As far as Touchwiz is a launcher, is it possible to rip it off my stock firmware and install onto CM? I found both *.apk and *.odex files for Touchwiz in my GT3 8.0. Just wonder if I can harmlessly instal it as an additional launcher.

As far as I understand it, no, you can't do that. TW is not just a launcher; you need the whole framework for it to function properly.
I just use the Touchwiz 5.0 theme from the play store

OK if you are having issues resizing the wallpaper in the gallery that came with the new ICS leak then I've got a fix for you. I tried changing the code of the gallary3d apk in both ucle2 ics and 2.3.5 gingerbread with no success. So I found a gallary apk file on the net for android stripped the code made some minor tweaks installed and bam I could resize wallpaper again. OK let me give you some info you need to know...
First you will need the apk file from the link below. And you may want to download apex launcher from the market and here is why...
1. Using Apex launcher you have the ability to resize wallper and wallpaper scrolls again as you flip thru home screens. Apex launcher is a free download from the Google play store.
2. With stock touchwiz launcher that came on the phone after you install the apk file below you will have the ability to resize wallpaper only the scrolling wallpaper as you flip thru home screens still does not work in touchwiz and since I don't use touchwiz I'm not gonna try to make it cause touchwiz sucks anyway.
3. With go launcher, tw launcher, MX home and other launchers on the play store I have no idea. Untested on launchers other than those listed above. So try if you want and report if it works on other launchers if you want.
I have tested this on my skyrocket and it is working. Also tested it on my wife's Samsung INFUSE 4G running gingerbread and it fixed her wallpaper resizing issue to. Also fixes wallpaper scroll on the Infuse using touchwiz and go launchers but that was on the Infuse only. WALLPAPER SCROLL DOES NOT WORK USING TOUCHWIZ ON THE SKYROCKET WALLPAPER RESIZE ONLY UNLESS YOU USE APEX LAUNCHER. Just wanted to say that again so I don't get 1000 messages saying my wallpaper still won't scroll using stock launcher.
Now one more thing if you install the apk below like normal just open and install and you still have a problem resizing wallpaper then try this... you must be rooted and have an app installed that lets you get to the root folders. I use rom tool box lite free from Google play but you can use whatever root file explorer you choose. Open up root explorer find the apk you downloaded below and copy it. Then navigate to the system/app folder and paste it there. Use rom manager also free from Google play to fix permissions reboot and it should work. But try the regular install method first. As I said this is working for me on both the new ics leak on my skyrocket and on gingerbread on the Samsung infuse...
Thanks to xcraxydx for providing a couple of apks that I needed....

I'm using Apex Launcher, not rooted, and ran this apk and wallpaper is still not sizable. Is this for rooted users only?
Edit: Just saw in the last paragraph must be rooted. Play on players.

Do anyone know if its easy and / or even possible to remove samsungs touchwiz and move back to stock android ?
you mean launcher? or the whole UI?
if it is the launcher then just install an alternative one tho, it's easy.
If it is for the whole system then flash a custom rom (MTD roms like CM7, CM9,...), there is no way u can get BML AOSP

Then write your app better or figure out why your app won't work. Millions of apps work with hundreds of millions of Sammy phones and they don't tell you on GooglePlay to uninstall all your Touchwiz stuff, they make the app properly so it works.
Is it possible to get touchwiz ux on cm10.1? A themed nova launcher is just not the same. Is it possible or could someone upload the link
I dont know if it will work,but try moving the touchwiz launcher from stock JB to the zip with the SGS3 or SGS4 launcher,and replace the launcher with the tablet version(one from our stock JB),and flash.
Those zips have compatibility files,but have a bad resolution launcher,so by putting the stock Launcher from our tab,you are flashing the tablet version of the S3 launcher instead of the phone one(bad one)

Will try later thanks
To start off I take no credit for the ROM or Google Now Launcher. I'm simply sharing what I've done to get "OK Google" working on the SHOSTOCK XXUNFA5 ROM .
I'm on AT&T SGH-I337 GS4 with MDL boot loader. I'm rooted with TWRP installed. Like most of us I wanted to try out the SHOSTOCK ROM to see what changes had been made from 4.3. But I also love the Google Now Home launcher for the "OK Google" shortcut to search or voice commands for safer/easier texting and use while driving.
So like I said I installed the great SHOSTOCK XXUANF5 ROM. I used John's aroma theme installer for KitKat TW ROMs to give me the blue / darker look. Along with xposed installer with several different mods within it to customize to my liking. And then copy n pasted the Google Now Home Launcher from my ext SD card to "system/app". Then changed permissions to "rw-r--r--" I did all this with ROM TOOLBOX PRO. From the play market.

You can also find John's aroma TW KitKat themer in the apk's and theme's section here on XDA.
I'm not responsible for what you do to your phone or for any of the apks or ROM or themes/ mods I mentioned above. Just sharing something I haven't seen anyone mention yet and that makes my phone a little more useful to me.
Enjoy. Don't thank me or this post. Thank the themer and the DEV of SHOSTOCK.

What's different on the lollipop launcher from the KK launcher?

I have a Note 3 with Lollipop. I just want to see if i can use something from the launcher or at all. I like the launcher cause he is a bit tablet style with the hotseat without apps. I can´t use the KK launcher because i am on Lollipop. It would be nice when you are on the Lollipop leak if you upload the launcher. Thank you.
