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

Thank you
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.

Does anyone knows if it is possible to monitor the battery temperature?
i use to with BATTERY STATUS but now i cant find that program for diamond
This is definitely possible. Batti has the temperature on its info screen.
you can also use Nuepower from no2chem

Hi guys,
I've released my first Android application on the market. It's a free battery monitor that notifies you when your phone is fully charged and gives you misc information. This is my way of saying thanks to all of the developers and ROM cookers here in this great website.
Hope you like it and please share suggestions to improve it
Change log:
- Customizable notifications
- Auto start at boot time
- Fixed full detection
- Fixed notification
If you like it, you can make a donation, just follow the link in my sign. It will keep me motivated to develop more applications based on what people need
Looks impressive, I was actually looking for something to display the percentage use rather than a green bar. Could this replace the conventional monitor on the right or must it remain an extra notification? The health I think is great too, well done!
Thanks for your input. Hum... I don't have a clue on how could I replace the conventional monitor on the right. If anyone has a clue on how to achieve this, or where can I look for this, please let me know.
Doesn't look possible sadly ... maybe a home screen widget would rock!
Nice application, competes with "Battery Indicator", they both essentially do the same thing but I think this looks more colourful for free.
My only issue is that the % doesn't display other than when it is charged. Fix that and make it skinable and I'm in! Maybe have it appear on the lock screen in a similair manner to the iPhone too .

Hum... on my device the % changes in realtime, whenever the battery decreases (discharging) or increases (charging). About skins... never thought about that. I was looking into getting battery history and estimate how much battery we have left in terms of time.
Updated to v4
What's new:
- Voice notification when full.
- Misc fixes.
Updated to v5
- Fixed force closes that happened when people don't have TTS on their devices.
- Battery and TTS objects are now independent of the interface, reduced the amount of code and optimized the framework.
- Only updates when the battery changes instead of timed checks of battery level, meaning much more battery efficient.
Updated to 5.7
Changes:
- Preview voice alert
- Configuration of Text-To-Speech settings from application
- Icons according to GUI guidelines
- Fixed the detection of full charge
- Uptime since boot of the phone (might change in the future for since charged)
Looks fantastic, nice work

I for one would prefer this ( or at least have it as an option ). This would be helpful since I switch the phone off at night.
Thanks.
seems nice! i'm going to try it. just two things i'd love to see:
a nice battery widget similar to "battery info" (with all extra data and maybe a quick enable/disable overclocked feature) and the ability to disable the status bar notification, at least when not charging, since i don't need it as it replicates the stuff i see in my battery widget.
if you add these two whings i'm going to donate for sure
I love it, one of the first apps i downloaded when i got the Desire.. Donating for sure.
Thanks guys, keep suggestions coming. I've changed the uptime to reflect every time we charge, by reseting the uptime variable to 0 when we plug it in.
I would like to see a battery widget geared for us using the after market high capacity batteries (Battery Left never seems to get it right). I would like the option to give the high and low mV values, and have the app base the percentage of the battery left using those 2 values.
Why we don't have the icon like on the screenshoot in the first post ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i have not installed/tried this yet, but i wanted to know, is there a setting, whereby a setting to set the fully charge percentage?
Li-lon battery should not 100% charged, right?
does this shut down after its done charging? Or does it use battery resources?
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.
I looked around for this but couldnt find it. I recently went to CM10 (12-26 nightly) from CM7 and noticed there isnt a navbar hide button like in CM7. Is there anyway to hide the navbar while in app? 90% of usage comes from my 3 year old daughter playing dr panda, cut the rope, where's my water, ect... and i know she will constantly hit the nav buttons if their not hidden like previously. I hate to go back to CM7 as this seems much smoother and prettier too.

Go to system-power menu-expanded desktop and select to enable it. When you want to hide Nav bar all you have to do is press power button for 4 seconds (just like rebooting). The menu pops up. Select expanded desktop to enable/disable Nav bar. When Nav bar is hidden long press n button to bring up recent apps.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!
Since you have 2 NC's do you have any tips for speeding up CM10? I set the CPU to performance and 1100 mhz on boot. Im really unfamiliar with kernels and such, I tried the V6 script before and didnt notice any difference.

The Nook Color has 512mb of ram, which 449mb is available for user programs. The optimal performance occurs when the CPU operates at 1100 MHz and free ram of at least 180mb. These are my settings for cm10: standard background apps running and kill app back button enabled in developer option-allows kill app by long press of back soft key in navigation bar, interactive governor, min CPU 300 MHz, max CPU 1100 MHz set on boot, I/o scheduler bfq set on boot, zram at 26%, purging of assets allowed and kernel same page merging enabled. I have never experienced sods with this setup-lucky for me. Over clocking to 1200mhz proved to be unstable most likely due to enabled hardware acceleration. CM7 does not have hardware acceleration, thus over clocking on that ROM went higher. I also turn off push notifications for email, games etc. These reduce battery runtime. I can't comment on v6 since I don't use it. Your mileage may vary. Hardware performance may vary on each device. That is why manufacturers underclock the processor even though the cpu is rated higher.

From my experiece and understanding, V6 does not really give a noticeable performance boost, it changes the OOM settings to help keep the device memory free so that you don't need to kill apps to free up memory. It can also change other settings to improve launcher stability, etc.
Looking for a good temp monitor app for both cpu and gpu that can put both in status bar, monitor real time Temps as well as show the highest temp spike, and or show overlay for games/full screen apps
Does this exist or anybody gave recommendation
Thanks if u can
