[announce] maxCPU widget - change the max CPU's clock with a TAP!

maxcpu is a little home-desktop widget, python writed, that allows you to change the max CPU's clock with a TAP!
This widget works only with the "Enhanced Linux kernel for power users" (alias Titan or Pali Kernel): packages "Enhanced Linux kernel for power users" and "Enhanced Linux kernel for power users (settings)" must be installed.
Changes will not remain after a reboot.
Remember that the intensive use for extended periods of CPU clock frequencies exceeding 600 MHz could be dangerous.

Version 0.1.6-2 (not compatible with power-kernel v49) in repository Extras free

Version 0.2.0-0 available in repository Extras-testing

Please, test and rate for karma

Re: [announce] maxCPU widget

It is loaded into the repository, but currently does not appear while using appman. I do not know why. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

Re: [announce] maxCPU widget

Does it have "user" as one of its... what do you call them..? Categories, or something? Like, the way software is sorted on the downloads page on this forum in Desktop, Utilities, Other, Science, System, etc...

The N900 app manager doesn't show things in the repos unless one of its categories is 'user'. I thought FApMan had an option to see them or not, but I haven't seen it recently when looking around the settings area. Perhaps it was taken out because too many people thought it was a good idea to install stuff they didn't understand or need or know how to use? *Shrug*

Re: [announce] maxCPU widget

u can download using fapman by clicking the little C at the bottom right when in the download list and clicking on all packages (advanced). then do a search :)
warning dont download anything other than maxcpu or other apps that u specifically know u should download because it can screw up your n900!

It is not an application, but a home desktop widget... TAP on desktop to insert it!

I use this script, but I am not the author

Code:

echo CPU: `awk '{print $1/1000" MHz"}' /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq` `cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/temp`°C;

first you have to load a module (only the first time)

Code:

sudo gainroot 

echo bq27x00_battery >> /etc/modules 

modprobe bq27x00_battery

same problem here.!
but maxcpu doesn't even appear in die list for desktopwidgets... I looked for the the maxcpu.desktop-file, but it is correctly installed and I reinstalled the whole widget a few times...
it won't appear in die list... and it isn't already insert anywhere...

also when I tried to install the .deb with the standart app-manager it says that maxcpu isn't kompatibel... so I installed it via x-term.
but I have the power-kernel, this can't be the problem...

do you have any ideas what's the problem?!
thanks!

Re: [announce] maxCPU widget

Please, open x-terminal and put this command:

Code:

root

python /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/maxcpu.py

Do you retrive any errors?
yes: post the log
no: go back to the desktop (without closing x-terminal). You must see the widget (look at all that your destkop)

Sorry to ask this, but why would I want my max cpu posted on my desktop?

It seemed to work fine for me.

Good for you. :)
I take it that the python libraries are installed on n900

m750	2011-01-09 10:01

Re: [announce] maxCPU widget

Now the widget is in the right category and soon should be visible with appman (need more votes for his Karma, or will be available only after the Epiphany :) )

Thanks to @Mentalist Traceur and especially thanks a lot to @fgs: grazie Floriano per tutte le informazioni utili!

[EDIT]
New version available in extras-testing with small fixes, changes and improvements.
I ask to try it and vote for him so that he can go to "Extras Fremantle free"
Thanks! :)

@m750

-i have my own kernel settings to load @boot (500-1000mhz) and this widget does not touch my settings.

thanks...one more question, how does it work?? for me i have to change from qcpu first then the widget working....can i change directly using maxcpu? or i missed something? when i click plus button the popup ask yes or no and when i hit yes, the power kernel doesnt change...pls xplain...tq

m750	2011-01-09 14:19

Re: [announce] maxCPU widget

QCPU not needed.
Please, open x-terminal and put this command:

Code:

python /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/maxcpu.py

Go back to the desktop (without closing x-terminal). You must see a new widget (look at all that your destkop).
Try to change frequency with "+" button and confirm with "yes".
Go back to x-terminal and post output, please.

Re: [announce] maxCPU widget

@CasTTeLLo
I think maybe you have some problems with some dependencies or in environment variables (theme related). Which theme do you use?
Do you have other applications python writed?

I can't anything else to do, at least for now, sorry.
Maybe try this in x-terminal:

Code:

root

apt-get update

apt-get install -f

apt-get install --reinstall gtk2-engines-sapwood

Re: [announce] maxCPU widget

This is a great widget.

I'd love for it to have the option of stepping through my various kernel presets as well (ie: ideal, lv, ulv, default, etc.)

Hi guatarm9, the output should be a little bigger..
Please log all.

Hi, @Bingley Joe
Thank you for your compliment. I can do whatever you want, but then would no longer be a handy widget.
