Disable Google search bar where? on the recent apps menu or home screen?
Home Screen: Change launcher
Recent apps: use a custom rom that lets you disable it (e.g. Chroma)

Action 3 launcher or Nova launcher will do it, there is a setting in Action 3 that if you want to keep Google Now screen you can to that.....

How to remove the google search bar from launcher ?
You can't from the stock one. Maybe try using a different launcher.

Apex Launcher and Nova launcher are both great replacements that allow you to remove it. remember that you can't use the quick view and circles widgets when using a non-stock launcher though

I was able to get rid of it. But you cannot use that space although it's removed.
Sent from my phone.
go into your apps. settings then apps then click on all, click on google search and then click disable. It will remove the bar from the stock launcher, and the reason why you cant use that space if you drag and drop a icon to your homescreen youll see the outline of your homescreen the amount of space they give you to use and your unable to use that space with search bar gone. thats the reason i use apex launcher.
This thread is for anyone who have questions on touchwiz and hopefully we can offer answers.
I know we can swipe up or down to get in the app drawer. But is there a way to customize that swipe feature? Can I swipe down to access my status bar and notifications?

You just need to update your Touchwiz Launcher and long press on the homescreen -> settings -> swipe to open notification panel. I'll attach what I think is one of, if not the, latest versions available. Just download it and install it, or go google it yourself if you prefer to.

I don't really know why it's not available. I remember reading somewhere about this feature and I just searched for the apk in apkmirror last week.
Also, somebody uploaded an apk here in xda which enables black navbar color option in navbar settings. (Sorry, I can't remember in which thread it was/who uploaded it) I'll attach it here in case you or anybody else wants a black navigation bar.
DON'T INSTALL APK's FROM UNTRUSTED SOURCES!
Trusted APK's can be found on APKMirror!
I've been looking through the settings on my Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus for days, but I cannot find a way to REMOVE GOOGLE SEARCH BAR from all pages of my homescreen. Please help me to get rid of it! Long-press on it has no effect like regular widgets so can't drag and drop it.

Do you have a custom rom or another launcher ? Long-press on empty place and go to settings ( mostly)

It's the stock interface that came with the phone. Long press on the search bar does not select it. Long press anywhere on the wallpaper opens the widgets, wallpaper and settings, but what further? I cannot find the option to turn it off in the settings either. I can't believe it's so hard.
Hi all,
What is the best launcher to install ?
The two things I want are to be able to hide apps, and to have to swipe up to access app drawer as opposed to having an icon for it.
I have tried a couple but the p20 original launcher always ends up taking over. Or with the Lawn launcher for some reason I could add the time/weather widget.
Thanks
Try Ruthless pixel launcher from XDA labs. (If it crashes go to settings and enable storage permission; Bug with pixel launchers on huawei phones)

Cheers, can you remove the Google search bar at bottom screen or is that there all the time? If so I'll download later!

Silly questions then.
I can't find in the settings:
Get rid of Google assistant on home page, and hide the useless apps in the app drawer I don't want to see?
Cheers!

It's right there in dock settings. "Bottom search bar" Disable the feed in the bottom of "At a glance" settings.
To hide apps simply long press, edit and tick hide app icon.

On the at a glance I only have the attached. And long pressing an app only gives me app info or some generic options?
Long press the homescreen to access settings. You sure you got the right app?

I have now, cheers! Does the date at the top pick up the weather when it syncs or will I need to download a new widget for date and weather in one?
Also how do you go about downloading different icon packs that will work with the launcher ?
Thanks for your help
Nova, Evie...there are many out there but these are my favorites. Huawei widgets don't seem to work on any custom launcher.
Evie Launcher has been my favorite for a really long time and matches both of your requirements. Plus, the ability to change Icon pack not only by pack but also one by one is a big plus. Smooth, clean and minimalistic and has a couple of cool features.

For me the best launcher which i always go back to is LawnChair and it's Google feed add-on.
It's a lot like the Pixel launcher but has a lot more settings.
Icon size, theming, weather provider, gestures, app hiding etc.
It's rapid too and fluid, and it's free
Make sure the launcher is set as the default one, if the 2nd launcher in use crashes then the only thing the system can do is revert back, if you're using lawnchair, use the latest version.
I have it installed and mine never reverts back.
Another way would be if you were rooted you could freeze the original launcher in titanium.
CPL wins hands down.

Late to the party
Most customizable. No contest
Total launcher.

Steep learning curve though
Long time on my previous phones I used Nova and Apex launcher. For 2 years now I am using Microsoft Launcher which supports icon notifications for free and I must say I'm still returning to it. I tried Evie launcher on my P20 Pro but for some reason it consumed the battery a lot. Microsoft launcher does not consume battery at all (always like 1 mAh <), its fast and stable, modern looking but different compared to "stock android looking" launchers.

I use Nova Launcher, as it gives me everything I need. If you have problems with reverting to the stock launcher you can try to lock the new launcher in resent
See this screen recording to know how
keeps on recovery from crashing all the time, ive changed the permissions as stated above as well
I use Nova, bought the prime when it was on sale awhile back for $0.50
Nova forever,
On my Pixel 5 the behaviour with third party launchers (tried Nova and Microsoft) is terrible. If I swipe up to go home then often the launcher has to seemingly redraw/refresh before I can do anything. If I use three button nav there is no issue. It's annoying as I hate being stuck with the search bar and 'at a glance' weather in the standard launcher, but much prefer gesture nav.
Is this a common thing or anyone got any ideas to fix?

You are welcome to try this if all you want is "at a glance weather" and search bar gone on standard launcher. However, you cannot use the space vacated by the weather. This is as high as you can go.
If you root your device, I'd suggest using the 3 button navigation, then remove it using Tusladiver's mod and then using FNG navigation, its customizable and a lot better then google's implementation I think.
Using Nova launcher, I noticed if I chose another animation, under "Look and feel", then "app animation" the blank refresh went away. I just chose zoom.
EDIT: It started again. But, not as much

Clock Mods - Remove Navbar or Battery etc. Mods
I don't have this phone but I thought I'd try a couple of clock options if someone is interested in trying them. Root required. Flash in magisk manager. Most of these are SystemUI mods and might not be compatible with any other SystemUI Mods...

I love microsoft launcher. I had the same issue with the redraw. I set it to only a single row on the nav bar and it seems to have to figure it. It's almost like the launcher was fighting with the OS for swipe up control.
