Default Using No Wallpaper With ICS

Within the last 48hrs I have gone with no wallpaper, I'm using Apex launcher, just decided to test it for the heck of it. The lockscreen wallpaper remains, cannot be changed (far as I can see)

Your screen - icons/apps etc remain, just select no wallpaper.

My battery life has improved a minimum of 20-25%

Anyone else want to give it a shot and report?

Makes sense. This was also true with Gingerbread. Mainly because its the display that is the culprit of most battery drainage on this phone. Also, use dark theme for tapatalk and other apps helps as well.

Yeah, I always heard that it makes a difference in batt drain, but its really surprising just how much of a difference.
I was using the stock ICS wallpaper, nothing really light color or too fancy
