is there a way to remove touchwiz from the ics leaked rom?! CIQ is disabled if i could get rid of touchwiz id be in heaven
Without installing a custom ROM, I dont know of a way to just remove it. But, you can install a new launcher from the market. Try Nova or Apex. They wont change everything like the dialer and notification bar, but they do change a lot.

Some lauchers do, but some don't... you will have to try different ones to see which is for you. Try ADW or Launcher pro.

some more than others, but it doesn't affect mine too much
Im using Apex and just installed it today so I cant really give you to much detail on the battery life just yet. I would just experiment. The good thing about launchers is you can always uninstall them and try a different one without messing up the original Touchwiz.

Are you referring to the launcher or the overall skin? If it's the launcher then you can use Titanium Backup.

I'm definitely not a fan of TouchWiz, but I'd rather deal with TouchWiz on ICS than still be stuck it with GB..

MyUi_DECEPTICON
this is just something i threw together so i could flash miui (sounds like my u i)
i just hated the wood so i replaced it with metal. i liked the speed of this rom but still missing too many features of cm6 for my taste. i can appreciate it though and will be working on it. it includes working hulu with all the fixes and i themed the kb to match. enjoy
just flash over v1.05
anyone willing to test with 1.08 please report back, im going to bed
DOWNLOAD MyUi_DECPTICON
Looking forward to your continued work on this rom.

I knew you couldnt resist!!! With Launcher Pro this ROM is a freakin win!! I love MIUI except for the lame ass launcher.
Will flash with 1.08 and hope things don't blow up haha
What exactly do you miss from cm6? I'm not missing much of anything myself.
I flashed and don't get the cool lock screen change or anything. I do have the new fonts though
Maybe related to me being on 1.08 but I don't know. What file is that change located in?

my cmsettings, and cmparts that let me edit and control everything w/o modding. an app drawer,setcpu working;no kernel yet.power options for reboot are missing as well.
if i continue to use i have a few more ideas to add. the launcher is rather lame as well. i feel like i lost tech switching from adw,however it is so fast, not sure if that was the rom itself or adw sucking ass.

Okay I'll try that update when you get it. I just use Launcher Pro myself and its a win!
Plz excuse my ignorance but when you say just flash over v1.05 what exactly doo you mean?

flash over an existing 1.05 install or directly after 1.05 before reboot from recovery.
thx man...i flashed and still got the gift box lock screen...did i do something wrong? All else is outstanding so far!! Can't wait for more!!
Is there a trick to get the volume to work?
flashed on the 1.08, some of it appears to work, however my red carbon swype is gone, give's it a black them, which can be bad since when it's guessing which words you mean you can't see some of them since they are black on black, lol, but mostly it's not bad other then that and the lock screen was my last one i had, lol, can you make a clear theme such as like Riptides9 he did for froyo, that would be sick.

ok i have looked online and i have seen that on other Samsung android phones you can remove touchwiz by installing a "stock" rom, but to me a stock rom is the one with Touchwiz.... can someone link me to a rom thats stable and doesnt have touchwiz....im new to this phone and been using the inspire 4g but the glass shattered...i understand i will have to root phone that i know but the roms for this phone nobody seems to post pictures of what they look like.
Best rom that's stable and most themed is Sky ice cream rom by Sean. GO flash it hands down the best rom in our dev forum.

thanks i just felt wierd coming from inspire thier development area has some really really good roms for that phone, came here and was just overwhelmed with the choices and none seemed to stand out among the crowd. Ill give it a go i just really really despise touchwiz ui and its the reason i normally stay away from sammy phones, that and the fact samsung is extremely slow to put out new os's on their phones if they ever do...got burnt on the Behold 2 never got my update cause they never put it out.
Yap its still young phone and we still have more roms compare to vivid and holiday combine. Once ICS comes than it will be different flashing game haha

So does the Sky ICS ROM have Touchwiz removed? You state it is themed... but never removed... I just ask because I am very curious about this phone, but depise the iPhone rip-off that touchwiz brings to android.
You won't see touchwiz unless you chose that launcher and if you don't chose that launcher than you won't see touch wiz. You got option there like ICS launcher and every other things like setting, contacts, and stuff is ics themed.

exactly, you don't need to root or flash a custom rom to get rid of Touchwiz. For example, download "Gingerbread Launcher" and set as default when it prompts you. Turns your phone into a vanilla gingerbread android phone and Touchwiz is gone. I use ADW Launcher Ex and set it to "Fast" preset. Phone absolutely flies and no sign of Touchwiz anywhere. Stock everything for me.
ive been having issues with ever single rom in here. my fav the nexusmod, facebook app doesnt work it makes me use the browser, a few others camera doesnt work or gps doesnt work. or its overclocked which makes the battery die faster. i just want a damn rom thats as basic as it can be but still have everything work... and only reason i hate touchwiz launcher is i dont use the email app and from what i read you cant remove it from that launcher bar.

does anyone actually understand that Touchwiz is MORE than a launcher?
and you cant remove it from the launcher bar? where did you hear such asinine things?

