Do a search for TouchWiz launcher?
If you check in the Super Clean thread, adrynalyne posted the Touchwiz launcher packaged with the stock widgets. It's labeled "eb01_touchwiz.zip"
If this doesn't replace the stock launcher, it should make the stock launcher a second launcher option. If this happens, you will get two options when you press the home button. There is a checkbox below these saying something like "use this as the default for this action." Check this box before selecting the Touchwiz launcher option, and you won't see that selection again.
If for some reason you want to go back to the other launcher (or you have set a default for other functions - browser, music, etc.), you can clear it by going into System -> Applications -> Manage Applications, find the Touchwiz launcher (or whatever you've set as default), and then press "Clear Defaults."
Thanks, this helps.
But on my second phone, captivate, running andromeda I have 3 app list mode. List view, customized grid view and alphabetical grid view.
What is the version?

That would be the captivate's TouchWiz Launcher, you can find them in Stock ROM images for the captivate. Each Galaxy S Touchwiz is a little bit different. As an alternative, there are modded versions based on the Captivate TW, one by GTG, thread found in the i9000 forum, and one by myself found in the Themes and Apps of the Fascinate forum.
I use sgs tools to load up one of various twlaunchers that support exactly what you wish
If you need this pm me your email and I'll hook you up.

GO Launcher EX is the extra version of GO Launcher, one of the most popular stock home replacement app in android market, provides beautiful themes, fast flip speed and tons of useful functions. Don't know how many of you use it. Its very fast has an inbuilt task killer also!!
Check out the website!!

I've been using GO Launcher for a while now, it's by far the best out there. Only strange thing i noticed is that with GO Launcher EX you need to install a separate module in order to have missed call and message notifications down in the dock.
Can you organize apps into different categories?

No but u can put them into folders.
Awsme launcher thanx
I've tried other launchers and this is the only one moving smoothly on my Optimus. In addition to that it has icon personalization and you can make those annoying never-used apps disappear in your app menu.
it has enough customization options and the battery use is quite low. A must-have!
very good ...... n.n
Go Launcher EX in my opinion has to be the best one out there.
I am one of the people who actually enjoyed Touchwiz at first....well, until my app drawer reached over 10 pages (That's 160 apps and I even had the bloatware hidden with TiBackup)
Anyways. I have just this completely crazy and awesome thing going with Go Launcher on my phone. The best thing is, I've gone from 10 pages all the way down to 4. This launcher has so much customization and features, and on top of it all, it runs extremely fast.
I have posted several screens of what I have done on my phone using Go Launcher as well as just some screens so people can see it and understand it more.
The 1st is a preview of the ui swiping side to side, the 2nd is all my home screens, the 3rd is what the new app drawer looks like (notice the folders INSIDE the app drawer), the 4th is just all the options I have on my main home screen. The 5th and 6th Images are showing how you can switch the dock back and forth. The 7th is showing the modded facebook app available here on the XDA and my personal mod of the Picture Dial widget. And the last is the Screen Shortcut Screen (when you pinch the screen at home).
I hope you all enjoy.
NOTE: The "theme" I have is purely from the customization features I had available. I did not mod it at all (with the exception of one widget) nor did I actually create a theme for the Launcher like those which are available for ADW.
You can find almost all of what you see via internet. I had to photoshop a few icons (you'll notice them on the screen shots showing my different dockbars as those images are more recent).
gunna have to give this one a try adw launcher just isnt cuttin it for me any more
Using 2.3.2 Mur4ik ROM what I find is that Home Manager shows both Go Launcher EX and stock launcher are running at the same time, stock can take up to 40mb RAM, and second that for Go Launcher EX, so I've changed to stock because I want more mem and when I AutoKill stock then Go launcher Running tab says there's more ram.
How can I customize stock 2.3 launcher?
I need to change number of screens to 3 from 5, I don't need more.
Is there any way to create folders in menu instead in "desktop" only?
Screen transistions are not my priority, but Go Launcher is much user friendly anyway, and allows quick access to most commonly used options by me.
Yeah just hold one app and drag ontop of another to put them both in a folder

