So, you have your brand new
Epic 4G, but maybe you’re not so fussy about TouchWiz. *Well, you’re in luck, because you can actually disable it if you so desire. *This process also works on the Samsung Fascinate, but not on the Captivate or Vibrant. *Just follow the steps outlined below, and you’re all set!
Instructions
This process works on TouchWiz 2.5 devices. It will work on the stock Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint or Samsung Fascinate for Verizon, but it will not work on the Samsung Captivate for AT&T or the Samsung Vibrant for T-Mobile.

- Scroll down and click ?Applications?
- Click on the ?Manage Applications? button
- Press the ?Menu? button, click ?Filter?
- Press ?All?
- Scroll almost all the way down to ?TwLauncher? and click it
- Under ?Launch by default? press ?Clear defaults?
- Now, click your Home button
- Choosing ?Home? instead of ?TwLauncher? will bring you to the Vanilla Android launcher and homescreens. You can click on ?Use by default for this action.?
