[Android General] howpathetic:
Hello,

recently I became obsessed with replacing Batter Hungry applications with their low power alternatives which has almost same functions. Every app I try has one full battery cycle. I do not have the values of how many power the apps consumed, you just have to trust me or ignore it. Some of these apps are very simple (I am a simple user, I need phone with awesome battery life and good funcionality).

I am open to alternatives, so write what you are using and think it will be better and I will give it a try :)

I have Huawei Phone, so I do not need Greenify. EmUI does stopping services by itself.

So here is the list:

Mails : AquaMail(Free/0.99Cents now on sale!) - It does support all email types, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, FastMail, Apple, GMX, AOL and more. It has unified inbox. You can select if you want push notifications on some account or just download messages every X minutes. It is very customizable and more power saving than everything I tried. The interface is kewl too, you can from notification delete /mark as read message etc. Definitely worth a try, now it is on sale ( with free app you can add to the app just one email account). THIS APP SHOULD NOT BE GREENIFIED/KILLED IF YOU WANT PUSH NOTIFICATIONS!

I tried : Gmail, BlueMail

Music: ??? Now my favourite is ported app from sony called Music - It has all kind of features I expect from music player while keeping battery hungriness low.

I tried: Google Music, Huawei Player, PiMusic Player, and a lot of another one (15+) I did not wrote it down.. Now I will.

Browser: Lighting browser (Free/Paid 0.99 cents) - This browser is amazing, compared of others its incredible. It needs less than 5 MB of storage and has nice minimalistic UI. It has everything you expect from a browser, adblock, tabs, speed, clean UI without adds and more.. Definitely worth a try and did I mention the battery? <3

Tried: UC Browser, chrome, Naked Browser, Opera, Firefox, Doplhin Browser, Puffin

Facebook Messenger : Messenger Lite (Free) - This messenger is a masterpiece, I do not need the circle overlay from FB messenger, and I do not need to video call to my friends.. This messenger has everything you expect from it, you can connect with your friends and write them messages, emoji and be calling them. I can see who is online and all your contacts. Well I do not need integration with SMS app because for SMS messaging there is a stock app. This is a huge memory and battery saver!! I liked the overlay from original fb messenger but now I do not want it, I am just used to used my phone efficiently.

Launcher: Now is wining Nova Launcher (Free/Paid) - It is highly customizable launcher, it supports dynamic unread badge, has dark design, you can scale icons and basically do everything with it. It is easy on memory and battery compared to another launchers.

I tried : Arrow launcher, LppLauncher, Flick Launcher, Evie Launcher, Cold Launcher, Apex Launcher, KK launcher, Nougat launcher, DailyDo Launcher and more which I can not remember.

Weather and Widget : Transparent Clock Weather (Free/Paid) - This is a tricky category, I except from weather widget to allow me get to the Clock app ( to setup alarms etc.) by clicking on Time on widget. And this one do, also its battery friendly (depends on fruequency of weather actualizing). It has nice weather and the predictions follows your location.

I tried : Yahoo weather, Yo Weather, Weather Live, Weather, YR Weather, Today weather

Facebook app : Simple for Facebook (Free/Paid) - Well this section depends on how much you using facebook, I am a simple user I just read feed and sometimes post some status or upload pics, if this is what you want then this app is for you. It works as a wrapper on facebook web API. If you courious you need to give it a try. This app is huge memory and battery saver. Also its very small it needs just 5,6MB of your storage :P

This app will help you to get better battery life on your phone :) Mainly if you are runnning out of RAM or Storage the replaces for FB App and FB messaging app will save you.

I will be updating this post as I will be testing more apps. Currently I am looking mainly for Music player and Weather widget :) If you know any awesome APP which is battery friendly just let me know and I will try it :)
