I have recently moved from an Axim x51v (WM6.1) to HD2 and am keen to move all my old, favourite apps to the HD2. Mostly I have had successes eg Recordian, Mindmap, HandBase4, Listpro, etc. Some glitches with selecting from the drop down calendar under HTC Sense were solved by a registry tweak, and the command display bar at the bottom of the screen was sorted in these old apps when I got spbShell. So pretty happy with the move, though I am yet to find a dibber for the HD2 that works - have tried 3 different patterns, all useless, but have not yet faced up to the high cost of the Digi Stylus which is the last type to try (foam rubber and solid rubber ends just don't work for me). Battery life is accpetable if I keep the juice hogs like Wi-Fi and BT only turned on when needed; the 400mA charging rate means I can use an external Lion battery Proporta Mobile Device charger in my case) if I run into low battery situations.
However ... I am stuck on Journal Pro, so the question is to someone who uses this ancient, but excellent app: how to get the display font to appear at the same size as the input font. The HD2 weirdly displays 2 font sizes in this app - one huge one which is the stored text, and also a reasonable size when inputting, one over laid on the other in the text window. There must be a registry tweak but it doesn't appear under Journal Pro, I've tried hunting the obvious stuff. Has anyone experience of Journal Pro?
I'm thinking about learning to skin, mostly because it seems impossible for me to find exactly what I want to do so I have to do it myself. I can't get too crazy with live wallpapers and such though, as theres limited resources such as processing power and battery use. So my questions are:
How much processing and battery does it take to draw shapes, as opposed to displaying an image (from file)?
How much processing and battery does it take to slide images around, such as for switching screens?
Would I be using less resources if I used a small image and tiled it over the whole screen, as opposed to having a large picture?
Do images get drawn in layers? If I keep stacking images on top of each other, is it going to be a huge hog?
I don't mean exact amounts, just relative amounts on whats efficient for Android (for which I know very little of). I'm guessing it would perform like a browser would?
I am looking for an Android-App that is like BattClock under WinMob.
I loved it and miss it now.

It show little stripes (1 pixel height) to show whatever you want:
- CPU usage
- Mem usage
or to overlay some other information like battery drain (so the recent current) ...
As this is located in upper bar, it doesn't use space and can be seen everytime.

Look for System Tuner (formerly Process Monitor Widget) in market. It's free. There's even a paid (pro) version.
Thanks! Could get it working to show CPU% and CPU MHz. Struggle with mA. Imho, mA is the most important value and should be visible everywere - that's why I like it in status bar. So you can see, whether there is still some process/HW is consuming power ..
Hello,
Memy is a very simple tool that displays an ongoing notification with your phone's RAM usage. You can customize the notification color and change the units (absolute values or percentage). It might be useful for those of you who experiment with system's memory management, optimization etc.
It's available on Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.borwoj.memy
Android 5.0 or newer is recommended to get all of the features.
Any feedback appreciated.
Profiler
Real-time component monitoring in floating window. You can customize layout, its size and transparency. You can set your prefered data format and chart color for better clarity.
Supported components: (Depends on data provided by your device)
CPU load
GPU load
RAM usage
Network traffic
Temperature
Battery voltage and temperature
If you want to translate this application into your language, here you have, what you need.
Some points from development:
Development took me more that 200 hours.
Development of component monitoring without UI took about 10 hours.
No 3rd party library was used.
Size of APK is only 103kB.
APK contains only application icon and 9-patch image for shadow, everything else are drawn into canvas.
I developed this app more for fun that I really need it.
Project was created in March 17, 2014 in Eclipse.
Application was tested on 7 android phones and 2 tablets before public release.
Application is written in Java in 7013 lines of code.
Known issues:
When you use same monitor twice (ex. RAM), in first one maximum is set at 2GB and in second one maximum is set max from all values, you will get unpredicted behaviour of second one.
Device compatibility list
For manual installation use APK in attachments.
Add or include a gadget option so that we can add it to homescreen! It would be amazing!

Do you mean android widget? Why do you need it? What do you want to show on homescreen?
That's what I meant, widgets >.< (confusing).
For example, If I have 3 pages of homescreen, I can have one for extra apps, middle one for main used apps and third one for widgets, if I could see how my phone is doing just by swipping to the side instead of opening an app, it would be amazing.
(This app is great, if it were a widget to place on homescreen it would be really amazing, since most of those that exist are not very useful and very buggy).

Thanks to your thought, I have an idea that is easy for implementation. It is just simple 1x1 widget or some icon on homescreen for turn on monitor. So you do not have to go to the application, tap on enable and go back. You can just tap on icon on homescreen to show monitor.
I just uploaded a new version, which fixes some bugs.

Adding a widget 2x2 or 3x3 which shows cpu, temps, internet and ram info would be great .
:good:

I will add it to the TODO list, but at the moment, there are many other features that I want to implement firstly. You have to be patient
At the moment, I am working on battery current monitor and better compatibility with temperature monitor.
I added "Known issues" section.
Are you planning to show also CPU frequencies?

Yes, display CPU frequencies is in my TODO list. Now I am working on battery current, next thing will be CPU frequencies
Thanks!
The new version with battery current monitor is in a closed beta version and it looks good.
New version with battery current monitor was released
Because of new version has better compatibility with temperature monitor, I added application version into device compatibility list.
I just released a new version of the application that fixes many bugs.
How are you calculating RAM usage, please?

Ram usage is calculated as MemTotal - (MemFree + Buffers + Cached).
