AWD launcher battery drain? - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Is anybody else having high battery drain issues with AWD? I love the speed but i may have to uninstall. Any ideas as to what might be the issue?

Yep. It's keeping the phone awake no matter what, hence the drain. Hopefully newer versions fix this, as it's a great launcher, but I had to uninstall after watching the battery drain about 10%/hr when not in use.

Hmmm...strange, indeed. I have less battery drain than ever. I couldn't be happier. I'm running Beautiful Live Weather wallpaper AND GPS is on. I was also texting (wife) and reading emails. I posted these on another thread, but here is what my battery life looks like...

Same here - checked and there's no battery drain while running ADW. No drain when I was running LauncherPro either.
Have you updated to ADW 0.7.5? Several bugfixes and it's running fast again, maybe it was the buggy 0.7.2-0.7.4 releases that were giving you fits.

I would like to see ADW launcher will support all HTC stock widgets in the future.
Who is actually developed ADW?

Wow ... along those lines, I would like to see my bank account with a few more commas.
The reason ADW doesn't support all HTC stock widgets is because of those damn copyright infringement laws. HTC won't allow their widgets to be used with anything other than their Launcher ... just like Launcherpro widgets can't be used with anything other than Launcherpro, its a package.
And who developed ADW? Has your mommy blocked you from Google or something? Because I have a distinct feeling that kind of information is self-obtainable.

It has been updated with new settings and it's working great thus far.
Nice, will check that, thanx!
comments on performance?
My Milestone @ 1ghz seems to die with this thing running. Feels like someone slowed my phone down to 125mhz.
I have this wallpaper, and it is working great for me. I've had it on all for about 10 hrs now, and my battery is still basically full.
Just thought I would comment on my results. If I turn off the CPU hog setting the animations are way smooth! and I see no change on my battery.
running on a nexus with 2.2
It's really nice.
Battery is absolutely cool. NBo greater consumption here and my nexus has no problem with the speed.

It's real Eye Candy. I've tried many builds already, and this is surely one of the most, if not THE better looking rom I've tried. It's also very stable, at least for me. I have absolutely NO force closes, shutdowns or random reboots at all. The cons are the battery consumption seems high, at least to me, and under Wi-Fi, when the apps are updating and the widgets refreshing, especially the if your contact list has hundreds of facebook contacts like mine does, then it can become real laggy while the updates are going on. On the other hand, without the updating process going on is incredibly smooth and doesn't lag at all, not even a little bit. So far I'm very satisfied overall.

Launcher Pro on Droid Charge

I have a Thunderbolt and I am considering switching to a Charge however I hate Touchwiz with a damn passion. I mean, it's the most god aweful thing I've ever seen. To that end I went to the Verizon store to play with a Charge and I installed Launcher Pro to test it out. I uninstalled it before I left but I thought someone on the fence may care to see it.
See video and pictures below.

Yeah Launcher Pro works really well. I go for a very simple, clean setup with only 1 homescreen, and put my most used apps on the 3 docks, and each dock icon also has a swipe shortcut, so that's 30 quick access apps without the visual clutter.

Where'd you get those toggles from?
I was thinking of getting the Charge. It looks pretty sick. Thanks for the LauncherPro video!

You're welcome. I am probably about to go pay full price for it actually.
VZW wouldn't do anything for me since I've had the TBolt since launch day. First month I had it I was working till 9 nightly... like I would notice battery life or have time to fix it. Whatever.

Sorry.
Ok. Juice Widget is now avalible.
You could have set them up as them instead of publishing them individually.

I gave 5 stars. Make a widget with different layouts.
Soon I will add battery percentage in the notification.
fantastic!
Nice work man, keep it up! :good:
The problem I have with battery widgets in general is they do not show the battery percentage while charging. How does your widget work while charging?
i rated it 5star just becoz u asked ..but i still dint try it. but don't u think these kinda battery widgets drain more battery coz they continually run in the background ?
plz provide a review regarding the battery consumption of this app...
thanx
I'd like to propose circle battery widget by Cedric Depoortere, available on playstore. Great readability, highly customisable, minimalist, professional & high quality display!
Also low useage of system resources, so doesn't end up being a battery hog.
Thank you for this!

Why would a battery widget have to know where I am??
When I look at the rights required by the Glow Battery Widget I'm not too pleased with what the widget requires in terms of rights.
Change wifi status?? Please explain...
It's a good looking widget btw!
Looks decent but doesn't resize, hopefully this is something your looking at.
Cheers.
thx nice widgets

This was exactly my concern. Changing WiFi state - sure whatever. Why does it need to know my GPS location?

Download Smart Screen (beta) 4M
*************Description**************
A single-screen launcher, the layout of screen changes automatically with time such as in morning, work, evening, sleep, weekend, etc. Screen adapts himself to your life, not the other way around.
************Background*************
Smart phone get smarter and smarter while the home screen stay ‘foolish’ as they were designed with no regards to where you are or what you gonna do. SS wants to make the home screen more sensible to users' everyday life.
**********Main features*********
***Screen changes with different situation in daily life.
Fresh morning, work day, evening, sleep, party, weekend... presenting with different time-fitting apps, widgets, wallpapers and system profiles.
Sleep screen activate some power-saving and no-disturbing system settings like Wifi OFF and screen brightness down.
***Favorite app quick access [HOT]
available to create shortcut of most frequently used apps without disrupting the minimalist style. I need this feature because most of installed apps are opened less than once a week, obviously the app drawer is not sweet enough.***
*** Earphone-plug-in screen
quickly access to media apps when earphone plugged in.
*** Editable icons and widgets.[NEW]
************Requirement*************
Support Android 4.0+, may not work well on tablet.
