Does anyone else have serious battery drain problems with lightning launcher?

Every since I installed it on my rooted Nexus 6P I’ve had to basically keep my phone plugged in all the time and even then it will take 2 hours to increase battery level by 10%. The only other new app is installed is zooper widget.

Battery life is fine if I turn off the screen but when using the phone the battery just disappears. Using GSam Battery Monitor it tells me that the Android Kernel is using all the battery so I don’t even have the option of funding and killing an app to sort it out.

I’ve tried everything I can think of (and search for) to eliminate any other cause but no luck.

Writing this post just cost me 5% battery! Anyone experienced battery problems before too? Any suggestions, caused I really don’t want to get rid of llx since it’s excellent?

I’m trying to get a sidebar working which allows me to swipe from the right to make it appear. I’ve created the folder aligned to the right and it opens/closes fine with the folder icon. But when I set the Desktop -> Swpie to Right gesture to open the folder it doesn’t work.

There are no other desktops to the right so there is no where to scroll to. It works if I use ‘Swipe to Right with 2 fingers’ but not just swipe with one finger.

Anyone know how to get this working? The swipe up to reveal the user menu works okay so why wouldn’t this work?
