remove touchwiz

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

I ment everything. I am tired of touchwiz already. and i wish to remove the whole launcher including the dailer. as the sammy dialer conflicts with an app i have written.

well. you must install an AOSP based rom.

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.

[Q] cm didnt installed the stock launcher

Hi
I recently got my nexus 5 and I installed CM 11 on it yesterday...
I am still trying to figure it out..
I know I suupose to have the option to select between launcher and launcher 3.
I got only launcher 3, and I was wondering is there a way to install the stock launcher?
Thank you!

Which GApps did you install? I think when you install the full GApps, it replaces the stock AOSP launcher with the Google Experience Launcher. If you want to keep the stock launcher, you have to install a version of GApps that excludes the GEL.

Could you refer me to good gapps that give me the option to choose between GEL and Cm launcher?
Or at least only GEL?
I am almost 100% that in the older versions of cm you could choose between the launchers...

If you do not want the GEL you can delete the apk from within the zip.

See below...
FULL MODULAR PACKAGE
This package is identical to the Google Stock Package above except that it does NOT include Google Keyboard, Google PhotoSphere Camera/Gallery, and will not remove your stock/AOSP Launcher, Keyboard, Browser, or SMS App.
In addition, it also includes Google Bookmark Sync. If you don't have a Nexus device and/or prefer to use the stock/AOSP apps, this package would be perfect for you.

Ported_Tab_4_8inch-4.4.4.TouchWiz_Launcher_&_SecTabletMyFiles2

Ported - Tab 4 8.0 inch - 4.4.4 Touchwiz Launcher for Note 8
What's this?
Did you hear the news? Samsung just updated T-Mobile's Tab 4 (8 inch - 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8) to 4.4.4!. I got the firmware downloaded from sammobile, I extracted, odexed and then ported this baby over to our beloved Note 8 tablet. This is brand new ported TouchWiz Launcher from 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8. I also made animation much smoother, and a few other improvement. Plus, I am including SecTabletMyFiles2.apk from 4.4.4 as well.

Download Link : Moded_Tab4_4.4.4_SecLauncher3.v3.zip_by_Jazzespresso.zip
Install Instruction
This is NOT flashable, do not try to attempt to flash it thru recovery!. This is only deodexed Samsung stock ROMs version 4.4.X such as Civato's FlexBurst or FlexNote ROMs.
Steps:
Make sure you have other 3rd party launcher already installed (such as Nova, Apex launcher..etc) - free version available
Download zip package to your tablet and unzip it, and using root explorer, go to System--> priv-app folder and backup your current SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2 (samsung's stock myfiles that come with it), and delete them. Repeat, you need to delete old ones.
Copy SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2.apk comes with my package, and push it system\priv-app folder and give it 644 (-rw-r--r--) permission.
Go to Stettings, and application manager --> all, find touchwiz app, and clear data and cache and reboot your tablet.
Enjoy your brand new 4.4.4 samsung touchwiz launcher and new SecTabletMyFiles2.
Known issue/bug:
Setting up lockscreen wallpaper thru touchwiz (long press on blank screen and touchwiz setting set wallpaper for set lockscreen wallapaper) FCs.
Instead please use Settings --> Display--> Wallpaper --> Lockscreen. I am NOT considering this as major issue, just small bug that I can live with it. So please do not complain about it.
p.s: if some reason you don't like and like to switch to stock one, just delete this two and put back stock ones and reboot.
Usage:
If you want to use this PORT in your own ROM, you only have to give proper credits (and a thank you would be so nice too), just as a way of courtesy, and you do not need ask for permission, but it would be nice if you let me know if you are using it your own ROM and adding proper credits in your OP posting.

This is Brilliant. Downloading now ............
Thank you so Much :good: :victory:
Works Great.

Thank you very much.
But sorry if my question is stupid, is it possible to add "Phone" or other app replace "My files" in the left bottom of home screen?

For setting, you can try this if you are adventures enough - I would strongly recommend you to do full nandroid backup before you try this!
Download SecSettingsProvider.apk to your tablet's SD card from link below;
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001606446
In your tablet, go to root's system\priv-app, and make a back up of your current SecSettingsProvider.apk, and then rename current one like SecSettingsProvider.apk.backup.
Now, copy the one you download and push it to system\priv-app, and give permission to 644 and reboot your tablet.
and go settings and see...
Be warned that this has some bugs, one issue is multiwindow bar sometimes does not works... I still could not able to figure out why so.

for status bar, use S5 SystemUI theme exposed (search in XDA) or download it here :

Getting settings is though, but maybe getting System UI (status bars..etc..) would be possible

Nice work, but is it me or did i miss out something? My weather widget not in proper size. Thanks

Couple of things you can do here:
First option; try to go Settings --> Application manager --> All --> and locate the accuweather/weather app, click on it, and press clear data and clear cache. After that remove weather widget from home screen and reboot your tablet. And place the weather widget on your home screen and see it it is properly sized. If not, move on to second option
Second option; because we are using Tab 4's launcher, current accuweather/weather widget won't properly resized because that one is for stock TW launcher, therefore you need to find or hunt accuweather app from other Samsung devices, search in XDA and you will see there are many diffrent version for diffrent size, hopefully you will find one that fits nicely. If you think this is too much work, move on to third option
Third option; There's new Accuweather and Briefing Widget I ported from Tab 4 too, which I am using it and it has some additional features as well, so you can go here New Accuweather and Briefing Widget, and follow the install instruction.

If you have Nougat just go into settings then Wallpapers and Themes and then select icons at the top and tap new at the bottom where you can download more icons and just apply them only and don't need any type of launchers.

Unfortunately if you download them from the play store, you have to use a launcher sadly.

[APP][PORT] Pixel Launcher from Android P

This is a "port" of the Pixel Launcher from the P developer preview. It hardly has any changes, just a non-transparent dock and some more rounded edges:
No changes to the APK have been made other than removing the signature check and resigning the APK. It crashed without that.
This will NOT install on top of any previous versions of the Pixel Launcher!
Download
Pixel Launcher Mods works on this as well, to change icons and labels, if you are rooted.

some people are so fast , thanks for sharing OP !

Can we have the Twrp flashable version please

Thanks for sharing this.

It's signed with a test key from the Zipsigner app, that's why
The launcher settings thing I'm not going to fix because this isn't intended to do so it's just a direct port

Can't install in PEX Moto G Osprey cuz of pixel launcher prebuilt

Yes, because it has the same package name. It has as different signature though, so it will fail to install on top
