How do I put the TouchWiz icon on my apps screen?

I need to be able to change from one launcher to another without deleting the launcher I downloaded to that I can go back to the default TouchWiz launcher. Can someone help me please? Thank you.

Which launcher (other than Touch-Wiz) are you using?
 
There's a few ways you can switch back & forth between launchers,depending on launcher(s) used.
For now,not knowing which launcher you have (other than Touch-Wiz) you can use an app from the Google Play Store such as this one here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twsitedapps.homemanager&hl=en
There's a bunch to choose from,I chose this one in particular because I trust the developer,well known for his app Wallpaper Wizardrii

I myself use the launcher Holo Launcher HD & HTC's Blinkfeed (HTC SENSE Launcher).
Holo has a function for shortcuts & I created one to switch w/a double-tap to launch gesture & tap the Home button to get back to the other.
If you'd like to go this route,I'd be more than happy to assist you in setting it up,if need be.

Oh,& BTW:

I will be using GO Launcher.
 
The app I mentioned should work,by placing the shortcut on each launcher home screen,as directed by the app.
In the meantime,I'll load up GO Launcher on my phone & see if it has the ability to create a shortcut to Touch-Wiz/2nd Launcher.
BRB.....
 
OK,I installed GO Launcher & while you can create shortcuts of various natures,it seems it doesn't have that ability w/the Touch-Wiz launcher.
I could be mistaken on this,but,I've tried several angles/methods & I can't create a shortcut to Touch-Wiz with GO Launcher.
Just a sidenote:
I uninstalled GO Launcher & yet it has left a spot/icon in my app drawer on my other launchers,as if it's installed,& I can't get rid of it.
I'm currently wiping my cache partition & hopefully won't need to reset my phone to rid it of all traces of GO Launcher.
I'd heard that GO has become somewhat of an obtrusive app (too many unnecessary permissions),in a nutshell,malware that installs 3rd party apps w/o your permission,or,knowledge,among other undesireable things.


JMHO,I'd kick GO Launcher to the curb,but if you're gonna stick w/it,this app here is a more clear-cut launcher switcher than the one I suggested earlier:
