CPU Spy Gets an Android Lollipop Makeover

At some point in the distant past, you probably heard of CPU Spy for Android by XDA Retired Recognized Developer storm717. We talked about it back when it was originally released quite a few years ago, and in the time since, the app has become a staple for those looking to fine tune both performance and battery life through kernel and governor tweaks.

Fast forward three years, and we’ve seen quite a lot of change in the Android world. As our devices evolved, so too did the Android OS and its aesthetic. In keeping with Android’s new Material Design UI paradigm, XDA Recognized Developer existz decided to give storm717’s open source app a material design makeover.

Just like the original app, the app is able to track the ‘time in state’ for every clock speed supported by your kernel. This is displayed in a bar graph, elapsed time, and percentage readout. But now, the whole UI meshes well with Lollipop, and the results are as beautiful as you’d expect.

The app is currently only compatible with Android 5.0 Lollipop, but work is being done to bring it to earlier Android versions in the near future. If you’re running Lollipop and want a pretty way of checking your clocks, head over to the CPU Spy Material application thread to get started.
