Samsung Galaxy: Remove TouchWiz - Here's how

This guide shows you how to remove the Samsung TouchWiz surface from your Galaxy smartphone.

Switch TouchWiz to simple mode

• If the design is too complicated and overloaded for you, you can activate the simple user mode.
• To do this, go to the settings and select the "Home screen mode" item under "My device". The icons are already bigger, less overloaded and easier to understand.

Load custom ROM
