Grrr... that's a comment I would normally make! :laugh: the notification goes onto say "Bromite will not work without Google Play store". I'm pretty sure that there are no playstore dependencies within Bromite. That's almost the purpose of the app, to strip Google out of your browsing experience. I was thinking it may have been some add-on or plugin request on some web pages that trigger it. It only crops up occasionally.
[Android Apps and Games] SnowFuhrer:
Can you block the notification?
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
Yes, of course, by long pressing on the notification. But that will block all notification from Bromite. I can only ever recall seeing this one, but the next one could be different and really important! I wonder if its related to this in some way? https://codereview.chromium.org/1554103002

edit: Ah, that might be it. I do have occasion to log onto gdrive. I wonder if its checking a cookie or something, then trying to login or something.

Bromite and SafetyNet

According to the Bromite Wiki installing the Bromite Webview brakes SafetyNet on an existing rom. Anyone knows if that also happens when replacing the aosp webview with the bromite webview when building a custom rom?
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
Ah, this page seems to trigger that Bromite won't run without Google Play services notification quite consistently. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/Asia_Bibi
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Could be happening with sites that request location ? Android used to have location as an independent service, but unfortunately it was bundled with Play Services long ago. ( A pet peeve of mine is that applications that require location now won't work only with GPS even though they should, instead they refuse to run without Play Services installed. )
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
Good idea! I've trawled and trawled the html looking through any linked javascript and there is a HUGE amount of it and I can't find any references to geolocation. However, it does link to Google Tag Services which starts to make me suspicious!

Howdy folks, regarding https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=79386725

Anyone have any ideas? The repo just won't work on KitKat. I figure it may be an OS thing (ancient webview, SSL) but don't know if it's correctable. Not really important that it works but just curious why it's the only repo not working.

[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
Good catch, must have been introduced recently in Chromium; I will give a look on how to remove it.
[Android Apps and Games] the_Pan:
Do you suggest to "buy" the dark mode toggle?

Well, would be worth thinking about. But on the other hand, if it's irrelevant...
[Android Apps and Games] LastDo:
Biggest flaw in this browser is lack of translate feature.
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
Donations do not entitle anybody to anything; all development has to be discussed publicly on the GitHub issue tracker. Only improvements which are aligned with Bromite goals are considered.

Regardless, there is already a toggle for the dark mode: Settings -> Dark mode -> On/Off.

I am sorry if those are too many taps away for you but that is a feature developed by Chromium authors; you can ask upstream on their issue tracker about changing that.
[Android Apps and Games] DeAdLyV!RuS:
Totally agree LastDo...
[Android Apps and Games] the_Pan:
Okay, thank you for the clarification. I already was aware of the toggle in settings. It's not, that it's too far, but it only toggles the browser ui as also mentioned in this thread before. I thought it would be possible also to toggle the web contents
[Android Apps and Games] the_Pan:
Thank you, I already found and read, but I would prefer something to toggle the complete ui+ web content quickly between night and day mode.

[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
The new version 75 worked fine for 15 minutes, then crashed while browsing and crashes again short after restarting.

Clearing cache didn't help, clearing data is currently no option for me because of a lot of open tabs.

//edit: seems like a specific tab/page is causing this behavior
[Android Apps and Games] Oddb411:
I had issues with crashing on latest version 75 as well, downgraded back to the latest version 74.
[Android Apps and Games] rwxr-xr-xis:
I've used bromite 75 for almost 2 hours today, no crashing issues
[Android Apps and Games] Pseudonym:
v75 is very stable so far. Also fixed theme issues on Dark mode finally
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
The crashes continue now and then, but I can't see a pattern behind them. Mostly it happens when closing a tab (not really page specific), but also saw it when saving a picture or just loading/opening an already opened tab from the tab switcher.
[Android Apps and Games] lars85destroyer:
Have you tried clearing data/cache and resetting flags you could have changed to default ?
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Clearing cache didn't help. Clearing data is currently no option because of the massive amount of open tabs.

I could try to test resetting the flags, but as I said it's hard to reproduce.
[Android Apps and Games] lars85destroyer:
If you have too much tabs opened it could be the issue. You should really make a backup (TiB, Swift, Oandbackup... Plenty of options) and try to reproduce it on a clean install
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Disabled all flags, but doesn't help.

I currently have an URL with which it is reproduceable at the moment: https://www.deichstube.de/news/flor...nblick-leben-bundesliga-trainer-12310113.html

Can someone confirm?

