1) go to settings -> Language and input -> hit the gear next to Samsung keyboard and check Keyboard swipe.
2)I'm assuming your asking how to unlock or wake up the phone rather than get it to turn on from "off".
Settings -> Security -> lock screen options -> Set wake-up command

3) this one I don't know.

4) Settings -> Security -> lock screen options -> shortcuts


To get to settings, hit the menu button (left of home button) when your looking at any of your home screens.

Just a little more...

1) Where has Swype gone

If you follow GoldenDiamond's advice below and don't see it, go here:

2) How do you make the phone turn on by saying "Hi Galaxy"

This is a function of S Voice. Press the home button twice to activate it for the first time, then you can set it up.
