Is nova better or touchwiz(7.0)

[raman123]

Hi All,

I already have read many articles regarding the same thts why bought "nova prime" but got issues with games like started lagging and then i uninstalled nova but as i love customization i installed it again after sometime by thinking it could be by any other xyz but again i got issues with the games and had to uninstall nova launcher again
So, My question is that is nova ram hungry compare to touchwiz .. I hv spent money on it thats why wants to use it + love customization .. so please help what should i do .. I cant compromise with performance thats the priority

Nova uses less ram than TouchWiz by far.

I've been using Nova Prime for years and never did it cause any slowdown on my devices. Try restarting the phone after installing Nova.

If anything TouchWiz would be your memory hog

Games start being slow ex - in baseball game i get the sound first but see the players later on

If you use another launcher, TouchWiz still runs in background. So it's actually both the apps eating your phones performance. If you use TouchWiz only, then there's only one app. It's not Nova's fault that TouchWiz still runs in background. And it's not TouchWiz's fault that you are using Nova...

And this is on all your games? Does it just the sounds or is there an actual drop on framerate? I'm very confident that Nova isn't the main culprit here. Its been known for years that TouchWiz is a huge memory hog even its current version albeit not as bad as before but still a hogger. It could also just be the game you're playing that have problems but that's a stretch if all of your games are having problems.

I run stock on my device with Nova Prime and I'm playing heavy games there with no problem and I have 43 games installed on it.

I can vouch for that, every game I've ever installed played fine with Nova installed.
My phone came preinstalled with TouchWiz, so I disabled it from the get go. No issues...

@raman123 Sure!

Swipe down on the status bar and tap on the Settings (gear) icon on the right.
Tap on the Device header and choose Apps
Scroll down to TouchWiz, tap on it and choose disable.

That should do it.

thanks friend but would it cause any harm to the device as touchwiz being the main launcher of the phone ?? please be sure

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Nope. None at all.

 

[chidog1]

On my S7 the disable button is grayed out, but i can force stop it. Would that be the same?

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Yes. But it will go back enabled if you factory reset.

 

[Dannydet]

Guys if you're not rooted it's pretty much impossible to screw up your phone, your phone can run only 1 launcher at a time, so install Nova launcher and your fine.
Just disable TouchWiz as stated above

 

[raman123]

@raman123 Sure!

[Dannydet]

Settings, apps, TouchWiz as disabled or force stop... that's about it.

 

[chanchan05]

Bah. You don't even have to disable anything. Set Nova as default, then restart. Touchwiz won't be running.

 

[raman123]

Settings, apps, TouchWiz as disabled or force stop... that's about it.
