You also have not reported a camera issue. My reply was not directed at you.
As for your questions:
1) Swipe up on home screen works fine. Make sure "Search" app is not disabled, and that "Swipe up on the Home screen to open search" (in Home screen & Recents settings) and "Swipe up" (in Search settings) are both enabled.
2) And it will never be full. No one manages a Russian translation for EU ROM, so we use Russian translation from Global ROM. We have some exclusive features that will probably never have a Russian translation, unless someone wants to consistently manage a Russian translation repository.
