CPU Governor

There is a new Change CPU governor option which can be used only on rooted devices:
The CPU governor toggle displays the current governor setting and a selector dialog appears after you click on it:
As I wrote before you can set CPU governor in profiles too.
Icon packs
A new improved version of CHBS Glasspack is available with name CHBS Glasspack 2.0 from Gál István:
Icon packs can be downloaded if you click on the right arrow icon on the widget editor screen and select the Customize icons options. After that select the Get icon pack from Web on that screen the same way.
File browser
A new files icon is available on the main screen of Elixir 2:
It is a simple file browser with the following features:
- browse directories; even system directories on rooted devices
- displays directory creation date and symlink property if the directory is linked
- displays file modification date and size
- content of files can be viewed, event system files on rooted devices
- files can be opened in view or edit mode with the default application
- files can be filtered by name
- files can be sorted by name, size or modification date
This file browser is used to create a shortcut to open a file:
So after this release you can open files from Elixir 2 widgets too:
Thanks for nice update!
Maybe I am stupid but I can’t find a way to access a menu like the one you displayed above to “select a shortcut” to a file.
Nevermind, I am stupid 😀
Found it, thanks!
Start to add a shortcut to your home screen as usual. Select Elixir 2 and that dialog appears.
“Elixir” UI needs to be improved!
I’m going to, but it takes a lot of time.
Is there any way to download the icon pack directly? By “Get icon pack from web” I got “org.apache.http.com.HttpHostConnectExection: Connection to http://dl/dropbox.com refused”
Thanks a lot!
