Equinox Kernel Manager

Overview

A powerful Android application designed for advanced users and developers to manage and optimize Android device kernel parameters and performance settings.

Key Features

• Kernel Parameter Control: View and modify kernel parameters in real-time

• Performance Monitoring: Track CPU, GPU, and system performance metrics

• Root Application Management: Install and manage root applications

• Performance Graphs: Visual representation of system metrics over time

• CPU Governor Profiles:

  • Create custom CPU scheduler profiles
  • Save and load performance presets
  • Quick switching between profiles

• Advanced Controls:

  • CPU frequency management
  • Governor tuning
  • I/O scheduler selection
  • Thermal management

Technical Implementation

Built with Java for Android, the application uses native C code to interface with the Linux kernel. It requires root access to read and write kernel parameters through sysfs interfaces. The app features a custom graphing library for real-time performance visualization and a profile management system for saving user configurations.

Target Audience

Designed for:

• Android enthusiasts
• Custom ROM users
• Developers optimizing device performance
• Users seeking better battery life or performance

Impact

This project demonstrates deep understanding of:

• Android system architecture
• Linux kernel interfaces
• Native code integration
