So an unpleasant surprise in the EOS Nightlies and a few other builds is the inclusion of SPAMWARE called Goo.im. Its a notification app that could double as spyware as well. Its full functionality and the extent it can invade your privacy is unknown.
To remove it, simply do the following:
- Start Titanium Backup
- Find Goo Manager
- Long press to convert to user app
- Once converted, long press again to delete
After that you'll be free of this SPAMWARE.
Its not spamware it tells you when you have an update for your rom and gapps

In my books - that is SPAM. Never the less, new users of nightlies will find removing this or disabling a little difficult and this post is meant to be informational for all those who don't want opt-out notification.

Understandable simple solution is not flashing custom roms unless it has opt-out feature,no disrespect intended.

First of all, I believe it is called gooManager.
If this is what you are referring to, this is not a spam or malware. Your book could be infected, with all respect, no offence...
This is an application subscribed to by team eos to host many dev apps, and ROMs and to notify you whenever there is an update available for you. Is it an added value feature that other ROMs lack. It is not spam no whatsover... thx for the tip though on how to use titanium backup...

Dude you might need to places ur time in something else other then flashing Roms bc that feature u so called what to show people how to remove is a blessing to everyone that understand they don't have to go in to the rom and select the update every time. Also, people have put a lot of time in to that feature.

Goo manager is NOT spam and is in fact the ONLY app I use to automatically notify me of a ROM or gapps update then download the update, wipe, backup and flash all from the app (as long as open script recovery). I even donated $10 for support of the dev.
Your opinions are your own but realize you are incorrect to call it spam or imply that it is in any way malicious. Uninstalling it should have sufficed without need for this thread... IMO.

... perhaps you just shouldn't use our ROMs then; in fact, I'd prefer that you don't (seriously!) if you have those kinds of issues with our builds.
BTW, you're not making much sense- after all, we make these ROMs ourselves essentially from scratch- if we'd wanted to "spy" on you, there's FAR more innocuous ways to do it (that you'd never know about nor be able to remove w/o a full wipe) than having to "install 'spy'ware".
This thread sucks. If you don't want update notifications, go into the settings on goomanager and set the "ROM Update Frequency" setting to never.
It's along the same lines as google, moto etc telling you an OTA is available?

Mr OP... Your thoughts here are very flawed and they lack insight and logic. I know I really shouldn't give this guy the time of day and he is likely a troll... But if you ARE new to this stuff and you are feeling your way through these processes, you need more information than he gave.
First is a simple argument with very simple logic. If indeed this app is malicious in intent, you can trust that they would have simply been caught by now! Do you really think all the code writers and programmers and enthusiasts and all around nerds (I can say it cause I am one) wouldn't have discovered it? The awesome people on this board were able to find out that a ICS leak for the Motorola DROID Bionic had a check in place that stopped the returning to stock process. And they didn't do it by experimentation, they busted through the code and put it through tests... Other stuff cause they're just that damn good!
Secondly, if they were again being malicious and say they were caught but they somehow convinced everyone that has caught them to keep it quiet and they cut them in on the action... Dude, really? We did in fact for to the moon, I promise you that. (that's a conspiracy theory crack, didn't want the genius OP to miss out on a joke).
Third, it's not necessary you tell people how to get rid of the app because if you're on this board, you're smarter... Wait.... Since we are dealing with this thread I can't say EVERYONE here is smart.
In the end, this is a much optional app. Rooting and roming are much optional. If you don't want it, don't use it. No one really cares to invade your privacy, no one cares what porn you browse on your Xoom! If you hate this kind of stuff go buy iProducts and be a drone like the rest of the hipsters.
Have a nice night now!
*rolls eyes*.....*types out long reply to OP*....*spam backspace*....*hits submit reply*
U mad OP?
Hit the thanks button and wam it disappears ! Try it.
I wasn't a fan of the notifications, and prefer to boot into recovery to flash updates, so I uninstalled, not seen any reasons to claim it was malicious though... perhaps the OP doesn't understand why it has the permissions it has :-\

Wow... I don't see any problem with posting this, but for real... why the heck do you type like that? I'd rather not read another post of yours formatted in such a way. It's not clever, and it doesn't make you look smart.
I do have to say one thing though. Anyone can make a list of programs, to provide people with something useful however.. that is another task. You give no information about these programs, you give no reference to the authors of these programs, you give no information about where to legitimately acquire these programs.. I would also doubt that all of these vendors want you distributing their software without permissions, even if they are available for free.
If you want people to view your posting as helpful, you may want to reconsider your approach. Format your text in a helpful and organized method (it's not a headline, or a title to a book). Include helpful and concise information about the applications. Provide links (at the very least) to the webpages associated with the applications. etc.

