Running LineageOS on Nintendo's amazingly popular handheld/home console is actually nothing new. Put the two together, sprinkle-in a hefty dose of tinkering and you get a janky "fusion" recipe that is just hard to pass by. Less surprising still is the fact that we love Android. It’s only a few kilobytes in size too.It will hardly come as a surprise that us geek folk over at GSMArena love the Nintendo Switch. This allows you to monitor resource usage per app as you use your device. The advantage it gives you is that it provides an overlay above any apps on your screen. Not only that, but you can also monitor your device’s RAM, battery voltage, temperature, current, and network traffic. Profiler is a light-weight Android app that lets you monitor your device’s CPU and GPU usage in real time. It displays a translucent grid window above anything on your screen displaying graphs for representing CPU and GPU usage. The app we’re featuring today is called Profiler and it works on any Android devices running Android 4.0 and above. It’s a permission that can be misused, so you’d have to be careful when you allow an app such permission. That’s because Android will let you give certain apps the permission to run on top of other apps. With Android though, you can monitor CPU and GPU usage in real-time, all the time, right on your screen. Yet, if you do want to know, there are many apps that’ll tell you that on Android and iOS as well. For instance, not many are bothered about the CPU and GPU usage and RAM statistics on their phones. Whether it’s useful or not will always depend on the kind of user you are. Perhaps in terms of the look and feel but Android will always be ahead in terms of functionality. Some say Android is very much like iOS but as long as Android remains open, even as much as it is now it will never be remotely similar.