//Edit: Okay, if I open the link again there is no problem. But switching to the still open tab of that link crashes Bromite :eek:

//Edit 2: Seems like it has to do with adblocking. After disabling I can open the tabs again without a crash :silly:

Finally had a constant flow of crashes, updated to latest version and it seems they've been fixed ?
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
On my KitKat ROM I had Bromite v74 with dark mode. Nice. After updating to v75 the browser was no longer dark. The Theme setting that is present on other ROMs is not present here. Dark UI is still set in the flags.

I uninstalled and installed v75 fresh. Still no way to make it dark so went back to v74. There was nothing in the v75 changelogs mentioning the removal of dark mode for older Android so I'm not sure what the deal is.

Another thing I noticed is the removal of the Download section in the browser's Settings so it wasn't possible to rename files before downloading. I like to append version & build numbers to Bromite downloads but files just download without prompts. Have certain features been removed in the ChromePublic builds?

LG G3 D851, Mahdi v2.9 ROM (4.4.4), microG (NoGApps), MultiROM, XDA Legacy
[Android Apps and Games] Oddb411:
I've also noticed that the Downloads setting has been removed and it's no longer possible to rename files before download. It's a nice usability feature, but could also help prevent drive-by downloads that start automatically. In addition, offline pages rely on this feature to allow me to backup .mhtml files and open them on other phones or after factory resets.

I was also wondering if the Chromium team removed that feature. Here was my original bug report on the Chromium tracker, which was ultimately closed because they only meant for it to be used for phones with SD cards and thus, multiple download folder locations. Removing the option entirely seems backwards. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=916606

Does anyone else have more information on this? And is it possible to bring back as before?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Try enabling the chrome flag to rename downloads.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Thanks, that did it. There's also a flag to allow changing download location so I enabled that one, too. Now it's back to normal. [emoji106]

[Android Apps and Games] :
Haha. Glad i could help
[Android Apps and Games] Oddb411:
Thank you, I didn't even think to look in the flags. Should've been the first thing I did *facepalm* I enabled the change downloads location flag and the dialog box has reappeared. Just the rename downloads flag wasn't enough, but apparently doesn't appear necessary if the location flag is enabled on my Pixel 3a on Android 9.0 Pie.

I also found a flag for opening offline pages in chrome custom tabs (CCT) and disabled it. Now I can open downloaded web pages in its own tab, which I find more useful than the custom tab so I can switch between my open tabs without losing my place.

Bromite update v75.3770.70:

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases/tag/75.0.3770.70

The chrome flags discussed above are enabled by default.

Full changelog:

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
[Android Apps and Games] Oddb411:
Thanks to csagan5 for changing the download and offline page flags by default. Those changes were not strictly necessary given Bromite's focus on ad blocking and privacy, but it is very nice to see them incorporated.

Edit: Some changes I've noticed with Chromium v75: For those using the history overscroll flag, the swipe for backwards/forwards is now only registered from the edge of the screen and the arrow icon is now smaller. Also, tapping and holding on a file link in Incognito Mode will no longer have a "Download" option in the dialog box. This goes for APKs and MP3 files. You will have to tap to open the link first, which will trigger the download prompt or open the file in the native audio player (overflow menu on the player will have option to download). Regular browsing mode will still allow you to tap and hold for the download option.

Just some observations to look for when updating to v75 Bromite.

Hi everyone. I installed Magisk module of Bromite and tried these two commands to verify the installation:

cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk ~

aapt d xmltree framework-res.apk res/xml/config_webview_packages.xml

The result is attached. Is this a Bromite issue or a module issue?

I selected Android System WebView instead of Chrome on Developer options. Is this needed?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=8600843]kgursu[/MENTION], you don't verify the installation of Bromite webview by looking at that file. One would check the XML file first to see if com.android.webview is present. If so then more than likely Bromite webview would work.

I would say that 99.9% of custom AOSP/LOS ROMs have support. It's the OEM stock ROMs that don't seem to. You haven't mentioned what ROM you're on. Anyhind, you can use an app like WEBVIEW TEST to see if what you selected is Bromite (results should show lower chrome version and a device that isn't your device).

Setialpha's (of NanoDroid) Bromite webview installer now does a check to see if com.android.webview is supported. If not then it won't install. Cool deal.

Greetings. I mentioned previously about the repo not working or getting an index on KitKat. I posted a log snippet for you in this post...

I was hoping to see if the errors were either the repo, F-Droid, or the ROM. Just needed to know what road to take in resolving.

I thought Zero and I had the same issue but I see not. Looks like he can see updates at least.

