Is there a way to backup my TouchWiz homescreen? I know I can install nova launcher, but I'd like to stay with touch wiz if possible. Could it be done?
If you have rooted your phone, try Titanium. Otherwise I don't think so

Go to settings/Samsung Cloud/Backup or restore and here you can backup your touchwizz homescreen only way i know to do that
That's not an option on my device?
Only Calendar, contacts, Internet and keyboard.
All..I found an app called "My backup " that allows me to save all of the apps and folders on my TouchWiz homescreen. Works great!

I know in ADW Launcher you can hide the names of the apps either in the drawer, on the desktop or both.
I just want to hide the names on the Stock Sense desktop and don't want to run a different launcher (yes I'm rooted etc.)
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks!

You can use Titanium backup to freeze the app thus making it unusable and hiding the icon in the app-drawer.

I just want to hide or remove the name of the app. So it just shows the app and not the description below it.

As far as I know you can't backup the widgets and Folders.
But you can backup the apps (+Data). I use Titanium Backup Pro to Backup and restore my apps.
My Backup Pro will let you backup/restore the Sense launcher settings and your homescreens (as well as SMS/MMS, call logs, and your apps)

I tried this app but my home screens werent restored.
Could you expand where this setting is on the app?
EDIT just did it in titaniumBU! you need to restore the DESKTOP HTC SENSE XXXX.
For some reason it doesnt do it while doing a batch restore, the icons are all back (whoch saves a lot of time), the wallpaper and the widgets need to be readded.
Has anyone figured out a method to backup the shortcuts, folders, and widgets on your homescreen in the default Google Experience Launcher? With Titanium backup or another method?
+1. I'd like this too. It might have to do with the fact that Google search is integrated. Maybe you have to backup Google search and launcher?

Hi guys I set up my wife's s6 and while trying to use helium backup to restore done apps without rooting her phone. I restored the icons to the new phone and now it won't stop force closing. I installed a third party app. But she really wants touchwiz back because of the widgets.
The help I need is,
Is there a way to reinstall the app?
I've tried with one I found online but it won't install because it won't overide a system app. I didn't know if there was a way to force it and if someone could post am apk of the launcher to try that one also.
Thanks,
Try going into app manager in setting and find the app launcher you installed. Click on it and to go to app info and click the button that says clear defaults. Once it does press the home button and it should ask which launcher you want as default.
what launcher did you have? i dont think touchwiz gets "uninstalled"
like in nova > settings > select default home
Yes I know all that. But touchwiz force closes so it won't let me use it. I have Nova as a backup
So you were restoring apps using Helium Backup and it restored an icon pack? Can't you delete the icon pack?
