I just installed Bromite magisk module and after directly rebooting, my device turned into unrecoverable bootloop to recovery mode.

[Android Software Development] Master One:
I have found and reported an issue concerning the way the Bromite System WebView is installed systemless-ly by this module:

The app TAN2go (for receiving PushTANs for my online banking that I rely on) just crashes with Bromite System Webview installed systemless-ly using this Magisk module, however works fine when installing Bromite System Webview directly to /system/app/webview as per original install instructions.

Logcat reveals FATAL EXCEPTION: File doesn't exist: /vendor/overlay/treble-overlay-webview.apk as the reason for the crash.

Hey after installing the latest version 4.1.0, I can not open any post on Facebook that contains in-app browser, it kicks me out of Facebook when clicking on a post that could be seen by webview (a link from a website)

Unfortunately the 4.1 version still causes a boot loop on my 2XL. Will try again later I guess.
[Android Software Development] iu1nguoi:
Does anyone have the 4.0 zip? So tired of Dev keep pushing broken release like this
[Android Software Development] iPAQ 6515a User:

[Android Software Development] westhaking:
I've tried all combinations of uninstalling/reinstalling/clearing dalvic cache and nothing is working. Did you do anything other than uninstall 4.1 then reinstall 4.0?
[Android Software Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Just flash 4.0 over4.1.

4.1 is wonky as hell. My banking apps stopped working, too.

4.0 has no issues at all!
[Android Software Development] westhaking:
Doing this just uninstalls 4.1.
[Android Software Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Use recovery
[Android Software Development] westhaking:
For me, this still just uninstalls 4.1 whether you flash from magisk or recovery. Doesn't matter.

Were your steps?:

1. Upgrade/Flash 4.1 in Magisk

2. Reboot to system

3. Reboot to recovery

4. Flash 4.0 in recovery

This just uninstalls 4.1 completely from phone.

Or?:

1. Remove 4.1 from Magisk

2. Reboot to recovery

3. Attempt to flash 4.0

I then see an error message along the lines of needing Magisk to flash this module because an internet connection is required.

Or something else because nothing is working for me.

All steps lead to non-working version.
[Android Software Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
I flashed 4.0 directly over, via recovery
[Android Software Development] purgy:
4.1.1 is out on magisk repository, which fixed the problems for me.

On 4.1 in developer settings it showed installed webview as 'none', and when I went into set webview it showed bromite as installed, but for another user (me).
[Android Software Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Unfortunately, exactly the same story as with 4.1 ;(
[Android Software Development] purgy:
Yeah I spoke too soon, I can't even open play store now, and a bunch of other apps are crashing within 10 seconds or so of loading. Back to 4.0
[Android Software Development] lfom:
Actually you don't need to update Magisk module to update Bromite Webview, it is only needed to install Bromite if you have the AOSP or Google Webview versions pre-installed. You can use F-Droid to update the Webview APK when there is a new version, just make sure you have added Bromite repository.
[Android Software Development] stevekind:
Cool, I always wondered if this would work :good:
[Android Software Development] iPAQ 6515a User:

[Android Software Development] PattayaGlock:
HI,

I downloaded the apk and tried to convert it to a system app using system/app/converter and got an error message.

I found this module, downloaded it, immediately rebooted as instructed. Boot was noticably longer. Bromite webview is greyed out and (disabled for user Owner ). I do not have chrome on my phone. I use Brave and Privacy Browser, both based on chrome....I think. I used Titanium to freeze both, rebooted, still greyed out.

I am on a OP 6t oos=Omege kernal+xXxNoLimits Magisk module.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, JC
[Android Software Development] tet-bundy:
Same here

Stable oos on the 6t

Bromite grayed out after reboot.

Disabled module (had to flash zip in twrp to get it to boot up again)

Now Android web view is greyed out and instead chrome web view is selected and default. Didn't think it was such a messy thing to install custom webview haha. Any input appreciated

Regards
[Android Software Development] tet-bundy:
Seems i can not attach a log when editing a former post..
[Android Software Development] lfom:
What version are you guys using (those with problems)? Latest versions have problems for some people (see previous posts), try installing 4.0 if you tried only newer versions (see previous posts for link to download it or repo).
[Android Software Development] PattayaGlock:
Thanks for the replies, but this module seems to be nothing but problems for lots of users. I will try to find another solution......preferably one that seems to work for most users.
[Android Software Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
F-Droid is the way
[Android Software Development] PattayaGlock:
Explain please. Nothing on f Droid about web view or Bromite, at least I did not find it.
[Android Software Development] Master One:
You have to add the Bromite F-Droid Repo.
[Android Software Development] PattayaGlock:
Thanks for the responses, but that does nothing but update the app already on my phone.

