Description

From the listing uploaded by “htcsense”.

*** REQUIRES ANDROID 4.0 (API level 14) OR GREATER *** ROOT IS REQUIRED *** A CUSTOM KERNEL IS REQUIRED FOR FULL FUNCTIONALITY! The app will offer you some features without a custom kernel, roughly ~50%. *** LAUNCH THE APP WITH THE KERNELS DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME Each section of KControl saves the current settings on first open. Ensure that those are default settings for your kernel. *** Why does KControl need permission x? CHECK_LICENSE - to check if the app was bought or pirated ACCESS_SUPERUSER (Root) - to access kernel specific, write protected, files RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - to apply your settings on boot ACCESS_WIFI_STATE - needed to obfuscate your device id with your mac address (neither can be extracted then) VIBRATE - test vibrate setting WAKE_LOCK - TEGRA ONLY: For Screen on/off to apply GPU clocks *** OFFICIAL SUPPORTED DEVICES: Nexus 5 (hammerhead) Nexus 4 (mako) Nexus 7 (grouper/tilapia) Nexus 7 (flo/deb) HTC One X (endeavoru) HTC One S (ville) Theoretically this app should work on any msm/tegra3 device. Tegra3 will lack thermal configuration. Functionality on stock kernels or custom kernels without Bricked features will be limited. *** FEATURES: Internal busybox to avoid compatibility issues Modify CPU frequencies for each CPU (and CPU voltages *1) Show overall CPU usage and for each CPU Show current CPU frequencies (current scaling and current min/max) Show CPU time in state Generates CPU Usage/Temperature graphs, limited to 10 mins of history, runs in background as long as you left KControl not using Quit or BACK.
