No Problem, I have to use what is available.

I also could do the trick on my side by booting some custom ROM.
For today its not hurting enough.

I, too, have an old tablet that I'd like to use. I don't know if there were earlier versions of the plugins but it might be worth a search.

In any case, maybe you can produce a back-rev version that doesn't have all the features.

Ok, my Nexus 7 is now booting to Android 7.1.2
Performance on latest Lollipop Stock was terrible.

I fired up all my Hardware around to see how it would look on a 7" display.

The grid is now 2 x ∞ what is fine on a phone.
An option for selecting the grid to be 3 x ∞ or even 4 x ∞ for larger devices would be very nice.

I also want to ask for a color slider or a 'dark mode'.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick, if you turn on dark mode in the device settings, my app should go dark. I believe that may be an Android 10+ feature, however. I will implement a dark mode selection when I can find time to do it, sorry about that.

Hi Patrick, I believe I've found a small bug with my app which I think you could help me out with.
In your image, I see you have, in your Xeon client, 2 slots, with slot 01 first and then slot 00. Do you think you could try pause (through my app) one of these slots, and then see which slot actually pauses? I believe it will pause the other slot.

Thanks very much in advance :)

I can verify that this has happened to me. Sometimes I'm forced to remove, then re-add a GPU, which ends up putting things out of order. Also, the problem of not having a slot-zero device is still there. I recently removed my CPU slot - points were horrible - and now I can't use the app to send any commands.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I've taken note of these issues and will address them very soon.

Hi all - I've just uploaded an update to the app, purely cosmetics. I've added a settings screen, which is accessible via the sidebar, where you can change away from the default orange theme to one of Orange, Blue, Red, Purple or Black, as well as a dark mode switch, to accommodate users with older devices. Please let me know if this all works as intended, and what you think. I also added which FahCore is running to all slots in the extended view, as requested by @Hopfgeist.

This update should be live in the next few hours and available for download via Google Play. Next update will address the issues we've found.

Thanks all!

Edit: update is live.

F... yeah!
Dark mode, black theme.
And it simply works.

Thanks you very much!

This forum was transferred to a new server and new version of the software about a year ago. In the process links posted in older topics were broken. Sometimes by quoting in a reply box you can have enough to put the link back together, but not always. I do not know if this app for Android is still up on Google Play.