I still can't get it installed as a system app.

Any details that might help?
[Android Software Development] Master One:
Sorry, haven't followed what you are after. Either use Bromite Magisk Module or install to /system/app/webview manually as described in the Bromite wiki on Github.
[Android Software Development] PattayaGlock:
Magisk module did not work. Bromite shows (disabled for user Owner). After a lot of reading the module has been mostly problems for lots of users.

/system/app cannot remount /system so that route did not work.

Don't have the required file listed for an install with TWRP.

Sooooo, I am here trying to find a way to make it work.

F Droid wasn't the Droid I am looking for apparently.
[Android Software Development] Master One:
I'm currently not using the Bromite Magisk Module because of this bug which makes it unusable on a custom ROM like LOS when having apps hidden with Magisk Hide, so I have installed it to /system/app/webview manually, which works as intended but is cumbersome with LOS weekly updates.
[Android Software Development] tet-bundy:
Seems my Android System webview has been frozen during the process. Can't unfreeze via tb.

Also in case this is relevant. Said webview is called /system/app/WebViewStub/WebViewStub.apk on my system OOS 9.0.17 as opposed to what it is called on the github page
[Android Software Development] gck0:
tested on Oneplus 3T with Omnirom 8.1.0 + microG, xposed and xprivacylua, no gapps at all/no safetynet, Bromite 78.0.3904.63

Magisk got freezed during installation, I just waited a minute before reboot

then i installed the arm64 webview from the official site and everything worked like a charm :)

tested even with a clean LineageOS 15.1 (microG) + xposed, everything ok

thanks for everything!
[Android Software Development] tet-bundy:
Nevermind. Seems i missed sth the first time. Disabled chrome installed module via Magisk Manager. Now chrome webview is greyed out, android system webview is gone an bromite is selected as default. All good here
[Android Software Development] gatlinnewhouse:

[Android Software Development] Master One:
That issue is preventing me from using the Magisk Module (which would make so much more sense than having to install the webview to /system/apps/webview manually after each and every weekly ROM upgrade) as well:

FATAL EXCEPTION: File doesn't exist: /vendor/overlay/treble-overlay-webview.apk (GitHub Issue)
[Android Software Development] lfom:
Actuallyyou don't need to install the module for every update, you can simply install the new APK from F-Droid repo or GitHub once you have it installed once as system app (or using the module one time, of course). It will update the current system app like any other.
[Android Software Development] Master One:
Actually it really needs to be installed to /system/apps/webview after each and every ROM update, because it gets overwritten in that place by the SystemWebView that comes with the ROM.

The Bromite SystemWebView from F-Droid gets installed as regular user app. That's what [MENTION=8627832]csagan5[/MENTION] has confirmed here: Clarification about Bromite SystemWebView update process.
[Android Software Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Xposed module AnyWebView is the solution
[Android Software Development] Master One:
I didn't follow the development, when I started with this, Xposed wasn't working with Android 9. But thanks, I guess I don't want to add any more complexity by adding Xposed or NanoDroid if all I need is just an up-to-date Bromite SystemWebView.
[Android Software Development] lfom:
Sure, of course, this happens if you have moved the apk manually to the system partition every time you update the ROM. I was talking about the magisk module (or the case where you don't flash a ROM update, of course). I used the Magisk module just once, updated the ROM once and all I have to do to update webview is update it from F-Droid.
[Android Software Development] Master One:
Yes, that's the catch here, LOS 16 for microG receives weekly updates and I can't use the Magisk Module because it doesn't work for Magisk-hidden apps.
[Android Software Development] lfom:
I see... Did you try module version 4.0? Newer versions seem to have some problem with newer ROMs. I use it with SuperiorOS Pie and it works fine.
[Android Software Development] Sjain11:
It messed up things for me.

Android 10. Op5t. Carbon rom unofficial. Latest magisk with twrp.

I flashed the module in magisk. Then immediately hit reboot option. But it never went pass the boot animation. Just remained there for about 15~20 min. I deduced that it's perhaps incompatible. Because after manually wiping cache/dalvik also it never more than a few minutes to boot up.

So i reflashed the zip from twrp to uninstall it.

It booted. Fine

But it had re enabled all the app that i had disabled. Also, it uninstalled the android system webview that i had installed from play store because in built one was an older version.

