Are you going to have a Free and Pro version like for example Trickster Mod has it? or after the beta is over it is just going to be a Pro version?

Thanks for the app, it is great.

Erik

Only a paid next version. The app will be free on xda and stay one or two updates behind. Only the next version will be in the play store. So only a donate version. I won't add advertising or anything else

wonderful app, and you are a machine of a developer!
I can share some ideas of what you could add:
profiles would be cool, but not really necessary,
and kernel-individual features such as intelli_demand or eco-mode... my current kernel doesnt support them, so if they already exist please ignore me

First. My little pony is awesome

Profiles aren't planned at the moment because I think the governors are advanced enough to decide what frequency to set etc. The sleep profiles are even harmful. The keyword is race to idle. Intellidemand is a governor which needs kernel support. I thought about adding it for vm parameters (infrequent flushing while on battery and frequent while on ac) and other stuff, but total global values are hard to implement because I want a plugin interface etc.

Ok, the app is great and I definitely would buy it once it goes into the Play Store, here is a couple of things I have noticed. when switching between CPU, Memory & I/O, Miscellaneous and Info sections the app opens a new tab each time you select a section, by the time I was done and wanted to exit Kernel Control I had to hit the back nav button 8 times before the app could exit. Another thing, and this is more of a request, could it be possible to have a notification message stating set on boot was successful, the message is available for improper shutdown but not for successful set on boot.
I have the app installed on a Nexus 10 running PAC 4.3

Again, Thanks

Erik

Amazing app, works like a charm on Razr i, just an suggestion: holo dark version or the hability to change theme on the go like Performance Control by AOKP, Thanks!

Oh damn

This was on my ToDo list but yeah other stuff got in the way and I totally forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me

Yeah thought about a notification. Most likely I will add a Toast because a notification is to annoying (for every successful boot). Or maybe via settings choosable (not at all, toast, notification). The nice thing about nothing at all is, it seems to work like magic

Still thinking about a way to make dark cards nice looking. Dark cards look kinda ugly imho

ricco333 · Aug 28, 2013

Any type of notification is fine, choosable in settings even better. +1 about dark cards being ugly.

Erik

keenofhiphop · Aug 28, 2013

no dark design please

and i meant intelli_plug, not demand^^
Bit confused....

Never heard of intelli_plug. Sounds like it is device specific.

it is for quad-core devices but works on double cores as well.
It is similar to mpdecision in qualcomm kernels, shortly it decides when to switch off cores. maybe it is qualcomm specific, i dont know much about it.

Oh I see. Yeah that's the 3rd party stuff I'm talking about. The stuff why I'm designing a plugin interface

. Too much stuff to add. Every device has a plethora different interfaces. Would be a major PITA to add this manually without neglecting some users and no possibility to test the result (I only own 2 phones and 1 tablet

).

Anyway: Fixed lots of bugs and incorporated all feature requests

Update 7

Hi,

huge update

obligatory crash fixes
fix the navigation stack
boot restore: New notification/toast/no notification for a successful restore (selectable in settings)
boot restore: notification for a unsuccessful restore
Switch from Crittercism to ACRA for reporting. Better reports for me . You can disable it in settings if you like tinfoil heads. If you want to help me, add your mail address to a crash report (in settings).
Analytics integrated (you can disable it in settings if you are a tinfoil guy )
Feature request via mail in settings
Link to g+ community in settings
Some UI changes/fixes

Thank you. Very nice app. I would like to ask you what you are using to take bug reports. I am interested in using it into my apps too. Cheers

ACRA it's free and open source. Good arguments for it.

Huh? This isn't really a specific report. Which app version do you use? Is it crashing?

Thank you. I suggest putting a link to this thread under "Google+ community" . I am looking forward to your next update.

Hi,

just a small heads up. Nearly done with the plugin interface and it's working out awesome

. Nearly done with it. Just a few more things to finish.

Screenshot Menu (App name and Icon are pulled from the plugin app)
Screenshot Plugin

For the plugin I just needed to write a tiny bit of code:

Code:

public class KernelPluginInterfaces extends KernelInterfaceMessageService {
    private int mID = 0;
      [user=439709]@override[/user]
    public void addInterfaces() {
        int sound_category = mID++;
        add(new Category(sound_category, "Sound tweaks"));
        add(new SeekBarKernelInterface(mID++, "Headset Boost", "/sys/class/misc/soundcontrol/headset_boost",
                "Boost the headset output", -30, 30).setCategoryID(sound_category));
        add(new SeekBarKernelInterface(mID++, "Volume Boost", "/sys/class/misc/soundcontrol/volume_boost",
                "Boost the volume output", -20, 20).setCategoryID(sound_category));
        add(new EditTextKernelInterface(mID++, "Cores on Touch", "/sys/class/misc/mako_hotplug_control/cores_on_touch",
                "Cores going up after a touch", 1, 4));
    }
}

The whole checking, reading, ui generating is done by my app. I just need the path, a description, possible steps (like increment in 10) and min and max values. Currenlty I have 4 types of "types". Categories, SeekBars, EditTexts and Switches. I will add more types later (maybe on request from developers).

So if you have a favorite kernel developer who uses interfaces, you may can link him/her to this thread. It would be awesome

.

An example app with docu will be released later on my github. Just need to write docu and smooth some things out

. If you don't need docu, I can send you a PM with the lib.

Edit:

Oh and this is the first "API" I have written. I'm open for improvements

natezire71 · Sep 8, 2013

I can't get over how nice the interface looks. I'm mega impressed. Awesome work!

scottx . · Sep 8, 2013

Looks nice. Seems unorganized.

Not going to replace trickstermod yet but keep at it and it might one day.
