This is my first app, and I'm new to app development, so any feedback or tips are greatly appreciated. I have many plans for future features and updates that could improve or add to the ad. Also, any ratings or downloads help, thanks!

Updates from Version 4:


App Description: Looking for a Conky like, text based, system monitor for android? Tired of slow system monitor widgets making your beautiful phone look ugly, and want something better? Stats Monitor was created for exactly that. As an android user, I created this app off of my own needs and desires as an android user, to create minimalist, text based widget, that could show what's going on in your phone, while keeping the home screens looking beautiful and customizeable.

Features:
Updates every second - Keeps you up to date on all of your phone info and system monitoring!
Time - Easy to see AM/PM format and the current date
Battery - temperature, and percent left
System - Cpu (multi-core available), and uptime
Device Memory - Internal, external, sd card, and ram (Megabytes and Gigabytes setting)
Mobile Network - 3g, 4g, or wifi info (name)
Data Speeds - upload and download speeds (updates every 3 seconds for more accurate estimations)
Customizable - Can use widget settings to hide or display any of these things
Advanced Settings - Change tweak formats and settings and enable things like multi core cpu support!
Minimal - Beautiful, easy to see, and simple!
Text Settings - Change text and background colors to you liking!
Conky (Like) - Build your own widget, but without all of the complicated scripts!

Through my testing, I've found this to be the fastest, most minimalistic, most customize able, and most beautiful form of android system monitor widgets, and I hope you agree. I also can confirm, along with many others, that this widget does not kill your battery, since it only makes requests while your screen is on, so this widget can save you from draining you precious battery life while you are monitoring it. If you have any suggestions or problems please post below, and rate this five stars if you enjoy it. Thank you!

Permissions:
Internet (Free Only): to get Ad requests
Storage: to hopefully fix a crash report some devices have, and save user preferences
Network and Wifi: For the network section to grab network name, and speeds

Thanks please reply with feedback below!

I forgot to mention, i plan on adding options for text sizes, and a network section to see connected networks and the speed of that network!

Sorry guys! I didn't expect this thread to get popular all of a sudden! Thank you for all the replies! I thought it had died out, I'll read through everything right now!

This with the speed of the network would be a great Idea!

Yes! I actually had that on my to-do list, and with the major update I just released it is just that much more near!

Nice idea
That would be great to push the Conky-like mechanism one step further : allowing user to build conky-like script that can display any system variable the way Conky does

with a noob-friendly setting zone with predefined settings available (as it is now) and something else editable this kind of way:

Code:

#color settings
default_color FFFFFF
color1 FF0000
color2 FF5F00
color3 0000FF
color4 0073FF
color5 0BAE07

TEXT

mem: $mem/$memmax
${color5}${membar 5 80}${color}
cores: ${cpu 0} % ${acpitemp}°C
#${cpu 1} 

${color1}${cpubar cpu 1 5 80}
${color2}${cpubar cpu 2 5 80}
${color3}${cpubar cpu 3 5 80}
${color4}${cpubar cpu 4 5 80}${color}
battery: ${battery_percent}% 
battery: ${battery}

Edit : an app like yours already exist (slightly lighter than yours) but has no config options : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.masaki.TW&hl=en

Yeah, i really wanted to be able to have user created scripts, because that's half the fun of conky, and that's where real user creativity shows. However, i felt like a lot of people wouldn't want to take the time to learn or implement their own scripts since not everyone is computer savvy enough to do so.

And yes, that app is one of the reasons I made this one. i used it for the longest time, but I REALLY didn't want to see more than half of the info in the widget, and I really disliked the lack of configuration. I wanted something a bit more configurable, and minimalist. I definitely give that guy props for doing the idea first, but I wanted something different, so I made it. thanks for bringing it up though!

how about allowing a single one to be displayed as a widget. example: only time, or only memory info

Click to collapse

You can! I wanted to make sure if you only wanted one, you could have one. the widget has it's own configuration and you can pick and choose what you want!

Very nice widget, great work.

One little bug as i see it is that for cpu usage the % sign comes before the value.

A nice feature would be RAM usage.

And a short description of permissions is always nice in app description on playstore


Edit: Another bug is that the uptime counter doesnt show days. I have uptime of 26h now but it shows 2h in widget.

Thank you! I just implemented ram stats actually, I'm updating the OP, and I'll add a permissions thing right now!

Oh my, I never noticed these bugs, I'll fix them ASAP! thank you!
