looking to over clock my phone. Was wondering if there was a widget that I can place on my home screen which shows temp,battery %,and memory usage? I've seen the widget in a screenshot, but could not find it again. Any help much appreciated thanks!
Bump any ideas?

I prefer BatteryLife Widget, it has Temp and battery percentage, combined with OC widget. All you are missing is memory usage.

LOL. If you click that it shows No Search Results found.
Well done ch.
He's asking for some ideas, not how to be schooled in search. \
BTW, I also use the Batterylife, nice little touch of temp, volt and such on the widget.
Found this app today and thought it was worth sharing. It can do a lot of things such as LCD color adjustment, Sound EQ, Memory Manager, Temporary overclock, Button Remap, Touch Gesture, and much more.
It is in the market and the name of it is Galaxy tuner.
F.Y.I this only works on Froyo
P.S. It would be awesome if one of you developers could change the temporary overclock to a permanent overclock just saying.
good find ill have to try it.

I tried this a while ago. According to a few development its not even overclock as I don't think its possible and when using a widget it doesn't show higher then 1ghz. Soooo. Adjusting LCD color actually distorts the color slightly IMO. The mice thing is its free and technically all of the fubtion do, do something.

If that is the case I am not sure exactly what it does. I do know that when use quadrant to benchmark when it is "overclocked" it added about 150-200 to what my score was and in linpack it went from 13 to 16.

Same here. Without the overclock option on, I get about 1500 with quadrant. And whither it on I get about 1900

Just wondering what rom and kernel are you running because right now it seems like no matter what rom or kernel I flash i can never get over 1000 unless I use the temporary overclock which then brings me up to about 1300.
Galaxy tuner is a great tool, so is super power from the XDA developers in the market and its free too.

Just really curious and off topic. Do you by chance, go to Georgia Southern? Because I do.
How can this tool claim to overclock the cpu without a kernel that supports the higher frequency? Sounds like snake oil to me...
I've used it in the past to get EQ for use with Pandora. But that's all i've ever used from it. Lately I've just been using Voodoo Control Bass Boost feature to adjust for different headphones that I use.

Finally, and the best part is that its free.
(First launch you will have to download 530mb)

After the first 100 it speeds up. Sitting this out on my slow dsl..
I downloaded the game, started to download 530 mb and finished, when it was about to start it hanged.
WTF?
i started playing. u can play 1 hr free, then it asks for a full version. costing 12€
This game seems to be all I hoped it would be, except that the framerate is kinda low on high settings it seems. This is one of the best games on any mobile device right now in my opinion!

I've been waiting for this for a while. Unfortunately, I beat it in about five hours. However, that's if you only follow the main story line. It has tons of replay value. It's totally worth the 15 dollars.

This game is totally worth it!!!
After it managed to install and download 530mb successfully, this game was really well made. and the 15 dollars are worth the payment.
Has anyone tried playing this with a PS3 controller attached?
I'd much like to know if it works.

This sounded interesting so I tried it. but the game doesn't respond to any button presses from the ps3 controller.

That's sad... We should all make a request at the developer.
Can you play with the keyboard dock instead of the touch screen?
Finished the story line in less than 2 days
after story finished in every mission messages are repeated every 5 seconds and upon completing a mission one ends up in kind of a "message loop" (messages pop up over and over again and no way out)...
this looks great. Can the demo be replayed or is it a one time play through?

The demo can be replayed.
So you are saying there is essentially zero replay value??
I thoroughly enjoyed the game. While it was quite short (~6 hours for me), there are loads of side missions, which I am now accessing thanks to the automatic resume point prior to finishing the game.
The graphics are pretty nice, but it unfortunately plays too slowly on Medium or High settings in certain areas. Other areas, even High is fine... I prefer consistently high frame rate, though, so I just do Low everywhere. When Tegra 3 comes out, putting this game at High will be a dream. The fog makes High look absolutely gorgeous.
All in all, I like it. While $15 is a healthy chunk of change for a cell phone / tablet game, this truly reeks of console quality because of its depth.
I love this game, completely worth the $15
playing the game on high with a OC at 1.4ghz and running very smooth
Must say the game play and animation is somewhat arcade like and has a 2nd generation feel, so nothing to rave about imo, price tag pretty steep as well. Graphics looks pretty good but no way near pc quality, all in all not bad for a tablet game.
For those of you used to SetCPU, NSTOOLS and other apps to manage your custom kernels *plenty on our NS forums* I have found this little tool called CPU Tuner
I ditched NSTOOLS since last version has some stability issues when selecting SMARTASSV2 in my experience and others have also reported some issues with last update (I'm sure it will be corrected in next version).
This made me look for an alternative and found this little gem (only thing this app is not capable off is doing liveOC) but it's ok for me and I'm sure for others that like to run their kernels with default clocks put into kernels by the developers.
CPU tuner has profiles pre-made from easy to advanced features and they can be customized to your needs. I selected the most advanced profile and had made changes accordingly to my own needs.
I'm attaching pictures so you have an idea of what the app is capable of doing, I tested this app using Air_Kernel 3.1 voodoo version by r_data and I was able to get 18 hours of use with about 4 hours and 45 minutes of screen ON... that's a lot my friends. Without this app I was able to get more time about 24 hours but with only 3H30m of screen ON. I still am playing with this app as I need to experience what the best governors and frequencies to use depending on my day of regular use.
Please, feel free to try this app (totally free) and you may like it or you may hate it.
I'm just throwing some own experience here and hopefully you can make good use of this wonderful application.
Some info about profiles in this thread here
SCREENSHOTS:
See below in next post
Note: this app has replaced my app *tasker* which I used to manage CPU and Frequencies
Screenies below:
Hmmmm.... Will have to try this out.
If you do, please throw some feedback about your experience with this app.
Looks pretty decent. Might as well give it a shot.