Really? I make it my business to never take part in flaming or making a member feel unwanted, but really? What have you contributed to the community to make such a demand? Such a request shows your ignorance towards the hard work and dedication that is put into the work that you use for FREE!
If you are not satisfied with the the work the community provides, don't use it. I speak for the entire development community when I say Restore your device to stock and STFU you ungrateful bastard.
If i offended anyone, I apologize but it's individuals like this guy that make devs feel unappreciated.

Ok, so maybe I'm a bit thik in this smartphone thingie, sorry to post on S II.
I got an i9070 (SGSAdvanced) and I would like to remove Touchwiz, since I got APEX installed. Now... from what I gather here, Touchwiz is a different, more complex animal then APEX and basically can't/shouldn't be removed? If so, does it slow down my phonw, like say... a PC with 2 OS installed(e.g.: Windows7+Ubuntu)?
I got Titanium and RomManager too, all the free versions. I'll gladly pay full versions when I'll be a bit used to them, learning atm, same case with APEX. Altough I don't know what APEX full has extra yet.
Anyway. I thankd the people that answered already, hoping for a YES you can remove, NO, you can't remove, BUT you can make it so it doesn't draw resources, and THIS is the Dumbie link for doing that.
Wtf, you know this thread is a year old? No you can't remove touch and what does tibu and rom manager have to do with it?
What was the best before sliced bread?

you are in the skyrocket section, you need to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1952. and the answer is yes you can remove touchwiz.
No you cant remove tw from a stock system if you think you can you need to do a lot more digging. Try removing twframework.apk see what happens try removing systemui.apk too while you're at it. Jesus you noobs kill me with false info.

For clarity, you can't remove it but, you're correct that, you can find roms that don't rely on tw.

Hope you are doing well . Sorry if my question was wrong . I can't understand . Touchwiz is a launcher created by samsung for their devices .
Or is touchwiz a rom or kernal ? .I DELETED TOUCHWIZ FROM MY S DUOS . I am using nova launcher succesfully without any error .
Please describe me if my assumption about tochwiz was wrong.
Touchwiz consists of several pieces taking out the launcher is part of it but that doesn't remove touchwiz itself. Touchwiz is deeper than a launcher.

Try different launchers. Popular ones are Nova, Apex, SPB Shell, TSF Shell. You'll be able to customize a lot more things than standard launchers like Touchwiz or Trebuchet.
Nova is a damn good launcher. Also, I believe you can use some of the themes in the theme forum even in stock rooted.

This is all true. Nova is great. Im running it now on my GS3 and works great!
Set from my Verizon Stock Rooted (Modded) Galaxy S3 using xda-developers app
Nova is ok, but I prefer Apex launcher.
theres a bunch out there. find one that suits you best!

and desktop visualizer can give you some cool setups.
minimialistic text and UCCW are cool to play with too.
Does anyone else find the white background of the launcher hideous? I use Nova to avoid it... For everything else that is great looking with Material Design and whatnot, any thoughts on that white background?

White is part of the material design. Its part of the grey spectrum as identified in the design guidelines.
It is ugly in he launcher though. I like it in settings.
HTC SENSE 7 LAUNCHER FOR S6/S6 EDGE
Ok guys, so far this is just a base for a project, currently my device doesn't have root, therefore I'm doing what i can without. Therefore here is the sense 7 launcher working that can be installed on your Galaxy S6/Edge. Install both APK'S
Once/IF we get root i can definitely get things working better. However, in the meantime, when placing widgets you can jut tap them, and move them later.

I could be mistaken, but the one you link to seems to just be Blinkfeed related, where this is the Sense 7 launcher. Seems like you'd already have to have the Sense launcher to use the Blinkfeed plugins from that other thread.

It is the launcher and all. Like you said you can't have the plug ins without the launcher. The OP of that thread covers it all. He is even going to get the themes to work too. He had spent a lot of time getting it to work for any device.
I can't get any of the news feeds to show up in blonkfeed. I can choose which ones, but when I go back to the home, nothing shows up.
