Everything you mention above is plain wrong. With all due respect, but you clearly don't know what you are talking about or you are just misleading, because you have financial interest as someone who makes dough by providing avenues for corrupt businesses to monetize users data. The latter would also explain your animosity and name calling.

I don't even know where to begin: Chromium for Android? LOL, there is no such thing yet apart from some rudimentary work being done by good developers. But even if there were, why should I trust Google who is a known evil here. By the way, the same applies to Selinux: why let the bank robbers guard the bank?

"it is not more insecure than using standard libraries" So, let's have another malware vehicle on our system, because it is not more insecure than standard libraries? What a perverted logic even if this was true (which it is not). My point stands: why have another layer (webview) with virtually no benefit to the user and a huge additional exposure to spying by known big corporations in cahoots with known 3 letter agencies; and also a bunch of hacker-criminals?

Facebook: if you are using facebook's internal app, then you shouldn't be concerned about security at all. You have already been exposed... So, sit back, relax and see your privacy gone... But again, you probably have nothing to hide, so, why not have cameras in your toilet? LOL...

"Advising them to uninstall webview updates" Plainly wrong. I am not advising to get rid of webview app only, I am advising get rid of the entire webview by also deleting two lib files I have mentioned. In my roms, I remove the entire chromium/webview project before compiling, which by the way reduces the building time by a few hours.

Apple: I never said Apple had anything to do with implementing webview on Android, but Google used their webview to implement its own...

Trip advise/Wikipedia mantra: none of those require webview, you can access them via a separate third party browser which sits in data partition, as opposed to system, which is the proper and secure way to implement. Even if you take over remotely such a browser, you wouldn't be able to take over the system (because of permissions).

What do I have against system apps? A lot: a good starting point would be to examine their permissions: they all require internet, while in my book, only web browser, e-mail client and messaging apps should have internet access security wise and for the battery sake. But unlike yourself, I don't throw conundrums because I may be related to the industry that makes dough by stealing users data...

Examining firefox. It is not difficult, especially if you use the full text search. I have recently removed several curious IP addresses from lollipop and kitkat sources: those IPs included Google, Level 3 Communication, US Department of Defense, as well a a few German sites. So, don't tell me about examining the code. Try it yourself...

K9mail is an obscure app? LOL. You sound just like another advertising hack who hates their junk being exposed.

Best regards...
[Xperia Z1 General] DeKubus:
Again, blunt assumptions with no proof. None of your arguments below proves anything I said wrong.

My animosity roots in the fact that you are giving bad advice that may possibly harm other people. I did not call you anything, so your name-calling accusation is just that - a hollow accusation.

I would very much like to start the name calling now: this one proves you are a troll. I actually gave you the link to the compile and install instructions for the Chromium WebView. Yet still you claim there is no such thing. By the way, if you don't trust Google you should not use Android devices. And please, tell me what to use as an alternative to SELinux. All the Linux distros (including Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSUSE) and their developers are of course much less knowledgeable than you for using it.

In my last post I gave you an example why a shared component is much less dangerous than libraries compiled into each app. Read again.

And there we go again - your usage patterns are the way to go, heh?

So, you are disallowing users to decide which apps they want to use? Great, if the people using your ROM think that this is ok then it is fine by me. But saying that the WebView is a danger to the system just because it exists is not correct. The WebView itself does not reside in the memory all the time. Oh and besides - I know it is a typo, but it is still funny that you say you remove Chromium from your ROMs when just a few sentences earlier you said there is no Chromium on Android.

That is wrong. If it is not, I would be very glad if you'd provide a source for your claims.

That isn't even remotely true. Exploits don't work that way. If permissions would shield you 100%, we wouldn't need security fixes. Refer to the towel root exploit, which might have been able to do ANYTHING to your system. It was installed as a regular app. It does not matter where an app is installed (aside from the fact that a regular user can't uninstall system apps).

That's great, but not how modern phones work. Live with it or buy a feature phone.

"Conundrums". Well, call it what you will. I will not sit still watching you give ill, potentially harmful advice to others. Ant the last part is, again, just an assumption by you.

If you think full text search is what helps you secure apps we just lost the entire basis for this discussion.

Of course it is an obscure app. You have to take into account the sheer amount of client devices out there, and 150k downloads isn't exactly what I would call a mainstream client.

Sigh. I really hope this thread gets deleted soon.
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
I have provided plenty of proof that you are wrong and most likely biased. And by the way your hope that this thread will be deleted proves further that you are just another advertising hack who is scared for his dough derived from stealing users' data.

The Chromium link you provided is NOT a web browser, but rather a proof of concept to have a Chromium shell, as opposed to Chromium full browser.

Name calling: I never do it first, I was responding to you calling me egomaniac. Isn't that name calling? Yes, it is.

Regarding trolling, Mr. Troll: I have to re-state: trolls don't make roms and get 1000+ thank yous on XDA. Those, who call names, hope that threads exposing malignant spying/malware producing industry would be deleted, and those who "contribute" to XDA by reporting threads they don't like ARE.

Now, the same advise to you: move one hack, as this is the last time I am talking to you.

Best regards...

People calm down!

If I'm not wrong this thread is about memory leak in lollipop, which is still present for some people like myself :(

Maybe try to help other users, how to fix this ultra annoying bug. Instead of arguing with each other...

