Please follow-up your support request, I'm still waiting information from you: if the sysctl screen change sticks or not and if the sysctl script I sent you works or not. You also mentioned having 2 devices with identical setup, one on which it works, one on which it doesn't. What are those 2 devices models, the same?

yes they are this morning i recived update it seems to be working thanks

Re: [APP 2.2+] Android Tuner [BETA TESTING]

There should be a way of saving the configuration we do in case we change we change the kernel or rom.

The sysctl settings do not maintain.

No, but thanks for reminding me, got to add that ;)

What about backing-up the app, it will save its data and whole configuration? You can then restore anytime.

Even better, what about creating a CWM installer from the app Active Tweaks settings? Or a CWM ZIP from the app or backup list?


But one sure thing: don't expect the app to restore any "init.d script" you used for boot settings. Those are part of the kernel or ROM and erased automatically.

Nevertheless restoring the app or installing its ZIP will restore almost everything, but not build.prop. Too dangerous.

I understand but it could have a profile where u have a manual configuration for sysctl. I've made one configuration wich makes the phone really fast using Android tuner. For that reason I was saying about this since it isn't saved correctly...

I see 2 things: a need to save/load configuration on the fly, and a possible bug reapplying on boot.

For the first, it's added to TODO list.

For the second, please make sure the app is set to start on boot, I suspect it is not. If so, open settings, active tweaks, boot settings, and make sure sysctl is enabled. Then exit the settings, the app should be set on boot and the issue will be resolved.

IT was. Happens that, when i change kernel, it changes the values and doesnt keep the old ones. And if i configure manualy, happens same thing. I prefer Samsung default values because is much more fluid for multi tasking than the ones wich is on the recomended of the app (wich are the same as dorimanx kernel) . Makes it laggy.

here you have some feedback:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017382

The lag comes after opening 2 apps or when you have an app wich uses more cpu. Since this is a phone there are limitations, wich i think is wise to keep in some sysctl values lower. Perhaps we can find a new recomended value :)

Thats why i am interested in this feature :) would be perfect. You have a great app.

A couple more questions (I know, users are a pain :p)

Did you have any plans to include a control for LED brightness (i.e Soft Key brightness)?

What about controls for USB Fastcharge, GPU, or v-sync?

Now, for some commentary:

Since the last update, this application has performed beautifully. It very smoothly controls the CPU, and will show what is happening (say with thermal scripts) in real time. Far and away the best CPU control app I have used...which is why I bought the pro version :)

Keep up the good work! It's really appreciated!

Hi again
Is there no 'select all' in the explorer?

Yes there is, the first button on the bottom left. Long press to open a menu for select all/none. Like in the app list, same behavior.

Sorry, haven't found a way to show buttons that accept long-press. Want to add a multi-circle image on top of those buttons, but it's not that easy to achieve.

Ok guys help me out please. When I backup a widget to SD, where exactly does it save it? I looked on my internal storage and can't find it anywhere. It's not in /storage/emulated/0/at.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. I backed up a widget and named it "ham", then searched the root directory for "ham". Found it in /data/data/ccc71.at/widgets. Seems like the more user accessible internal storage would be the better place to store these (because I want to sync these between devices :)).

I'll add a share option in the near future, indeed would be nice ;) The widgets have been located there so that when you backup the app, all widgets are backed-up too :)

Thanks boss. I'm still amazed the widget can show CPU temp on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 when no other app can seem to do so.

The widget settings sharing feature is now available in last update (0.7.1).

Yep, CPU information not being standard in Android, one have to find where it is located on every devices. Though there are a few known locations that repeat themselves, I often have to buy non-supported devices to search for that particular piece of data. Same goes for battery current (mA). Lot of continues work.

In last update (0.7.1), you can now save/load sysctl tweaks and I've included your configuration as a preset (default or S2 JB). If you find an improved configuration let me know I can integrate it ;)

Just tried and it worked. Though when restoring it doesn't show a progress indicator, but if you wait it will show a popup. If you exit the screen before, it's possible that nothing gets applied. Will fix this asap...

    Dear users,

    Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.

    To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.

    With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.

    Thank you all!





    *** See at the end of this post on how to get support for any issues ***

    The most comprehensive toolbox to save battery, tweak, tune, backup, secure and monitor any Android devices running any ROMs, any kernels.

    What is 3C Toolbox

    Replaces 20+ apps easily worth 30€ for the price of a couple of beers!

    NB: Starting with version 1.0.3, Android 2.2.x and 2.1.x are no longer supported. App supports Android 2.3 and above, including Android L preview.