How much memory did you say Go Launcher used up? when I'm in it's app drawer tab and kill everything I can only get a max of about 150 out of a possible 303Mb
I will say that you can clear up some memory if you "Freeze" your default launcher using Titanium Backup.
Oh and one of the coolest things about Go Launcher is that since I made a Titanium Backup of it before changing Roms, when I got my phone back up and running again, all I had to do was go into Go Launcher's Preferences, scroll down and hit restore configuration (I had made a back up, can't forget that) and all my custom icons were restored. I had to add my widgets back manually, but that wasnt too big of a deal (I didn't make a titanium backup of that, but I think you can).
...hold on, actually Titanium Backup just restored all my apps, the Go Launcher's configuration is completely separate from titanium backup. GO Launcher creates it's own folder on your SD card for it's backups. It's pretty cool.
Soooo..... has anyone happened to have talked to the developer or anything to find out about making custom themes? I haven't had any experience making themes for other launchers, but I'd like to give a shot at making one for Go Launcher and I haven't seen anything on how to make one unfortunately.
nice but crashes too frequently
for my it is the best launcher for now, and in the oficial page says that it going to have customs themes
Is there any way to decrease the number of screens? I find it incredibly irritating to see have 5 screens, I only need and use 2.
I found GO Launcher to work best with stock 2.1. There are buch of themes for it, but only several of them are good for me.

My phone cones default with above launcher. I just changed to go launcher ex and wanted to remove tw . My phone is roots. Can someone guide me on the removal? I tried holding onto the icon but the "x" does not appear. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
you can download root uninstaller from market and find the twlauncher, and remove it
i wouldnt do it tho, in case your go launcher fails you will lack a launcher to do stuff
you can also delete the tw launcher using root explorer.just navigate to system/app
But as you have been warned delete TW launcher and not replace it phone cannot load .
jje
As JJE has pointed out, removing TW is fraught with danger.
If you really don't like it the best thing to do is install a launcher you do like then freeze the stock launcher in Ti or similar. This way your launcher of choice will be the default. Also bear in mind you can't completely get rid of TW, it is very much baked into your rom and its services are always running in the background/the launcher you use runs on top of it.
I also use GoEx & have the default Miui launcher frozen in Ti. I don't recommend removing anything to do with the stock launcher.
Go launcher allows you to make it your default launcher when setting it up so there's no need to mess with removing tw.

Or flash a rom that doesn;t use TW - like Illusion - go launcher as standard
I have about three launchers in the system / apps folder and use home switcher to change but only really use TW .

I have already made go launcher ex as default. But once a while when I kick on the centre button, the same prompter will appear asking me to choose btw go launcher and tw launcher. Everyttime I tick the box and make go.launcher the default, the prompter will appear again.
That's why I am thinking of removing it altogether. Or perhaps Bro/sis know how to solve the jnial problem?
Have you changed default through go launcher settings as well? because I'm using it and never have that problem. Maybe try clearing defaults in application management for go launcher too.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
OK. Because I'm an all round good guy, I'll repeat this for the 2nd time.
Get Titanium Pro from the Market (or Gemini if you don't want to pay, or several other apps that can freeze apps), and freeze the stock launcher. I have done this in Miui and am using GoEx as my default launcher without having to tick any boxes or without the stock launcher prompting me or appearing out of nowhere.

Manage to remove that ignoring prompter with the help of u guys!! Keep it up !!
So umm, I see a lot of people talking about "changing the launcher". But I do not know what a launcher is. I see it in my settings (running MIUI on my Infuse 4G).
So my question, and yes I know I probably sound like a knowledgeless-fool. But, what is a launcher?
A launcher is an interface replacement that gives u a new home screen and app drawer. U can customize it a lot according to ur choice
Best are go launcher, adw and launcher pro
I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Like ICS said, a launcher changes your homescreen and appdrawer, making it prettier and sometimes even more useful. I haven't used MIUI personally. Maybe it comes with a launcher, and maybe it has some features that a new launcher would duplicate. I know CM7 comes with ADW Launcher.
My favourite things about LauncherPro: First, you can change the homescreen grid size. Second, you can swipe between multiple docks. You can make dock icons link to activities, not just applications. And you can assign different shortcuts for swiping a dock icon. So if I press the phone icon, it goes to the dialer; if I swipe it, it goes to the call log. Plus any launcher is going to be prettier than stock, but MIUI is beautiful itself.
There's no harm in trying out a couple of different launchers. I prefer LP, others prefer Go or ADW. I know Go and ADW are much more theme-able. The only thing is that with a rom like MIUI that already looks good, a new launcher might look out of place.
Launcher is the bit you see and use when your not running an app or making a phone call.
You can change it easily by going to the android market and downloading a new one like nemus launcher or go launcher ex.
Once downloaded they will auto install. You can try the new launcher without changing your current one by pressing phones home button.
Menu pops up asking which launcher to use, choose the name of the new one and try it out.
If you want to keep it press home again but before choosing new launcher this time tick the box it shows saying "use as default launcher".
If you don't like it just do the same with the tick but choose your original launcher instead.

