Hi.
Trying to figure this out:
If I install a custom launcher on my stock vibrant, this means the Touch Wiz is not being implemented/used? Or do I have to remove it via root privileges?
-nope, replacing touch wiz launcher does not remove touch wiz USER INTERFACE.
-lol, no. flash an aosp rom.
THANK YOU
What about a way of using Titanium to remove it? Or that's not possible?
it won't work. you have to flash a different ROM like Cyanogen, MIUI, ICS, or any open source based ROM if you wish to get rid if touch wiz all together.
This is because touch wiz interface is a system. Not just a launcher but also includes system apps (but not limited to) mms, dialer, contacts, music player, settings, widgets, etc.

This maynot be possible, but is there a way to keep the stock rom. Do a market fix to get the whole market, and add cpu master to over clock, and change to a different launcher? Seems like everytime I load a custom rom there is always something that doesn't work.

I discovered that I love to much GO launcher EX, but also that it use 15 MB of precious RAM, so I would like to mod the stock ROM for replace the original touchwiz with the Gl-EX.
Is it possible without having any developer skill?
If yes, can you help me found the things that I need (guide, wiki...) ?
thanks!
The stock rom uses just about as much.

You do know that Touch Wiz does not run in the background?
By rooting your phone you are able to dispose Touch Wiz. (which makes GO Launcher your primary launcher since that will be your only one).
i am on stock S5830DXKPB and i dumped touchwhiz for launcherpro.
1. first locate the package representing launcherpro in /data/app. the package name is com.fede.launcher-1.
2. then push it to /system/app
3. change permissions to rw-r-r
4. delete touchwhiz30launcher.apk
to do the above you need root permissions to access /system and preferably use root explorer if terminal emulator is not your thing.

do the sd partition trick to get the phone to use the micro sd card as ram.

No, infact I thought it was so, but then why in app management I see GO launcher like a running and closable app?
BTW, wich package I need to uninstall? SamsungHOME ?
Is this enough? or I must do something like happily1986 as explained?
I recently flashed Clean 1.2 and that's when this started. I use these apps often, so I know it wasn't an issue until I changed roms. Not getting any assistance in the rom thread. Wondering if anyone has seen this.
I am using ADW. I switched back to stock TW and I get the same view in the apps on TW, so it's not the launcher causing this..I have reinstalled the apps and it still happens.
Here is SQLite
This is File Copy
I believe it's caused by modified touchwiz launcher such as the 5x6 format instead of the stock 4x4 format.
No idea how to fix other than going back to the stock config'd launcher.
As there don't seem to be any dev projects getting anywhere soon for the EU version.
Would it be possible to remove Sense for this phone and install a new launcher over the top (Apex or similar) (I am aware that I can just install a launcher, but I don't have the space on my phone, and I find it creates a very slow phone adding new layers)
So essentially make it senseless and completely mod my phone front end.

I got rid of most of the sense stuff but you do need to be careful... best thing to do is to use either root toolbox pro or titanium backup to freeze each app individually then if theres no problem you can delete them from your phone.. only problem I had was that on the original software all the stuff i deleted just reinstalled when the phone reset... but using deodexed version of eu gave me more freedom...
another problem can be that some launchers wont work when you convert them to system apps...
