Does iq exhibit itself for example in the "adb lolcat" output when
running the phone at full debug?

Marcin, 

Regarding Android, the
situation varies widely. Some carriers customise the ROM, others deliver
the phone manufacturer's stock ROM. Additionally, you can install a
custom ROM, like Cyanogenmod. Have a look here to see how you can test:

My phone, running Cyanogenmod, does not. 

If you want to check if the
CarrierIQ agent is isntalled on your phone, look at the video

For iPhones, I
stumbled across this link:

It seems to confirm what ED just wrote.
