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 have a (rooted) P7-L10 running the latest update (2.3). I am unable to enable lockscreen widgets through Settings: Security as there is no such option available. Consequently, I am unable to install any lockscreen widgets. In fact, the only lockscreen option is the Huawei Unlock with no additional lockscreen pages, and no '+' sign to add any widgets, etc.
Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated as I am extremely interested in using DashClock (especially with DashNotifier).
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I just checked and when the option should appear if the "Huawei Unlock" method is used. The option doesn't appear if you use something else (at least not on my phone).
Where does the option to enable lockscreen widgets appear for you when Huawei Unlock is selected? I have it enabled as well, and cannot find te option anywhere.

just under, in the "security" panel. I wish I could post pictures but I ****ed up by deleting the systemui.apk and I'm waiting for someone to upload his so I could fix my phone.
Thank you for your replies. I guess it is just somehow missing from my system as there is no such option in the security panel no matter what unlocking option I choose.
If you or anyone else knows how I can get the option back, it would be greatly appreciated.

Use an other theme. For exemple, I use paper rhyme and I have this option. But you can't have widget as default, you have to switch everytime on lockscreen :/
It is probably caused by Nova Launcher which I am really like and do not want to give up.
Any way, I have moved on to Plan B, and installed KK Locker, which is working out really well.
Thank you both for trying to help...

I am using Nova Launcher and Widgets in the lock screen are working. Are you using the right procedure? After enabling in the Setting > Security > thick, in home screen swipe DOWN until you see a padlock icon at the bottom THEN swipe to left or right and you can add the Widget!
That's the whole problem Sergiopi; there is no 'Enable Lockscreen WIdgets" option in my Security settings panel for me to check.
I get the exact lock sign you mentioned in my main lockscreen only after I install and use KK Locker. Otherwise, no widget option and no lock upon swipe down.
Thank you!

Thank you Nomaro; that was it. The stupid 'Balance' theme disables lockscreen widgets and forces its own "Magazine Lock' on the lockscreen. I changed the theme as you suggested, and voila! the option to enable widgets showed up.
Thank all those who tried to help.
glad you got it working!
now a little question about widgets:
can one of you tell me how to remove the main widget (the clock) or use another widget as the "main page" for the lock screen? I can't find anything working on the internet as everything I found just tells we to "click" it and delete it by swiping up like for a widget on the home screen, except it doesn't work.
help please ^^
I had/have the same problem. I figured out that I need to change theme of lockscreen, but no widgets seem to be working, anyways, only those of system apps.
Is there any way to remove the white search bar on my device? I am searching the web but the only answers i can find is change launchee or disable every google service... My device is rooted so if there is anything alse advice me please
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)

I just got the note 5 use to have the S5. My question is on the S5 there was a way to hide icons so the apps icon couldn't be seen on the top right corner there were 3 little dots that you clicked on and selected hide apps the clicked on the apps you wanted to hide then done and now no one could see the app icons you hid. Is there a way or an app that will allow you to hide you app icons? I may have posted this in the wrong place if so please move to proper section. Thanks.
do you mean in the app drawer? there are third-party launchers that allow you to hide apps from showing in your app drawer. I don't use TouchWiz, so idk.

Yeah it was easy to hide your app icons in your app drawer before but now that I got this as a bday gift I don't see a way of doing that. What app is there that I can use that allows me to hide my app icons from my app drawer?
since the old CM ROM days on earlier HTC devices, I've been stuck loving ADW launcher. there's just some settings in it that keeps me sticking with it. I find most ppl to like the style of other launchers though.

You can just disable the apps that you don't want to see. I'm assuming if you don't want to see the apps then you won't be using them anyways? If you disable an app the icon will go away. You can always re-enable the apps at any time if needed.
You could also create a folder in the app drawer & throw all the apps you want to hide in there. Not really hiding the app icons but they'll be somewhat out of the way if there's a bunch you to want to remove. Better than nothing if you don't find a solution.

I downloaded Nova launcher prime cause the free version didn't let you hide the icons in your app drawer. It's not that I don't use the programs I want to hide it's that I don't want everyone else seeing what programs I have like the kids. Thanks for the help. Wish it was like it was before and not that you have to download a program now to get some features back.

is there a way to do this on stock launcher
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.
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.
