What To Do: To Fix The Problem Of “Unfortunately, TouchWiz Home has stopped” On Your Samsung Galaxy Device
Samsung has been facing a lot of complaints about their TouchWiz Home launcher which has been slowing down their devices. The TouchWiz Home tends to lag and is not very responsive.
A common issue that happens with the TouchWiz Home Launcher is what is known as force stop error. When you get the force stop error, you will get a message that “Unfortunately, TouchWiz Home has stopped.” If this happens, your device hangs and you’re going to need to restart it.
The simplest solution to get rid force stop error and the other issues is to get rid of TouchWiz and just find and use another launcher from the Google Play Store, but if you do that you will lose the stock touch, feel and look of your Samsung device.
