Remove TW bloatware

Anyone have tried to remove all the TouchWiz bloatware on the Galaxy's stock rom? I refer to interface itself, not only cosmetic effects (I use the ADW launcher, but TW it's still in background and eat resources). If it's possible I am searching to a vanilla rom with only the features of touchwiz (FM Radio, Camera, ecc...) but without the TW interface at all.
Anyone is working about this?

Re:
if u want to get rid of bloatware you have to first root the stock rom
use cf root acc to ur rom ie. jvr jvt jvu or whatever
use titanium backup from play store
u can then uninstall bloat ware
as for touchwiz as far as what I understand from what ur saying u want touchwiz features but don't want the touchwiz launcher ?
use titanium backup and uninstall the launcher application . I think its called tw home or something similar . DO IT AFTER INSTALLING A DIFFERENT HOME APP LIKE ADW ! .
press home key and set ur new launcher like adw as default .
done !
as for rom faryaab's F1 roms are great .
to get rid of the background stuff use auto killer task manager from play store

[Q] Launcher Pro/TW Launcher.....

I want to use Launcher Pro as my main Launcher, but I read that it does`nt over ride TW, its just there with TW. My question is, since I dont use TW that much, could I clean it up by getting rid of some of the apps there, or would that also delete or affect apps etc. in Launcher Pro?
No point in having TW packed with stuff when I dont use it that much, cheers!

i agree having 2 launchers i think is essential as back up when modding either of them so you can use the other one to fix the one you break if you know what i mean. Just set launcher pro as default and you wont know tw is there.
Any apps you uninstall will be deleted from both launchers.

Ah cheers lads, I`m just trying to have my phone set up so it has as less apps/programs running as possible, I want it to be smoooooth running!

Anyone else have problems setting default launcher? i have TW and pro but every time i click home screen it asks to set default, says the default is set in manage applications...
Any ideas?

Try a restart dude, sounds stupid but might work, then select and check the default box when prompted.

Alternatively you could try get a rom from the dev section where TW has already been removed. I don't recommend removing it manually if you're not sure what you're doing..
Also, they're both just launchers, so they just list links to apps. If you remove an app in TW, it will be removed from LP

ive just installed darkys rom can someone please explain why i have two launchers ie launcher and tw launcher - what do these do and which one should i use as my default. thanks

Launchers launch your app. It's up to you which you prefer.

[Q] Gingerbread launcher for stock (rooted) 2.3.5 JVT

Hey all,
Have a Galaxy S, stock 2.3.5 jvt, rooted CWM3.
The TWLAUNCHER sux big time, i want the stock GGB Launcher, downloaded Launcher2.apk file somewhere on the net, but cant get it to work.
Put it into System/App not working, renamed it to TW3launcher.apk (or something like that), not working...
Can someone help me out ?
Dont want to use ADW or GO etc. just stock ggb ;-)
Thanx !

Why don´t you just download it from the market?

the version found on the market is for android 2.2
when using this one on 2.3.x you get blurry icons etc...
I want one who's integrated into the system.
Thanx

or you could just use Zeam launcher instead

can use GO launcher instead...

TS said no to ADW nor GO.

Want to replace the current (default) launcher with the oreginal GGB launcher.
Go, ADW, Zeam, etc are all app's that runs next to the default launcher.
Thats the deal-e-o
Is it posible?....
Yes?... How?
No?... ...

[Q] How to use S-Planner widget with non stock launcher

Iam on JB 4.1.2 cooked rom
want to keep using S-Planner widget but also with other launcher than stock can support resize widgets
Problem is: as soon I use any other launcher I can not use samsung widgets
I read that I can uninstall samsung apps then install them back as apk to make them as 3rd party apps, is that correct
or is there any other solution to my request?
