I installed Nova Launcher (free). Seems to offer 99% of the Touchwiz features, plus a lot more. It is certainly faster as well. Got rid of the ridiculous my magazine activation (upswipe/home button).

You do not need root for it, and for the most part, it will look/feel the same.

Temporary work around for my personal Note 3. Still waiting for a response from Samsung support.
