Buzz Launcher

[GingerRob]

Been using the above launcher for a few days now.
It appears very flexible and you can upload your own attempts for others to use.

I have found my battery life has plummeted though.

Has anybody else used this launcher and if so, did you find the same?

I'll give it a go at work tonight if you want.

How bad a hit are we talking?

I am normally down to 40 - 50% by 10 at night.
With this launcher on i am down to 50% by lunchtime.

If you wouldn't mind having a look as i quite like the i have it setup.
I have removed all widgets from the Sense screens.

 

[El Presidente]

Wow, that is quite bad!

No problem, I'll install it when we get quiet at work.

Quick update.
Took it off charge at 100% at 5:15.
Turned bluetooth on at 6 to get home.
Turned bluetooth off and wi fi on at 6:30.
Now 7:30 and battery is at 89%.
Phone has not been used.

Think i may have jumped the gun on this one.
Looks as if it was the photobucket app uploading pics.
I have no idea which pics it was uploading, but there was a list of approx 30 items.

I have stopped them uploading and will see how the battery last the rest of the evening.

Let me know.

I forgot to turn off Dropbox sync for existing photos after fashing a new ROM a while back and had a similar experience. Easy done.

Update.
Lunch time and battery currently at 73%
OS has used 23% and Falcon pro 18%. Everything else is under 10%.

Gives me a bit more confidence in the launcher.

Apologies if i have wasted anybodies time.

As long as you're sorted, it's good.

I personally enjoy messing about with different launchers etc anyway.
