Has anyone confirmed if CIQ is present on the new One (for example, on AT&T) and if so, what's the best way one might go about removing it?
Bump. Anyone know for sure either way?

You can simply download apps from the Play Store like CarrierIQ Scanner or Bitfender Carrier IQ Finder to check.
On my International One CIQ is not present.

Tried those previously, hence my question. What puzzles me is that both Bitdefender and Lookout Labs 'Carrier IQ Detector" are both reporting no CIQ, but 'Red Pill' is returning a positive. Your thoughts?
Red Pill reported no CIQ on my phone.
Trying ot get this to work on HTC One since we don't have Google Wallet support.
Problem is Isis has a root check. S4 and Note 3 XDA users found a way around it, but not sure if it works with HTC One (currently I am doing a Nandroid before installing the APK in the link below)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482708
Wondering if there is a similar bypass for HTC One users?
EDIT
I installed that framework module and started up Isis. It let me get by the root check and requested I have a Secured element Sim. Heading to AT&T store on lunch to get one and keeping my fingers crossed.
If anyone with a secured element sim and xposed would like to try and report back.
I've been using Google Wallet on Android 4.4 without a problem. Haven't tried Isis but since Wallet works now without any hacks I'll probably keep using it.

You can use wallet to make NFC payments using an HTC One?
EDIT Holy crap - I just read about it. Well, looks like I'll be updating to ARHD with 4.4 kit kat
ISIS not working with Sense 5.5 and android 4.4 builds yet...
probably have to wait for official carrier builds early next year... freaking LAME.
a little more poking around reveals that (the ROM I'm using) Android_Revolution_HD-One_40.3 is missing:
/system/app/SmartcardService.apk
/system/framework/org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar
where as 30.5 and 30.6 both had these when ISIS was working. Guess we will have to wait for carrier builds?
Isis seems to work on the latest release. You do need Xposed and a root hider module, but I got it up and running. Haven't had a chance to try buying anything yet.
You do also need a secure element sim card. My original one did not pass the check.
Thought it might be helpful for new and old owners alike to see which bloat apps people are deleting/freezing.
My device is still en route to me, but anyone who has gotten rid of ATT bloat, please list which ones you've removed.

Anything that has AT&T name on it.
Is there anyway, to remove all the idiotic extra sprint icons when writing the new lollipop version?
What icons? I don't have any.. maybe it's because I am on ViperROM or maybe it's because I use TWRP to uninstall all the Sprint apps?
Sprint Zone, Sprint Connections Optimizer, and one or two more.

NFC, GPS, and the annoying Sprint Spark icons. You said Viper ROM? I wonder if they support the HK edition.

I just checked.. I can hide boom/hk icon, nfc, Sprint GPS, GPS, and more. Here's the Rom thread.. it says all variants supported, but you can ask
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715224&page=247
As for all the other Sprint stuff I've installed it with Titanium Backup.. I mistakenly said TWRP in my previous post. Works great. I've been using ViperROM for awhile now. Great support and frequent updates.
With my Note 7 and its inferior replacement, the S7E, Verizon had loaded both phones up with a plethora of bloatware. On top of what was preinstalled, I'd constantly find new apps magically appearing every so often.
I subsequently learned that the spontaneous new apps were installed without my permission by DT Ignite, malware (IMO) pre-installed by Verizon. Once that was disabled, things quieted down.
My Note 8 that arrived yesterday had far fewer initial crapware games and apps, and I can't find any evidence of DT Ignite in the Apps Manager. Has Verizon finally smartened up, or do you think they'll find another way to pollute our phones?

Thanks, DT Ignition did find it ... it's now called something generic like "Mobile Services." But it's gone now.

It's a background app installed by carriers that will download and install games and apps on your phone whether you want them or not. It's very annoying to purge your phone of bloatware only to see it come back mysteriously by itself.

Its a scumbag move by carriers that installs crap on your phone without your permission. It's also the first thing I disable.

I was thinking that there wasn't much bloat ware on my new Verizon N8 but now you have me worried there are other hidden gems. What else is anyone removing/disabling

I had used PDP (Package Disabler Pro) to disable nearly everything it recommended on my Note 7 and the S7E that replaced it, at least until Nougat was released. After the upgrade PDP didn't work anymore, but I pretty much knew what to disable by then and DT Ignite was at the top of my list. Nothing came back after I shut that down, and the 2 or 3 security updates VZW has pushed since then didn't re-enable it.
I'm cautiously optimistic that the Note 8 will stay fairly clean ... at least until Oreo is released for the N8.
et t-mobile tu, brute?
interesting discussion chaps.
i know this is a VZW thread and i apologize for the intercept, but is tmobile likely doing the same thing?
would this ignition program find such apps on t mobile? i get the note8 friday from tmobile (my other phones are unlocked non carrier version so this is the first time ill need to look for stuff like this)
Funny I was just about to post a thread "what bloat ware should I get rid of on Verizon note 8?" This is a good start ☺

Are these package disablers worth getting? Or is it just as easy as turning off apps?

Most of the totally useless crapware cannot be disabled without a package disabler app
FWIW, the one I usually use (Package Disabler Pro) is not working on my Note FE, but, BK Disabler is.
I'd say it's well worth the couple of dollars vs dealing with unwanted bloat ware...

I avoid disabling anything to avoid issues when updates are pushed - I never disabled DT Ignite on my VZW S8 and I never had anything pushed on my phone. Also if you don't want to be tracked, you're using the wrong operating system to begin with.

Good for you, seriously, but that wasn't my experience. I'd wake up to new, unwanted games and apps on my Note 7 and S7 Edge pretty regularly. And after disabling DT Ignite, I never had a problem with any of the updates, including the Nougat release for the S7E. I had to disable DT Ignite again after that installed, but the 3 security updates since have all installed just fine.
Not sure if this is the right place but here it goes. I actually use some VZW stuff. I like the native VZW to VZW video calling. I also love the VZW premium visual voicemail. The VZW cloud is handy, but I can do without.
Anyone know how I get this stuff?
You mean on a non Verizon issued Note 8 or something?
Not bloatware, but I'm pissed ours didn't get the upgrade for the swipe down on homescreen bringing down notifications rather than a 2nd app drawer command.

I just got off the phone with VZW. My HD calling, video calling and visual voicemail isn't working. Not sure if the CSR was right, but she said there is an advance calling setting on the VZW N8 that I couldn't find on my unlocked Sammy N8. I have seen it before on my S8+ so I know What she is talking about.
I said maybe mine isn't provisioned correctly. She said she wasn't sure. I am going to call back tomorrow to speak with tech support

If you really want it, Nova Launcher can do this. I actually prefer using the fingerprint reader for this, though, and you don't need Nova Launcher for it (although I'd rather have Nova Launcher than not).
Yes action launcher does too but the Note is the only phone I usually use the default launcher with. The sensor isn't convenient to me yet.
