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.

Widget Locker is the best IMO for any lock screen mod you want to configure, DPI is in the build prop in the root of the device, Google is your friend on this subject. If you don't understand where the build prop is you should stay away from it. LOL have fun!

Thanks for your reply.. Got app settings module in xposed for dpi.. Works great.. I didnt like widget locker.. Will live with stock lockscreen..
Will we be able to get lock screen widgets with any of the ROMs? Or since the ROMs have to be based on TouchWiz, does that mean we're stuck with basically just themed roms? None of the ones out yet seem interesting, they all just look stock. I'm looking for a rom with custom battery icons, new features, lockscreen widgets, etc. Really missing my Samsung Galaxy S3 with the lack of customization available for the S5.

Check out ninjamorph(in the playstore). I just found it a few days ago u can theme the heck out of your phone with it. Once you get the hang of it it's a breeze. However you do have to have your own icons to swap out or just edit the ones that are there. Here's my power menu themed with ninjamorph

ok, tested and working on my device based off of G900F OEM, this mod should work for all variants. let me know how it goes
copy to sdcard, reboot to SS Recovery and flash, then reboot.
to add or change widgets swipe left or right on the lockscreen

Very much appreciate that you took the time to do this - I'm assuming I need the ROM as well, correct? Or will this work with the stock ROM just by following your steps?

This "Should" work with stock as well as any custom ROM, (I say should because as a mod it is independant of any other requirements) but make sure you flash through SafeStrap recovery make a backup first just to be safe.

Gave it a try but no bueno with the stock ROM. After flashing the zip and rebooting, I lost the lockscreen and hardware menu and home buttons entirely, only the back button was working. Restoring my backup now -- tonight I'll try flashing your ROM and then install the lockscreen widgets.
Wanted to update this thread in case anyone else wanted Lockscreen Widgets back - I installed SafeStrap and the KoolKit ROM then flashed the zip file and I have LockScreen widgets again. Huge thank you to @cstayton for coming up with a solution so quickly!
You can also use Xposed instead of flashing SafeStrap to get Lockscreen Widgets...

xPosed has lots of modules for all sorts of different things HOWEVER, xPosed also causes some very abhorent behavior in custom roms and can cause bad behavior even in stock rooted devices most devs shy away from xPosed in favor of hard coded mods. if the module works fine for then great but if you have issues like private mode not working serious lag on your device or other problems try using the hard coded mods with a custom rom

I guys I googled already but couldn't find solutions to my "problems"... hope you can help.
first of all I'm on stock latest fw .77. I would like to remove the xperia lockscreen and get it replaced by the aosp one, but couldn't do that. in the past, in sony 4.3 fw, there was an apk in /system/app that could be easily removed to get aosp lockscreen, now I don't see that apk anymore (xperialockscreen.apk or something like that.. tried removing keyguard.apk but then I don't have any lockscreen at all anymore).
so I tried xperia xposed by @serajr , and I can then replace the sony lockscreen with a sort of aosp one, but not really the aosp one, as I get 3 unlock shortcuts I don't need at all (search etc) and I can't change them via gravity box do you know how to get the pure aosp kk lockscreen?
other thing, while I am still on the xperia lockscreen, I would like to find a way to hide the "swipe to unlock" text... what I found so far is only for older sony fw, not for the latest kk one.... do you know if that is something already done by someone so I won't need to decompile, recompile etc?
edit:this one fixed thanks to @Gustavo RD78 's mod
TIA!!!
dunno how exactly, but sometimes in aosp lockscreen I could see the custom shortcuts I did set up in GB, sometimes not, only the 3 icons (search, mute, unlock).
problem is that even when I could see the custom shortcuts, they were not active, I mean unlocking the phone through those custom shortcuts did nothing, and could not unlock the screen anymore... really can't understand why sometimes I see them and sometimes not
well installed this great app that has all I need... great!!!

Hi there guys!
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 with lollipop. Instead of touchwiz, iIhave the Google Now Launcher which gives the device a stock lollipop appearance. Now I wanted to know if if could get a stock lollipop look on my whole device like the one on nexus devices. The Google now launcher doesn't change my notification panel or my other apps.
So can anyone tell me how to get the default look on my whole device?

Google Now Launcher is just a launcher. It will only replace TouchWiz's launcher - not the entire UI. To get the looks of stock Lollipop, you'll need to install an AOSP based ROM that is available for your phone or install a theme (or stock firmware based ROM) that looks similar to the theme and UI of stock Lollipop.
