CPU Info

Have you ever wondered what's inside your phone? Ever wondered which apps are hogging memory?

Kritikal Appz has the app for you!

Check your CPU information using /proc/cpuinfo, a file that details what kind of CPU your phone has.

Check what processes are running in the background with top. Choose the max number of processes to display, the number of seconds to wait in between updates, the column to sort by (CPU, VSS, RSS, THR), and whether to show threads in addition to processes (this can be quite processor intensive, not recommended on older devices!).

Now with the latest 1.1 update, CPU Info can run ps! Check an individual process by package name or process ID to query its behavior.
