I have sm-g900v 4.4.4 ni2 rooted with Ricks rom v19. Im using the 3minit battery mod and Nova launcher. Also I'm using the weather live widget. When the screen is off for a while and I turn it on and touch an icon there is about 3 to 4 second lag time before it launches. Sometimes when I hit the back button the screen doesn't respond for more then a few seconds. Does anybody have an idea? Is there a different or better rom for what I have? Thanks in advance

Most likely it's Nova and will be the same on any NI2 ROM. The battery mod has nothing to do with any lag you are experienceing but if you want to try it without the mod see this post. If you want to add it back flash the add on file in post 2. I hope this helps.
Thankyou for replying so fast. Is there another launcher I should use other than Nova or should I just go back to using Touch wiz?

Personaly I like touchwiz but you can keep using Nova if you want. See if removing the mod helps. I did try Nova but didn't like it because it was kind of laggy compared to touchwiz.

You could try the "Apex Launcher" they have a free version...
Turn off all xposed mods, reboot. Turn off aggressive desktop mode in nova, reboot. If any xposed mods, turn on 1 by 1, reboot.

It's just normal with stock launcher. You would have to install any other launcher in wich you can enable homescreen rotation or a custom ROM I guess...

Nova Launcher with stock 4.2.2
not rooted (yet)
sometimes when I leave an app it goes back to the TW default screen
I have to hit the home key twice to go back to NL
is this a bug or anyone else having the same issue?
Have you went into setting of nova and set it for default launcher?
Why not just freeze Touchwiz launcher?
You can not disable touchwiz home without rooting.

I know this may sound really stupid but it is really bugging me now.
I have set nova on transparent bar. When I unlock my phone (using stock lockscreen), the notification bar flashes very fast and goes back to transparent. I'm not sure if I explained myself right.
Does your nova do this? Thankssssss.

No, but you might be using some kind of home proxy, i.e one that launches home from inside an app when you hit the home button.
Open Nova settings and check the default home is actually Nova.

Once you download and launch nova. There will be some widgets on your home screen prompting you to restore your layout from either a previous nova backup or a different launcher. Just create yourself a backup within go launcher (if it has that option) then restore from that backup. It may not restore everything depending on widgets you have currently but you won't have to start from scratch. I use nothing but nova prime.

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
Just curious, what launcher do you prefer? The stock one or another one?
This regarding speed and performance.
Thanks.

To me the stock launcher with stock keyboard ran a little sluggish to me. I went and installed nova prime and stock keyboard slugishness went away.
I'm hoping LG would polish some of bugs on their launcher to improve some performance as I kind of liking stock launcher.
Meanwhile I'm sticking to nova launcher.

Info
NOVA Launcher on all of my phones
Nova Prime here. Wasn't happy with the default launcher.
I have been using Apex for a couple of years now (on mulitple devices, of course) and haven't had any issues. Seems to run smoothly enough with the VS986 variant.
I just tried using nova prime but when I go to use the stock messaging app it says it isn't installed. Any thoughts? VS986
I have a VS986 as well and apparently, when you agree to start using the message+ app, it ignores the stock one and pretends it isn't installed. I'm not 100% positive of that, but that seems to be the case with mine.
I use Nova prime for all of my devices as well as SwiftKey! They are super fast on the G4 and allow the amount of customising I need.
I found the stock one was OK, but Nova has much more configuration options, and is a little faster, so I'm using Nova Prime.
Today I'm using the stock launcher. It's OK for now, but I like Next Launcher. I see many here uses Nova, so I'm going to give it a try.

Go to the app settings and clear that particular app's cache. And also restore/import apps do crash on some apps. So might want to reset the nova launcher settings of everything else fails.

I would try going into the app drawer and see if it works there... it could just be an icon on the desktop that doesn't know where or what the official name of the apk is. Then I would try the other suggestion that someone else posted before me.

Tried clearing cache, restarting nova, restarting phone, restarting messaging... No luck... I just downloaded textra and that works fine.
