So when you close out of my applications, they will attempt to launch a full screen Ad.
Woops.
Apperantly this is against the practice that should be taken. Sorry about that.
I will work to patch the applications that do this to launch ads in a more non-intrusive and respectful way.
Sorry for any incovenience this may cause any of you.

Not quite Power Manager 5
Its not done yet, but its getting close.
There has been a lot of re-writing and re-working a huge part of the code.
As a result, APK size has decreased from around 4 MB to just under 3 MB (sitting at about 2.84 MB). Perhaps more important than that however, is the fact that the RAM consumption when running the MainActivity has decreased from 60 MB to 40 MB (for comparison, an empty activity consumed around 25MB on test devices, 18MB without Ads), and the memory consumption over time lowered from reported 108 MB to only 30MB, which is a significant improvement. The application is also generally faster, fixes a lot of issue with the UI including redraws and shadowing, and applies a nice coat of Material paint to the app.
Very little of the application is still a "work in progress", the layout is almost set in stone.
Pictures and images still need to be worked in, as those can take some time to optimize, but the structure and backend of the application is sound.
Context leaks were fixed that are present in the older version 4, and some nice improvements to the interaction with the notification and quick toggles make for an all around fresher user experience.
Power Triggers have been made much more robust in version 5, and a new plethora of power plans can help you manage your device power on a even more fine grained level.
The bad new unfortunately, is that the release of version 5 will drop support for Android versions below Jelly Bean, and unfortunately any Android version above KitKat is unable to allow third party applications to manage mobile data. But I digress.
Stay tuned for more updates, and a release date in the future!

Home Button 3.0.0
Home Button 3.0.0 has been released, which brings with it support for Android 6.0 Marshmallow and drops support for Android version older than Jelly Bean (API 16 minimum). For those that currently have the application, you will unfortunately not be able to upgrade to the new release if you have a phone model running less than Jelly Bean, but don't worry, the overall functionality of the application has not changed.
Home Button is now officially in maintanence mode. This means that no new features will be added to the application. The only updates will be compatability or bugfix related. As far as features go, it is being officially deprecated in favor of QuickSwitch. You can check out QuickSwitch on the Google Play Store here.
The new update brings a refreshed visual theme based on the Material Design principles and a more smooth user experience regarding how the application is laid out.
Additional progress reports are soon to follow regarding Power Manager's 5.0.0 release, but things are coming along very nicely and a large portion of the application will be made simpler and easier to use.
More on that later.
