I have the vibrant and wish I could do this. For people that try it, does it make the epic faster?

From what I understand about Android, this will not disable TouchWiz. What you are doing is simply changing the action of the home key. It will still be loaded into memory. It's a nice option, some people might prefer the stock android UI.

I believe installing 3rd party launchers like ADW.Launcher would do the same thing.

The mere fact that TW is not showing can be defined as disabled, no?

TW is just a skinned UI over the Android framework.

Correct, Android should automatically kill that UI after a while of no usage and no longer load it

Question??

I don't know much about TW but im sure some ROM's will surface with TW removed

I went ahead and tried it out. When I went to the stock interface, I found several widgets that I had deleted still there. I went ahead and "trashed" all the widgets on the default UI. Then I went back to using Samsung's interface. Don't know if that saved me any memory or not...but it sure sounded good at the moment.

Ps. don't mean to hijack the thread... it seems relevant I guess.
