Elixir 2, as feature-rich as you can imagine, is a system information app with a wide variety of highly configurable widgets. It gives you a quick access to every setting, details and function your device has, in order to provide Android users with a set of fully configurable and customizable widgets.

Like other system information control apps, Elixir 2 can tell you a great deal about your Android device. Nevertheless, I've never encountered an app like this one, beneath the normal exterior is a powerful tool. With this app, you can take control of your phone like never before.

As a professional system information manage app, you can easily gain various information, including the running statues, data, storage and many other kinds of information in detail. So you can not only know of your device, but also control your device to keep it in the best statue!

With this app, you can easily change settings, do actions, turn things on/off and other actions to your android device. What's more, you can display installed applications, displays running and recent processes / services / tasks, handle profiles and many other management. Why not download and try it now?

  • Great & gets better Jan 10, 2013

    I love the app for its ability to put more icons on the screen reducing my swipe time. The additional tools the developer has packed in (task killer, battery monitor, etc.) makes the thing even better. When there are minor irritants, they get fixed quickly, too.

  • Screen timeout toggle fails to work on 4.2 Nov 23, 2012

    This app is extremely useful and I appreciate the devs work. It has worked consistently for long time. Since 4.2 update on my Nexus, the screen timeout toggle does not work if set to "never" which is value 0. Please fix it!

    So many features that I'm just finding out about now. One of my favorites is being able to monitor your data speeds live through any application. May use alot of battery(not sure yet) but still is quite convenient to have if your not on an unlimited high speed data plan.
