I am not facing any lag issues on i9500. but still interested in best launcher. i have tried nova, apex, atom, tfs shell and next launcher. currently touchwiz looks better. but all other launchers are updating. so i will wait and see.
I've tried Nova and Go Launcher. Settled on Go Launcher for now. Both work well, and Nova is easier to learn/use, IMO. But Go has more power and options.
I don't notice any lag on either of them, or on the stock TW.

I switched from Go to Nova due to excessive battery drain with Go. MUCH better on Nova.
Nova all the way!!

The only one who has a little of lag is the next launcher.
The better question it´d be: which one waste less battery S:
Sir, try sslauncher. I like the way it works. No lags, fast, battery-friendly and… unusual.

I wasn't very impressed with the Note 3's battery life at first, then I went into Settings>Application Manager and disabled a whole bunch of bloatware. Also went into each app and turned off any background update and location service if we don't need it. You can do this without root. Just take a look on this board and you'll see someone has compiled a list of apps that you can disable.
The phone now runs cooler, and yesterday, we had 14h usage and 6.5 hours display on time (auto brightness). Very impressive in my book.

Turn off all the Samsung features when you're not using them like Smart Stay and Air Gesture. The sensors are always on in certain apps when you have them enabled. Turning them on and off is easily accessible via the notification toggles. But it will only slightly help, your phone should be performing better than that even with those features running. Try a factory reset if it is safe to do with the root method.

Have you guys checked out Greenify? (recommend)

yup. was recommended that app on the s4, great app
Download the app Wakelock Detector from the Play Store.
Open it for the first time right after you unplug your phone
After some deep sleep occurs for awhile, open Wakelock Detector and select the icon in the top right to select "Wakeup Triggers"
This will show you which app waked the device when it was trying to sleep(=screen off) and how many times it waked it. Figuring out Google wakelocks will probably help you the most unless you have some poorly written or rogue app
A good start would be to remove ALL google apps that you don't use, and turn off google ads as well as notifications and scheduled checks within say...Play Store and Youtube and Gmail

I essentially hibernate everything except system apps and widgets, just to be safe. You would also not hibernate apps that you want background notifications from. I also use the donate version, which allows me take advantage of GCM. Which, for apps that use GCM, allows me to hibernate those apps and still receive notifications.
Hope that helps =]
My favorite app is the Snapdragon BatteryGuru. I love it! That will monitor usage and show you which programs are battery hogs and will learn your behaviors with your phone. Only works with the Snapdragon Processor phones as well.

As we all know on paper this phone is a beast but in real life not so much. Now that I had this phone for a week I can definitely say that my Galaxy S3 running AOKP 4.3 ROM was faster than this phone (no joke).
I mean the only thing that really bothers me a lot with this phone (and I don’t know if its touchwiz related) is lock screen lag. Sometimes when I’m locking or unlocking the phone it takes a good second or two to “wake up” or “go to sleep”
Do any of you guys notice the same problem? If so is the any way to fix this now that we have root access?
I’m also looking for any other tips and tricks to make this phone a little faster
Thanks in advance
Nova or Apex Launcher, and ditch the window animations.

Zero animations will help a little but it won't work miracles. You are used to an aosp-style rom, and Touchwiz simply is not that. Once we get Safestrap, devs will get debloated TW roms for this beast. Until then, you just have to deal with TW lag & bloat

Try to freeze/remove the "S Voice" application that maps itself to ---> double tap Home key.
By removing it, it removes the double tap mapping which greatly helped with home button wake lag on my Note 2
Next most common thing to help you is to use an app such as Android Tuner to edit the stock kernel CPU clocks. In deep sleep(=screen off), you can raise the mhz of the CPU so it takes less time to wake up. Not sure if you can do this on stock kernel/locked bootloader just yet and this will eat more battery in general if your phone is in deep sleep often

I use both, but in the end I use Greenify more often. I also think that they don't really work the same.

Hmm I just tried using both and it worked without a problem. Stamina doesn't really hibernate apps I believe, it just cut off the Internet connection till you turn on your screen again. (Of course on a more sophisticated way)
You should be able to use both at the same time without any problems.

I never use Stamina tho, I even had to travel for 15 hours, but never enabled Stamina because the phone could handle that with ease. Anyways I have nothing special @ Stamina settings no apps whitelisted.
And also in Greenify I haven't done anything special, the only thing I did was select which apps should be greenified and that was all (Stamina wasn't in the list of apps that should be Greenified)
I only use Stamina Mode when I'm out travelling. I'm a true greenify fan, however since I rooted and got rid of the bloatware it's almost superfluous since there's not much to hibernate
I use Stamina in conjunction with ds battery saver pro. Not sure if one overrides the other, etc. as they r both supposed to work in a similar fashion? Either way, my battery life is fantasmagorical!
