I know that you can use SetCPU to change the clock speed. But now I want to actually see the clock speed so I know that it is working.
Is there an app?
Overclock widget
Thanks yo!
And this won't interfere with SetCPU? Meaning, the two aren't going to battle for control of the processor?
SetCPU comes with a widget that displays CPU speed. Change the Active Refresh Interval to something besides passive.
As far as I can tell, the SetCPU only displays the settings. Like it will display the low setting and the high setting. You are saying there is a setting to display the current clock? I am going to look for it now. EDIT: I don't see it. Please advise.
Also, the Overclock widget doesn't ever seem to change. It is just stuck at 246, which is not correct. Uninstalling.
I edited my post to show how.
I really appreciate it.
Get it working?
I did, but I'm wondering about it's accuracy.
I have one profile set up, and one only. That is: when the screen is off to scale back to 245.
The main screen ranges from minimum to maximum and has Set on Boot checked.
However, the "real time" display on the widget only displays 245.
Is the widget wrong, or is my setup wrong?
I'm not sure. Mine is set on performance, so it stays at 1152mHz.

Okay, I don't know if this is the right place.. Or if it is currently even possible. (I know root isn't done or even close).. I figured development and this would be app development so it sorta works in this area.. But here's a little request for someone whose good with code and making apps:
But I want wondering if someone could create a custom auto brightness app that lets you set the max and min for the the auto brightness on the Incredible. I like the auto feature on the Incredible, but it gets way too high and drains the battery too quickly so I have to turn it off ..
So I would like to have an app that lets you set like EX: 5% as the minimum brightness and 40% as the maximum. Make it so you have have ajustable bars to move back and forth to pick your percentage or something along the lines of that. I think if someone managed to work some code and create this app it'd be heavily downloaded. So I was wondering if someone could make an app like this eventually in the future? Thanks again guys
Yeah, this would be cool. I am no developer, and there isn't anything in the market for this type if thing either, so i would assume it is really hard to do.
All you want it to do is be able to set the brightness? Just as a shortcut in a sense?
Dazzle is a pretty good alternative for the time being. hopefully someone can come up with something with something that does it automatically too.

(Sorry I'm Incredible53517 but I accidently had two accounts so we closed that one and now I'm just using my old one).
Okay, I want auto brightness but I want to choose how bright the phone gets bright and dim. I want to be able to set the max and min is what I'm saying and then have it automatically change by my surroundings...like the stock auto brightness does. I just think it'd be a nice features to have.. That's all. It'd save battery too.
This seemed like a good idea so I looked through the source code for Eclair and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. All you can do is toggle auto brightness on or off and adjust the brightness when auto brightness is set to off. There is now way to cap the minimum and maximum brightness in the auto mode. Perhaps this is required by the hardware.
Sure, but couldn't you write a program to automatically adjust the brightness (with auto turned off within the OS settings) and set your own caps?
I'm not an Android developer, but this seems like it might be possible.

I am only a noob dev myself, and I'm only seeing a way to set the brightness, not sense how bright it is (read from light sensor).

Okay, that's fine. I figured it would be hard since no one has really made it yet. But thanks for trying! I appreciate it!
if you use the android widget for... "power Control" it has all your stuff you like to turn on and off... wifi/BT/GPS/Sync/Brightness... if you tap brightness it goes from auto> full brightness> lowest brightness> back to auto... I didn't know this until I just started using the widget
the widget is included with the phone its not a download
Does the HD2 support reading cpu temperature and is it available with any android build / software available at the moment??
questions belong in the questions section.. easy answer is yes it does, some of the software you can use is setcpu. it gathers cpu info and displays temp in widget format in either F or C temp readings

oops thx for reminding will ask there, I use SetCpu but could not find any widget for it.
SetCpu reads CPU temperature if kernel and hardware supports it, therefore I am asking if HD2 and any available Android version does.
Moved to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783270
It works for me using battery indicator.
ya knolw how you add widgets to main screen by long clicking on a spot on main screen? press widgets on the box that comes up, then scroll down and press setcpu and apply and you'll have your setcpu widget

Using Setcpu widget and it shows a temperature, but anyone can explain why under all conditions the temperature is exactly the same with 5 battery widgets showing battery temperature
I think there is only 1 temperature diode or sensor available and some software say it is cpu, some say it is battery temperature

