Hello XDA friends,
one of the first apps I installed on my android phone was CPU Spy, a very famous app that displayed the phone freqs and their time in state and kernel info.
Really a basic app, but was one of the best, time ago, to have some diagnostic about our freqs use; this is the reason why it has over 500.000 downloads, not bad !
Well I love that app, but since android 4.0, with the holo theme coming, several old apps have been updated and made them available for tablets, optimized and so on, but the app I love no , has a basic holo actionbar, no tablet support, no multi location strings.. well has not been updated, that s all.
So I contacted Brandon Valosek, CPU Spy developer and asked (and had) his permissions to edit and redistribute his app to better suit my tastes and latest android generations.
Here is my version of the app, called CPU Spy Reborn, let s see what s new:
Phone layout is simple, all available freqs are listed like a listview (but is not) with a card style and a nice color palette to better read your datas.
Actionbar, instead, is a custom actionbar that displays total time state (that is a button you can use to refresh total datas, but don t worry, app refresh itself everytime is onResume(), so when you open the app, no need to run in background and waste battery).
In landscape mode we have a gridlayout, to use better the space available and avoid loooong scrolling.
Tablet layout (7inch) shows everything in one screen, no need to look for this or that, simple, clean, fast!
The app is Open Source, feel free to fork, contribute, rate.
By the way, app is localized in italian and english, but I m open to accept every translation (will be credited in the app), so if some of you is interested to contribute.. DO IT !
