Could depend on how many widgets you have on your homescreen and also the refresh rate of your apps that auto-refresh.

do you transfer files over bluetooth. i think i fixed my main problem by turning off bluetooth share. i used autostarts so it doesnt even start and my battery seems to last tons longer

Use SpareParts and see what apps are killing your battery

OK the apparently that use the most according to spare parts are:
Alarm clock v2
Adw launcher
Chompsms
The rest don't seem to bad, I will be uninstalling the alarm clock for sure. But what does adw launcher do?!? Better question: is that a dumb question? LOL

Thanks dud. Looks nice
Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for! Great job!
After applying the entire widgets.zip and even the individual search, the search bar widget remains non-transparent. Any clues?
Maybe your not using Launcher2.apk?
where can i get the lower 4-icon tray for my CM 5.0.5.2 build?
Get the modded launcher2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641216

Same here, I am using Launcher 2, but great job Britoso!
This is great work, but I'm still mainly trying to get the genie widget in a transparent via morph or recovery. Searching Nexus threads and coming up empty handed here.
Nice work, Thanks!

Why are you using launcher 2? I think Launcher is better
It skips genie.apk for me. Also, search is still not transparent, but I'd prefer it that way.
On the money!
Have you managed to get the Buzz widget transparent? It doesn't work out for me even tho I've signed it.
the news and weather are not coming up transparent.suggestions?all others are ok.excellent work

same here.
I tried uninstalling, deleting, force reinstalling, signing....
Either get a "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION" or "INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE".
note: The widget apk is named com.google.android.apps.updates.widget.apk
If I wanted to undo the calendar morph, how would I go about doing that? Is there a way to restore the original calendar look? Thanks

The roms keep rolling in.. looks nice dude.
ill definitely be checking this out bro, thanks for doing this I am glad someone finally did it
Ooh nice, I think I might try this. I'm basically happy with the stock rom, I just hate the bloat & this might just tide me over till CM7 gets here. What kind of battery life can I expect with this rom or is that as yet unknown?

Great question.
I dunno though.
I would think it would either be just as good as the stock rom or maybe better since I removed a lot that could have been running without our knowledge. ??
I am plugged in almost all day long so battery life is never an issue.
Please provide some feedback if you do choose this rom.
I would like to know and I'm sure others would like to know as well.
I like it...

He is. He's sent me 25 PM's going crazy that I removed all these apps.
I think he might actually work for HTC.
Let's just ignore him.

Been running this rom for about an hour now & it's just flying. Very fast as soon as it had a chance to settle down a bit. Nice work!

stock apps replacement

Hello folks... I am looking for some apps that will replace the stock apps like maps calculator gallery and all that nonsense and anything else you'd offer as a good selection of apps I also am rooted so that is not a problem.
Handy calc
Exdialer w/ notigo
Quickpic
Alarm clock plus
Milocker
Sent from my HTC Inspire CM7
Handcent is also a good messaging replacement. I like (so far) OI file explorer, too.
I personally love gosmspro and andro file explorer
Here's another vote for Quickpic to replace Gallery, although I'm happy with Gallery. Fancy Widgets is a nice replacement for the stock widget. Still haven't found a good replacement Weather Widget, though.

beautiful widgets, rocks for weather
Beweather has my vote for weather widget and app.
Gosms pro for messaging
make your own clock for clock widget
GoSMS Pro for Messaging.
QuickPro for Gallery - The stock is not that bad but it could be better.
Mobo Player for Videos.
If you don't like Sense, there are a variety of lauchers (Go Launcher, ADW, LauncherPro, and etc.)
ES File Explorer - I prefer this over many others because it have a clean UI and also have quite a bit of functions.
WidgetLocker for lock screen.
Handy Calc, Cube Calc, or RealCalc for Calculator.
Thankyou I use most of these as is and really do love them

ADW Widgets

I am on CM7 which came with ADW and it was fast. But I need good calendar and power toggle widgets( wife, gps, sync, mobile, brightness..all in one), so I switched to GO Launchers. HOwever, GO seems to be really slow, noticeably so. ANyone else seen this? I did freeze ADW and my quadrant score is actually the same, so it must be a Go Launcher thing?
Are there good power and calendar widgets that you can recommend for ADW?
Thanks
Yes its the Go launcher,s problem its slow and freezes all the time..why dont you try ADW launcher EX..
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I use widgetsoid and pure news widget scrollable...im not sure if they are still on the market though.
APW (Android pro widgets) is very good for calendars and different feeds. Elixir is one of the best power toggles I've used. So much stuff you can do with it. And its free!
Android Agenda Widget - Calendar, Lots of features
Power control can be done via status bar but if you wanting a widget...
Power Control.
i would love to find a nice contacts widget and a messages widget for my htc inspire

Apw has the best contact and message widgets, if you get the pro version make sure you install the ics theme for it, it looks superb

What is Rosie Utility?

Hey xda-developers members!
Read green to know what Rosie Utility is
There are a few threads about Rosie but what is "Rosie Utility"?
Can I freeze this app and what is it doing?
I'm running launcher pro and froze sense so sense is no longer in use.
HTC Sensation Z710e
Is it also possible to Freeze/Remove:
[BOOKMARKS] Internet (Replace with Opera)
Music (Replace with Poweramp)
Music Enhancer
Music Widget
Music Visualization
Setup
Setup wizard
Show me
Show me widget
Tell HTC
TimIt
TripWidget
TTS Service
I'm running launcher pro plus.
As long as you have launcher pro plus I'm sure that you can freeze the apps above.
I did it myself and I didn't have any problems.
I also know where Rosie Utility is used for and I blocked it and I turned on [DESKTOP] HTC Sense and I figured out that I couldn't use the lock and weather settings anymore.(lock screen still works only the settings not)
