I wasnt sure where i'd put this, but since it's a qeustion i'll put it here, Okay so, when i look at the permission's of both Apex and Nova, they both want the permission to call? or atleast the permission info says it can call paid numbers, what does it need this for.

is there anyway to remove this samsung touchui and just have basic android launcher?
Member for 3 years and over 500 posts and you need this kind of question answered?
Install a different launcher, press the home button and set the new one as default. If you want to completely remove TouchWiz, freeze/uninstall the related system APKs afterwards.
A search for "AOSP launcher" on the market returned a theme for ADW launcher.
maybe i should have wrote a little more as to what i was fishing for.
I basically wanted to know if anyone had a list of all the apks that samsung touchui used that could safely be removed rather than just disable or install a seperate launcher.
thanks for the reply i will continue my search.

Create a custom rom based on the Stock GS2 Rom and remove the std TochWizUI.

Removing APKs won't magically give you a replacement launcher. TouchWiz isn't sitting on top of another one. If you remove it, you'll need a replacement regardless.
It sounds to me like you'd be better with an AOSP ROM rather than Samsung ROM if you're looking for a "pure" experience. But if you do want to stay stock, see Applications Safe To Remove, which has a spreadsheet showing what most of the APKs are and which are okay to remove. Remember though, if you remove the Samsung custom elements, you're going to need replacements.
Excellent, this is what i was looking for. Cheers
The zeam launcher is pretty nice, except when i hit the n button and hit home, it doesnt go back to the zeam launcher. I am about to root a nook for a friend who almost took it back because she couldnt do anything on it, so i offered to root it for her. Im trying to make it as easy to use as possible, and i dont like the idea of her having to search everytime to get back to the zeam launcher. Whats a better launcher that has less steps to use? thanks
1) Questions go in the Q&A forum.
2) Assuming you're taking about the stock OS (you didn't say), that is not an issue with the launcher. It sounds like you need to install Homecatcher (you'll need to search).

If you want to make it as easy to use as possible, put CM7 on it.
The amount of workaround stuff you have to do with the stock OS to be able to do more stuff is overwhelming for a lot of people.
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section

Zeam launcher can only run after the device is rooter.
You can install Homecatcher, which intercepts the home button and gives you an option to go to the default Nook launcher, or an alternate launcher.
I prefer and use Go Launcher, creating a shortcut for the default Nook ebook reader app.
I tried it out last night. I deleted it. Don't like it at all
What about GO Launcher?
Hey all,
I have recently installed ADW Launcher EX in order to set my tablet up using the Hubs philosophy. Looks great so far, but the one thing I did like was the favorites shortcut in the status bar on the stock sony launcher. I would like to add it somewhere, but it won't let me add it, probably because it is some kind of hidden system app.
Does anyone know how to add these hidden system apps to homescreens or wherever without need root access or a custom rom?

Without some serious dev work, it looks to me like this is not possible. It seems to be a part of the stock launcher from what I can tell. You might be able to write a non-launchable app that just launches the Favourites, but that would only work if they had any public Intents built-in.
Not too sure, since I'm at work and can't check right now, but thats just my thoughts.
Thanks,
I had thought as much. I actually don't mind the sony stock launcher, just wish I could create shortcuts that can jump to certain screens like in ADW launcher. I'm sure if I rooted, I could find some way to access that applications independently, but I don't really want to go that route with my tablet. My phone was enough lol
Hi! I look for information on the Internet but did not find much about it.
It is possible to put ads in a theme for Go Launcher Ex?. For example AdMob?. Someone made the test?.
I don't know if this is the right place for the post!.
Thanks!
if you want to see the theme GO Launcher EX you can go to his theme Play Google there are numerous and include sya've tried it
No, I want to know is if I can put advertising in my themes for Go Launcher.
I have 3 pages of blank space for icons that I will never use. How do I delete them? I would appreciate any help.
I did look for this problem and did a search in the forum, so sorry if this has already been addressed and I didn't see it.
Never used stock touchwiz launcher but I use holo or nova, apex, most all launchers will allow you to choose how many screens you want under launcher settings.
mods feel free to delete this thread. I figured out the problem on my own.
Thank you.