Well, I am pleased with this app... tons of features to manage your custom kernels... you can set governors and different frequencies... I also see there's a function where you can set days to it....
thank you for introduce and recommand this app.
so cool to control cpu because I don't use any mod of ezekeel's.
Thank you.

I love my Revo, but I feel like I have too much widgets, therefore lack ram. that's why I want to see what type of widgets you use, and see how much ram that takes nad how much ram you have on average
I use facebook widget, color note widget, a clock, beautiful weather, a calendar widget, the my verizon, the notifications for GO launcher, and of course GO launcher.
when I clear my ram, I have about 160 mb of ram. (including email music and smart keyboard pro)
I feel like I'm lacking alot, and this prevents me from playing high quality games.
Yea you have kinda a lot of widgets. Right now the only widget I use is the advanced task killer. I use to use the Sense 4 Widget until I decided to use something new. Just divide your widgets down into what you really need then you should have less widgets.
indeed, the only widget I use is the SIMI clock widget on my main screen

I use all seven desktops and have them full of widgets. I decided this time around to only use widgets that came with the phone. The phone has no problems with RAM or battery. Seriously, not kidding. However, I have downloaded a couple apps that include widgets like Equalizer, SetCPU and WiFi teather.

My point is I stopped caring for it. I learned to trust the phone. On a good day I have noticed it stay steady at 40. On a busy day it goes down to 20-15. I use adw and have the dock and status bars hidden which saves a few bytes. The battery still lasts about 20 hours. That's with me plugging at twelve at night.

After my second revo I stopped downloading and installing crap games and apps that have in-app ads. It seriously helps with battery and phone speed. I do get the common launcher restart and a few screen freezes here and there but nothing that makes me want to throw my phone because of lag. I guess its just preference. I can capture my phone statistics and email them to you so you can compare.

BTW My phone even though it has like 60mb of ram that's when it starts to lag. Is this weird? because wheres the other 60 mb?..

Its not bad. I use my homescreens for 80 percent of activities and tasks. This phone really is badass. It helps if you minimize the amount of third party apps.

Like when I play scramble with friends, it lags then my whole phone lags, when i get like a text or something. then i cant even go to the task amanger to end it because it's so laggy so i end up taking out the battery.
I have 3 screens, 2 widgets running, 147 meg in use 154 free on stock rooted and things are pretty smooth. As much as I like MT's work and respect it, break out 1.1 just lagged to much for me. Even after boosting the low end core speeds coming out of sleep it would take forever for the phone to become responsive, stock for me is snappy, out of sleep the phone dialer opens immediately etc... I get great battery life on stock and as much as I dislike LG phones now, I do like home except the lack of being able to change the icons on the dock. I really would like different links. I have been off charge for 14 hours and still have 78% battery left light usage.
:::EDIT:::
NM just figured out how to change the links... lol... Had this damn thing a year and never knew... I like home a lot now...
I have ons screen using the status bar widget and I use the sstcpu widget. That's it. Widgets slow it down when you have a bunch running at once.

One thing worth mentioning in this thread is that you should remember android is linux. Linux utilizes ram a bit differently than what you're likely used to (Windows). A windows computer generally fills up the ram with all sorts of nonsense until it gets full, starts overflowing the data onto the hard drive, and lags (especially if you have a bunch of poorly written programs running all the time). In other words, on windows, more free ram is better, and that's pretty much all there is to it.
Linux (and therefore android) suffers from the same problem of course, if you fill up the ram completely by opening way too many programs it will still overflow the data to a swap partition.
On the other hand Linux tends to try to use the ram more agressively, because ram is much faster than the hard drives, so you tend to see the ram relatively full most of the time, especially when there isn't much of it to begin with, which is usually actually a GOOD thing... It means linux is doing it's best to go faster!
Again, of course completely running out of ram isn't good, you can still open too many programs and overwhelm the ram on linux/android, but the point is just because you see a lot of ram usage, doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem.
On another note the lag on my phone (with broken out) was clearly due to cpu governing... once I got my hands on the blitz kernel and set the min and max to decent settings I've not had it lag at all -- and it was BAD, lagging horribly ALL the time before that. I usually have a ton of crap running all the time too btw.
Just my 2 cents...
Edit: I should add that I'm not an expert by any means, but I'm fairly confident the above is correct. If not, sorry, it's only worth 2 cents!
i believe you are correct good sir.
As with making sure your RAM is under control, you can either use a task kiler or the one that is included in zep's supercharger. Shouldnt need to worry about RAM in newer phones as many will have 1gb+ DDR3 availible.

haha i love it. i got the keyboard dock and its exactly like a laptop with it attached. although it doesnt have the screen like the prime, i paid 550 for both the keyboard and the tablet and the ICS is very nice. 32gb tab is 400 and 150 for the keyboard.

I use Launcher Pro, and for whatever reason can only get 3 desktops (don't know why) anyway, I currently use GO Weather Widget, My widget for school, Facebook, Twitter, Rift (MMORPG), Sleep Bot. Rift and Sleep bot only take up 3 spaces on my main screen. the GO Weather is a 4x2 but they have a 2x1, 2x2 and 4x1, I like the 4x2 cause it has more stuff on it and its skins are fun too.
