Aero Kernel Control 2.2.0

Hello guys,

i just wanted to inform you that i released the final version of Aero Kernel Control 2.2.0.
The full changelog is quite impressive and long this time, this release contains more than 100 commits. As usual i will quickly talk about the prominent features this time.
As already described in earlier posts, one of the biggest new things is AppMonitor. AppMonitor works seemless in the background and tracks your current app usage.
I wrote the framework for AppMonitor completely from scratch and by myself, the result is a quite unique feature. In the future, AppMonitor will be enhanced even further.
Also a new feature made it in this version called HelpTexts, which was quite often requested. Each element has a question mark which will explain the tunable a bit further.
For now i got around 80 possible tunables covered, i wrote most of the helptexts by myself.
The last very big new feature is actually a UI revamp. Many elements were adjusted to fit into the current Material Design language. Beside this, there are very minor details
such as random loading texts, new tunables, improved compatibility, etc.

Overall i am very happy to finally release this. It took me quite a while, but i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed creating it.

    Hello guys :)

    It's finally here, the Aero Control App i have spoken for so long. This is actually my first contact with Android App Development. Since
    i know how the kernel works and what it does, its quite frustrating to see, that users could customize their phone even more with just
    simple tricks and shell commands. However for the most its a pain to type on such a small screen such wired commands in a shell.
    Thats why i created Aero Control!

    Aero Control features a nice and shiny user interface following the Google Guidelines for User Interface Design.
    Its designed to give new and inexperienced users a quick start to set things up while not overwhelming them with information.
    On the other hand even advanced users can tweak many parts of the OS & Kernel to get the most out of their device.
    Basically, it gives you full control over your device without the knowledge to know each parameter or path.

    Aero Control will hopefully someday replace the Defy Parts in the Settings.apk of Android and ship with each new ROM release.
    Since this is my first app, bear with me. I am human too :)

    Disclaimer;
    The good part about this is, its Open Source! That means everyone can grab the code and modify/compile it for free! I want this to become more
    like a community project. Everyone can suggest features / send bugs or even do a pull request. The code is actually quite
    easy to understand, at least i tried to document it as good as i can. It's probably also a good way to learn java :)
    You can also help me translating if you want to. I take no responsibility for what you do to your device.

    Help with Translations:
    You can help me with translations. This is the file that needs to be translated. You can either fork my project on github and make a pull request to send me your translated file
    or you send me a pm or you post the file here in this thread. If you don't know where you should save your file, have a look over here.
    Make a new folder and add your language flag (example; values-es for spanisch files).

    Enough spoken, here are the features;
    • Full CPU Control (Change each parameter for every governor out there!)
    • Live CPU overclock/underclock
    • GPU OC/UC (overclock/underclock from a nice to use interface)
    • Memory Performance Tuning (enhance performance even further e.g. enable fstrim or zcache)
    • Basic Kernel Backup/Restore Option
    • Set your values on Boot
    • Basic DefyParts features
    • Profiles - define your own profile on the fly!
    • CPU Statistics overview
    • Per-App Profiles!
    • 'Your Settings'-Feature
    • AppMonitor


    This App is designed to not only work on the Defy, i tested it with my Nexus 4 and most of the Features work there as well.

    1.0.0 Beta

    Hello guys,

    i hope you enjoyed the holidays :)
    In the meanwhile i prepared the biggest update for Aero Control and yes we are moving finally into beta-stage.
    This version features a new profile-management. You can add and define your own profiles. At the moment they are
    profiles for the set-on-Boot implementation, so they will only take affect when you reboot your device. I put much efforts
    in doing this right so it can be easily extended in the future. I might do also some sort of per-app settings based on your feedback :)

    Full Changelog;
    • Added Profiles - define your own profile with just a couple of clicks!
    • Added some of the defy parts (no baseband switcher for now.)
    • Added a root checker - you will be noticed if you have no root installed on your system.
    • Added a switch to enable/disable the reboot checker
    • Added a app theme switcher - Aero Control feature now two more themes to choose from.
    • Added a new tutorial for cpu settings
    • Fix exception while trimming
    • Fix set-on-Boot won't execute under some conditions
    • Fix a bug where vsel4 won't be updated when saved
    • Fix a bug where Aero Control would crash while saving oc/uc values
    • Fix a bug where the minimum frequency won't update if overclocked
    • Fix cpu governor specific menu - its now a new button in the action bar and shows a warning if a parameter can't be changed
    • Updated translations: chinese (simplified) @struq, @spear1403 for croatian, @marcin92 for polish, @android74 for italian and german
    • And many more small cleanups and fixes for a better user experience!

