OP, I think you might’ve unintentionally messed up the code block. Can you clarify what you’re asking for?

Hello, I need help. Mathjax is not rendering on my cards and I stopped studying for alot of time. I have tried uninstalling and installing again, tried that code above and the database reset.

You don’t need to manually put any code for mathjax to work. Can you reset the templates (there’s a button in menu), create a new note and type this in:

```math
\(x^2\)

```

Show us a screenshot of what happens. This renders well in my app.

Have you read [Math & Symbols - Anki Manual](http://docs.ankiweb.net/math.html)? It seems to me you’re trying to use the wrong delimiters.

In Anki, always use `\(` and `)\` (in the editor, there’s an toolbar button for applying that).

Tried this myself with the correct syntax:

```math
\(P_{\mathrm{o}} = \frac{1}{f}\)

```

Here’s how it looks on AnkiDroid:

Tip: use `\dfrac` instead of `\frac` for bigger fractions. 1/f looks awfully small for me.
