Ultra Power Saving Mode Launcher.

This is NOT the real Samsung Galaxy S5 Ultra Power Saving Mode Launcher ( EmergencyLauncher)

Brief introduction

This launcher is made to mimick the Galaxy S5 EmergencyLauncher.

Ofcourse its a very early version on my side so its design isnt really 100% same as on S5 and not all features have been implemented yet.

Ram usage of this launcher was according to testers very low compared with other launchers. (very simple launcher)

The main features are:

Simple UI

Simple Clock

Simple Battery Percentage

Simple App Picker

and some extra features:

Themes.

Fullscreen or normal screen.

1,2 or 3 Grid.

[PowerSaving Options.

Minor fixes needed

Fixes:

1. Grayscale icons.

2. Option to add apps (as it is showing all apps)

3. Time in bottom has to be replaced by Remaining Usage time.

Hope you will fix them in next release :) :cowboy:

BEST OF LUCK :good: :good:
[Android Apps and Games] SpaceCaker:
1. i have been looking for some exapmles and such to use a intent identifier to replace its icon but i dont have clue yet on how to.

2. option to add apps i removed this and use load all apps instead ( easier)

3. Time in bottom i added because the time of usage i coulsnt figure out yet :p

and as said its all w.i.p but already stable enough for daily usage ;)

[Android Apps and Games] crni6:
Great work, I just strat to use this app and its great concept but you need more to do. :)

I will try to give you a couple of advices that (i think will be great)...

1. try to made to be able to select six applications that are most needed(phone,messages+ 4 that user can choose) and put some B&W icon pack with essential apps(to not use much memory)for devices with amoled screen.

2. Put some options for turn off sync. and gps like you do with wifi and BT,vibration,key vibration...quick access to choose between wcdma and gsm(for those who often lose network).

3. Maybe some advanced task killer for advanced user to kill some apps that will not use in power saving mode.

4. Quick brightnes adjusment that user can adjust if go out door for better visibility...some user will appreciate it.

And maybe you can mix HTC Extreme power mode UI with Samsungs for better result couse HTC did great job with clock. :)

Again great job...keep up the good work.

[Android Apps and Games] wingchun108tek:
Can you make it so that we can specify at what percentage of battery, this app will launch? Also there has to be a better way to scroll through your apps, apps issue added an option where you can slide up-and-down with the apps enough vocal order, and have something show what letter you are currently on so that we can easily find particular app.

Really like this simple Launcher, I'm using Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900).

Found a problem, when you already setting up the Launcher settings (I set up the Grid to 2, and Theme to Full Screen).

Restart the Launcher (Back to my Main Launcher -> Clear Memory -> Reopen the UPSM), the UPSM launcher back to normal (1 Grid, Normal theme), like when it was installed for the first time.

I went back to launcher settings but the settings still remain (2 Grid, Full Screen Theme), so i have to change Grid back to 1, and then get it back to 2, then the UPSM went back like it was supposed to be.

Also in Note 3 screen, the application box list doesn't reach until above the battery / clock boxes. So it looks a bit weird.

Everything else is great, keep up the good work.

Here are some screenshot:

Sorry for my English :) I'd like to translate it to Indonesia if you want though.
[Android Apps and Games] SpaceCaker:
i know about that one. somehow it doesnt read the preferences when app is resetted or relaunched. but when u change them or grid it will update the preferences :/ i have not much idea on how to fix yet.

Also found another bug, i'm using Tasker with Auto Launch the UPSM - IF - the battery reach 20%, when i woke up this morning and my battery reach 15%, the battery percentage is not updated (already try to turn off my phone and turn back it on, still not working). So i think the battery doesn't update if you launch the app while the device display is off.

Thanks before for the great launcher! It triples my battery life when its really low.

Could you also look at the Battery Stats not updating? Went On-Screen from 55%, then when my phone just went 15% (Low Battery Warning), the Launcher still says 55%. I have to re-apply theme just to refresh the Battery Stats. Also true with newly-installed apps not showing up until re-applied theme.
