Is there an app/widget that displays the processor clock speed?

I know that you can use SetCPU to change the clock speed. But now I want to actually see the clock speed so I know that it is working.
Is there an app?

Overclock widget

Thanks yo!
And this won't interfere with SetCPU? Meaning, the two aren't going to battle for control of the processor?

SetCPU comes with a widget that displays CPU speed. Change the Active Refresh Interval to something besides passive.

As far as I can tell, the SetCPU only displays the settings. Like it will display the low setting and the high setting. You are saying there is a setting to display the current clock? I am going to look for it now. EDIT: I don't see it. Please advise.
Also, the Overclock widget doesn't ever seem to change. It is just stuck at 246, which is not correct. Uninstalling.

I edited my post to show how.

I really appreciate it.

Get it working?

I did, but I'm wondering about it's accuracy.
I have one profile set up, and one only. That is: when the screen is off to scale back to 245.
The main screen ranges from minimum to maximum and has Set on Boot checked.
However, the "real time" display on the widget only displays 245.
Is the widget wrong, or is my setup wrong?

I'm not sure. Mine is set on performance, so it stays at 1152mHz.

[Q] [CM7.2] Low quality colors?

I noticed the other day that all the colors of everything had low quality. I think low bit depth is the correct term, but meh. I have check the "Use 32bit frame buffer" in Nook Tweaks, and I haven't changed much of the settings from default. I don't remember if it was like that to begin with or if it happened after something, but widgets and backgrounds and everything all have low quality. I have also tested different CM themes to see if that was the problem, but it's not. Any ideas? It's not terrible quality, but it's very noticeable and irritating with even slight gradients.

Settings / Cyanogen Settings / Performance / uncheck Use 16bit transparency
See if that helps.

hehe. Very good advice. I though it was normal since I adjusted few settings.

It's been unchecked. I initially thought that was it, but it wasn't. Maybe check, reboot, uncheck, reboot again, and see what happens. EXPERIMENTATION!
Edit:
Nope, no change. Huh. I'd post a screen shot, but currently I'm at school and the Nook can't get through the proxy yet (posting from a computer).
Edit 2:
There's no difference between it checked and unchecked after reboots. Weird.

[Q] CM10 hide navbar like CM7

I looked around for this but couldnt find it. I recently went to CM10 (12-26 nightly) from CM7 and noticed there isnt a navbar hide button like in CM7. Is there anyway to hide the navbar while in app? 90% of usage comes from my 3 year old daughter playing dr panda, cut the rope, where's my water, ect... and i know she will constantly hit the nav buttons if their not hidden like previously. I hate to go back to CM7 as this seems much smoother and prettier too.

Go to system-power menu-expanded desktop and select to enable it. When you want to hide Nav bar all you have to do is press power button for 4 seconds (just like rebooting). The menu pops up. Select expanded desktop to enable/disable Nav bar. When Nav bar is hidden long press n button to bring up recent apps.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!
Since you have 2 NC's do you have any tips for speeding up CM10? I set the CPU to performance and 1100 mhz on boot. Im really unfamiliar with kernels and such, I tried the V6 script before and didnt notice any difference.

The Nook Color has 512mb of ram, which 449mb is available for user programs. The optimal performance occurs when the CPU operates at 1100 MHz and free ram of at least 180mb. These are my settings for cm10: standard background apps running and kill app back button enabled in developer option-allows kill app by long press of back soft key in navigation bar, interactive governor, min CPU 300 MHz, max CPU 1100 MHz set on boot, I/o scheduler bfq set on boot, zram at 26%, purging of assets allowed and kernel same page merging enabled. I have never experienced sods with this setup-lucky for me. Over clocking to 1200mhz proved to be unstable most likely due to enabled hardware acceleration. CM7 does not have hardware acceleration, thus over clocking on that ROM went higher. I also turn off push notifications for email, games etc. These reduce battery runtime. I can't comment on v6 since I don't use it. Your mileage may vary. Hardware performance may vary on each device. That is why manufacturers underclock the processor even though the cpu is rated higher.

From my experiece and understanding, V6 does not really give a noticeable performance boost, it changes the OOM settings to help keep the device memory free so that you don't need to kill apps to free up memory. It can also change other settings to improve launcher stability, etc.

[Q] Reducing lag by increasing min CPU clock

Hi Everyone,
Just got my S4 a week ago and it's great, aside from the occasional lag when I turn the screen on or during the transition animations. Does anyone have experience with increasing the min CPU clock in order to decrease this kind of lag? The default is 384MHz -- any recommendations as to what this should be set to instead?
I understand that we can flash custom kernels in order to unlock further CPU clock steppings and CPU features -- but I'm more concerned about the stock ROM and stock kernel for now.
Thanks

The easiest way to get rid of the lag is by turning off the animations.
This can be done in the developer options in settings.
You reveal the developer options settings by going to "Settings" -> "About Device" and tapping "build number" until it says you are a developer.
No root or custom kernel required.

Is there a reason you couldn't have posted this response in your other thread about this exact same topic?

I just checked "force GPU rendering" under developer mode. That smoothed out everything. Battery life doesn't seem to be affected by it. I really love it.

Solved: High brightness mode getting disabled in Ex Kernel manager... on Frankenclark

I have flashed Frankenclark kernel then dled Ex kernel manager.
I don't know what to tweak in this kernel.
When i enable High brightness mode it enables but sometime after when i open it is Disabled... let me know if its not supported or i have to check something to get it permanently enabled.
Also i want to increase blue tint little bit but i am not getting proper settings in advanced color control.
Somebody please let me know how to use the settings and tweaks

It turns off when you turn off the screen. It's shouldn't be on all the time, it's way too bright. Check out the widget in my signature if you really want it to stay on all the time.

It got fixed now and is enabled and working even after reboot, i just ticked on right icon and reboot... loving it so much now and screen is looking more awesome and brighter than before and i don't even have to set it to 50%... its on 30% now and is way better than many other screens.
If i even increased it to 50% for movies and games it looks perfect awesome :good:
Anyway thanks for the reply.
