CAF no longer updates the source so this project is in limbo. If CAF ever starts updating again, I will post new builds.

This is a Chromium Browser built on the CodeAurora source (optimized for Snapdragon devices).

Main changes from source:

-added extra webrefiner (adblock) lists

-changed icon / branding / colouring

Notes:

This browser has no Google Sync. See this link for more information: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...owsers-android-citing-security-vulnerability/

If you have root and want to have sync, see this link: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...-with-third-party-chrome-browsers-on-android/

Stable: m59

Changelog: https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src/log/?h=m59

Download: m59.0.3071.125

Beta: m60

Changelog: https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src/log/?h=m60

Download: m60.0.3112.78

Install Instructions:

Enable "Install from Unknown Sources"

Navigate to Settings -> Apps -> Chromium (or Chromium Beta) -> Permissions -> Enable any permissions required

I was maintaining this build for myself but I've had a lot of requests so decided to release it publicly. I will be posting new builds as CAF source gets updated, along with any branch changes.

I am not responsible for any damage this app may cause to your device!

Thanks to @danieldmm and @arter97 for help. :)

[Android Apps and Games] budbay:
Nice build, works well. Would it be possible to add duckduckgo as a search provider.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Yep, I'll add it in the next build. CAF should be promoting m58 to stable and m59 to beta in the next few days.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
m59 is out, build coming later today.
[Android Apps and Games] robalm:
Nice work.

Can you add fullscreen mode to your builds?

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71094848&postcount=62
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
As soon as I'm finished upgrading my build VM I'll give it a go (m59 requires 14.04).

2017-05-03

Updated m58 to Stable

Compiled m59 to Beta

Tonight I will try merging the fullscreen / DuckDuckGo patches and see what happens ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
I've updated the links for m58 and m59 with new builds, fixing a few things. I've added DuckDuckGo as an option for search engine, but could not get the fullscreen patch to work without it constantly crashing (the code seems to be for an older version of Chrome).

[Edit]: If you try and change the search engine through settings, you may get a crash, but when you go back into it again it should work the second time. Trying to isolate why this is happening.
[Android Apps and Games] budbay:

Nice work! Love using it, please keep going :)

[MENTION=2476899]lexcyn[/MENTION], your build is awesome. Faster than Tuga in every benchmark and rock solid. Is it very complicated to add the pie control the same way the venerable old AOSP vanilla browser did? There is an Xposed module for that, ChromePIE, but having it included in the browser code as an option would be awesome and fully compatible with Nougat. The sources are here: https://github.com/JayT5/ChromePie. It was originally ripped from the code of the AOSP browser.

Nice build!!!
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
I'm always up to try new things. I'll mess around with it and see if it's something that can work!
[Android Apps and Games] Oki:
AWESOME!!!

:highfive:

By the way, the sources of the original AOSP browser (deprecated by google after Jelly Bean) are here https://github.com/ShinyROM/android_platform_packages_apps_browser . The java class PieControl is located inside the src/com/android/browser folder. Also available from the Google Git. This could ease the implementation in your browser. It would be unique with this feature !!!!

The AOSP browser was my favorite, faster and lighter than Chrome. However changes in the webview made it incompatible with Lollipop.

Tons of changes (see changelog link in first post), uplevelled to m59.0.3071.49
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
2017-05-19

Merged latest patches as seen in source log. Not much going on here!

I looked into the pie controls but the code from the AOSP browser is REALLY old and some of the things it needs to run don't even exist any more... it would mean re-writing a lot of code for the newer V8 engine, which is beyond me sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] utkarsh102:
m58 link is not working
[Android Apps and Games] khnoizer:
It would be great if you also implement a function to disable images, so we can save more data :)
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Fixed!
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Updated first post with new build, m59.0.3071.60.

For some reason tapping on Search Engines still crashes the browser... trying to figure out what's going on. Could be my build environment but also could be the source.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Updated m58 / m59 with latest changes from source. Links are in the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Uploaded new m59 build, uplevelled to 59.0.3071.71.
[Android Apps and Games] AW14Saurabh:
One Question

May I ask a question:

Why is it or rather what makes it optimised for Snapdragon processors?
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
I believe the JavaScript engine is compiled using some snapdragon specific optimization code that allows it to run faster (correct me if I'm wrong anyone). If you visit the CAF website it kind of explains a bit but kind of vague.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
m59.0.3071.92 posted. Lots of crash fixes (hoping this fixes the crashes on certain pages).
[Android Apps and Games] Packsman:
I compiled m59 build from CAF source and had some touch sensitivity issues (Nexus 5x), on m58 all is fine. If you have similar problems with m59 please report.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
There seem to be issues with m59 branch. Waiting for m60 to see if that resolves any of the issues.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
New m59 build added. New version of WebRefiner (Adblock) was added via CAF.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
New updated m59 build - at this point I would just advise using m58 since there are so many unresolved issues with m59.

Or just wait until m60...
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
m60 branch is released, just fixing up my build environment to support it then will post an update.
[Android Apps and Games] wifestealer:
So m59 is stable to use?
[Android Apps and Games] Nevermindthelabel:
You can use it, but it's not stable. Something on the CAF side is broken and hopefully the m60 will fix it. M58 works great though
[Android Apps and Games] wifestealer:
Thanks but it seems stable to me.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Yeah I wouldn't suggest using m59 - no idea what is wrong. I am compiling m60 now and hopefully that fixes the random crashes...
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Updated first post with link to first m60 build version m60.0.3112.50. I will compile a new m59 build as well with latest changes to see if it fixes anything... but so far looks like m60 is better.
[Android Apps and Games] rusalibaba:
Hi Lexcyn and thanks for the great builds! Just wondering if possible to create a build for armv8?
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
armv8 isn't supported by CAF optimizations yet, it only works on armv7. I've tried compiling with V8 but it always fails.
[Android Apps and Games] theHari08:
Is m60 available?
[Android Apps and Games] Sytis:
It is, he just did not built it yet. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Tau628:
Love it! thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
M60 link is in the OP :)
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Updated both m60 and m59 with latest changes from source. I think m59 is finally stable... :)
[Android Apps and Games] ardas:
Thanks for great browser
[Android Apps and Games] kailasraj97:

[Android Apps and Games] InvalidDNA:
It's unfortunate to not having a Arm v8 device optimized builds.

Arm v8 devices are increasing from the past few years...:(
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Any extra features like this one are because CAF source isn't including them. You can always request these features from CodeAurora.
[Android Apps and Games] celestial19292:
I'm excited gonna try it!!
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Not sure what happened to CAF... Been quiet for over a month now with no new updates.
[Android Apps and Games] questionquince:
My default browser. Me likey.
[Android Apps and Games] dimqua:
Could you please to apply Inox patchset and/or Iridium patches? These patches are improve privacy even further and would be good addition to the "Web Defender" and "Secure Connect" tools, provided by CAF.

There are also CopperheadOS's patches, if you are interested.
[Android Apps and Games] spinning_quirK:
m59 has a working night mode. It's a keeper.
[Android Apps and Games] Paz9:
Curious if still being developed
[Android Apps and Games] Nevermindthelabel:
CAF has stopped updating for now unfortunately, kind of a holding pattern
[Android Apps and Games] beatschubser:
My Google activities show an app called "CS브라우저" multiple times per day. I wonder if this is related to Chromium SWE?
[Android Apps and Games] lexcyn:
Probably not - that is definitely nowhere in the package name.

Am I wrong or it looks like the CAF chromium git has some kind of recent activity?

Did Dutty uncover the hidden green burning laser app in the Kaiser yet?

:rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
the second one..lol.

word of advice, if you get one, NEVER i repeat..NEVER point your laser at your camera. i did it to my old SDA (with an even weaker laser) and it literally burned the camera. This is an old picture i found showing the burn marks, look at the pop can...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] twistkill:
haha..poor sda...thats machine abuse!

i was always inclined to buy a laser..the blue/red looks cooler

but i need to do some research..they say its more "burnable"

as for the kaiser camera capability lets wait till the video drivers emerge

maybe it will improve the speed and maybe..just maybe improve the pictur quality

*fingers crossed*
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] twistkill:
oooh oooh...

btw i had the same foldable clock/alarm u have in the background

(behind the beer can)

that is untill my drunk gf launched a badly aimed dart at it...

lol that is not sda abuse, not when youve seen my friend's sda. look at THIS!

-plastic broke off of both sides

-lots of super glue on both of the sides (from attempts of putting the plastic back on)

-plastic on the media player keys and T-zones key broke off

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llinasenc:
Hello,

I have a HTC One M8s that need to unlock for a friend of mine.

I understand that this model isn't fully compatible with HTC One M8, so where can I find a manual to unlock it?

Regards,

Alex.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You mean unlock the bootloader, or SIM unlock?

For bootloader unlock, just follow the process on HTCDev.com.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llinasenc:
I mean both, specially SIM unlock.

Any idea about SIM unlock?

Regards,
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I can't recall if s-off is available for the M8s.

If not, your best bet is to pay for a SIM unlock code. Which is usually around $10 US, and less than sunshine s-off anyway ($25 US, and the

only

working s-off method for the M8 - again I'm not sure if it works on the M8s).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llinasenc:
Hi redpoint73,

Sorry to hear there are so few possibilities for this mobile.

It seems was a bad decission.

Thanks a lot,
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
These are the things you should investigate

before

you buy a phone, not after.

Good rule of thumb: you should always do thorough research before buying a phone which is not specifically intended for your region/carrier (i.e. any phone not purchased directly from your carrier).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llinasenc:
Well, the issue is that he want to change the carrier, but now, in Spain, the carrier you bought it charge you 8 EUR for this ("service" call it).

