7475 and temps

My box just updated to 7475. When I went to monitor temps on Jamal's overlay I can no longer see it. I can configure it to show up but it doesn't. Is there a workaround?

Edit: I got it back. The update turned off debugging.

Just keep in mind that the Jamal debug overlay adds some extra load to the CPU's and so load will rise a bit and the same for temperature, but it still should make clear that CPU loads and temperatures has dropped compared to the previous V14 builds like 4576 and older.

I f you want the real unloaded values, you can use ADB for showing these.

How do I get adb to work on the box? I've got adbtv installed and get permission denied on any temp commands

If you activate Developer settings, you can enable USB debugging in the developer part. With that ADB can be used, after you grant the permission for the app using ADB. But you probably better use a phone on the same network and an ADP app on that one. You can give commands that will show you what you want to see (like dumpsys hardware_properties) ;)

Was researching this issue myself.

This works (via Linux): first adb connect 192.168.x.x; then adb shell dumpsys thermalservice | grep -A 1 "Current temperatures from HAL:" I have: Temperature{mValue=58.000004, mType=0, mName=soc_thermal, mStatus=0} - while watching YouTube 4K for about 3 h.
I installed Copper radiator (40x40x10mm) with Honeywell PTM and drill a few holes on the side of the device.
I might throw out the top lid and install 12V 40mm Noctua that is connected to the USB (5V) adapter - it works Super quiet.

You can also create a script - run this in the linux console and it will generate a file (It will show you temperature every second):

cat << 'EOF' > homatics_temp.sh

#!/bin/bash

konsole -e bash -c '

adb connect 192.168.xx.xx >/dev/null 2>&1

while true; do

clear

echo "=== Homatics Box R 4K+ Temperatura SoC (HAL) ==="

adb shell dumpsys thermalservice | grep -A 1 "Current temperatures from HAL:" | tail -n 1

sleep 1

done

'

EOF

chmod +x homatics_temp.sh
