Help ADWLauncher EX

Newbie
So I decided to purchase ADWLauncher EX. I have been running it for about two days and have noticed an incredible amount of battery loss. And also it seems like my phone has been running in the upper 60%. Anyone else experiencing any battery issues with ADWLauncher EX? And if not, any suggestions to help the situation?
 
Hmm... I d/l it yesterday and did notice a large drain but I thought it might be just me playing around. Got to keep an eye on this.
 
I just installed it last night and haven't noticed any unusual battery levels compared to normal. Haven't used it too much today but so far battery isn't being impacted from what I can tell.
 
Yeah, I just gave 'er a full charge and it's holding quite well. Must have been me. Others are saying they get better battery, so there!
When you use the hidden dock, how do you get to the app drawer icon without going back to the default dock?

Don't think there is a way (without going back to standard dock) unless you either put an icon in the dock that opens the app drawer or set the "swipe up" gesture to open to app drawer.

on your main screen hold down on an empty space and click Launcher Actions. Then click Open/Close App Drawer. The icon will appear on your desktop,drag it down to the dock. if you press and hold on the icon, you can edit it as well. Before dragging it to the dock of course.

Hope that is what you were talking about
 
I bought this as well lastnight and Love it! I have been using launcher pro untill now... I like all the themes for it!
 
Another think i like about the launcher ex is... I can do away with the dock completely, cleans up my home screen. I can put icons down there if I want. I really like this feature

That is exactly what I was talking about. Awesome, thanks.

I love this launcher too. Hiding the dock bar makes it.
 
i find that it does drain battery i tried using that launcher pro demo and i had set it up and then did an overnight charge and i found it drained my battery and i have the bidallies 1500 mah battery. too bad i would like ADW looks like a sick app.

anyone that used both notice if ADW runs more efficient than launcher pro?
 
Semi OT, but have you guys found ADW EX better than LP+ (my current launcher)?

I loved ADW before EX came out, but it did have some bugs and I couldn't live without the LP+ widget replacements for many of the sense widgets.