Just wondered if anyone had considered creating torrents for things instead of posting links to upload sites or having to worry about having to host things on a private server. This could solve a lot of problems and make downloads much faster for everyone. Linux users probably already know that many of the linux distro sites offer torrents just for that reason.

I think they like to track the # of downloads, I don't know if you can do that with Torrents.
Another reason is, such as with the bamf previews, they can take them down. On a torrent they do not have that option.

Why should they really care if they can take them down or not? If there is a problem with the ROM and it is bricking everyone's phone, just make a new sticky that says "Don't install this". This whole recurring theme about "don't re-post the ROM cause you might piss off the devs" is kind of silly.

Because they were strictly previews, and it was stated as such that they would only be available for a short time. And honestly if a dev wants control over their Rom and where it's located, well more power to them.

So we are rooting our phones against the wishes of our carrier and manufacturer but don't want to upset a dev by posting their rom where folks can download it faster? We do the same thing with most all other applications on the internet without regard to the original developers. Firefox has retired Firefox 4 but you can still find plenty of places on the net to download it.

Way I see it, the devs have the right to request that no one mirror their roms for what ever reason, be it tracking downloads, ability to take them down (again for what ever reason) or just plain being a ass. If people dont agree with that request, they can and should feel free to download a different rom.
Also with torrents, can you really be sure you are getting the correct file? how many people actually check the md5 before trying to flash the rom? Keeping it in the control of the dev insures, at least partially, that the download is correct.

Or we can continue with the spirit that makes the internet great including things like custom ROMs, and do whatever the hell we want to do.
This code is owned by Android / HTC. Did the devs get their permission before they modified it and posted their custom ROM?
Please, this whole "lets don't upset the devs" is getting really old. XDA is full of a bunch of dev ass kissers and smart ass devs.
If someone is too dumb to generate a MD5 then that is their fault.
As stated above, torrents are a bad idea when it comes to flashing a Rom. Also if you do ever upload a Rom anywhere make sure you ask the developer first no matter whether you think you should or not

The answer, unfortunately, is "that depends".
Keystrokes *are* being caught and logged, that's clear. It doesn't appear that they're being permanently stored or transmitted, but that doesn't matter. Malicious software could potentially read those keystrokes and do whatever with them.

You'll need to remove the SWM-C stuff.
That's the redbend sofware managemet client, which T-Mobile includes. That software gives T-Mobile the ability to install, remove, or modify any software installed on your phone without your knowledge or permission.
EDIT: Actually, it'd be great if ROMs could be titled with [NOSWM], so we'd know. Just a thought.
The Rubix Cubed ROMs have all been "fixed" now to prevent this invasion of privacy. Since we aren't allowed to post about other forums on here all I can say is to Google RubiX CubeD ROM and you'll see your 3 options.
**mods i.e. arrrghhh**
As you can see I haven't posted any direct links or referenced any other particular forums to acquire these said roms so I am not violating what you referred to as "uncredited" work and a "d!ck" move as quoted from your PM to me this morning below .....Google is everyone's friend and it's pretty common knowledge anything can be found on there!

So, I'm guessing if we freeze the SWM-C stuff, we should be safe? Is there anything else that's questionable and should be frozen?
I'm no expert. I have a rooted but stock MT4GS. I downloaded an app from the marketplace that is supposed to find if you have the software on your phone.
According to the software, I don't have the "infection".
I searched the marketplace for "carrier iq" and found a few detectors. I used one from Lookout, the people that make remote lock and wipe software. I also downloaded one from Bitdefender and got the same negative answer.
TMO News had a post with a list of offending phones and ours was not on there.
My guess is that it is not on our phones.
Our phone doesn't come with carrier iq thankfully. TrevE has an app that checks and removes it.
We do however have swm-c and htc loggers. Both can be removed. I know undeads roms have both removed.
I checked for both already.

okay, as of right now, if you hold down the home button in any ROM on this phone, you'll get the recent apps/Task manager button. The button has no apk linked to it so if you hit it, naturally, it will give you a force close error
however the easy fix to this is to take it from any SGS4g rom with it in there.
Just copy jobmanager.apk to your /system/app folder via any root enabled file explorer. and then you're done
I still can't post in the developer thread, so I thought i'd post this here.
Edit: If task manager and that button is absolutely essential, here is a quick fix, however it will produce a memory leak, and that's why the apk was removed in the first place, so do this at your own risk!
Task Manager was removed because of memory leak issues. I know it's a lot to read but it was mentioned in the Valhalla Black thread.
read the op its been spelled out and answered neurmous times if u can find the rom and the downmload link u can sure as **** read that the task manager was removed... sorry to be an ass but really

