Will result in touchwiz being extinguished from your tab. Won't be running at the back after you delete it.

Just remember to have another launcher installed prior to doing that .

Anyone tried that without any problems? I have a gt with overcome 1.2.1 rom and kernel!
Which is the filename of the touchwiz i can delete?
I have adw already installed abd working.

If you set another launcher as default and then reboot, it shouldn't run the default launcher anyway.
And the name of the Touchwiz launcher is "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk".
Don't delete it, move it to /sdcard/ so you've got a backup.
You can also just freeze the appa instead of deleting/moving it. Use Titanium Backup or similar to freeze it and then it wont run.
Alternative if you want to remove you can also use SystemApp remover if you cant locate the correct apk.
maybe you can crash something. in P1000L (Brazil) tab, TV app doesn't work without touchwiz...
the phone app will not work without the touchwiz launcher
How to simpy freeze it?cant find its filename in titanium backup!
Uhm,are you sure that touchwize wont load on boot but just adw?

Hello fellow xda members. I had a problem the other day. I installed sgs tools and tried downloading a different launcher. It loaded the launcher fine but I wasn't satisfied. I tried restoring it but it gives the error "folder not found." I was wondering if anybody knows how to reinstall the built in default tw launcher and if I can possibly restore the layout.

I'm sure you could find the apk with a search.
Are you running a custom rom?
No, I'm runnin default android 2.2 froyo. Rooted, but nand backup doesn't work either. A few months ago, I tried backing up with rom manager, but after rebooting, their still wasn't any backups availible to restore. When I boot into system recovery, it doesn't even open cyogenmod reovery.

CM revovery? Stock 2.2? I'm confused.
I tried. Google doesn't show any, only custom launchers and I don't want that.

Bump...
Did you manually check the sgs tools folder for the backup of your stock launcher?
I've been using the gingerbread launcher from the market and I really like it. Just putting it out there to think about it.
Sorry I meant clockwork recovery mod. THAT didn't work or I wouldn't be asking for a way to reinstall default tw launcher. Thanks for all the current ideas

If you still need it, I attached it for you. Just drop it in the system/app folder. Good luck.
Never mind.someone else got it.
OMG THNX FOR ALL YOUR GUYZ (or girls if any) HELP!!! THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Thanks for all you guyz help ( again) but it didn't work so ill just stick with a gb launcher

The one from the market is super easy. And if you accidentally delete it, it's there to reinstall
This is the one from my phone. Dont know if it is what you are looking for as i am currently running Continuum, but good luck.
I think you might need the .odex file as well since I recall seeing that you are running stock 2.2. Did you delete that file?
I'm not sure. How do I check?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can use Root explorer or a similar app and navigate to system/app. See if there are .odex files for the corresponding apk's. If the one for the launcher is missing than that would cause the issue. What happens when you try to run the launcher? does it just force close?
edit: I was able to find the apk and .odex file from a stock 2.2 build. Just drop it in hopefully this works. Just unzip and extract the files manually.
I can't find it. All there is is the .odex for the tw launcher wallpaper

^ I was editing my post while you posted, in case you missed it, I added the files you need.
Is there a way?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Hmm, good question. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think it's possible.
Edit: What might work is that you copy the TouchWiz launcher APK. If you're rooted then just go to system/app, find the APK and copy it.
I THINK this will do it.

Use Titanium Backup and System data/app (whatever it called again) backup - scroll down to Twlauncher to backup it settings. This should do it.
I usually do it with mine old Desire to backup the HTC Sense launcher settings, email/gmail settings etc and should be the same with TouchWiz.
But u can only restore, if using same ROM and cant restore the settings on another custom ROM.

Can u be more specific?? like if you want backup all apps use titanium backup, or if you want to store all stuff like s memo, wallpapers, messages etc use Kies.
I have this question as well. Specifically, is there a way to back up the folders in the app drawer as well as the arrangement of icons and Widgets on the home screen?

I am using rooted JVU firmware and would like to install ICS keyboard to my system/app.
I used Root Explorer to copy the apk file into the directory and did a reboot, and the keyboard appeared on my locale and text menu.
However, when I try to select the keyboard, it always return a force close.
Can anybody teach me on how to solve this issue?
There is a thread called "How to: Push apps(.apk)" - you will have to try to use the search function for that name cause I don't think I can post a link yet

Is it that not all apk can be installed onto system/app?

You can also try an app called "system cleanup". I'm not sure if it's on the market but there is a thread where you can dl it or you could use titanium pro

Ics keyboard is made to work on android 4.0.x framework ported from Nexus S, ok?
As you revealed in OP you are using Sammy JVU 2.3.6 TouchWiz infected framework.
Why not try to rip out HTC keyboard and push that too while you're in the mood?
When you push an ask to system/app am I write in saying it does not deleted in factory reset..??
What about pushing to system system/media..??
When pushing an apk to system folder,u need root and there is 2 easy ways,either use a root explorer and just push it to the system/app folder or use titanium backup to revert to system app.factory reset(full wipe) doesn't wipe system apk,but everthing else is wiped..
U can also push apk to system via ADB.but a little bit of knowledge is needed

Just install Apex and make it default. I suppose that Trebuchet is integrated with CM, so you can't remove it maybe (you will have problems if Trebuchet.apk is missing I guess).
I froze it in TB and made nova launcher default and only one.
No problems, except in settings-homescreen I get nova settings and I lost crt off effect upon lock.
