G3 on Lollipop: Nova or Stock?

[RLewy]

I've found that the G3 just runs a lot smoother on the stock system as opposed to on Nova Prime. This wasn't the case on kitt Matt but Nova doesn't seem to like lollipop

Nova is running nice and smooth for me. I just like the personalization of it.

Im running stock it does the job perfectly for me, plus i rely too much on the double tap on the home screen to turn off feature.

Was running stock for awhile then switched to nova, it seems to run much smoother! Yes you lose double tap anywhere to lock, but you could still do it if you double tap the status bar

How about double tap to wake, does that work with Nova.
I couldn't get it to, so I went back to stock, does a perfectly good job for me also.

Thanks,
Fred

If you guys have bought Nova Prime, on the gestures - double tap, you can download an app called Screen Off. That solved my problem when I moved to Nova.

Double tap to wake still works

Nova is definitely smoother for me. I don't really care about losing double tap to lock, I never used it anyway.

You dont lose it. Make your double tap gesture open "screen off and lock" app. Works seemlessly.

I've nova premium and used it in all my phones including the lg g2. Now that I've an lg g3 I've been using stock Launcher. It's better than how it was in the g2. Might use nova later on when I get bored, but so far I love stock.

I've usred stock only on G2 and G3, and yesterday I've switched to Nova premium together with free SwitchOff app, in order to keep double tap to screen-off functionality.
Nova works very nice with G3, and it is noticeably better than stock launcher.

Tried Nova on my G3 and then removed it for the following reason.
Had to load several extra apps to get same performance.

1. Screen off as already mentioned,
2. A calendar widget, since nova won't show very good LG calendar widget
3. A weather widget since nova won't show very good LG weather widget

Didn't really see much improvement in performance and including Nova these apps use up a lot of space on the SD Card

Double tap the status bar on Nova and it switches off