While you're at it look up "Define: memory leak"
I don't think you were being an ass, thanks for clarifying this. I didn't even see anything about a memory leak. I just thought you removed it because of it being a samsung apk which you removed.
Sorry for posting this, it's just I found that the task manager button freezes the phone. I apologize.
The only problem is that you now have a button that gives you a FC window.
Would it be too difficult to modify the window to remove the button and add more recent apps?
I know what a memory leak is. I don't need google to define it for me. I also can only speak from my own experience and also from what I have searched. I have found nothing about touchwiz task manager and memory leak. I have also never seen it myself. I use task manager throughout the day mostly to kill some troublesome apps, such as dood's music. I've never had memory issues nor have I've come across others in this forum with them. Please enlighten me and point me to some sources. I will eat my hat. Also in fairness to the OP, ravers OPs did not state that TM was removed and why. Also that thread is huge. I see many posts telling others not to clutter up the thread with issues such as these and to make their own post. When they do they are chastised. When we share something, we should be prepared for all issues, questions and excitement. If it's too much to bare, maybe limit our betas to a select group.

Please enlighten me and point me to some sources. I will eat my hat. Also in fairness to the OP, ravers OPs did not state that TM was removed and why. Also that thread is huge. I see many posts telling others not to clutter up the thread with issues such as these and to make their own post. When they do they are chastised. When we share something, we should be prepared for all issues, questions and excitement. If it's too much to bare, maybe limit our betas to a select group.

Hi man - that's not cool - show the man some respect, he is investing a lot(and I mean A LOT) of his free(yes he is not getting paid for that) to bring us awesome stuff - so even if you think his is wrong don't be such a cynical...
And just my guess - if Raver removed it due to his findings(memory leaks) , I don't think he did it for nothing....
About the problem where you press the home and get FC because there is no app... I think that in order to set the binded app that will be launched on press you should edit something in /system/usr/keyboard/melfas_touchkey.kl but I don't know exactly what to change it to(and any how I'm not sure that's the right solution)
Don't take it personally but It's sad to see the misrespect our Devs are getting around here - and if you didn't meant it that way - I'm taking my words back.

lol. i was just going to suggest binding it to a different apk. or renaming one to match the current setup. lol

I know what a memory leak is. I don't need google to define it for me. I also can only speak from my own experience and also from what I have searched. I have found nothing about touchwiz task manager and memory leak. I have also never seen it myself. I use task manager throughout the day mostly to kill some troublesome apps, such as dood's music. I've never had memory issues nor have I've come across others in this forum with them. Please enlighten me and point me to some sources. I will eat my hat.

You guys are getting better and better at pushing developers away from this "DEVELOPER" forum. Good Job!
I really do apoligize guys. i really enjoy your work, and use it daily. I'm glad I didn't post this in the developer forum now. i really appreciate all of the devs' work on this phone, and do not want to see them go.
however I was thinking the same as the other guy who posted about changing the button, or removing it.
again, i do apoligize for my noobishness, and apoligize for not completely reading through raver. but how about we change gears no?

Not to mention pushing regular users away.... I find myself reading these forums less and less often due to the lack of educated users (or lack of effort to at least try and find the answer themselves)... Unfortunately I'm not experienced with the inner workings of android so I can't be of much help to bhundven and the other developers working to get us a new kernel/cm7/miui/etc other than testing.

Neither am I, and that's why I'm glad we have the amazing developers we have on here. without them i would truly be lost and my phone would still be stuck in stock so...
i never meant any disrespect, just to point something out. which my mistake, was already pointed out.
I'm educated in android phones, but not the inner workings like our devs, so honestly, I respect you guys, because you take our sh*t all the time.
the issue is its not that i cant remove the button i gotta find where its at so it doesn't display it when u hit the home button.
Anyone got a copy of that? With a shield the app that launches when you hit the shield button I need that exact app.
Looking to try spoofing tegra in my nexus 4 to try streaming with a normal controller
Thanks!
I hope someone makes this happen, due to it streaming I can't see hardware being a limitation.
It could be like the Ouya framework though... Dependent on the actual device.

I sure hope someone will be able to release the APK. I would be interested in using it on my Galaxy S3.
It's not the same as the TegraZone already on the Play store?

