Description
From the listing uploaded by “oldreliable”.
CpuFloat is a floating app which monitors several key pieces of system information. You can choose to show it on top of the current app, in the status bar or on the navigation bar so you can monitor your device without leaving the application you are using. This can be very useful if you are testing an app, running benchmarks, playing games, changing kernel settings, want to check your current network speed or quickly detect whether your device goes to deep sleep when you turn it off.
CpuFloat can be set up to be a big vertical floating view with lots of information or a smaller, less intrusive horizontal view.
CpuFloat monitors:
• Cpu frequency
• Cpu temperature
• Gpu frequency
• Gpu load; not normalised
• Gpu temperature
• Time awake and in deep sleep
• Battery current
• Network speed
Time
This counts the time your gadget has been active and in deep sleep, a battery friendly state. Sometimes apps don´t let your device go into deep sleep, this will shorten the battery time.
Temperature
If available the cpu and gpu temperature are shown. If not available you can choose the temperature sensor in the settings. This has been extensively tested on Qualcomm socs. On other socs this might not work as intended.
Cpu and gpu Trippoint
If the temperature gets higher than the trippoint temperature, it´ll turn red. You can change the value of the trippoint temperature in the settings.
Flexibility
You can choose what to monitor and where to show the floating window. CpuFloat can be a big vertical floating view with lots of information or a smaller, less intrusive horizontal view.
CpuFloat is a compact system tool with minimal permissions; vibrate, read sdcard, draw over other apps. There are no ads and it doesn´t use internet data.
Notice about changing app permissions on android M (6) and up :
Because of security reasons you can only change app permissions if there are no screen overlays or floating apps running, else you´ll get this error message:
Screen overlay detected.
To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps.
Just exit CpuFloat and try again, if it still doesn´t work, there´s another app using a screen overlay.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
