Description

PerfMon is a "floating" performance monitor tool. It shows on top of any other app you are running. Aside from being useful for powerusers wanting to know what their device is doing, it is a great tool to use during debugging and profiling.

PerfMon offers you four categories of metrics:

- Foreground App
- CPU
- Disk I/O
- Network I/O

PerfMon will also show you a new and unique-to-PerfMon performance metric: "CPU Capacity Usage". The CPU usage percentage traditionally used to measure and compare how much of the computational resources an app (or the entire device) is currently using does not make sense in a mobile multi-core setting. The capacity metric will take the CPU usage and scale it to what it would be if all cores were running at full capacity.

For example: if you have a 1.6ghz quad-core running a light app, it could be using 10% CPU with only one of the four cores active, and that core running at 200mhz. If you translate that to all four cores running at 1.6ghz, that app is using only 0.3% of total CPU capacity.

It's the only CPU Usage metric that makes any sense!

--- Foreground App ---

This window shows metric of the currently foreground (running and visible) application:

- Application title
- Application package name
- Memory usage total (in megabytes)
- Dalvik, Native, and Other memory usage (in megabytes)
- Overall CPU Usage (normal percentage and capacity)
- User and System CPU Usage (normal percentage)

--- CPU ---

This window displays overall CPU metrics:

- Capacity usage and current divider
- Overall CPU usage percentage
- Per-core CPU usage percentage and megahertz

--- Disk I/O ---

This window displays the disk I/O metrics of your MMC-based storage devices. Usually, mmcblk0 is your internal flash, and mmcblk1 is your removable SD-card. Please note that currently MTD-based storage is not supported by this display. Also note that the metrics displayed are raw I/O, so if the OS has I/O requests buffered/cached, you will not see anything happen here.

- Per-device read and write kilobytes/second

--- Network I/O ---

This window displays the network I/O metrics of your network interfaces.

- Per-interface transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) kilobytes/second

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Awesome.
5 ★chainfire's my mom!
5 ★But I would like more setting configurations like transparent
5 ★Great app. Thnx again Chainfire!
5 ★Beautiful what I need
5 ★....best innovation
5 ★Accurate
5 ★Good
5 ★Excellent
5 ★Probably the best floating app to monitor cpu usage. Immediately helped me determine whether I had a background process hogging cpu cycles. Other similar apps took longer for me to identify cpu hogs because they are not as accurate, lacking the useful "cpu capacity" gauge, which I've never seen implemented in any other apps except for Chainfire's. My only problem is that opening the "Foreground App" window crashes the app every time.
3 ★Nice idea but wasteful of screen space (sparkline graphs would be much more useful, e.g. see how Cool Tool does it). Also crashed within minutes of installing.
5 ★Just deleted the free xda version to give some support and buy it, great work as always chainfire, only as well a +1 on transparent overlay and settings, but I'm pretty sure it will come soon anyway, the initial release can't have it all^^