But that's only my advice, peace :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Rebel2k:
Agreed! My phone is barely usable since I upgraded. Memory stays around 400 MB free, but many apps are killed even in foreground and listening to podcast is now nearly impossible because constantly killed...
[Xperia Z1 General] yoorie016:
We'll for my device, not rooted and no bloatware unsintalled, my memory runs at 500+ MB with 600+ MB remaining. But still my phone is usable, fast and smooth. maybe it's my own preferences for apps and how i use it so i got that kind of smooth experience.
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
5.1 is here in couple days ! lets hope it fixes something !
[Xperia Z1 General] Rebel2k:
that's going to be more than a couple of days. At least two months from last news...
[Xperia Z1 General] adamkx7xdesire:
Maybe the .270 update will already fix that bug? I'm waiting for an update of custom roms... BTW I've tested latest version of CM12.1 and it's working 2 days of heavy multitasking and there where no signs of memory leak! So this is definitely software problem! Shame on you Sony&Google!

[Xperia Z1 General] dnraphael:
I disabled only the bloatware, activated decreased performance on stamina settings and I'm quite satisfied. no lag. just a little bit slower.

I get ~500mb free ram.
[Xperia Z1 General] adamkx7xdesire:
You've just ruined my hope :( but I'm still waiting for RockZL 2.1 to see if 270 base made any difference...
[Xperia Z1 General] Rebel2k:
Yes me too. Couldn't we just root and change lmk values back to what they were in KK?
[Xperia Z1 General] jcsy:
I'm also experiencing this, hugely with what's app.

Stock LL 5.0.2 | Root |
[Xperia Z1 General] grievous2004:
270 solved it

I had huge issues on .242: launcher and most apps always restarting. The phone was awfully slow and laggy.

So I updated to .270 (clean install) and I'm pretty satisfied with my phone now. Sometimes I can see apps restarting but it's not affecting the overall performance. Most of the apps are rock solid (whatsapp, nova launcher, fb messenger, tasker, fb, keyboard, wear and many more had 0 restarts in over 24 hours). I'm even using xposed along many modules and the phone is really smooth.

For those still facing issues I would suggest 2 things:

- Clean install .270 using a prerooted rom (or create yourself with prf creator)

- Do not install a custom kernel: try to stick to the stock kernel. I had several issues using Doomlord kernel or other ones (I'm not the only user on xda claiming this): even without editing any settings, my phone becomes unstable and experiences lags of 30+ seconds like [MENTION=1475525]jcsy[/MENTION]. This time I'm sticking with the stock kernel and everything is just working as expected.

I hope these can help you: they surely did help me and I am no longer willing to throw my phone against a wall :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 General] jcsy:
so the solution might be in .270, correct?

I'm currently running build 242, and its annoying as hell

Home does restart once a while, and whats app is a huge obvious red target saying

"I'm laggipop"
[Xperia Z1 General] grievous2004:
After more usage I can tell you that it's not completely fixed but it's so much better than the 242 build. I'm still experiencing problems with chrome and other browsers: though I have 500 - 600 MB of free ram, it will start killing apps as soon as I open more than one tab in chrome. It's still annoying but a leap forward. I hope they will solve this issue sooner or later
[Xperia Z1 General] DrMuhammadElHanafy:
Thanks a lot for these valuable information.
[Xperia Z1 General] goztepe:
I have a rooted z1 and after freezing that webwiew component, I am happy to see that my phone runs smoother than before and ads annoy less at the moment. thanks for sharing. I have checked almost all the apps installed and all seems to work properly without it
[Xperia Z1 General] DarkDomi:
I removed webview entirely from my system and half of my apps didn't function properly (adobe reader, wifi login etc.) so I reflashed my rom back.
[Xperia Z1 General] IgorEisberg:
Removing an integral system component because of a feeling that it's spying on you in order to push you advertisements is not what's called "a good advice", it's called paranoia, for which you need medicine, not the software. I've been using my Xperia Z1 for 2.5 years now without any issues. WebView never gave me any unexpected behavior, nor forced me to view any ads. The ads are pushed by app developers, if you have complains, you can express them to these developers. The WebView component allows web content of any kind to be displayed in apps - mandatory especially for apps that are actually webpages loaded into the app activity (usually have a parallel "app" for iOS that does the same). Google has separated the WebView component from the framework especially to update it with abilities and security patches, so sketchy app developers won't exploit old bugs in order to get access to your private data.
[Xperia Z1 General] Celestial Fury:
Android System WebView is hardly an integral system component. I now have it disabled and Acrobat Reader works fine - why would it not? Think of it as an internal browser (what do you think is the need or purpose of a limited internal browser?) and compare it with a hardened external browser like Orfox where you can send all web requests to - which would you prefer? Any security updates or other bug fixes for System WebView will only be for System WebView and if you don't have it in your system or if it's disabled and not in use then you won't have those bugs in the first place - makes sense?

So, thanks to [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION] for bringing this to attention. :good:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uscool:
Hi, i been using sim free s6 edge 64gb for 2 weeks now, i have moved from the HTC M8 it still runs same as the fast day i received it

always been worried about slowdown over time with samsung from past experiences, it still loads apps fast hope this continues , i actually like touchwiz look and menus

but i do get slight lags and stutters, for an example i have bbc news app as a widget when scrolling through the widget its not very smooth, on my htc m8 its smooth, once in the app its smooth

also when on flip board then scroll right to get back into homescreen then another right scroll to get bbc new widget, it wont let me scroll, i have to always give it a second go for it to scroll, when disable flipboard its fine

another thing i noticed, when looking at the edge for time, news etc and flipping it over then going back into home screen, the phone will always re draw homescreen ,

i know these are little things, but they do bother me as this is such a high spec phone and alot of money, i have used in the past HTC M7 and M8 and they run super smooth and they still do,

i have in past used galaxy s2, s3 ,s4 note 3 all had same issues, i was hoping samsung would have sorted this now but guess not, dont get me wrong the phone is great, rapid charging, takes great pictures, fingerprint works so well, its faster then using a PIN / Pattern , the M9 i know will run super smooth, but it didnt excite me coming from HTC M8

Thanks
