I have heard that live wallpapers have the same effect as constantly watching video, but that's just what someone said so it could be wrong.

Theoretically it should drain. To be honest I never really noticed. Every few days I change between fresh leaves and any static image. Makes no real difference. Fresh leaves doesn't lag either, is very fluid, has really good detailed images and looks awesome. But some other lwallpapers do so I'm just guessing they're poorly optimized.

I noticed a bit of Lagg for example in notification bar and also in touchwiz launcher so back to normal wallpaper

I use live wallpapers all the time. I do notice a slight difference in the battery life, but it does'nt effect the performance of my phone. Love the s3. Great stuff.

I tried 3d live wallpaper and some space one. They look awesome but I found some drain. I didn't try for extended periods though.

it doesnt fit my screen. it stops way before the right side
I used it for a while. I liked it but there isnt nearly as much customization as widget locker and its alil buggy. I also use a security pattern and it wont work with a security pattern or pin
Its not even fully functional -- when i press to disable volume buttons to prevent wake it doesnt work it still wake ...

Does it fit your screen? I what am I doing wrong. My slider is squished to the left.

This is by far the coolest lock screen. Unfortunately if its not fully functional then its useless. I hope Innoweb gets it 100%. Im all for buying apps but I hate it when devs charge $ for something that's not really finished and/or compatible.

[Q] Launcher Pro.. Go Launcher

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure but when a launcher has 3D affects an stuff like that it uses more power its like playing a game it draws more power to do process

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Aftermarket launchers do use more power. The more widgets you have use more power as well.

Lag with live wall papers?

Anyone experiencing lag when using a live wallpaper? I tried using LPP and it was silky smooth until I set a live wallpaper. I had the same issue on my EVO 3d....

I too run LPP so i put Blue Skies live wallpaper on and haven't had any lag issues. Ill keep it on for a couple days and report back. Maybe it's different because it wasn't pre-installed.

[Q] How's Nova/Apex launcher running on the DNA?

Anyone installed Nova launcher yet? Coming from a GNex I think that would be my first order of business. Any performance issues, resolution problems, etc?

ive been running nova for over a week now, and it runs like a champ
I tried to deal with sense for about 4 hours yesterday... App spacing is atrocious and that dock is fugly and you can't change it to anything remotely attractive... Installed nova and doubt I will look back until maybe a desense Rom is developed

I got mine today and set everything up before loading nova back on. Nice and smooth as always.
Best thing is, the locksreen shortcuts are what is on the sense dock. You can set those to anything, then go to nova.
Anyone able to get wallpapers to scroll??
I'm trying Nova, but many of the Sense widgets are missing. I wish there was an app that would allow 4x5 layout on the stock setup. Does anyone know of anything like this? 4x4 just looks silly on such a large display.

Doesn't Apex do that? Set the grid to 5 x 4 in the home screen settings

He wants to use the sense widgets, but can't with a different launcher.

Weather widget

Anyone mind sharing your weather widgets or know a nice wv post here cause the 1 that comes with TW is a embarasing takes up to much ram and rewrites and lags up the launcher. Deactivate it and its parts and your phone is going much snappier.

I use one called "Eye in the sky" which works great for me.
Using BeWeather..it has some great widgets with or without clocks and forecasts. Also nice animations in the app itself:
