Currently, device detection does two things:

1. Disables TinyMCE
2. Hides the "Portfolio -> Export" navigation tab

There is also code in htdocs/lib/web.php, in the smarty() function,
which looks at the results of device detection and puts them into some
Smarty template variables. But since 15.10, we no longer actually read
those Smarty variables, at least not in any of the core themes.

1. $HANDHELD_DEVICE
2. $MOBILE
3. $DROPDOWNMENU (to disable dropdown menus; in 15.10 we show them anyway)

Title:
  Do we still need device detection?

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Mahara 15.10 introduced Bootstrap. All themes are now responsive. When
  I tested the "Deactivate device detection" functionality, I couldn't
  see much of a difference when using the site. I did notice the content
  chooser was displayed the start of the words instead of only showing
  the icon on the "Edit page" screen.

  I wonder if we can remove the custom device detection. You can enable
  the user turning off device detection in Admin -> Config site -> User
  settings -> Users can disable device detection. That then happens on
  the account settings page.
