Remove Touchwiz

---

Is there any way to remove touchwiz without screwing up my captivate? Last time I tried I was getting all kinds of force closes. I am currently using launcher pro.

it's built-in to the firmware. Really can't get rid of it. Only thing you can do is just use launcher pro.

no one has found a way yet short of building an AOSP ROM, sorry

I figured as much. This phone rocks rooted with the super root lag fix mod. It's going to be sick when we get a custom rom and or froyo update for it!

Launcher Pro is okay, Id definitely recommend ADW Launcher which has had a ton of development work done already and even works perfectly with my Captivate.

On top of that there are alot of themes that can install on top of it if you'd like


Search for "ADW.Launcher" on the market.

its baked into the firmware and I would miss some of the touchwiz features, mainly:
- toggles in the notification panel
- swipe right on contact to call/left on contact to message

If you default launcherpro or another launcher as default, the touchwiz launcher never loads - so no big deal...

And this is under development because.....

Removing TW from the ROM is most definitely a dev issue.