I'm on CarbonROM actually. Results does not show lower version of WebView. So, are initialize and recommend settings not be needed to use on WebView Test application?

I tried to install Bromite (by using arm64_SystemWebView.apk) on top of Bromite Systemless Webview without success.

Flashing NanoDroid-BromiteWebView-21.0.20190601.zip does seem to be a bit complicated to me, as I need to uninstall Bromite Systemless Webview then.

Can you give us a step-by-step comprehensive guide to accomplish systemless installation of Bromite by using one of these modules, which I prefer Bromite Systemless Webview in this case.

I'm on Pie, so I need to use this guide (https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/blob/master/doc/DeodexServices.md) to deodex Services.jar, which seem to be much more complex. Is there no way to deodex Services.jar systemlessly?

Thanks!

What i replied to ur PM(Private Message) was the case until day before yesterday but yesterday it(all 3 bromite apps) automatically got listed and now the problem was i was not able to download the apps(F-Droid crashed and gave popup to send repot to fdroid ,when i tap install).
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=8600843]kgursu[/MENTION], I am sorry but I don't think I can help there. I don't do Pie. Am also unfamiliar with systemless webview. I wasn't aware that was possible. Is it? I also don't do Magisk, at all, if that's how you're getting a systemless webview.

Regarding the NanoDroid-BromiteWebView installer you'll probably have to ask in the NanoDroid thread.

Sorry.

Well, the changes in the history overscroll flag now make more sense to me: https://www.xda-developers.com/files/2019/06/Screenshot_20190606-093156-1.png

Android Q has a full gesture navigation where the back button is replaced by swiping from the left or right edge of the screen, and Beta 4 has a smaller arrow indicating the gesture activation. The Chromium history gesture activating only from the edges now and with smaller arrows now fits with the Android Q gesture nav.

I wanted to know which version of bromite should i download ? I have a OnePlus 3T , Which one should i download(i know its ARM64 but what about the other two versions) ?
[Android Apps and Games] automatisms:
You’ll want to download the latest arm64_ChromeModernPublic apk (it’s for devices running Lollipop or newer – see here for more info). By the way, if you visit bromite.org on your device & scroll down to Download Bromite, the button there usually downloads the suitable version for your device. The best way to keep Bromite updated (I think) is by using F-Droid with the official Bromite repository.
[Android Apps and Games] drive2droad:
I also wanted to know if I could use bromite as a replacement for chrome when installing a new aosp Rom all while replacing android system webview with bromite. Will it work as a system app?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Bromite will work as a system app yes, But Webview you need to read this thread regarding the webview.

I suggest you uninstall/remove chrome from the system partition and install android system webvjew from google play and install Bromite and the system webview as system apps :)
[Android Apps and Games] Tisckkytt:
I'd suggest using Nanodroid Bromite Webview zip which replaces system webview but also keeps a backup so that if you uninstall with the uninstaller zip, it can restore the system webview. That's the easiest way.

You can find all information in the Nanodroid documentation, check their xda thread.

Yep, I’ve been experiencing similar recently, always when scrolling quickly through disqus comments. However, there‘s a closed issue on GitHub for this:

So my suggestion is be a bit careful when scrolling up in disqus comments. Also, if it does freeze at least the page can be reloaded (not ideal but so it goes sometimes).

[Android Apps and Games] Tomato_Jam:
I am in the same boat. I'm after following all of the instructions, and I have read through the thread (quite a lot of it), and removed everything, reinstalled, tried the module.

I basically have nothing under "Webview Implementation" after I install Bromite System Webview, I removed Google Webview and Chrome and also tried it with either, and both installed at different times.

I have a Moto G7 Plus, it was working before the manual update. It is running Pie.

Bromite System Webview also appeared as an app IIRC before updated, but it doesn't appear anywhere now except in the Settings > Apps & Notifications list where I can only force stop, clear data and uninstall it.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=5100026]Tomato_Jam[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7042628]ubergeek77[/MENTION], I take it both of you are on OEM stock? Did you check, as per the wiki, your framework-res.apk?

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/wiki/Installing-SystemWebView#verifying-allowed-webview-packages

If the ROM does not support com.android.webview then Bromite WebView will not work. That has been mentioned numerous times in this thread.

Latest version, I think, of Setialpha's (of NanoDroid) Bromite webview installer will do a check first to see if a ROM will support it. Maybe give that a go. Might be a quick way to check if you don't want to manually verify.

https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/

EDIT: Tomato_Jam, I overlooked the part where you said it worked before a manual update. Can you clarify that. Update of what, Bromite webview or the ROM? If the former, what do you mean by manual update.
