SLW Cpu Widget

A (s)imple, (l)ight(w)eight cpu widget, that displays cpu load without the need of any permission. No ads. 100% fat free! Only 23 Kb small so it won't eat up your device storage space. It updates only once per minute to extend your battery life. You can force a refresh by pressing the widget. (It is also a button)This is a widget so you need to drop it on your homescreen it is not an app.
There is a bug/feature on Android 4.x systems with widgets. If you can't see the widget in the widget list, try starting the App slw cpu app which only tells you: "you doing it wrong" after this you will see the widget in the widget list.

If you like more of those simple, lightweight widgets which only ask you for the permissions they realy need and don't fill up you phone with Megabytes of data even if they need to do only a small job then check out the other SLW widgets.

First off, it works, it's free, and it's not adware, so it automatically gets 4 stars. However, it constantly replaces it's CPU percentage dialogue with "Error" and won't usually go back, except some times. However, the visual indicator always works, so it's not worthless. I hope the developer will add some periodic check to get rid of the error in the future.

The widget does not work on my Modo Z Force. When added to a screen all it says is "loading". It never gets past this.

Just the application i wanted for my homescreen. Maybe using another chip icon-image, will make the app look like more proffesional

Just can't see it. Would be a cool widget but it's size renders it useless.

Is talkback accessible, just reads out the percentage that the cpu is being utilized. I was hoping it would report the cpu clock speed, that's my reason for knocking a star. This does what it says it does so that really isn't fair.

I love this app, it's exactly what it says it is, and hardly any permissions. Worked great on my HTC Inspire as well.

Its ok when it works. I guess the creator was doing it wrong when she made it.

Good app. Measures processor output as it's supposed to. Nice small widget. Small download and no awkward permissions.

Very nice! Easyest app ever!! CPU info showing that my killing running programs was most often not nessary. Now I just relax and enjoy. ^_^

This is very slow & seems to be eating 30% of my battery :/

Doesnt even do anything i compared it with real cpu usage and it doesnt match DOESNT WORK

Ter. D. Oct 31, 2013     

I don't know, I just downloaded it. But it's less than 25, which equals at least 4. That's kB's and stars. LaTeRz.

Ant. K. Aug 18, 2013     

Always shows 99%

Awesome "little" widget. Hands off to the development team.

PLEASE FIX IT AND I WILL INCREASE THE STAR.

Not working..next..hampeh

A. G. u. Jul 20, 2012     

The display is just too small to be used on a mobile phone. My phone has a 4.3" screen and the widget is too small to be read. Even with my glasses on, I cannot read it.

A. G. u. May 24, 2012     

It does it's job, however it glitches many times and there is no reload button on it. So when it glitches I need to put anther CPU widget on the screen which will make it reload again and thus give the proper number. - It needs an update on this.

A. G. u. Feb 6, 2013     

That is just "Stupid" to just GUESS when the CPU is working hard or not.? Your obviously a NOOB to even say that, so your advice is now Invalid. You obviously know nothing about apps, so sshhhhh, be quite, LOL Of course it will use Cpu, so little it has NO EFFECT on the battery consumption what-so-ever, all it does is report, it's that simple!

A. G. u. Apr 4, 2012     

Would give 5 stars if it had tap-to-refresh option. I find myself staring at it for too long to make sure processor drops to idle before turning my screen off

A. G. u. Feb 20, 2012     

If you download this app then your probably quite cautious and worried about your cpu speeds and stuff this app will increase your cpu load ( regardless how minute they say it will). Personally would prefer to just guess when the CPU is working hard
