I'm not sure what the rest of your Javascript looks like, so I won't be able to tell if there is any interference. But .hover() works just fine as an event with .on().

$("#foo").on("hover", function() {
  // disco
});

If you want to be able to utilize its events, use the returned object from the event:

$("#foo").on("hover", function(e) {
  if(e.type == "mouseenter") {
    console.log("over");
  }
  else if (e.type == "mouseleave") {
    console.log("out");
  }
});
