Why not install a new launcher and make it your default? It is possible to delete it if you are rooted but it is also preferred not to delete it, just to be on the safer side. Always have a backup launcher..

hmm.. if your purpose is to free up space then it's no use. twlauncher is just kb in size. it will only reduce a very little amount of memory. better use app2sd scripts or apps like s2e, link2sd, etc.. to maximize your internal memory..

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

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.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
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

Use SystemTuner Pro... u can freeze/uninstall it
Is there a way?

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?

apps not showing in app drawer after a restart is a bug on Emanon v5.. after restart, go to Settings>Applications>Running Services, look for Samsung Home the Force Stop it. Press home button to relaunch Samsung Home. You should now be able to see your apps in app drawer. If you have not enabled any s2e option, you can uninstall it directly. Use root explorer, delete s2e apk in /system/app or use titanium backup..
Hey everyone!

no because it isnt running if you are using a different launcher
I want to switch to a new launcher. Probably nova or apex. When I install a new launcher I still have the old one running in the background. Is there a way to delete the launcher? The guy that made slim pics somehow managed to. He made zeam instead of stock.
Am I right that you're running Slim ICS with Zeam Launcher?
If so, get a root explorer/browser > go to /system/app find the zeam launcher and delete the apk.
Reboot and clear cache. should do the trick

Or even you can use titanium backup to uninstall that app.
Use App freezer.
You may want to use it later but want to reduce memory consumption so i suggest you to do with titanium backup to freeze or use app freezer to freeze it ^^.
Thanks guys! And, no, I'm not on slim, don't like it. ICSSGS FTW!
