Is that possible that one includes a radio in a ROM? If not, why not?

Why radio should be flashed in bootloader (fastboot or use PD89IMG.zip) and not in recovery?

Could anyone answer that? Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I think it is possible, but not desireable. Look at the top of this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295

It mentions a potential issue if you do not have Radio S-OFF (different from S-OFF). So it would seem safer for a ROM not to include a radio.

Also, since people in different parts of the world are using the same ROM some of them may not be very happy if it changes their radio to one that has poor signal and sucky battery life.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Here is today's BlackICE KANG that fixes the bootsound so it plays automatically by default even on the first boot after flashing this KANG.

I built this using the very latest CM7 source code, which has the following updates since last time:

Preference to disable bootanimation for faster boot. (1/2 CMParts) (android_packages_apps_CMParts)

zeppelin, morrison: Add missing comma (android_vendor_cyanogen)

Remove note about Plus Account when adding Hotmail or Live account (android_packages_apps_Email)

Preference to disable bootanimation for faster boot. (1/2 Framework) (android_frameworks_base)

Dialpad : T9 Dialer (android_packages_apps_Contacts)

Fix usability of swipe-to-clear feature. (android_frameworks_base)

Everything else should be the same.

Had force close when install htc ime on icetool...is it only me?
[Desire HD Android Development] Colpophage:
This happens to me also. At first I couldn't get icetool to install HTC_ime or nexus Swype, now, even though the install works from icetool, they both fc repeatedly. Not a deal breaker at all for me as far as this ROM is concerned. I assume the Swype issue is that I already had a Swype installation.

[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Cool... I just have to learn how to update Post #3, I'm sure it's easy...

EDIT: Oh, I see, you set up Post #3 so I can use "Edit Post"

A few people have mentioned issues in which changing kernels seemed to help them. If there is agreement that a particular kernel is better I can build a KANG using that kernel, but I don't to build too many variations :)

The build process for BlackICE is really easy if you already have a CM7 KANG. If people want it I can post the latest CM7 KANG so you can use that to build your own BlackICE with the kernel of your choice. Is that a good idea?
[Desire HD Android Development] Colpophage:
THAT is a great idea... however I think maybe you should just make the official builds using a non-beta Lord kernel, and then offer other kernels for flashing within the same post.

That should include the cm7 kernel - sorry Lord, but somewhere after cm7 nightly 240 or so, I was getting better battery on the cm7 nightly kernels, while Lord kernels caused many of my callers to complain that all they heard was their own echo. If I just called my own voicemail, it was clear that the mic worked, but the echoes on a true voice call overcame that.
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
The build procedure was always there... but people usually don't do it (no linux, no skills, don't know...) Anyway if you build both a naked KANG and a BlackICE from that KANG, if you have a good internet connection, you may upload both so people decides what to do with them...

Did you see my email about torch button? Need help on that?

Thx!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
It takes about 15-20 minutes to upload a KANG to multiUpload so uploading 2 is not a big problem.