dont get what you're trying to ask, but shouldn't it be a good thing that all the widgets are showing the same temperature? it proves that its taking the data from somewhere and not just showing some random BS temperature..
Yeah, I think most people believe SetCPU is measuring the CPU temperature because it's called SetCPU not SetBattery, but the temp gauge is actually the battery temperature, which is why we get a range of around 90f/30c. I don't know of a way to have programs or settings actually respond to actual CPU temps, but I'd love to do the same if I could. I'm guessing that it's either not available or not easy because SetCPU is using the battery temp instead of the CPU temp which would be a lot more helpful. This is also the problem with setting the Temp value in SetCPU profiles because it's responding to a value away from the issue (high CPU temps).
What you will find is that if your environment is stable you will see the battery temp go up as the overall operating temp goes up, so it's not useless, just not useful.
Looked on google for this and found other people asking about it but no answer so far.
If i leave the screen brightness set to auto-adjust, the phone NEVER adjust the screen brightness down to it's lowest setting, even if i am sitting in a pitch dark room. Is there some way to adjust the range of the brightness setting so that it will actually use the lowest brightness? It seems beyond stupid that in a pitch dark room the screen doesn't go down to it's lowest level.
Most of the time i find the screen to be too bright, so if i could adjust the auto-brightness over-all to be darker, that would be cool too.
failing that, is there an app that makes adjusting the brightness quicker then digging down into the settings to move the slider?
thanks
I use widgetsoid (free) from the market place to do what you speak of and 7 other things as well.
i think i already have something that does what it looks like widgetsoid does. I have a button on the screen that i can tap that switches the screen between 3 brightness settings. i was just wondering if there was one where you could tap and get a slider. Seems silly to have the actual slider itself on the screen since that would take up so much room. But a button that would open up into a slider would be nice.
I'd still prefer to be able to adjust the autobrightness settings and use that if possible.
You can set autobrightness levels with tasker. There's a thread floating around with details.

Again, Widgetsoid does this. Once it is setup, modify, settings/Brightness Modes and set it Custom (Seekbar) or use one of the other 2 settings. You can change those as well with custom. Exit. Go to toggle and you have slider with one click on one button, which option of adding 7 more.

ah ok, cool, thanks. I'm going to see if i can find the thread about tasker since i'd prefer to have auto-brightness working better. if that fails then i'll give widgetsoid a try.
thank you
Just what I was looking for Screen brightness less then 10% and Less then Curvefish's toggle to 4%. I was looking for the 1% brighness and I think i got with the Widgetsoid only compaint is no exit after setting... Thanks
I'm looking for a decent app scheduler that can run an app by a set timed schedule?
I'm looking to start this screen dimming app (super dimmer), by a set schedule, around 8pm and to turn off at 6am.
The app itself does have an internal scheduler, but it does not work correctly, but the app works exactly as I need.
So what do I need to do this?
What exactly am i trying to do?
Well, I like the auto dimming feature of my phone, however at night, I do not like the lowest default dimming setting, I am comfortable with a much lower dim setting that Super Dimmer can provide. I basically want it to activate at sun down and deactivate at sun rise.
I would be even more interested in adjusting the phones default dimming ratio, if that is possible, if I can control and lower the auto dim setting in phone, that is preferable.
Taskbomb task scheduler?
Sent from my MyTouch 4G using XDA App
I did install taskbomb before writing this post, is that what I want to use? I just have no idea how to configure it.
Tasker is awesome. You shouldn't even need to use a secondary app with it.

Well looks like my idea did not work correctly. For some reason that program doesn't toggle on and off like I would need it to in order to work with taskbomber.
So this tasker app, does it allow for dimmer settings below the default android 0%? I'm looking for 200 levels.

I havent tried to myself, but it does have ability to ask for SU and device admin permissions so I bet it does.
I got it, tried it, it does allow for you to set lower than default values for some devices but for some reason it doesnt go as low as super dimmer did.......
Hmm I'm all out of ideas now!
I have mine set to 525 dp. I prefer having really small icons and text. Most of all I like forcing the tabbed UI in Firefox. I haven't noticed any real disadvantages.
I am curious to know what settings you all use besides the default one.
Yes. Using 702 dp
Is there a standard set of sizes that can be used that don't cause any display abnormalities? I see 525 and 702 and that I'm running 454 as per smallest OOS visibility setting. These seem like random setting but I'm sure they aren't.

600 seems to be the point where it reads as a tablet, as Chrome starts to have tabs at that setting. There are some other settings the device doesn't seem to like and will jump to the next highest number it likes. Example: setting it to 598, will automatically make it set to 600. Did not notice any abnormalities other than icon placement, which can be adjusted.
I messed with it the other day and my launcher wasn't changing. Anyone else have that issue?

Spotify calls my 6T as tablet even in smallest delault size. So I guess evvery app has their own definition of when a mobile becomes tablet.

I always used to set my phones to tablet mode, but at the moment it seems to break Google lens so I've had to set it just below. I don't really like the full width notification shade and lockscreen notifications, and miss chrome tabs.
Also, how does it affect the status bar \ notch?
it's dpi and screen ratio the wm command is easy way or get app that changes it
I use 600 in developer settings, font smallest, and screen smallest... I still have the original swype apk and prefer the 'tablet' version of the keyboard. This, and the fact i have a lot more 'real estate' are the primary reasons I set it to 'phablet' mode.
i mistakenly increased it to 600 and my device isnt working
I have changed it to 1200 and now pocof1 cannot load anything. Is there a fix to this?
hi can someone help me I recently changed mine by accident and i put it to 200 and now my tablet is on black screen if i hold the power button i can see the options to power off restart and lock it , i restarted it multiple time and power it off and on multiple times too . can someone help me
