What it is

G-Helper is a lightweight C# WinForms application that replaces ASUS Armoury Crate for laptop control, offering fan management, GPU switching, display settings, keyboard/mouse customization, AnimeMatrix LED control, and battery optimization. It supports 50+ ASUS laptop models (ROG, TUF, ProArt, Vivobook, etc.) with a significantly smaller memory footprint than the official suite. Monolithic WinForms desktop app: core hardware control split into feature modules (Fan/, Gpu/NVidia, Gpu/AMD, AnimeMatrix/, Display/, Battery/) each with device abstractions; platform-specific USB communication in AnimeMatrix/Communication/Platform/; settings persisted via AppConfig.cs; AnimeMatrix uses Windows…

Start here

Open these first:

  • app/GHelper.csproj — Project configuration and dependencies for the entire C# application.
  • app/HardwareControl.cs — Central orchestrator for all hardware device communications and state management.
  • app/Mode/Modes.cs — Core performance mode definitions and switching logic affecting fan/power profiles.
  • app/AsusACPI.cs — Low-level ACPI interface to Asus embedded controller for device communication.
  • app/Helpers/AsusService.cs — Windows service and system integration wrapper for background control capabilities.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/seerge/g-helper.git
cd g-helper

Then open app/GHelper.sln in Visual Studio and build. No package-manager manifest (package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml) visible—build uses MSBuild/.NET project file (GHelper.csproj) which requires .NET Framewor…

Daily commands:

Open GHelper.sln in Visual Studio → Build Solution → Run GHelper.exe. No dev server; this is a native Windows desktop app. Administrator privileges required for hardware access (fan control, GPU switching, ACPI calls).

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Small team — 2 contributors active in recent commits
  • Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 99% of recent commits
  • GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
  • Administrator elevation required: Many operations (fan curves, GPU switching, ACPI calls) fail silently without UAC elevation. Vendor driver dependencies: GPU control relies on NVIDIA SMI and AMD ADL2 being…
  • Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
