noCIQ (Carrier IQ removal) for Epic 4G Touch
Because your privacy matters!
About
Any of you who have been around since the OG Epic, who have come from the Evo 4G, or really, who have had a Sprint Android phone at all in the last few years, probably know what Carrier IQ is. If you don't, see the second post.
This mod does precisely what it says on the tin - removes Carrier IQ. For good. No more background process, reduced battery drain, marginally better performance. This package is best suited for stock ROM users and ROM/theme devs - ROM users, you will likely see this mod included in most if not all ROMs from today (10/2) on.
Important: midNIGHT ROM v2+ users definitely do not need to flash this. Users of other ROMs, if you flash this, you may lose some of your ROM's custom features. DO NOT under any circumstance flash a theme or mod that modifies any of the files included in this package onto a CIQ-removed ROM - you're just asking for trouble, unless the theme/mod is explicitly noCIQ-compatible.
This mod is tested, stable, and as a small bonus, includes the overscroll mod.
How To Install
Wipe cache (main menu) and dalvik-cache (under Advanced) in CWM, and flash as normal.

FAQ
Q: I get FCs!
A: Ensure you wiped cache and dalvik-cache. If issues persist, try other common troubleshooting steps. DO NOT report bugs unless you get an FC every single time in a certain place.
Q: This broke (theme/mod/app/etc.)
A: Theme/mod: is it noCIQ-compatible? If not, that's why. Ask the creator to update it. Anything else: no. It didn't break it.
Q: Are you going to release a version without overscroll?
A: No.
Q: I'm a ROM dev/themer. May I use this?
A: Absolutely. Please credit me if you do - other than that, go wild.
