Interactive Phone, People, Email & Calendar Icons on JB?

Recently for some unrelated reasons, I had to do a complete wipe/reset of my phone.
Until then, I had been running ICS. Since I had to reload anyway, I went with the stock JB load.
Something I immediately noticed was that the Phone, People, & Calendar icons/shortcuts no longer appear to be interactive? Just simple shortcuts.
For example, on ICS, the Phone & People icons in the launcher had up/down swipe actions (see the up/down triangles). The Calendar and Email shortcuts had the same ability.
Now on JB, they're just basic icons/shortcuts. I've looked through all the settings and don't think I'm missing anything. Is this something that was just dropped by Motorola/Google on JB?

Ok, so apparently this feature is called "Quick View" and was disabled by Motorola in all Jelly Bean ROMs. Several people with the Atrix were also complaining about it missing.
It wasn't "removed", but disabled from what I understand. The component for it seems is still present in the ROM (see below).
Any ideas on how to re-enable it? I'm not coming up with much discussion scouring the net.

[Q] Can't connect to my carrier network

Hi everyone,
I've got a weird problem with my Nexus 5.
A couple days ago I flash Android L preview, everything was Ok. Yesterday I wanna go back to Paranoid Android (my rom), so I wipe my phone, I had a couple of problems, but I resolve all of them. And everything was ok.
In the evening I change my favorite network type to 2G, after that my N5 wasn't to join my carrier network.
This morning I flash the factory image that I grab from Google website. That change nothing...
I don't know what to do...
Here is informations displayed in fastboot :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is the "Network Settings" menu :
The "Preferred network type" selector (I never see one like that before) :
Thanks for your help, if you need more information ask (I know adb and fastboot).
AMDG2

From your screenshots it looks like the preferred network type was set to something that is not one of the default options. That selector in your last screenshot is the stock Android selector. Just choose LTE and it should get you connected again.

Cannot select 4G Network mode

My Huawei P8 - Android 6.0 used to be set to use 4G network, it was set in automatic mode 4g/3g/2g
something like this, if I remember correctly: "Preferred network mode 4G/3G/2G"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
For a test, I switched it in 3G mode, so now the setting is "Preferred network mode 3G/2G":
Now the problem is that in network mode selection, I have no option "4G/3G/2G". only "3G/2G auto" - "3G only" - "2G only"
How to revert to 4G mode? I read around that I can use Settings > Backup & reset > Network settings reset , but according to this link, it resets too many things
Here my phone infos
I assume this is a just a bug in the user interface, not showing the desired network mode
Is there a way to work around it, maybe manually editing some configuration file? or even better some hidden setting screen that I can use?
I'm on a rooted device and can use Adb (not an expert, but I can use it somehow)
Originally posted on Huawei P8 forum, I post it here as well since a possible solution will likely be not strictly related to P8

Change programmatically “Hide the status bar” setting in Accesibility on Settings App

Note: I apologize for putting this here and not in Development section but due to my post count I cannot put it there.
Hello guys,
I have not found this on Internet and thought that maybe someone here can give me a hand. I need to change programmatically the setting called "Hide the status bar" located in Accesibility inside the Android's Settings app on Android Marshmallow (6.0). Next you can see it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have searched in Android's source code, specifically in the android.provider.Settings class but have found nothing regarding it. I have also searched android.googlesource.com site via Google for the text "Hide the status bar" to see if maybe it was on some Strings file and see where it could be used.
Does someone know how to change this programmatically?
EDIT:
I cannot use the following solution in my kiosk app:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
That, because the core app is not an Adobe AIR app, therefore you do not have access to the onCreate method of it's activity. I would have to add ANR which is much more work in comparison to changing programatically the mentioned parameter.

Rom Wishlist

rom wishlist:
- active-edge squeeze support and customization (open any app)
- status bar slide gesture to control brightness
- nav-bar button customizations/gestures
(long press back to kill app; double-tap home to open app; long-press home to clear all notifications)
- changing the number of rows/columns in the quick-setting tiles
- battery level bar across statusbar
- pure AMOLED black theme
This is what I want for Christmas. It's the birthday of Jesus. C'mon!

i think you are asking in the wrong spot. its best to find a rom you like or has some of those features and then ask the developers to add them. As a maintainer we dont really add features unless they are already baked in. (unless its unofficial). But as i just broke my oneplus 7 pro and im back on my sargo, i am intrested to see what roms are wished for since ill be doing a bring up for sargo now
