Multiple incidences of unwanted icons and widgets

Just had reply from Lenovo community forum that this has become an issue to users following their recent system update!
Disappointingly they hadn’t announced any issue, just waiting for users to complain!
Thanks for your reply, appreciated

googlefonts / noto-emoji - Can they be used in the App design?

Yes, you can use the fonts in your app. You will need to include the copyright notice and license text as noted at https://github.com/notofonts/noto-fonts/blob/main/LICENSE. I've seen a lot of app developers include an "Open Source" section under their "About" menu which just lists out the open-source components (like fonts and libraries) which they're using along with the relevant license details.

Thanks! Good Info.

How to change aspect ratio of screen

If you're wondering how to change the aspect ratio of your screen, this article will help you find the answer. Sometimes, a source device has an option to automatically adjust the image size. This can be a cable box, DVD & Blu Ray Player, or an older gaming system. Regardless of the source device, there are several ways to adjust the aspect ratio. To get started, first open the Display option in Proclaim's settings menu.

Aspect ratio, or the proportion between the height and width of a screen, describes the way an image appears on a computer screen. In other words, a higher aspect ratio means a wider screen. For example, if you have a 16:9 aspect ratio, you will be able to view an image with better quality. To change the aspect ratio of your screen, simply right-click the display's resolution and choose a preset aspect ratio.

You can also change the aspect ratio of YouTube videos. The aspect ratio settings on YouTube allow you to change the aspect ratio of a video to any of the following: 16:9, 9:16, 4:1, or 3:4. Changing the aspect ratio of your video player allows you to view the content in a way that looks better on your screen. Changing the aspect ratio will also fix any black bars that appear on the sides of your screen.

Some video sources are only available in 16:9 format. For example, HD cable movies have 16:9 aspect ratio. These sources will have bars on the top and bottom. To change the aspect ratio of a movie, right-click the video and choose the Details tab. You can then change the aspect ratio of the movie while preserving the original picture. However, this isn't as straightforward as it sounds. For best results, consider the video source you're using and choose the option you prefer.

Help To remove Google feed from home screen

Hi,

I have written at length, and often, after starting to come to terms with my new A8 tablet. I thank all who have kindly responded with advice and information; I am now over the initial teething troubles and enjoying the rather different features of thus tablet.

I hope I won't need to bother you all again, but it is good know you are there and willing to helpi

Thanks very much

A friend is needed to support Paid Apk security.

There are likely reasons as to why this APK file is locked down so your efforts to 'hack' into it are in question.
Also, wording like 'recompile' and 'cloning' don't even apply to APK files so there's a basic definition issue here too. It would make everything more clear if you instead avoid using 'techie' words you've ran across and just state in what you are actually trying to do and why.

Help Titanium Backup and Dropbox

I am a licensed user of Titanium Backup (TB), am running V8.4.0.2 on my rooted Android device (which is running Android 10), and TB has run well for years - the only ‘issue’ being that the ‘Sync to Dropbox’ would never run as a scheduled task and I have had to run it manually.

However, when I recently tried to run ‘Sync to Dropbox’, it didn’t work. Based on some looking around, I found that ‘Erase the access token’ was the recommended fix. I did this, tried again, and had to login into Dropbox (and I do have the Dropbox app on my phone). Logging in was not an issue, seeing the files on Dropbox works just fine, but when I tried to run ‘Sync to Dropbox’, I see the message ‘Sorry, failed to obtain Dropbox access’.

I have asked Titanium Track LLC this question twice, but have not heard back from them. What on earth should I try?

Identify this icon

Comic Sans actually makes me giggle at the things it's used on.

Just last week a new brand of back seat kits we got in for installing onto golf cars had its entire user guide in Comic Sans. It's the hilariously out of place use that makes it the most hated font since Papyrus (and made immortal as satire in two in-game characters in Undertale)

But that 'modern font' is so hard to read, atrocious and is EVERYWHERE yet nobody hates it.

Decisions, Decisions

I decided to go with the moto G stylus 5G. For what and what the stylus and edge plus are very similar, in screen size, battery. I really couldn't see a lot of different in the two. Yes if you want to get technical there are definitely differences.
My main reason for the stylus was it came with a stylus. With the edge plus it was an extra $80 for a stylus and case set.
My second reason was the price. I figure better to spend $400 on something I may or may not like, than $900. So far I like the stylus.
The stylus that did come with mine, only lasted a few days :( The rubber part kept falling part :( such a tiny little thing too. I was not too happy with the case after only lasting a few years though... :( Rubber..

SD card stopped working on Android device

I got a Galaxy S5 that actually destroys any SD card you place into it. I probably went through 3 before I discovered that. They'd all say 'SD CARD CORRUPT' (when they read fine in another device) and try formatting it just sits at 'formatting SD Card' forever. Take it out of the S5, try to use it in say a PC, it doesn't even know it's there. Any other phone just acts like it's not there either. Won't detect or read anymore. I stopped using SD cards in the S5 for that reason. Never figured out what caused it though.

Many modern Android phones will display a notification saying 'there's a problem with your SD card' and it sets it to read-only. This usually happens because the write-limit has been reached for the SD Card. They have a finite set of writes before they won't allow you to add any more, even if storage is available. That's why I don't trust SSDs in PCs. I doubt highly any SSD will outlive that Western Digital Caviar 80GB that's still working on my HP Pavilion PC from 2003.

(Samsung) What is this "sideways heart" icon?

we get this question almost on a daily basis. and most of these kind of questions go unanswered with only members posting their best guess as to what it is.

you see there are millions of heart notification icons out for android. so unless it is a popular one, you will only get guesses from us. most heart icons are not dating apps. most have to do with health or fitness.

truly the best way to know is just ask the person who's phone this is on or somehow get a hold of the phone and look in the notifications to find out what it is. but i know that for some people this is not an option.

looking for an ip cam config program

i have a security system and 8 dvr cameras and 8 foscam ip cameras. and these all work on my nvr and there dvr. i have the tinycam app on my phone and can see the cameras good at home or away. but i also have a bunch of ip cameras the i can see only on my phone if i use there app and there default UN and PW plus the default ports.

what i need to find is a security program for my pc that will let me not only see these other cameras but also let me get into them and change the defaults setting to the settings i need to use.

i was able to do that with the foscam ip cameras but i used there program for that, but the foscam program will not see these other ip cameras.

so does anyone happen to know of a ip camera program that will see any ip camera and let you get into there settings to change the defaults to what i need?
