Remove Touchwiz - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to remove touchwiz without screwing up my captivate? Last time I tried I was getting all kinds of force closes. I am currently using launcher pro.

it's built-in to the firmware. Really can't get rid of it. Only thing you can do is just use launcher pro.

no one has found a way yet short of building an AOSP ROM, sorry

I figured as much. This phone rocks rooted with the super root lag fix mod. It's going to be sick when we get a custom rom and or froyo update for it!

Launcher Pro is okay, Id definitely recommend ADW Launcher which has had a ton of development work done already and even works perfectly with my Captivate.
On top of that there are alot of themes that can install on top of it if you'd like
Search for "ADW.Launcher" on the market.

its baked into the firmware and I would miss some of the touchwiz features, mainly:
- toggles in the notification panel
- swipe right on contact to call/left on contact to message
If you default launcherpro or another launcher as default, the touchwiz launcher never loads - so no big deal...

And this is under development because.....

Removing TW from the ROM is most definitely a dev issue.

Stock Launcher for the Vibrant that you can Fully Remove Twiz Launcher permanently

Due to Samsung Permission set on there shared uid, we have came into a problem on the Stock Vibrant ROM that we can't remove Twiz Launcher without having Force Close issue's.
This is for Stock user's with root that wish to remove the Twiz Launcher..
File attached..
btw, I love the Wallpaper with this one..
anyone give this one a try? I'm willing to do it when I get home.
Gonna give it a go will post back.
Edit: Its hanging on install for me anyone else?
What's the difference between installing this, or a different replacement launcher such as ADW or Launcher Pro?

Why would I care about uninstalling the twiz launcher? I never see it since I installed ADW from the market.. A far as I an concerned, it is gone.

It runs faster.
How? The twiz launcher is not running on my phone. Task manager confirms that. So how could it be faster?

Well answer me this. Why do you delete blote ware? Is it to save memorie? That would be why you want to run this app. If you delete touch wiz it will free up space. Hence telephone runs faster.

You do not install the launcher.. It will never work try to do adb install, you have to push it into /system/app.

TW Launcher Sort alphabetically

Hello all,
I am looking for a way to alphabetically sort apps in TW Launcher. I already tried:
- removing /dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/launcher.db
- wipe application data of TWLauncher
No luck at all. I am on JPX and DocV5.1
Any ideas?
Thanks
bump... any idea ?
I've been searching for a solution for this a long time but haven't found anything.
I just went with launcher pro instead.

UD Launcher

UD Launcher from the Ultimate Droid rom by Blackdroid.
Posting the Launcher separately for those who like to use it.
This patch will remove any launcher installed [ADW, Stock] and replace it with UD Launcher.

Thank you for UD Launcher
Can anyone post any screenshots/description?
woah thanks - you know I'll give it a go as soon as my stolen phones gets replaced
I really like this, it's basically the stock launcher with extra options for customization. I just wish I could change the number of home screens, then it would be pretty much perfect.
x2 on the # of screens. Also would like to change icon from browser to messages with stock froyo pic

[Q] Which Apps Would You Like to See Developed?

I'm taking ideas for new apps! I'm starting to develop for Android and am looking for ideas on apps to develop. What apps would you like to see developed?
A clone of the TW stock clock for CM7. I loved having an alarm clock with gentle alarms, stopwatch, and timer all in one app. I haven't found a suitable app that combines all three as elegantly as the stock clock did.
I haven't seen this option yet in file managers (if there already is please let me know), but I would like to see a batch file delete with a confirm delete option. That would be nice.

an app that tells you if your battery is calibrated correctly. Nothing like that out there. I know there is a battery calibrator app but not one that tells you if it is calibrated or uncalibrated I think that would be awesome! So you know after you flashed a rom or kernel or something else just pushed it out of wack.
Wifi calling like the T-mobile app.
A better gallery you can organize and junk.

+1. I liked CM7 before it was mainlined, but the lack of gentle alarm and camera comparable to touchwiz really turned me away

I have to 3rd the request for a very basic clock app like the stock Fassy clock. All it would need is an Alarm, Timer, and Stopwatch.
An added bonus would be to somehow make it use the ASOP upper right clock notification instead of a proprietary icon that would have to be placed in the upper left.

I would like to have a program/launcher that places a continuum-like news and message ticker under the dock.

I know there are multiple restore apps out there but I think there's room for improvement. I would like a backup and restore app that puts your phone back basically just like it was before you wiped. Especially home screen setups, also games and what not that you have spent hours, days, or weeks getting to where it is only to have it all go down the tube is pretty frustrating. I can't speak for others but I would easily pay 25 bucks for something like this.
Sent from my I500 using XDA Premium App
I just want a app to modify a status bar, this would be rather difficult to make I think, start with AOSP ROMS. Or, go the high road, start with mods like CM7.

[Q] ICS launchers

I'm currently running THS build 15, and I absolutely love it. The only thing preventing this ROM from being pretty much complete in my books (other than some of the 'placeholder' settings) is the fact that the Trebuchet launcher doesn't allow hiding of apps in the app drawer. I hate clutter, especially since I don't use 90% of the 2 pages of apps that come with it by default.
I love the ICS theme and the ICS drawer, but are there any ICS launchers that are similar but allow hiding of apps in the app drawer?
you could try go launcher with ics theme