    So quite big changelog this time and many things have changed and hopefully improved. This release has around 1600 lines of additions and
    around 500 lines of deletions. I hope you guys like it, probably the last release for this year :cyclops:

    I also registered myself as a developer for google play and yes, Aero Control is already available on the play store!
    The Play Store option has the advantage that you can update Aero Control automatically when there is a new update and also
    my server will thank you if you download it via google play :)

    Just pushed a new Version to google play (Google might take a while until they send auto-updates).

    While Aero Control should be the perfect debugging/tuning app for user as well as developers there was one thing that was missing;
    CPU Statistic. So i added this feature. You can now see how long the cpu spent in each frequency.
    I also added auto apply support for profiles (per-app-modes should be really easy to develop now).
    Furthermore i fixed this stupid bug that one can't see the cpu governor parameter values.

    See for yourself, the changelog;
    • Added CPU Statistic overview
    • Added Sweep2Wake Switch
    • Added a few more tutorials
    • Fixed a bug when choosing the CPU Governor Parameter
    • Fixed a bug where profiles won't apply automatically
    • Fixed perference back-Button behaviour
    • Optimized a lot of core functions and also reduced memory footprint (Aero Control should now use even less ram)
    • Updated translations: german, italian (@Android74), croation (@spear1403), chinese-simplified (@struq), portuguese @leandrolutz, romanian (@cyrusct82)

    As always you can grab the apk file from my server or if you want to download it directly from the play store.

    Thanks to all contributors and also thanks to all users which rate my app on the play store. This really helps me a lot!
    If you haven't downloaded it already, what are you waiting for?

    Aero Control moves out of beta!

    Hello guys,

    its finally available for everyone. Aero Control just reached version 2.0.0. This means we are moving out of beta finally (nearly one year after the first release).
    So this release is pretty much full of new stuff and features. I already talked about a few of them. A normal Aero Control release has around 40 commits,
    this one has 75+ and also over 6000 added lines of code. Yes, i was really busy the last couple of months. Since its such a big release and changelog, let
    me talk about the popular features in this release.

    The first thing you'll probably notice is a UI overhaul, i added a few bits here and there to make the experience a bit more playful. The second thing
    is the new and improved set-on-boot functionality. Instead of having one global switch to enable/disable the feature, you can set it individual for each
    item that has a checkbox to its right. So if you just want to experiment a bit, don't worry. As long as you haven't checked the checkbox you can experiment
    as much as you want. When you add a new profile each currently checked item will be assigned to this profile too.

    The next very big feature is called 'Your settings' and you can find it in the 'Misc Settings'. Its basically a filemanager to let you tweak/tune any desired
    file even if Aero Control doesn't support it out of the box. So in theory there are no limitations for devices/kernels anymore.
    There are many other new things such as improved per app profile handling and support for the upcoming "L" release, but it would take to long to talk about
    every change in detail.

    If you are curious, just checkout the (very long) changelog:

    We are moving out of beta, since i added everything i wanted to see in a kernel tweaking app. Since it features a complete rewritten base the future is very bright!
    I hope you enjoy this massive release and spread the word. I have worked nearly 2 months continuously to provide you this release and even bugged @Quarx to help me
    out in terms of reaching a new quality standard.

    Notice: Google might need some time until its available in the playstore.

    Hello Guys,

    just pushed out a new release of Aero Control!
    Just check out the Changelog;
    • Added a new CardLayout based interface for the overview panel (with a few additions)
    • Redesigning the CPU Statistics panel a little bit
    • Complete overhaul of the statistics data structures as well as its calculations
    • Fixed logcat spam if some files doesn't exist
    • Fixed a potential reboot during trimming
    • Fixed theme won't apply immediately
    • Fixed overclocking values won't show correctly in statistics
    • Made some base calculations smarter to be more efficient
    • Much more smaller stuff, check github for details
    • Updated translations: polish @marcin92, chinese-simplified @struq, italian @android74, croation @spear1403, romanian @cyrusct82 (thanks guys!)

    So all in all many many bug/logical fixes and also a small UI redesign. Some guy said he didn't like the overview panel with
    those italic font and since that very moment i started to think about how to redesign this. Also if you overclocked your CPU it should display
    those values now correctly. I spend much time on the statistics panel to tweak it as much as possible, basically i did a
    complete rewriting of the base data structure and how Aero Control loads those CPU values. Have fun!

    As always you can get the apk file from my server or download it via Google Play.
    Notice that Google needs some time until they give you the OTA update.

    I am also very thankfully if you leave a rating for my little humble app in the Play Store. This really helps
    me a lot!
