Opera browser matched well in my old low-end tab, it has options of fonts and the tablet view may do a difference. What version of android are you using so in developer options some devices allow to use Chrome instead of Android System Webview as WebView implementation, this option adjust the global setting and improves significant visual changes. I usually use Chrome instead.

It looks like is not the best DPI setting for the size of your tablet, You could need root in order to change DPI and also combining with display size you will get better well scaled.

It also depends on the rom that you are using so for me for eg. in AOSP roms my choice is 340 DPI (original 320) meanwhile for Miui roms I use 540 (original 480) I mean that more affordable options ever you can find changing that by rooting, same thing it happens with display size (smallest width), there is an app that maybe more levels to adjust this option, download an app like MiAppa (there are others for sure) and go to Vision Settings/Display Size.

Sliding into the option by tapping on the notification from e-mail instead of go directly to the app then it has to dismiss it, I don´t think that notification warns about unread mails but only incoming ones but if you don´t want notification at all then disable it directly from email app.

I think i may need some more easy to understand instructions. I' not sure what twrp is and even when i looked it up, seeing the words still does't mean much to me unfortunately. I'm not sure how to wipe the cache either. If you can reword this, then that would be a great help. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Regarding my screen size problem, here are the screenshots now i can attach them.

My Acer Iconia B1-7A0 (Android 7.0) is fine. If you change the font and display size to small, that changes everything in chrome too and makes the paragraph neat and tidy. On my Lenovo Tab4 8 Plus (android 7.1.1 since update when I got it), there is only a font size option in settings. Even when setting that to small, the size of the text in most places does shrink but still looks far bigger than on a PC monitor with a full HD resolution for example. Given it is a smaller screen, I expect the text to be the same or smaller. You can tell quite easily how bad my Lenovo is with this. I'm unsure how to root things. I just don't know much about this stuff.

About the e-mail notifications, I'm still wanting to see that I've had an email on the bar on the screen, but I just want to figure out a way to disable all apps from using the notification light at all. I just fine it a real distraction as I've never had a device with this before. I only am wanting it as a charging indicator. From what I'm aware, this light does keep flashing unless i read the email or go to the app that needs updating. the need to do this to stop it flashing is a bit tedious if I'm honest. Especially when I know i have an email but I just don't want to read it just yet. Another poster did say there should be a way to turn it off for this but I can't yet figure out how. I even downloaded an app and allowed it to access the tablets settings. And that had an option in it to disable the indicator light for gmail. But disabling that made no difference either. Strange.

To popularize it long years ago Miui was developed and also ported for a lot of devices, this firstly was possible due to Miui released sources, now most of sources are closed as any other OEMs and the things drastically changed.

The thread within you are requesting to OP is possible the best documented.

Here there is other not much explanatory but you won´t find much of it https://xdaforums.com/android/general/miui-10-porting-easy-mt6753-35-t3827555

Do an in-depth search "how to port Miui for newer mtk devices" not for your exact model.
[General Questions and Answers] ItzYeho:
Alright, here goes.

So one day I was interested in flashing a new custom ROM (Preferably LineageOS) to my Huawei Mate 10 Lite. Long story short, it's now soft bricked. Only TWRP is working.

But, that's not enough information. Here's the fully story.

After realizing I could not get the Bootloader unlock code using the official method, I've tried DCUnlocker. I paid, and got my code.

I've installed HiSuite, 274829 drivers and finally unlocked the Bootloader. Now, the phone said "This device is unlocked and can't be trusted", but it booted fine. YES!

After that, I downloaded LineageOS 15.1 and flashed it. Before flashing it, I formatted everything, wiped cashe, davlick ect... And.. made my biggest mistake.

Not making a nandroid backup (dammit).

Don't ask me why, I thought it would go well (ugh).

Anyways, I flashed it, error 7. Alright, removed the assert lines. Flashed it again, and it worked, but right at the end, another error? It was error 7, again, but a little different.

This time, it said "failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor at /vendor: device or resource busy"

Okay, now I'm starting to get worried. Like, REALLY WORRIED.

It also said it failed to execute a line in the updater script, one of the last lines. But I would not delete it, just in case.

When I tried to boot, nothing. Went back to Google.

