Share your Widgets!

Hi, this thread is for everyone to share & discuss their custom widgets made using Queen Beecon Widget or Desktop Command Execution Widget.

Let me start with mine,the Overclock Control Panel QBW widget.
For references check these old posts

This is a new version.Let me just recap what this widget does

Display temperature and perform smart overclocking i.e set max cpu clock according to how hot/cool the device is (runs at specified intervals).
A stock profile to revert to default kernel, disables smart overclocking.
An ideal profile to switch to ideal kernel, disables smart overclocking.
Display the current maximum cpu frequency.
In temperature(profile 1) auto mode, locking the device changes the limits to 250 500, unlocking makes it clock according to temperature again.

Installation:

Extract the contents of zip to a folder "occp" under MyDocs.
Run the following commands in terminal (may need to be root)

Code:

mv /home/user/MyDocs/occp/overclock /usr/local/bin/

mv /home/user/MyDocs/occp/underclock /usr/local/bin/

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/overclock

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/underclock

mv /home/user/MyDocs/occp/default.png /home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/

mv /home/user/MyDocs/occp/profile* /home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/

mv /home/user/MyDocs/occp/.OCCP /home/user/.OCCP

Now import the beecon file.Instructions here

You can switch between 3 profiles by clicking them

To use your own profiles go into advanced settings of the widget.
Only edit the first 5 lines:
Name_Profile_1=<actual name eg ideal, ulv etc>
Name_Profile_2=<actual name>
Disp_Name_Profile_2=<what you want to be displayed>
Name_Profile_3=<actual name>
Disp_Name_Profile_3=<what you want to be displayed>

Update and save the widget

Some variations requested by users:
beecon_OCCP_minfreq ........................ beecon_OCCP_min+batt

Another variation by gft2k1 here

If temperature is not displayed, run the following lines in terminal

Code:

sudo gainroot

modprobe bq27x00_battery

echo bq27x00_battery >> /etc/modules

Thanks to sacal for help with testing.
@moepda I created new images for the battery one, so it should look nice:)

Re: Share your Widgets!

Its a shame your instructions do not represent the actual QBW interface.

Re: Share your Widgets!

Kindly clarify.Those screenshots are from my device.In case you are seeing it full of some pale color then that means the images did not copy correctly to their locations.Please verify.

Re: Share your Widgets!

Nice update techie , may i ask in simplified terms the difference betwen this new version and previous occp ?
cheers moepda

Re: Share your Widgets!

my temp isnt being reported, rest is working! :)

Re: Share your Widgets!

i always prefered to put my overclock buttons in the status menu drop box, as i was always accidently hitting the QBC buttons on the desktop

Re: Share your Widgets!

likewise got that also leetut buddy but this qbw serves me better for info as i rarely use other clocks only under/overclock generally and this looks good on desktop and informative to boot :)

I can try to answer your question.

1 - In the first release all the code was in the qbw instance cmd. As the code was a bit large there where some doubts that qbw could handle that properly. In this new release most part of the code is in a separate file so the code in qbw instance cmd is mush smaller.
2- This new version also handles timer refresh in a smart way. If the phone is locked there is no need for timer updates and so there will be less battery drain.
3- As asked by some occp users (myself included) in this new version the frequencies only change in temperature mode. If the chosen profile is stock or ideal there will be no change in frequencies even if the phone is locked.

Re: Share your Widgets!

In the temprature column all i see is C as there is no number,
do you have any clue why?
btw already found how to make my OC profile :)
