Root touch wiz uninstall

Can't totally get rid of TouchWiz unless you root the phone and flash a different rom, but you can install a different launcher from the PlayStore.
 
I put on Google launcher but my home screen is huge and only a few icons how can I get my screens back to how they were before darn touch wiz ??
Also just asking would resetting my galaxy s5 get rid of touch wiz?? Would I loose my att phone number etc ? Please reply
Thank you

I am so confuse.. Are you trying to get normal touchwiz back and your icons, just uninstall the launcher from the phone your icons should come back or re place them (the icons) to your screen
 
You can not un-install touchwiz, resetting the phone will not do that, nor will it delete your phone number. If you don't like touchwiz, then download either "Apex Launcher" or "Nova Launcher" from the play store and use one of them, and customize it to your hearts content...
 
Or as fishenfool stated, you can root the device and install cm or aosp etc.. this will completely remove touchwiz, but you also lose out on the features touchwiz offers like your fingerprint scan etc..
 
Go to www.get.cm and click on installer. This will remove touchwiz and replace your whole system with pure android 4.4.4 @gracep2011

You keep your number. Sim won't be affected. Just different apps for SMS etc. I bought my Samsung and put get.cm on it on the first day as touchwiz hurt so bad ;)
 
You can just install a launcher over TouchWiz and set the Launcher as default. There are tons of them available these days and it won't void your warranty like rooting it will. Plus, you can always try multiple launchers until you find one with an interface you like, and since most of them are free, there's no downside. You could start with something like Nova, I'm using Buzz Launcher now because they have tons of different Homepacks (the graphical part of the launvher) that other people have designed and are free to use. You can basically change the look of your screen every day for 30 years and never use the same one twice. TouchWiz will still be there, it just won't be visible.
