How to change default homepage.

Does anybody have a clue how to do it.

If you are talking about the default TouchWiz homescreen you can pinch (zoom out) on one of the homescreens. This will show all your homescreens like tiles. You can do the same thing with Menu > Edit. Then you can rearrange them by holding and dragging them where you want. The first homescreen (top left) is the default.
If you mean in the browser (assuming default browser) Menu > Settings > Set home page

Yes, I'm aware of that.
What I meant was making screen no. 4 as my default homescreen.
In that case I will always start in the middle of the background.

screen 4 is not too different from screen 1. If you swipe left form screen 1, you arrive at screen 7. Only the wallpaper moves in a strange way.

doesnt solve his issue of wanting to be in the middle of a background though

3rd party launchers can do that, i suppose. Go Launcher EX has that option

yes it has - also launcher pro

This means wallpapers and especially live wallpapers are off center and it's annoying. Some launchers allow you to set the Page you want as home. But is there a way to do it in touchwiz?

Example of what? A different launcher?
There are hundreds. Nova is probably the most popular though.

Tap longer on your Homescreen. Now you can see a menu to set wallpaper, widgets...
Tap and hold your homescreen which you want and move it.
Other launcher for example nova launcher.

A few questions for my new Pixel 3

So far so good on my new toy but have a few questions.
1. App drawer (it was a button that had some dots and I would click it and it would bring up the app drawer. How can I get that back?
2. The google search on the bottom of the screen, is there a way to remove that?
3. The date and time on the home screen is there a way to remove that so I can put my WTForcast widget that has the date and time?
That's all for now.

1) The Pixel Launcher doesn't have the circle icon to launch the drawer. Just swipe up from the bottom of the screen to launch it. There are 4 apps that sit at the bottom that are "pinned" to the dock. Swiping up from there will show all apps. If you want the center icon back you would need to use a different launcher.
2) I don't believe it can be removed from Pixel Launcher. Again, a custom launcher would allow you to move/remove it.
3) You guessed it... Pixel Launcher. A different launcher would allow you to customize much better.
Nova is a very popular launcher that can be highly customized. I believe it is a paid app, there are many options available both free and paid though.

Thanks I think I paid for that a long time ago. Just rooted it only bad thing is to bad I can get rid of that message saying my bootloader is locked on reboots but oh well I guess I never really reboot anyway.

You might be best using a new launcher like Nova where you can remove the search bar and move things around etc

Android 10 Launcher

So it took me a while to get used to Android 10 but i quite like the gestures now like the swipe in from the side for back and swipe up anywhere on home screen for the apps, but I dont like......
1) the google search bar - want to remove it
2) the date & temperature- want to remove it
3) When the keyboard is visible the height of the bar at the bottom of the screen for the 3 control buttons is massive, even when I change to gestures and just get a line there is still this huge empty space
I have tried nova and evie and I do like all the customisations, reminds me of the custom rom i had on my old phones, but I found I couldnt do everything I wanted.
If i get nova prime can I do everything I want?
Thanks

One UI Home launcher - Gesture to launch Sesame shortcuts?

I know this isn't specifically related to the Fold2, but given its unique two-screen implementation, I'm trying to stay away from Nova Launcher and stick to the stock One UI home launcher, as it permits different setups on each of the screens which I think is key.
Anyway, I've relied so heavily on Nova Launcher for little things like two-finger swipe down to trigger a Sesame search (e.g. launch any app without having in on a home screen), I'm having a hard time replicating some of this.
Right now, I'm having to put a Sesame widget on each screen, but has anyone found a Gesture App that will enable my to do a two-finger swipe down to trigger an app launch (e.g. Sesame) with the stock One UI launcher?
Yes, I know I can swipe up from the bottom to get to the app drawer and then do a search, but that's more clicks because you have to click on the field for the app search, whereas with sesame you click on the widget and it's right in the text search box with the keyboard ready (little things...!)
Otherwise I'm still on the learning curve of One UI home since I've literally never used it across S7, S10+, S20+ ugh....

I use FNG https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid and have a swipe up from the side of the phone trigger sesame.
You can set it up really any way you want i just prefer having the gesture similar to getting access to the app drawer.

Thanks, not quite what I want, and I guess you need the Pro version to pick a specific app...but appreciate it nonetheless.

Answering my own question...this doesn't quite meet the requirement in terms of it being a two-finger swipe down gesture, but Samsung's own *free* One-Hand Operation + allows you to assign any app to a single-finger swipe in from left or right (yes, it conflicts with gestures from one side but I always swipe back on the right anyway). Confirmed working with Sesame - yay!