    Safest root app on Play Store: I run the app and all its features on at least 4 devices every day, and change 3 of them frequently for testing purposes. With about 250.000+ actual users, it's pretty safe to assume the app is very safe. App can create a reset package to disable all system tweak features from CWM/TWRP at any time. App has automatic fallback in case of boot loops while re-configuring the CPU.

    See signature for download links.

    Issues with CPU temperature or battery current mA or capacity mAh?

    Please explain this in a support request from app settings, help and support so we can provide the appropriate option to use in 'mA retrieval method' of battery / monitoring settings and add out-of-the-box support for your device. All necessary information is provided in the request's attachments.


    How to get support for any other issues

    Please send a support request from app settings, help and support. You need to clearly explain your issue, attach any relevant screenshots showing where and how the issue occurs. I will not provide any support here.

    All I ask is to provide reasonable details for me to be able to help, empty requests are mostly trashed, I keep one requests per device for the sake of a possible source of information for how the app supports things, to possibly fix things too or compare between variants of the same device.

    For example a support request contain the following (you can check the content before sending it!),
    all discovered SD cards, very useful for any related issues, including the mentioned read cache stuff.
    app installation path and configuration, for xposed, battery, cpu, tweaks, apps or task managers problems.
    battery history and configuration for any battery problems.
    CPU configuration for CPU problems, including thermal, mp, voltage, etc

    The idea is that you explain the observed issue, possibly add a screenshot so that I know exactly where to look for (app has 100+ screens and sometimes words don't mean the same for you and me), and there I can really do a good job at helping you.

    PS: And so you know, I hate liars, insults, disrespect and myself. So please try to avoid those when requesting support.

    Actually if you want support, posting the whole support request content, the screenshot and details here should be ok. Doing otherwise, I'll either ignore you completely or send you elsewhere very quickly, you want to leave me a one star rating, so be it: developing is my passion and I love it, you want my help, do it the right way or don't at all. I don't develop for stars, I develop for fun.

    Away until the 23rd

    Dear users, I'm away from work taking my first week off in 3 years and I don't always have a good connection where I'm currently staying.

    So if I miss your post or support request, don't hesitate to send me a reminder on the day I return.

    During that period I'll be checking my emails and posts on XDA (and my own web site) and will try to respond whenever possible.

    Thanks a lot for your patience.

    Yeah right. Seems too unorganized and bloated IMO. I'd rather use rom toolbox pro and other select apps. But thats my opinion.

    Best of luck.

    Thanks, wishing you the same.

    12 bucks? Seriously?

    attachment.php


    Is that price getting you hangry? This app is much better organized than rom toolbox to mention only one.
    Hard to use? must be kidding. Many users of this app are non-tech. Aren't you involved in ROM Toolbox dev by the way?

    The app is not being sold with a sexy girl on the front page, maybe that's what you mean by select? :D

    Attention !!!! Installs an apk to /system/ dosnt know what it does !!! Apk is there when uninstalled too !!!!

    I've updated the first post with more information about that. Will publish an updated APK to ask user permission before installing it within the next hour.

    EDIT: Didn't expected you guys to be so quick while I finalize the publishing of all required information. :D

    By the way, the uninstall process can't uninstall other stuff, but as a rooted device, you should have no problem getting rid of this APK.
    Please try the new APK published a minute ago (available in a couple of hours) that will allow you to refuse the APK installation.

    Will the users of BMW pro and system tuner pro get a discount or count this as an upgrade?

    Yes, just contact me with the order lists (bmw, system tuner and the new android tuner) and I'll refund old apps. This is the migration plan I'm working on.


    EDIT: As of December 20th, 2013, direct refunds on Play Store are no longer possible. This was the only available way to offer discounts in a decent way. PayPal was an alternative available until February 2014, but it was abandonned because of the complexity, 30+% extra fees and the lack of global support (some countries could not receive refunds).

    Hi 3c,

    Not a bad idea to make an "all in one", just need to see about memory, battery and CPU usage... but I am pretty confident about that ;)

    No more update for System Tuner pro?

    In all cases I buy it! ;) (although slightly damage the impressive increase in the price :eek: :D).

    Thanks and congratulations for your new app :)

    Yes, high price for now to avoid users who just try any apps and put comments after a few minutes of testing. And also to be able to offer discounts by refunding old apps paid version.

    Nevertheless there will be updates on existing apps (not everyone wants an all in one app) with existing improvements, except features that require additional permissions.