No, it is not. And while I can't speak too much about it, it's not just a side-load onto any device. So don't be holding your breath about someone uploading the APK and getting all the features running this week.
right....because it sooo hard to make rudimentary changes to a launcher.
The APK is called Dashboard.apk. It resides in /system/app and can be launched as a normal app.
?? Then why did you say the opposite not 2 posts ago?

Let me know when you get this working, since you love trolling. One of us has been helping everyone to the largest extent they can. The other is just demanding a bunch of stuff since he doesn't want to buy one himself.
I will personally post the full system image tonight if it isn't already uploaded by then. And you can go to town, I'm seriously curious about how much you can get working this week, since its obviously so easy.

It won't do anything. It will crash on another device.

You're the one going around posting false information. And asking for a system dump is not "demanding a bunch of stuff".
If you want to get into a pissing match about who's done more to help the XDA community, you're gonna lose. I've done alot more than post some roms for the EVO 3D. If anyone's a troll here its you.
And 20x more people have found my comments helpful. So you're still trolling. What false info have I given?
Unlike you i'm not a thanks whore, and the thanks meter wasn't even implemented when I started posting on XDA. I have released numerous firmware images and sbf files that would otherwise have not been obtainable, saving countless devices in the process(See the technician only Xoom recovery file that was the only way to restore a bricked Xoom for months after release). That's a little more important to me than some likes.
Oh and False info? You just said not a few moments ago it runs like a normal app.
Now now boys, calm down.
I must admit I am on legions side on most of his points so far. This is a community forum for the general public and what we do here is Share and Mod. I do believe "agrabren" that as you are part of the Nvidia team you don't want to see parts of your product ported and such, but the product is now in the hands of the user and so now it is up to us what we do with our purchases.

It didn't occur to me that I might need to explain that in more detail, but in hind-sight, it does need clarification. What I mean, and meant from the beginning, is that the framework doesn't issue any "magic" to launch that app. There's no special "back-door" entry into that APK which makes it work on the device, nor is the Intent anyway modified. My natural instinct is to distrust every aspect of a system app that doesn't sideload correctly. In this case, I gave extra insight into areas of attack on getting the APK to load on other devices by eliminating one method a company could use for an app that has a special method of launch (the center button on the device).
So my statement, properly clarified, is that the APK itself has nothing special about it in regards to Intent launching or its AndroidManifest.xml, but that without some efforts with other components, will not run directly on another device, especially one based on a non-Tegra device.

Great, except I've actually been trying to help most people with most parts of ROM sharing and modding. I've already said that I'm going to post the OTA1 system and boot images, in their official entirety, as well as I'll probably post a rooted version as well. I've been helping people prevent bricking their devices.
If you'd rather I just go away, I'm happy to. But I wouldn't expect anyone else from NVIDIA to be reaching out to get CM10.2 up and running on this device, or to get a custom recovery up and running quickly. I've never objected to him getting the system image, I'm all for it being uploaded and even promised to do so. I'm trying to help clarify what will work easily and what won't. I even answered the question that nobody else had, the APK he's asking for (because he didn't know the name of it) is Dashboard.apk, and it resides in /system/app. His contributions right now to the SHIELD forums on XDA are: Give me the system image, give me some APKs that may be on the device! That rubs me the wrong way as a person who has spent plenty of time developing ROMs for different phones, helping fix kernels for multiple CM-supported devices, and who has *always* fought for companies to give to the community. Unlockable bootloader? Yeah, I was part of that push. I'm trying my best to get as much source as possible made public.
Maybe I came off poorly in this thread (because this was after the thread asking for an apk that has only been demoed at tradeshows and special press meetings). So I'm sorry if I came off wrong, but while everyone else is helping each other out, he's just demanding stuff.
I what world do you live in that posting a thread asking for a system image and a possibly pre-loaded app qualifies as "demanding stuff"? Why should I have to have done anything to be worthy of your approval to post such a thread?
There is a huge conflict of interest with you both working for Nvidia and unofficially releasing official firmware and hacks, so frankly no, I don't trust you being involved in this devices xda development.

So a guy who doesn't own the device is not going to trust ROMs I make for a device he doesn't own. Oops, no loss to me. You can go back to trolling, I'm done with your thread. You have your system image and boot image in either manner you want it.
Oops, my bad. It wasn't your thread, you just came into this thread to troll me. My mistake.
Raptor, if you check in the Android Development section, you'll find the system images. I'd suggest the ZIP version, because it's both smaller and already extracted. The system.img is an uncompress image to be flashed via fastboot in case someone messes up their system or boot partitions.