I.. do not understand.. So it is like a theme?
Not exactly. It's a replacement.
For example, suppose ur running the stock eclair with the slide up vertical app drawer
Now, u want a button to launch the drawer., and u want it to be horizontal. How will u do it?
Enter Launchers
It replaces the drawer with its own, and its own dock bar
In short, it is not a theme, but a replacement that CAN BE THEMED

You know Sense, AOSP and Touchwhiz? Well they are default "Launchers"
Launchers can be downloaded from the market w/o root.
They are like a different style of homescreen...
The launcher is the programm you use to launch or start an app on your phone. The launchers UI (User Interface) is what you see as your home screen. Changing the launchers behaviour means changing the way icons are displayed or the pages flip. It lets you customize the way your phones OS feels and looks.
Does this answer your initial question?

If you are running ICS, Nova Launcher is a good one to check out too. It can be found in the Google Play Store. There is a pay version, but the normal one is fully featured IMO. Of course, try out a few and see what you prefer for your setup. When I hit the home button on my phone, it lets me select which launcher it uses by default so you can swap them out.
Just got this thing and it has me wondering are the wallpapers not scrollable? Like the window does not let me resize them at all? Or am I missing something?
Missing something like say the 4 other posts on this?
It does not scroll. You can fix it by rooting and
A. Fix landscape selection by using the gallery.apk from the international note
B. Fix scrolling by editing some code
C. Fix both and more by using Dagr8's rom

I wondered the same thing after getting my Note, and found that it's probably something with the Sense UI that's not allowing it to scroll.
I downloaded a few Launchers, and found that the "GO Launcher" app allows scrolling to happen (there's an option for it) - this also doesn't require a root of the device as it's just an app. It is a launcher, so it'll change the look/feel of your UI, but if you really like the stock Sense UI, you can configure the GO Launcher to get pretty close looking to stock.

And by Sense, you mean Touchwiz.
EDIT: ha, you already caught yourself.
The stock TW launcher does not allow for scrolling wallpaper. 3rd party launchers, in many cases, do allow for it.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, unless you change the gallery app, you can't set a landscape wallpaper. The stock gallery app forces portrait only.
for Stock users who are looking to get the scrolling back without rooting and keep TW
i have noticed that an APP called PicSpeed lets you fix this.
choose the wallpaper in GALLERY and when asked to set it with pick PicSpeed and the fullscreen option on the right will fit it to the full Notes screen without distortion and should let it scroll though now.
i have not been stock for a while but if i remember corretly this was how i got mine to scroll and look sharp without the root and launcher fix.
hope it helps others
Im looking for a Samsung Galaxy S2 rom that I can change rthe dock icons. Loads of roms out there but Im looking for an ICS similer to the LPW8 thats on my GS2 atm. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance
use nova launcher and you can change whatever you want. Just Longpress a icon and choose by your downloaded icons.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You can also use Apex Launcher which I think has more features than Nova
Choose whatever ROM you want and just change the launcher. I, for one, hate TouchWiz and the very first thing I install whenever I flash a new ROM is Go LauncherEX and then I uninstall TW.
Besides the 2 lauchers other users have suggested, I'd like to also add Go LauncherEX to that list. It's free, easy to use, very customizable, fast and has lots of free widgets.
Whatever is your new launcher of choice, be sure to either also install a Launcher Manager (use as Home Manager : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.carp.HomeManager ) or root the phone and uninstall TouchWiz.
