cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

Which is better?

I know load-applet slows down your OS, but does cpumem-applet do the same?

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

cpumem-applet didn't work at all for me.
but you may want to try both of them and decide for yourself which one suits you more;)

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

i used to use both, now i have neither, i figure theyd both slow ur device.......

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

Hmm, any info you can share about cpumem-applet not working for you?

The cpumem-applet and load-applet regarding to cpu/mem bars at status-area are identical, so they either both work, nor neither works... :) So far I've heard 0 reports of cpumem-applet not working.

If you find a way to reproduce, file a bug at cpumem-applet at bugs.maemo.org

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

Heh, cpumem-applet is very minimalistic and wastes very very little cpu. It once a second updates its tiny icon, and thats it. I'm not aware of cpumem-applet causing any slowing down, other than making you actually realize when the device is CPU bound (by some other app).

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

first i had load-applet installed.
wanted to try cpumem, uninstalled load-applet and installed cpumem.
even after some reboots it didn't show up in the status-bar as it should?!
(don't know if it was under PR1.0 or PR1.1... i will try it again and report! maybe it was just some weird thing going on in 1.0 ^^)

edit: works now. no differences for me. it's just the same. (the screenshot and video capture capabilities make no difference in cpu usage at all. just for users who want a lightweight app (regarding the rootfs usage ^^).)

will try the maemo5-load-applet. :)

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

Both are the same when come to display cpu and memory usage. The only difference between both apart from displaying usage is the the load applet has a screenshot and video cast feature built in. You'll see the cpumem-applet is the strip down version of the original load applet if you look at the details in application manager

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

This sounds like you installed version 0.0.1 from devel which didn't load correctly, but extras-devel stuff by definition is not ready. 0.0.3 (in extras now) passed with flying colors the testing QA and there has not been a need to release newer version as nothing is broken.

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

I perfer load-applet since it has the screen shot and video cast right there. Guess I just perfer to hit a button for a screen shot than doing the keyboard shortcut

Re: cpumem-applet or load-applet?
 

is the video capturing already working? :)
