I love this widget, but it's a shame that it'll probably stop working when Google raises the minimum SDK version. 😔

The idea is great but the options very minimal, like there is no padding so the widget is set at the very edges of the screen, and that's the worst thing to me. You can resize the content otherwise, but it makes everything look minuscule. The "Life" text can't be resized, it's too big. The widget setting menu looks like it's from 2012 (and it is) with unnecessary precise slide bars. Is it so hard to polish such a simple widget ? I don't get it... oh, I do : No longer supported since 2012...

It works sometimes and only for a few hours and then it freezes in place. It can't track the battery power all the time. I want a refund.

Love it though if I could suggest to add 1 more to the row option so I could have 5 hearts in 2 columns going downward so that way I can have 10 with each heart being 10% of bat

Works wonderfully. My complaints are few. The 1% hack only lasts until I lock the phone. After that, it's disabled again. Being able to edit the widget after the initial placement would be great. Lastly, the lack of Kirby, Megaman, and miscellaneous things like a Mario mushroom with a number like the single 1x1 hearts. All in all, I'm supremely happy with the app, just a few suggestions.

Do you think we can get more size options other than a miniscule 2x1? It looks great, but also insignificant on my screen. Other than that I love this. Maybe a low health sound that plays once or twice when your phone hits a certain (adjustable?) percentage.

About this app

Please read everything below for instructions and important notes* about task killers**.

We at The Food Sucks are of the opinion that notions of battery life do not have to be measured with grim clinical concern. It should be FUN. Even nostalgic! Introducing LifeMeter, a widget that draws inspiration from decades of classic gaming fun and brings it to your Android device to enjoy. It takes the age-old iconic digital heart symbolizing LIFE and applies that feature to your Android device's battery. We also didn't merely draw inspiration from the meters of classic 8-bit games like Legend of Zelda and Metroid, we wanted to demonstrate that LifeMeter is capable of a modern styling too, and what better example than the health bar from a game like Skyrim!***

To make your experience special we made it *highly* configurable, because personalizing is fun and rewarding. Just take a look at the gallery to see not only the variety of meters offered, but how you can customize most of them to your heart's content! The widgets currently comes in 1x1 and 2x1 sizes, and even offers unique meters exclusive to each size to make your experience a little more fun and interesting. Heart widgets can be tweaked; rows/columns can be adjusted, scale them if you feel they might be too big. You can align them within the widget's frame (top, lower right, center, etc). You can configure a LifeMeter widget to launch an app when tapped, or show some detailed battery info instead. You can adjust how often updates happen - from once a minute to as little as once an hour if you want to conserve battery life - though LifeMeter does not use a persistent service; When the phone goes into sleep mode, no updates are issued to your widget, preserving battery health.

*Do not force the install to your SD Card, install it to internal memory only!

**If you use a TASK KILLER (you shouldn't) like ATK, STK, ETK, etc, you MUST configure it to *EXEMPT*, or else it will terminate the process and your widget will appear to be stuck/not updating!

We've tested extensively on multiple devices with great results. Should your device have any trouble with it, we'll do our best to address the issues, just contact us.

We'd like to add even more meters in future updates, and we're open to suggestions - send us an email!
