- UPDATE regarding Active Processes monitor on Android Nougat and up
I have released a beta version of the app with Active Processes monitor working on devices with ROOT access. You'd need to become a beta tester in order to install it. It may be a bit buggy. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
-- END UPDATE - - NOTE-
Some features of Simple System Monitor does not work properly with android version 6.0 and up because of the underlying system changes.
Also, as of Android Nougat, Active Processes tab will show only one app, Simple System Monitor itself. This is because Nougat has restricted access to /proc directory where information about running processes are retrieved from. Please bug Google about this issue instead of me
-- END NOTE- Simple System Monitor, as the name suggests, is a clean and simple system monitoring app for your android device. It graphically shows usages of various system components. Features:
CPU usage and frequencies for each core
Total CPU usage and average frequency
CPU frequency graph for each core
Time spent on each CPU frequency state
GPU usage and frequency
RAM usage and ability to clear RAM
Network activity
Disk I/O activity (internal and SD card)
Test disks' read/write speeds (internal or external)
File browser with support for basic operations (copy,cut,delete)
Cache cleaner (optionally requires ROOT)
View list of active apps and processes and their CPU usage, RAM usage, network activity, PID and UID.
ill processes as ROOT (only works on rooted devices)
View temperatures of all of the thermal zones
View battery health and temperature
Ability to keep running in the background despite being swiped away from the recent tasks list
Floating mode shows system monitor data on a little floating window on top of other apps
Dark UI theme If you see "" for one or more CPU frequencies under the CPU monitor graph, restarting the phone should solve the issue. Only Adreno GPUs are supported at the moment. Sometimes the GPU stat information may not be available/accessible in the kernel even if the device has Adreno GPU. In such case, "" will be displayed instead of a frequency. If you don't see the GPU monitor, then your device's GPU is not supported. Using ROOT to kill processes is not recommended and should be used very cautiously. I do not hold any responsibility if something bad happens to your system or device because of it. If you find a bug, please send me an email at dparajuliapps-gmail.com. Any feedback is much appreciated. App permissions used/explanation:
android.permission.ILL_BACGROUND_PROCESSES:
needed for clearing the RAM
android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and android.permission.WAE_LOC:

This app monitors every aspect of your android device's system. Graphs of the cpu usage and frequency of all cores as well as the use of gpu and ram can be viewed. In a different tab you can find each of the parameters you can monitor. To switch between tabs you simply have to slide from left to right. The drop-down menu can be opened from the upper left of the screen to directly access any one of them. Other tools included in simple system monitor are available only to users with a rooted device. These added features include a process 'eliminator' and a cache cleaner. It's important to note that your device does not need to be rooted in order to use almost all of the features. It is a powerful monitoring tool that can help you to keep your system in check. From the core frequency to the battery temperature, and even network activity: you've got it all under control with this app.