At this point, I learned that any Treble ROM will NOT work with Android version of 7.1. shhhiiii

I was on EMUI 5.1 aka 7.0, and this was worrying. At this point, I tried to return to EMUI 5.1, but since there was no backup, well...... To Google we go!

I did not find any stock room that running EMUI 5.1, but only found EMUI 8.0. I did find a stock room on 7.1, but I'm not paying 15 dollars for it. Not about that life.

I tried the dload method, but apparently my sdcard is on FAT32, and because of that I cannot upload the UPDATE.APP to it.

I've also tried eRecovery, but to no avail. "Failed to get package".

So now I'm stuck on a couple of options, and I need help from you, the XDA community.

1) Remove the line that's causing the issue but at the cost of it maybe not working

2) Somehow format the sdcard and somehow upload the update.app to it

3) Somehow update Android's system to Project Treble, although not sure it's possible since there is no OS.

4) ?????????????????

Please, help me. I'm in hell right now.

[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I've now taken 2 screenshots of the settings i have changed. A picture of my notification light settings and gmail settings. I assume "label notifications" in gmail should mean just the icon on the screen and not the light flashing. Then in Notification light options in settings, i have "unread e-mails" set to off. But it continuously flashes as soon as i get an email until i read it on the tablet. Even if i read it on my PC, my tablet doesn't realise that so i have to read it there on my tablet too to stop the light flashing. According to settings, it looks like it shouldn't be on at all. When I'm busy browsing or doing other things, that light flashing is such a distraction. I almost feel like putting some tape over it. But it to me seems like the options to have it off are not doing what they should.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
From what I've been reading about your model of Lenovo tablet and the LED notifications, it may not have any kind of built-in settings or options to disable notifications.

There are models of your tablet that have a cellular module that allows activating the tablet on a cellular network, the models that have cellular capability have additional settings for the LED notifications, the non-cellular versions do not have these additional settings.

You're not going to find an on-board option to disable LED. You're probably going to have to root the device and then use root to remove/delete/modify some system files to disable the LED.

Or use an app such as the one linked below.

https://www.guidingtech.com/23212/customize-disable-led-notifications-android/
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Hmm, I'm quite surprised by this. But it would explain why multiple options of disabling the light on the tablet just haven't worked. But viewing it in the dark when it constandly flashes is so distracting and i don't always want to read an e-mail every 5 minutes which is often how quickly i get them at times. I tried downloading this app in the link. As soon as it is downloaded, it seems the tablet doesn't respond to anything done in the app. Also, the light flashes the whole time once i downloaded this app. I rebooted the tablet, but it flashes all the time despite me not having any notifications anywhere. When I disabled the app, it stopped flashing but still has the problem with gmail. Skype had an option inside the app to disable the light from pulsating when getting messages. And that worked. Are there not some advanced gmail options to do this? I have found that in settings for android with the notifications for apps, you can disable notifications fully for gmail. That stops the light but also means i get no icon or anything to let me know i have a message. I would be so happy if I could have an option to just have that icon to tell me i have an email. All my previous tablets were like that. Given what I paid for this, it is disapointing you can't disable the light for everything. But I tought that as you can disable it for skype, why can't I fine a way to do the same for gmail. For example, I just get pop up messages in skype now, no light.

I wouldn't want to risk rooting the device because of risk of warranty issues. If someone could possible explain the prosess of using this app that was suggested to me to disable the light altogeather, that would be great. Or some other app.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don´t know if you ckecked the options in Settings/Manage apps, (not inside settings of Gmail app) I know my rom is different than yours and it offers many options regarding this. You could search an "Advanced Permission Manager" app from Google Play in case that they´re not present in LenovoUI. I used it in the past with older version of android when the apps took all permissions without requesting user.

I use only Gmail for all my accounts, not two mail services, I have disabled or uninstalled the mail app that came by default, I say this just in the case other app is invited to the party.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I did try this I think yes. I went in to setup, notifications and disabled them for gmail. Turning the option for the light off makes no difference. But turning notifications off totally stops me getting the icon and light. That is a step too far. I'm currently coping with it by putting some black PVC tape over the light which may have to be my long term solution if there is no other way.

