Thank you for this.

When I add the apk, zip it and attempt to install with Magisk, I receive 'This zip is not a Magisk module'.

What am I missing?

[Android Apps and Games] gadgetguy08:
Thanks. The updater-script in the original template was a bit out of date. When I modeled mine after the latest file you provided, it was accepted and installed by Magisk.

However, the Bromite WebView still isn't working with this ROM (modded stock Oreo). Google is using the WebViewGoogle Folder and doesn't seem to recognize any other WebView versions.

Thanks again for your help.

Brave vs Bromite vs Kiwi HTML5 test.

Surprised to see Kiwi in second place while brave in leading the pack :eek:

P.S - Bromite does not seem to do cosmetic filtering for ads. Brave doesn't do it too. AFAIK, Only Firefox with uBlock origin and Kiwi does it.
[Android Apps and Games] OPOt585:
Bromite and kiwi, both with adfilter turned OFF (I have root and adaway)

Ps: if I refresh sometimes it's 523, sometimes it's 525 for both of them so...
[Android Apps and Games] d1n0x:
....and in real life usage you will notice no difference at all.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Not on high-end hardware. But the difference is night and day in low end devices.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Hardware??? Low end devices???

I think you not understand what that score is for...
[Android Apps and Games] :
Webpage rendering? Feautures? Security?

All of theses combined together is what im talking about. On my Rooted device(The low-end one im talking about) runs kiwi and brave smoothly, But Bromite does lag a bit and is very noticable.

That difference is reflected here.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
And nothing of the score has anything to do with your lagging device.

You don't provide any examples, don't mention what device and which Android version you have, didn't test in Chromium and don't notice that the developer of Bromite is not in this thread anymore. File an issue at GitHub if this is important to you.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Okay here we go -

My Device - Samsung galaxy core prime

Android Version - crDroid 7.1.2

Chipset - Spreadtrum sc7730s

Does it lay on Chromium? - No. But some pages do. (Bromite has noticible lag in scrolling)

Is it important to me? - Nope. Just letting the community know

Dev of Bromite - Yes. I knew that [MENTION=8627832]csagan5[/MENTION] isn't active in the forums right when he said that.

Regarding html5test and what it reports, I get various devices when using Bromite.

Moto G5s Plus, Bootleggers Oreo, Bromite 68...126: Reported as Chrome Dev 67.0.3396.87 on a Samsung Galaxy S8. Bromite webview shows the same (via ADM Browser).

LG G3, PAC-MAN Lollipop, stock browser using Bromite webview 68...126: Reported as Chromium webview 62 on a Oppo A37fw.

Using any other browsers will show the correct device or show no device. Is that normal?

Well it's basically not working on any site I've tried. E.g. reuters, android authority or xda..

I should note I've accessed them through sync reddit app and twitter.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Well I'll be... same here. On another ROM with Bromite webview I disabled Adaway, rebooted, and checked those sites using ADM's browser. Ads showed up on all three. In Bromite browser, no ads. Hmm. Now what.

Out of habit I have Adaway pretty much on all ROMs so never noticed if the webview was doing its job or not. Maybe it's allowing non-intrusive ads(?).

I just tried to update to the latest version of Bromite (v69.0.3497.109) via the official F-Droid repository and F-Droid flagged the update apk as having a different signature than the previous version of Bromite that I already had installed (v69.0.3497.102). Did this happen to any of you, or is this just a bug in F-Droid?

Also, it appears that the Bromite SystemWebView is now being served via F-Droid, which is an interesting development.

An involved process, especially if you have extra folders as I had. My bookmarks are many and ancient. Half probably don't work. [emoji16]

Since then, however, Bromite has the ability to import bookmarks, if I'm not mistaken. Since I don't use computers anymore I haven't tested it. One would export the bookmarks there and import on the phone. ??

New web privacy initiative by Tim Berners-Lee

Tim ("The creator of the WWW") always seems to have his heart in the right place regarding web user empowerment.

Some people have questions about the technical details but it can't hurt and I wonder if Bromite will consider some implementation in the future:

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45706429
[Android Apps and Games] handers1234:
Anyone success installing system webview root method?

I tried but it just blank in "set WebView Implementation" option in developer options and browser that use that crash/prompt to install system webview(eg.opera/opera mini,via,etc)
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I do it all the time. Looks like you might be missing a step.