It's clear that is annoying the situation we have in Spain, where Telcos can do whatever like, with complete freedom. Bad news for citizens.

Has anyone found a fitting protection glass for our Redmi Pro?

I tried some which were said to fit "Redmi Pro" (also displaying our device with dual camera), but they won't fit. They are always missing 1-2mm of left&right visible display area which is pretty useless and ugly to see.

Even gearbest's recommended glass did not fit...
[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Accessories] serpent_kurei:
I also tried it and yes its not fit very well, i just take it off and leave it without a screen protector. look much better.
[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Accessories] vfmmeo:
Little old post, but FYI, i tried an standard Samsung J7 tempered glass protector and, despite doesn't fit exactly on the corners of the phone, at least covers all the screen and fits reasonably well with the width of the phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Accessories] daffa ZRN:
All protectors are like that these days, they only cover the screen not the glass.

Also the redmi pro have a curved Glass design at the edge which would make it even harder.
[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Accessories] sekall12:
It does not cover the screen completely. That is the problem. You have ugly color distortion at the protection glass edges inside the active screen area. No curved glass there at all.

Hi. I just buy a3 on ebay. Looks like a new all working perfect. There is one strange thing with charging. Form 5% to full takes about 2.45 minutes. Phone is charging normal until 80% then dramatically slow down. It can stops on 92% for 10 mins an after battery is full. I didn't notice fast battery drain. It lasts for 2 days with everything on. I tried few fast chargers along with different USB-c cable ale still is the same. I did factory reset, but charging is still the same. Any ideas?

I have same problem with my A5 2017. It stucks on 92% and need a lot time to get to 100%. Sometimes i have to turn phone on and off.

I believe this problem is software related, we will see when nougat hit our device.

Battery is working fine, so there shouldn't be any issue with it.

Software or hardware calibration 99%.

Anyone know what the "Empty dish" button is for in the Notifications widgets?

I was playing around with the widget order in the notifications area.

Pull-down notification area > choose ellipsis > choose Button Order > list of available and used buttons appears

There was one widget called Empty dish (although it wasn't empty dish when I chose it). I put it in my list of buttons and then chose done. Whenever I select this button from the pull-down menu in notifications, I see:

Empty dish

Clicking it it brings up an overlay of 4 items on my screen:

Bits Fish

Chicken Treat

Not sure what any of them do but picking one just turns the screen blank.

Anyone else know what this does?

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Bill720:
When I started using this device, I held it in a Cimo Grip TPU casing basically from day one, and while it doesn't look that great, it does add some badly needed grip on the edges. The other day, I had to remove the sim card, which required taking the TPU casing off, and while doing so, I realized that the Pure Edition looks a lot better without it. From here, I got to thinking - is this casing really necessary?

To answer that question, I set out on a seven day journey of daily life to find out by using the Moto X Pure Edition with no casing at all whatsoever. What I found is that it actually is somewhat functional without the TPU, (at least more so than other phones) but with some caveats. For propping/leaning the device up against plates and dishes for consuming multimedia in the kitchen, the rubber backing material actually offers just enough grip for this to work, as long as the angle is far enough back (too step up-and-down, and it'll slide down a bit). Beyond that, it also works pretty well for operating the device in one hand while sitting, standing, or walking around. In fact, the only situations that left me wishing for the TPU were when the device needed to be propped up at a steeper angle or when I was holding it by only the slick metal edges to take pictures or watch videos laying down. Also, the buttons are far too easy to activate accidentally.

So, after this strange experiment, will I go back to using the TPU? Probably. But maybe not all the time. The Pure Edition is actually more grippable than I originally gave it credit for. Also, I don't have to contend with the massive lip on the left and right edges of the screen that make it difficult to make selections there. I'm not sure how casings affect heat dissipation or wireless reception, but that could potentially be another reason to scale back on those types of accessories. I have considered switching to one of those "bumper" frame-only casings, (such as the Case-Mate Tough Frame) which solves the grip problem on the perimeter of the device while still leaving the back exposed, but I can't seem to be able to find one of those to purchase anywhere. Does anybody have any thoughts on those or know where to find one?

With that, what does everyone else think? Do you use your Pure Edition "naked" or do you use some kind of casing or bumper? If you do use casing, would you consider trying the 7-day Naked Phone Challenge? :D
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] farshidfarshadi:
I just wanna warn that you should be extra careful with a naked MXPE

it has a very beautiful design and the material is fantastic, no doubt in that. but when i got my mxpe last year, i was using it without any protection, not even the provided bumper (as i always prefer my phones)

one week later i was sitting on the ground with my phone in my pocket, as i stood up, it dropped down from a height of no more than 20cm, and the screen shattered as it fell down on its metal side

since then ive been using bumpers with mxpe, it's a delicate phone