I'm getting on OK with firefox and the font size. The annoying thing is that it doesn't remember when I request the desktop site for each website. For example, the box is ticked on each website I have selected to run the desktop version, but every time i revisit it, i must un tick it and tick it again to get it to go back to the desktop site again. Even when i switch apps, then go back to my browser, it goes back to the mobile page until i untick the box and tick it again. Must be an issue here. anyway, the text is still much smaller than chrome so is more useable for me.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
In the research that I did about your device, putting tape over the LED was exactly what everyone with your device has done to solve this issue. I've seen nothing that offers any other solution. Your device just wasn't built with any options to turn off what you don't want, it isn't an "issue", it's the way the device was made. Blame lenovo for doing a crappy job with the software and UI.

Rooting the device and then modifying some system files is the only way you'll ever truly get the results you want. Or maybe modifying your stock firmware file to modify whatever controls the LED notifications, then flashing the modified firmware on the device.

Firefix has never kept the "request desktop site" as persistent for sites that you've visited. It has always required unticking then re-ticking the request desktop site option. It isn't an "issue", it's how it works. But you can make the suggestion to the Firefox developers to make it remember which sites you use the desktop site on so that each time you visit the site it opens in desktop view.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
OK, thanks for the information about the font size. I think I will be able to get used to it how it it now anyway. It is a shame about the light. I'm hoping the PVC tape won't leave any residue if i ever end up taking it off. It sure does get warm when it is charging. I guess it is just because it charges so quickly. My USB metre says it charges at nearly 3A at 6V when the screen is on full brightness.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I have never looked into this myself but I just found a way to permanently enable desktop view in Firefox for android. Tap the menu button in Firefox, find the "add-ons" option, then search for "Phony", install the add-on, it's an add-on for Firefox that will enable you to always view in desktop mode.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I downloaded one called "phone to desktop" Is that right? it is installed. I haven't noticed the difference yet. The app still requires me to untick the box and tick it again each time. is there something i need to enable?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, phone to desktop is for using your PC to manage things on the phone.

I looked for the "Phony" add-on but didn't see it, maybe it isn't supported anymore.

Try this

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1114055

I can confirm that this works, I tested it.

I've never needed this in a permanent manner but at least I learned something in the process.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Some of this looks like it out of date but thanks for the advice anyway. I don't always need desktop view and at least i can select it when i do.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Lol, it isn't out of date. I did exactly what it said in that link and I can confirm that firefox always opens in desktop site. It doesn't make a lot of sense for you to ask for a way to do this then turn down the confirmed, working solution when it is provided.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Well, apologies for this. What made me think that "some" of this was out of date is that a good deal of the comments are from several years ago and include some old android versions. It also made me think it only works with certain versions or something as i looked up "Desktop by Default" in Firefox addons and that addon doesn't appear (on my version) just like phony didn't. Out of date is maybe the wrong way to describe it. But as I'm not seeing it, i assumed it was perhaps not fully supported any more. Similar to phony not being visible.

I said I didn't always need desktop view because i probably can tolerate it like it is, but yes, I would much appreciate it if I can get something that enables it to be like this the whole time. It just seems that in my case, I can't find a way to install or see this addon. Now I read ofer what I put, it does make it look like i abrely looked into what you said, sorry for that. Should have worded it differently as i did try several things out. I guessed it worked for some and not others.

I can tell that you have taken a lot of time to try to find a solution for this and my other questions, so I thank you for that. I just would like to figure out a different way of fetching this addon.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The link I gave you isn't for installing an add-on, it's instructions to to open the Firefox Config page, then inserting instructions so that whenever Firefox opens, it opens in desktop view.

Open the link I gave you and follow the instructions. It is a simple thing to set up, open a new tab in firefox, then type "about:config" in the firefox search bar, press enter.

Then tap the + symbol at the top left, you'll see a pop-up, on the line that says "name", enter this:

general.useragent.override

Then tap where it says "boolean", then select "string"

Then, on the line that says "enter a string", enter this:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0

Then tap "create" and you're done, then it will always load desktop view when using Firefox.

I can provide screenshots of each step if needed.

