Home ++ (another home replacement)

[mikecolorama]

im 11 hours since unplug at 90% battery and home++ doesnt even show up on my battery usage...beautiful widgets shows up at 3% and sportstap is 2%...i think the problems you're having are your faults and not home++

how could it be my faults when the battery usage says "Home++ - 85%"

My battery definitely drained fast today, though I can't say for sure it's Home++.

After 4 hours, I was down to 60% without any more usage than usual.

I had to uninstall it today Already missing the hidden top bar, haha.

Reason: I installed the 2.1 rom and ++ wont let the live wallpaper work, I love it so out it went :x

Unless someone here knows how I can get it to work with the live wallpapers so I can go back to a hidden bar

I'd kill for the live wallpaper but I'd end up bricking my phone...

There's a new easy and simple guide to updating the leaked 2.1 which is amazing in my opinion. It includes backing up your phone to go back anytime as well.

Ok what's the easy way and how do you back up your phone completely.

Same problem happened, so I'm uninstalling it again and seeing how it runs overnight without it. I love the look of the app but not at the expense of my almost full battery being drained.

 

[backlash]

has anyone had any problems with the update last night? i lost 60% of my battery in about 3 hours with now use at all. i checked the battery usage and it said that Home++ was using 85%. the next closest thing was in the single digits. PLEASE HELP!!!!

edit: i added the 'youtube' widget and the 'pandora' widget before that but never used them.

I had at least 50% battery when I got home last night. I did the update, then put my phone in airplane mode, like I usually do at night time. I checked my battery status again (it's a habit for me). I wake up this morning boom DEAD FREAKING BATTERY.

I've had Home++ installed for a while now, but I think this is going to make me uninstall it, which sucks because now I'm going to have to reconfigure everything, again.

You don't have to uninstall it, just use home switcher and set the default android home as your default, then restart your phone. Home++ will not be running, so if it is the cause it won't drain your battery. However I'm still not experiencing any battery drain, yesterday from 10am to 1am, my battery was reading around 40% which is normal for my use, and Home++ had only used 2% of the battery usage. I have the latest version installed.

 

[backlash]

Oh sweet, I already have home switcher installed.

And by restart, you mean just power it off for a few seconds then turn it on?

Or Power off, pull battery, then turn on?

Or do the restart using a combo of keys on the keyboard...........need to find that.

You can just power it off and power it on, that's a clean restart on an Android phone, you don't have to pull the battery.

To restart using physical keyboad, press the "Shift" "Alt" & "Del" keys all at the same time. You have to use the "Shift" and "Alt" on the left side to work though.

Heh, I just searched and found the correct keys to hit. :icon_ banana:
Thanks!

Personally the only thing I liked about 2.1 was the updated media gallery. Everything else was the same, just with some fancier animations, and 5 homescreens instead of 3. The biggest problem for me was bettercut was not compatible, and I couldn't setup my custom icons, so I restored my 2.0.1 image and am happy again. When bettercut is compatible, then I'll redownload, but I'll still use Home++ as my homescreen, I like the powerstrip and endless looping too much to stick with the stock launcher on 2.1

 

[mikecolorama]

i uninstalled home++ and installed Launcher +. i hate that i had to do that, but with 85% battery use by Home++, i had to.
