Help using a home replacement should i...

[mykeldrip]

(before question shout out to how great home ++ is) ok so i've tried ish some home replacements before(and by tried i mean installed didnt like look or quite get it and uninstall(when i first got phone)). i started to youtube home++ became very intrested and installed it and love it so far! great alternative i think everyone should try it out! ok now to question this is my first time posting so hello all! now that i have home++ installed i notice that my original "home screen" is always running in the background,so is there a way to "deactivate"(for lack of better terminology). doesnt it take up cpu/gpu resources and then new home screen does also in turn draining battery or slowing phone down? if no way to deactivate should i goto original and turn off stuff like live wallpapers and also remove any widgets that update regularly so i dont have it running twice? sorry if this is a dumb question just kind of new to home screen replacements! Ty for the help!

Can you please use the Enter button next time?
This is almost impossible to read, it looks like this:

Thx

On topic: the launcher will always be running, nothing to do about it. Even if you kill it with a task killer it'll auto reboot

I had the same question a while back... No way to really "deactivate" the old home screen.. So what I did was took off all widgets, icons, etc. Left the old homescreen completely blank. I noticed this helped battery life and smoothness of the home++.

I wish someone would make a custom rom with ONLY home++ as the homescreen.

I have Home++ installed and after reading this want to go back in to the original homescreen and delete all the widgets from it. How can I do this?

Edit: done it now.
Hopefully that will save me some battery life.

Do "live wallpapers" work for anyone? For the life of me, I cannot get one to work on Home ++