As you have a custom ROM (and thus presumably rooted) the first step beyond basic troubleshooting is to check your device (rom) thread for similar issues. If no hits reload the ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Right, I have tried this now. It did seem easy enough to find. When I went into about:config, I think I have done as you said. I've attached a screenshot. I've tried restarting my browser and tablet. It still is the case of disabling and enabling desktop view every time. I've probably done something wrong somewhere. Maybe I'm missing something after I've added it that I need to do.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I see that you've got the about:config, but the screenshot that you provided doesn't show where you entered the information that you need to enter.

I'll explain this step by step again.

In the screenshot that you provided, there is a big + symbol at the top left of the page, tap that and you'll get a pop-up at the top of the screen.

In that pop-up, you'll see a line that says "name", on that line, enter this text:

general.useragent.override

Then, on the right side of the pop-up, you'll see where it says "boolean", tap that and a list of 3 options will pop-up, select the option that says "string".

Then, on the line below where you entered "general.useragent.override", you'll see where it says "Enter a string", on that line, enter this text( this line is one continuous line, there is a space between the ) and Gecko)

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0

It should look like this:

https://imgur.com/Ub8f6wE

Once you have the information entered correctly to match the screenshot I've provided, tap "create" at the bottom right and you're done. You can close the tab after you tap create, then try loading a page and see if it loads the desktop view or the mobile view.

If this explanation isn't simple enough for you, click the link below and actually READ the WHOLE thing several times until you understand it.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1114055
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I took a screenshot in the same place, doing the same thing that was shown in yours (I think). I then pressed create. Closed the about:config tab. Went on to one of my usual sites and it still seemed to be the mobile view. Requested the desktop site then it scaled everything. Closed that page down and opened it again and it went back to the mobile view. From what it says in the other page you sent me, I can tell now that it is telling me to do the same that you have told me. I'm just not sure why it isn't working for me.

I have tried following these steps several times as I'm often not that good at following instructions like this. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. I will maybe try it on another of my tablets to see if i have any luck.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The link said something about if you're too slow, it will clear out and you'll have to do it again.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I made sure I was quick this time but still have had no luck. Is it ok to copy and paste the link or do i need to type it out? I'm just wondering if copying and pasting it is the problem.

Edit. I will aslo see if someone else i know can follow these steps and get it to work in case I'm missing something.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I copied and pasted when I did it, I had no problem. I don't know what issue you're having, I did exactly as the instructions are written in the link, it went flawless.

You must be making a user error somewhere or something else that you did trying to solve this before isn't playing nice or something. What user error or what isn't playing nice? I have no idea.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Well, when it first didn't work, i tried to find "general.useragent.override" on the config page. I then pressed reset which removed it. I then started again by creating it as the instructions say, but i'm just not having any luck with it. I've done that so many times now that I guess i may have messed something up. Maybe it is worth me setting firefox to default and starting all over again. But I don't think I did anything different since the first time i tried this and that unfortunately wasn't successful.

Not sure if this is used....

Hi, my phone has been unable to be rooted for quite a while (Verizon Pixel 1), in fact I have never had a rootable device (Verizon sucks), so I have never had the chance to learn any of the programs used to grant SU permissions. But today, i was trying to do something that requires root, so i looked to see if there was a method, and there finally is one, which is technically good, but i have encountered the problem that the guide post isn't very beginner-friendly (probably because its a niche issue now). So, how do i learn:

- what to even download adb-wise, because every place i look to download, is somewhat of a different set or even type of files

- how to follow this tutorial without building up an intermediate level of knowledge on all of these utilities

and possibly

- how to find the same tutorial combined with general first time usage instruction (for the utilities)

if thats a better path.

Im not impatient, but right now my phone is without a SIM card and reset with an unknown (to me) command run through it that im not sure can be reset normally.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Starting the process without understanding what you are doing first is never a good idea.

For ADB download the platform tools only. You won't need anything else.

The tutorial is probably (? no link for it) pretty straightforward. Just follow the instructions. Rooting Pixel devices is super easy (except for the Verizon models which you have already figured out).

General first time usage instructions? Not sure what you mean, but setting it up will be the same as stock. Unlocking your bootloadere will wipe everthing, and you will have to set up your phone like you had to do when you first bought it. There will be nothing different.
