I'm going to be using a launcher instead of touchwiz. Is there anything that can go wrong by freezing touchwiz?

No need to freeze or uninstall touchwiz launcher.
Just find a launcher you like (or more than one launcher)
and each time the phone goes to home screen it will
ask which launcher to use.
Once you find your favorite launcher and the phone asks
you which to open, checkmark the little square where it
says "use as default".
After doing that the phone will launch what every laucher
you selected to be default each and every time unless you
change the default in settings (Application manager)
Good luck!

Wouldn't touchwiz waste more battery coupled with another launcher
No. It does not become active while another launcher is being used.

How do i make my second screen out of 3 the default screen. For some reason it keeps going to the last one...
What launcher are you using? With ADW or LauncherPro its in the settings.

touchwiz, what i mean is when you edit the home screens of the 7 you can edit, it always pulls the last screen as the default, and if theres more than 4 it pulls the 4th.
There's a thread for this already. It's set that way by default. Can't change it. Use a different launcher

I don't think it can be customized with TW. Use ADW and you'll get a lot more options than just which screen is the default.
Hi guys,
i have been using default tab home and i want to try other wonderful homes like go launcher and launcher pro.
Could you tell me what do i need to do in order to replace home and once i install new home does it mean it would overwrite my existing home and i would not be able to revert it back to tab default home. Do i need to root my device?

download launcher pro from market
also try ADW launcher
No, you don't need root.
When you dowload it from the Marketplace, the next time you hit your home key your phone will throw up a list of all the installed Launcher/Home applications asking you to choose which one you want to use. At the bottom will be a checkbox asking if you want to "always" use the application you choose.
If you check the always box and later become unsatisfied with that launcher and want to go back to the old one, you can either download something like "Home Switcher" from the Marketplace, or go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications and find your current launcher (the one you last chose to "always" use). Click on the clear defaults button on its page and next time you hit home you'll be presented with the choices again.
Thanks a lot for such a nice reply. I am starting with launcher pro now. Do you have any preferred list of homes?

Panda home is an interesting one to try.
I use ADW Ex myself. I have not used Launcher Pro in months, and never on the tab so I can't speak to its stability or usefulness, but both ADW and Ex have been very good to me on the tab (I like the added features and snappiness of the paid version).
trying out Zeam right now, seems simple and clean. like the swipe to launch feature
For anybody looking for function rather than form, try *Spark. Its in the market

Hello all, this is my first post here.
I have a simple question: is it possible to modify the number of screens in honeycomb ?
Thanks in advance for your replies

dont think so... I wish
Use ADW Launcher EX! Blows the stock launcher out of the water and you can set that too. And it's smooooooth and fast too.

When you install ADW launcher and press on "home" a box should appear in the center of the screen saying whether you want to launch "Launcher" or "ADW Launcher EX"... select the Always do this and ADW Launcher EX.
If you want to reset it: go into settings -> applications -> manage applications -> find adw launcher ex -> clear defaults
Under "Launch by Default", ADW says "no defaults set". Do I have to reinstall? When I hit the "home" button, the TF takes me to the stock launcher.
EDIT: reinstalled, same problem.
EDIT: Found "Launcher" under the "All" tab and cleared that. Fixed.

Download home switcher (or similar) from the market and you can easily switch between launchers.

I have LauncherPro,ADW and Preinstalled Launchers on my S4. Every time I restart my phone if asks me which Launcher I want to use and I pick one and Click "always" but I still have to choose again with each restart. Any ideas?
Thanks
Go into settings application tab and set the main launcher you want to default. (i clear the cache in the launcher app also)
I think it is a bug though, I notice it happens over and over with certain launchers. You have to play with it for a few, it will go away.
Good luck.

If you have root, freeze all but the launcher you want to use with Titanium Backup. If you want to change back to that launcher, thaw it out.

Thanks I had not thought about that.
Since installing latest Google search app, my gs4 clears the launcher defaults every like 10mins. When I press the home button it asked me if I want to choose the easy mod launcher or regular launcher. Despite I always choose to have the regular launcher as always, ten minutes later it ask me again which I wanna choose.
Is anyone having the same kind of issue?
