Here is my new, current set up and I think I'll be sticking with this. The only thing I'm not completely happy about is the lock screen clock widget. I like the default LG circle clock widget, but it doesn't look good when the system DPI is reduced (it's too small and there's no way to resize it).
Lock screen:
Background is my girlfriend. Widget is Timely. Lock screen notifications courtesy of NiLs Lockscreen Notifications app.
Home screens, Nova Launcher (left to right):
Widgets (from left screen to right) are Google Now, NiLs again, and DigiCal+. Naturally, when I have no notifications, my center screen will only show the clock and my folders. All folders, when swiped, open the first item in the folder with the except of my music folder that opens the Sound Search widget (courtesy of Popup Widget app). Additionally, most icons in the folders, when swiped, will also open their corresponding widgets.
Nova gestures I use and what my app drawer looks like:
Icons are from Cryten.
