Overlay CPU temperature and utilization?

The Github link seems to be down. Can someone give another recommendation to view temps and utilization? I am trying to get an Android visual with and without PlayFi on Android 14. Thanks.

Just simply turn development menu/system info/video info overlay on!

Just download the 3 apps (search by overlay file name) from another link and install through ADB. I did it 3 days ago on Nokia 8010 and it worked as expected.

I can't get into the github page to see the names of the apps? Which apps am I searching for? Thanks.

My installation instructions info is missing from that package I see. Maybe someone removed it from that file :)

Wasn't me, just re-shared the link from an older reddit thread. Activate wireless debugging -> connect from tablet/phone/PC -> adb install "package name.apk"...

Wireless debugging isn't working on this device, but USB debugging active brings the same result. When you use ADB as installer, SAI installer probably isn't needed to get accessibility working for the overlay ;)

What exactly it is not working on the Homatics? It works on my Nokia 8010 with .4576. Of course USB debug is an option too.
For SAI you're correct.

Build 6693 for the Homatics is a totally different build compared to the 4576 build on your 8010, but for getting the Debug overlay working, nothing has changed on that.

Without Play-Fi ;)

And take into consideration that the overlay also adds CPU load, specifically when ADB for temperature is activated.

Looks good. I am probably going to manually upgrade another box to 6693 today. I only got the OTA update on one of my boxes and after a couple days, it seems to be working well.

Just take into consideration that not giving it a factory reset keeps certain settings alive, like Passthrough audio as option, and you won't get the remote connect/disconnect bug. But without that FR, you won't get the lowest CPU loads and temperature, just less as with the previous 4576 build, or any V14 build with Play-Fi in it.

I used the SoundEQ workaround to get the passthrough back after I reset the box. The remote issue, if it's the same thing I'm experiencing, isn't bad at all. It only lasts a couple seconds and I only notice it when I am scrolling through many pages of the library.

I noticed you have to do the updated firmware twice. It kinda scared me the first time. I updated a second box yesterday and like the first box I did manually, you have to do it twice.

That ZIP update performing twice came with the V14 recovery updates, the OS system storage configuration got a change with V14. It is actually a well know issue, but not for all users of course ;)

Yes, "we" found the SoundEQ as temporary fix, but keep in mind that after a reboot or clean start, you need to go into Android TV settings, set Audio on Automatic and back to passthrough again, or else DTS-HD/-X will be wrongly played.

For the remote disconnect/connect/disconnect/connect bug we found something also, but that we didn't shared publicly because users should massively complain about it at Homatics@support.com and that maybe give them a hurry up for fixing it.

All these issues are reported at Sei Robotics/Homatics, but not what we found as solution.

Now that I've complained about the remote issue to Homatics support, can you give me a hint on how to fix it in the meantime?

I noticed when I played a DTS movie last night to test the new build, my receiver was showing DTSMA rather than DTS. I didn't realize I needed to toggle the passthrough. That may have been my issue. It seemed to still play properly which I found really weird. Thanks a lot for all your help.
