nova launcher price ram usage

[zlatko123]

Pretty new to this android phone and loving it. Does anyone know how much ram usage nova launcher uses? Does it affect battery more than running jelly bean? Also downloading customized icon packs also increase ram usage even after you've edited icons?

read that any unused ram is wasted ram...but does it drain batter...last night i did not have nova installed when i woke up today it only drained 6%, i guess we will see tomorrow. I've got samsung s3 1.59 gb ram thanks guys

It doesn't show up at all on my running apps.

you mean under active apps? for some reason after i've installed nove my ram went from low 600 to mid 700...

Yes. When I go to Apps and swap to the Running tab, Nova does not show up.

Nova uses very little memory. Widgets can take more of a toll. Icon packs are pretty minor.
