Add energy scalar workaround #46

Open EnerGeh opened 1 month ago

First of all, I would like to thank you for that unbelievable helpful peace of software. I use your app on all my android devices and it gives me a huge insight of the energy consumption of my devices and apps. If I could wish another feature of the app, it would be an energy scalar workaround like the power scalar workaround. I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 5e (because it's one of the very rare tablet devices that officially supported by Lineage) and need the power scalar set to 1000 to get the correct value, but the energy value is not shown correctly, I would need a scalar of 10 to show the correct value. Do you think it's possible to implement that?

Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad you find the app useful!

It's pretty annoying that Samsung can't even be consistent between their own devices...

Adding another scalar is certainly possible, but I do have to balance that against bloating the settings page and how useful the setting would be to most people. I've been thinking about splitting workarounds and settings, so this might make sense as part of that. Something like walking the user through the workarounds on the first run, since they are already easy to miss.

Thank you very much for your understanding and it is impressive how many different aspects you've got to respect. Maybe you can think about it and decide if and how to implement it.
