What APN do I should use?

The restrictions and carrier IQ are two different things. To remove carrier IQ a dev need to help us out on that part it's deeply integrated.

+1 for this.. I must say Chainfire has helped quite a bit +1 for Romtoolbox as well. This carrier IQ is a pain yo. Phone doesnt nearly start to even touch it's potential. Ick
I must admit however, I am coming from the OGSGS II. Verdict: Very pleased with the switch. Look forward to some good CWM love

The Carrier IQ isn't affecting certain website that I can see. All it does is collecting user's data. Which I don't like.
if you run a 'ps' in terminal or using adb shell do you see libiq running?
All you want to know about CIQ

Moreover methinks referring to lag / LOS

I don't think any of that data is being sent to your carrier.

They probably have it because they want to control everything. We all know att. They also know the xda community is growing bigger and bigger. And everything is free here. I think there more worried about all the free tethering and not paying for it. Just my thoughts on the matter.

OK I respect your opinion. Do you really think that a mega-company like AT&T is concerned with what a few of us folks do with our phones? There are gazzillions of iPhone users that would never dream of altering their precious device. Case closed.

Can We just find a way to completely remove. I understand everyone has there own opinion on the subject but thats not helping. The way I see is. If you let at&t slide with this one. Your signing into all source of future spyware.

I bet you read that post about sprints carrieriq and misread it. The data on sprints phones are hooked into, but not logged or sent to sprint.
There isn't even conclusive evidence that carrieriq is enabled on the skyrocket so people need to chill.

Even if it is is, MOST of the things people are paranoid about with CarrierIQ, the carrier can ALREADY do! IE: See what sites you visit, your texts, your phone calls. They have had this ability for a long time, carrier side.

But doesn't having this on the phone also eat away at precious battery life ? By the way, is this on both the OSG2 and sky rocket?

Interesting. Wouldn't it just be easier to use Google Voice for a separate number and WiFi Calling?
You'd essentially get the same features for free... unless I'm missing something.
it has quite a few features google voice does not currently, or didn't last time i checked. actually was interested if anyone could comment if it was worth the premium over google voice.
Yes it does. I use it for a side job of PC REPAIRS so I keep my personal number seperate from the business one.

Development will be glorious

All of the complaining aside. If you arent part of solution... *ahem*
In due time Development will begin and we will have lots of fun.
Until then, if you aren't satisfied with su, chainfīre, app freeze, etc - just suggestion - return the phone.
No one holding a gun forcing you to keep. (at least I don't think lol)

+1 ... I am really liking my skyrocket
Agreed. It's taken a few days to adjust to the screen size, but I am really enjoying it. I wanted to get the OG SGS2, but I'm on a bussiness plan and can't get it through Best buy, so I was stuck with it. Overall I'm pleased with it so far.
I too am in love with the phone and the switch from the SGIIS. I look forward to some custom ROM's. Speed is great, screen is simply amazing.
We just need our own forum...

Hi folks - it would be good to get as many of you as possible in the newly-created IRC channel. Details are in the General forum!

Tester needed?

I have an extra g2x that I will only be using for testing and experimenting.
If any dev would like a tester, let me know. I have no use for my extra phone so I'll do whatever.
My daily is a g2x using hfs 1.4. But thinking about reverting to cm7 rc1. Not sure yet.

The way I understand it is that he has 2 g2xs, so all he would have to do is flash the experimental rom and insert his sim and it would be able to receive data and make calls. I could be wrong though.
The IMEI on the second phone is blocked by T-Mo. (I like to call them T-less though) So, he can't use it for mobile or data.
How'd you know that?

The qualification for being a good beta tester really comes down to less about the phone you have and more about the skills you carry. Knowing how to logcat is a bare minimum while reading it and understanding it is a plus. A lot of us would have no problem flashing experimental builds but to really be of use is to have skills in deving

Some wire.
A few Hand warmer heat packs to keep it all nice and toasty in there.
Some small weights for stability.
Most of the stuff I have access to..
The mission Once TeamAcid Reaches major milestone I plan on Finding a Sgs4g Flashing there milestone rom to it.. Install a 32 gb sd card to it and let it float to 107 Km into the upper atmosphere. At that point it will Pop do to the lack of air at that where the package will para shoot back down to earth. Using Gps location will track down package and recover said sgs4g at that time video will be made and posted...
In case of alien abduction all Team-acid names + white-hawk and Krylons name will be also loaded inside

Looking over the Flight path IF i start in northren cali where i live it should land somewhere near so cal lol.
Yeah if I'm getting it back no problem. If it ends up burning in the atmosphere I'll file an insurance claim lol. I use my tablet for almost everything now. Only using my phone for texts really and I can do that through Google voice. So just say when you're ready

alrighty got it its installed on the device im going to use for gps tracking.
Found a chest to use for it already cut down the lip of the chest so it can be sealed airtight. Cut 2 holes in it and wired and threaded the harness Added the weights to stabilize the payload. Its a very simple build tbh. Payload is going to be about 5.5 pounds
Also adding a Casio Camera to this that records in HD format so i can get some other angles.
and as far as helping goes. If we can accurttly project enough where it should land if theres anyone else that lives in california that would love to come help even if its for recovering it when done that wold be great .
looking at seeing if this will work and not interfear with the recording

Man, you MIUI crowd are a sensitive bunch. As someone said above, what is wrong with more options? Do you think they are completely the same? Like every other ROM with the same base? NO!! The OP even mentioned his extras.
If I was this dev, I'd have already pulled my link and told y'all to shove it. He (and every other dev) does this for you.
Be grateful someone is dropping another option. I can't count the threads I've seen lately about "development drying up" "when's the next ROM dropping?" -- silly ish like that. Well, here you go...

base is one thing...functionality and differences built in is something else. hence why i asked what was "different"
i dont see anyone being rude or anything of the sort..if anything someone made a great suggestion by asking the op to link up with the devs of what we already have to incorp the toolbox or possibly build something greater.
@ wolfe...am i missing something? or are you all looking too deep into the posts.
@ OP thanks for clarifying.