Place Bromite webview in/as /system/app/webview/webview.apk. Permissions 644 (rw-r--r--).

Boot into ROM and install Bromite webview as a regular app. Mandatory step.

All should be good after that.
[Android Apps and Games] handers1234:
Okay this what I did:

1.Download bromite,change its name to webview.apk

2.Backup original webview.apk,then copy the bromite to /system/app/webview

3.Reboot

4.Then open again /system/app/webview and install the apk with android package installer

But then the set system webview option in developer options just blank and app that use system webview can't be opened.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=7496821]handers1234[/MENTION],

I should've mentioned I do the first part while in TWRP (I can't always trust that changes made while in ROM actually stick). You don't mention if the apk was given proper permissions (644).

After reboot, installing the downloaded apk would've sufficed, no need to open the one in /system.

Which ROM and Android are you on, btw? AospExtended Nougat shows webview implementation as AOSP WebView. OmniROM Oreo shows "Bromite System WebView". Also using it on Lollipop. No room for Pie. [emoji16]

ZTE Axon 7 A2017U, AospExtended v4.6 ROM, LlamaSweet 0.5 Kernel, microG (NoGapps), Multiboot, XDA Legacy
[Android Apps and Games] handers1234:
Well when I move it automatically has 644 permissions,I'm on AEX N.Well I moved the downloaded bromite apk to /system/app/webview

I'll ask my rom's dev,it seems he implement system webview differently or somthing because even when I try to update using official playstore one,in /system/app/webview still the old apk
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Waitiminit, there is no AOSP webview in the Play Store so it can't be updated that way anyway. Despite the generic sounding "Android System WebView", that is a Google item. By any chance do you have Google's webview installed? If so that may be part of the problem.

Anyhind, if the dev hasn't done anything different with the ROM and one hasn't installed Google's webview: By default there should be a /system/app/webview/webview.apk. I, while in TWRP (usually using AROMA file manager), will copy downloaded Bromite webview to /system/app/webview/. Delete webview.apk. rename Bromite file to webview.apk. Change permission to 644 if needed. Boot into ROM and install the downloaded Bromite webview. That's it. Has worked 100% for me. From LP to Oreo. Never made the change in a running ROM though.

Some extra info is in the wiki.

HOW TO IMPORT BOOKMARKS FROM GOOGLE CHROME TO BROMITE/CHROMIUM BROWSERS (ROOTED):

1. Create a random bookmark in Bromite (just to create the Bookmarks file in the data folder)

2. Copy everything after the 2nd line from the file

/data/data/com.android.chrome/app_chrome/Default/Bookmarks

(copy everything after these 2 lines:

{
"checksum": "[I]~some random numbers~[/I]",

)

3. Paste & replace everything in Bromite's Bookmarks file after the 2nd line as well, in

/data/data/org.bromite.bromite/app_chrome/Default/Bookmarks

3. RESTART Bromite

Sry if this has been posted. Was having a hard time (trying to) importing bookmarks.

Have you figured it out yet? My Android stock ROM also implements webview as WebViewGoogle and I'm in the same boat. I have done it 100x in other ROMs but this one is a bit more complied. Replacing webview or creating webview folder with the apk still won't list it as an option.

i did guide on how to import bookmarks from Chrome to Chromium some time ago:

but it took much longer to perform. ;)

starting from version 68.0.3440.110 of Bromite, it is unneeded, because the browser got Bookmarks Import funtion, which allows to easily import bookmarks from offline .html file.

Update: i posted the query as the bookmarks didnt appear earlier after i did the import a couple of times. Now i see they're there, so its like it just takes time to populate. Cheers.

Hello. Thankyou for the wonderful app. I have used bromite and it's webview since I first heard about it. Loving the latest update + icon change. Currently I am on Android Pie and the webview doesn't seem to get listed. (I managed to get it to work on Oreo just fine) if I install Chrome or Canary chrome as a system app...they come up as webview. I would greatly appreciate any help with using the app and it's webview.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I can't say much on that but on the few instances where I do have Chrome as a system app (gapps flash) the system webview is automatically disabled. So then it won't be listed in developer options. Check in the app info to see if that's the case. Maybe?

Yes your right. It gets disabled if you have Chrome or something as the webview. I just was using it as an example. If I install bromite + bromite webview. On Oreo it gets listed. But on Pie it doesn't (not the system one. The bromite one)
