  • Fixed: App won't open / Force close (I'm are terribly sorry for the inconvenience!)

Could anyone confirm that the app is working and opening again? I don't own all the devices of the world you know ;)

Please go to the Tinycore app info to make sure you're running the new version 2.2.1 (14). The Play Store may or may not updated the apk yet.

Thank you. New version opens and works fine so far. Testing the multiple cores now where I had an issue before.

Thanks.
Just to clarify, CPU never go to 0 but only to 200(min frequency).
See screen shot below.
Blue bar are the 4 cores at max frequency and in the other app we see 2 cores offline.

Hello, I still have issue above.
Now I can see core offline even when they are not offline. Let me say that the status change from offline/not offline and not offline /offline is very slow about minutes.

Could you provide some more information, what governor are you using? You could try forcing your cores to be offline using a CPU core manager app.

For the time been I'm full stock I9300XXUGNA8 with root. So no cutoms kernal no debloat etc.
Governator is pegasusq..

Tinycore always see at least 1 core off line and is not always the same. Some time core 2 some time core 3 or both :confused:

Just decided to try this out. Within five minutes I purchased pro (AMAZING price BTW) for further customization. As the kind of guy who likes to keep track of my CPU I find this to be the most simple and elegant solution. I've used CoolTool before, but this is truly a transparent view and I am absolutely loving it. Got mine at 2px height under my status bar, and it is just about the coolest thing ever.

Left you a lovely 5* review on the Play Store. Thanks for your development!

*Edit*
BTW I should mention I'm running Android 5.0.1 and everything is working great!

Thank you! :)

You mean like one monitor at the right and one on the left? Thats not posible at the moment (altough there is a hack). This is something I would like to implement in the next update.

Hack method:
Set up three monitors, make the middle one fully transparent. For ultimate performance tweeking you should make the transparent monitor of a type you're already using. So it won't cost that extra 0.01% of cpu ;)

Example:
Layout:
-Use fill width

Monitors:
[CPU, weight: 1][CPU, transparent, weight: 6][RAM, weight:1]

    Tinycore

    Tinycore is a tiny and highly customizable cpu and memory monitor gadget that will fit your status-bar or any other place on your screen perfectly. With this app you will always know how much Ram your device is using how much load your CPU has or even on what frequencies your CPU is running.

    Tinycore is in fact a small overlay window, the overlay is so small that most people wont even notice it's there. No matter what you do on your device Tinycore is always there to tell you the whats going one inside without distracting you or using lots of your valuable screen space.



    In action
    This is an example of how Tinycore could look when placed on top of the status-bar! Of course many more styles can be created! (See attached images for full app screenshots)

    Before Tinycore
    qlYsjh8.png


    Tinycore enabled
    d9VD1Ui.png




    Goal
    Tinycore is designed to be lightweight, fashionable and to be highly customizable! The 'impact' on system resources like Ram and CPU aren't noticeable at all, which is great because no one wants a resource eating monitor. The application tries to follow official android developer guidelines as much as possible and comes with the simplicity and beauty of the famous Holo theme.

    Although Tinycore has some pro features the basic version of the app is fully usable! For the full customization experience some pro features can be unlocked inside the app using Google In-app-billing.


    Screenshots

    Download
    Currently the app is only available trough Google Play




    If you like Tinycore you may want to check out my new game BubbleTap :)

    BubbleTap xda thread


    Key features
    • Display CPU usage or Ram usage
    • and CPU frequency (pro)
    • Add up to 8 different monitors to your status-bar! (pro)
    • Customizable colors
    • Multi-core support (pro)
    • Automaticly start at boot
    • Customize the location
    • Optional "Keep-alive" notification
    • Customizable width
    • Customizable height
    • Customizable update interval (pro)
    • Customizable colors
    • Float below status-bar (pro)
    • Reverse orientation

    Permissions
    Tinycore uses only the most highly necessary permissions and nothing more!

    • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED This permission is used to start the app automatically when your phone boots
    • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW Must have permission for this app, without this permission the app is not capable of showing the monitor


    Feedback
    The main reason I created this topic was because I would really like to get some feedback. I did not have the chance to fully test this app on devices with 8 or more cores, if you have a problem or got some great ideas! Let me know!
