Android apps shoule work across all devises

I'm always slightly surprised how how wide a range of devices most apps will work on. But there's more to device compatibility than just the android version, I'm afraid, and different behaviour on different systems may be the price of them working at all if they are running different versions of Android, or have wildly different display parameters or other hardware differences. Unfortunately there's not much you can do apart from contact the developer.

Personally I'm more often annoyed by apps that type to work the same on all devices: far too many Android apps try to run the same on a tablet as on a phone, which at best makes poor use of the screen, at worst may make them unusable.

The recent apps screen

Why on Earth not? It's fine to use. Especially with apps I barely use.
What's the gain? And if it's an app you barely use you can swipe that away individually, so "clear all" is only for removing all apps, including those you do use (and hence will waste energy reloading). It's an essentially pointless feature.

Anyway this is a system feature, I don't know of any alternative app. And it's the same in Android 10 and 11, so I'd not hold out any hope for it changing. Maybe just swipe fast to scroll to the end of the list (I can traverse to the end in a single swipe on my phone). That's the only suggestion I have really.

Launcher suggestions

I don't understand your issue with trying to change individual icons in Nova?

I have been able to change almost everything with Nova.
I haven't found a Launcher that can do more in terms of editing and customisation.

In my screenshot, I have numerous different app icons from different icon sets, and have edited the dock so no menu button appears, the notification panel and navigation bar are hidden.
I operate this using gestures 👍👌☝️👍👇✊🤲

Help Change the way an alarm is dismissed

Up until yesterday, when the clock alarm "dismiss" button appears from a locked screen, a simple tap on the button stopped the alarm, the same as it would if the device was unlocked and the "dismiss" link that appears at the top of the screen was dispatched with a single tap.

Now, I must press on the button and maintain the pressure as I swipe up to get task done. Some times it takes multiple attempts to be successful.

I had a system update yesterday, and I didn't experience the change until after the update, so perhaps it is connected to that?

Yeh, it could be something Samsung changed with the update. If you can change it back, I don't know as I don't have this phone.

Help LEDs are on but not responding to force restart

ok a couple of things. first off, your phone is over 4 years old now. phones tend to have a shelf life of about 3-4 years so you are right on that threshold. once you past that the phone will start to have issues. this is mainly due to the battery, but others things will start to happen. the phone could slow down, apps will not work anymore, or your system partitions could get corrupted.......which sounds like is what happened.

secondly, you should never run the battery completely dry like that. anything under 5% should be immediately put on the charger. so you can't get into recovery mode any more? if you can you can do a factory reset and see if it will boot after that. if not then you most likely have a corrupted partition and will need to flash a firmware update. hopefully you can get to download mode. if you can then you can try using odin to flash the firmware update.

Root lg

first off welcome to AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
second this is an english only site
third i translated your post for you using google translate:
Hello everyone
Could you help me to root my lg k10 2017
thank you in advance

and forth LG phones are notoriously known for their locked bootloaders. always look to https://forum.xda-developers.com/ for all things root related. xda is a developers forum where the devs will post all of their goodies including ways to root various phones. your phone unfrotunately has a locked bootloader and it does not seem to have been unlocked yet.

here are some threads you can follow:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/help/lg-k10-2017-lg-m250-7-0-root-method-t3578650
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/guide-bootloader-unlock-t3662742
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/finally-root-lg-k10-2017-m250-t3935581 (this thread is to be able to use root related apps only)

Can you check if an email is registered to a site without it saining an email to that address?

Normies don't think like that. You and I are geeks, we wouldn't be here otherwise, but I can't even talk people into encrypting their mail. They're so proud to have learned how to click the clicky thing or touch the touchy thing that they're perfectly okay with telling strangers their innermost secrets.

You're confusing me with someone that generally knows what they're talking about, but thanks! :D

Favorites Tray - auto add app?

IMG_20201024_091518.png
My wife and I both have the Pixel 4a with the most recent updates. This morning my wife started noticing that everytime she opened an app it pops up in the favorites Tray to the far left and stays there until she opens another app. Then that one takes over the spot. She has tried to move it and it just adds that same app to her home screen. It also has a glow around it. Anyone know how to bypass this? Thankfully mine isn't doing it.