Any ideas what can be done to install it now?
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
Ok guys sorry I haven't logged in for awhile, been kinda busy

The short of it is that as far as I know currently, no other webview besides Google supports Q. In addition, the way webview is handled changed on Q

So although there have been updates, none have made it to stable because I'd like to tackle Q compatibility in the next release. However, if no upstream support is added by end of year I'll push current fixes anyway

In addition to the poster who is complaining about "all devices" -if you read the README (which actually I need to update with the status of Q)* it specify only 7.0-9.0 ROMs are supported

However if you really want to see support for your device enhanced, you really need to join my telegram group, https://t.me/inlmagisk so I can get feedback and provide betas

So yeah. Been a little busy lately with life, and waiting on upstream support. Not dead yet ;)

[Android Software Development] DavidEUS:
I have updated since version 4.1 using Magisk and it does not work, I have had to uninstall and now I am unable to install it again, neither through Magisk, nor by installing in the internal memory, nor in system / app / webview.
[Android Software Development] SoftwareSucks:
Installed the Magisk module and I didn't see Bromite on the webview list, so I installed the Bromite Webview via fdroid and still don't see it on the list.

What am I missing here?
[Android Software Development] twist3d0n3:
Bromite webview by the looks of it :silly:
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
Latest 4.2.3?
[Android Software Development] DaggerMadd:
Tried 4.2.2 on Oreo 8.1, it said "installed successfully" and even listed in installed apps but didn't show in webview implementation list. And installer removed chrome which has been disabled anyway. Today I installed 4.2.3 and amazingly it got worse. Again it won't show in developer options menu and it removed default webview along with chrome. So it left me stranded without any browsing options. Yeah, I uninstalled it on a spot and it brought back chrome, which, I remind you, I chose to disable. It took a while to sort out, I had to update webview from store and disable damn chrome again. So I mildly pissed. Degoogled webview sounds good but implementation lacks evidently.
[Android Software Development] underflash:
Updated to 79.0.3945.111 via Magisk module 4.2.3 on AICP 14.0 (p9.0) amami (Sony Z1 Compact).

Gmail is crashing on opening. Google services and preferences completely dead (not opening at all). How to roll back?
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
Evidently the boot scripts are borked because they should install the app and fix the crashing (if you'd like to do it manually install the apk in /sdcard/bromite)

New logic blocks the overlay being copied on custom ROMs. Evidently this is too aggressive and needs re-worked. I have a hunch on how to fix this, but I need user input to do so

Anyone who's having issues with webview not showing up, I need two things: your build.prop and the debug logs on /sdcard

Please be aware that I'm significantly more active on telegram. You can reach me via joining https://t.me/inlmagisk

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

Also, for now, you can copy the apk in the common directory in the zip to /data/adb/modules/bromitewebview/vendor/overlay until I resolve this issue

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

Chrome can always be re-enabled

I'm considering just disabling it instead of completely removing it, what do you think?
[Android Software Development] DaggerMadd:
Yeah, disabling chrome is more reasonable. User should be allowed fallback option. If bromite install fails and there are no webview alternatives - that instantly breaks google menu, public wifi authentication and who knows what else.

Well, I tried to include a link to archive containing my build.prop and bromite debug log but apparently new users are not allowed to. I don't use telegram, so... an email maybe?
[Android Software Development] lfom:
Maybe it helps the dev or someone else with problems: after installing the latest Magisk module (4.2.3) on a clean flash of SuperiorOS Nemesis (Android Pie) plus Open Gapps Pico for arm64, I could see Bromite listed correctly in developer settings (Chrome was hidden/removed tho) but it was not working. I have checked the file system and it seemed fine. I then simply manually installed the latest Bromite SystemWebview from F-Droid, which was the exactly same version, and it started to work fine. Attached is the Bromite module log. Regards.
[Android Software Development] euphore:
For me the same. Everything crashes. Nothings gonna work since the latest update. No reinstall, no deinstall. Can't even install older version from f-Droid, install process failed. The above suggestion to copy the APK into .../vendor/ didn't worked out because there's no overlay folder. Everything seems broken now. Even viperfx lost its driver. Can't reinstall.hmm. I'm on LOS16 arm.
[Android Software Development] exadeci:
After uninstalling it doesn't re-enable android system webview which causes many apps to crash and it took me some time to figure out what was happening.
[Android Software Development] euphore:
How did you manage to get it to work?
[Android Software Development] samuells:
after uninstalled via magisk, try to convert Android Web Browser to user app then convert back to system app, i used titanium backup to do that, idk about other apps, it should work. after that i reinstalled the latest version still work for me 4.1.1 . i tried installing the latest version 4.2.3 but it still didn't work.
[Android Software Development] TF666:
4.2.3 also causes crashes for certain apps using WV for me.

How do you guys install a specific older version (e.g. 4.1.1) through Magisk? I cannot find archive of older versions in Magisk and cannot find any ready-made zip for an older version I'd install through Magisk manually
[Android Software Development] the_Pan:
I still use 4.0.0 and it's working fine for me.

You can install it within the "module"- section. Use the + in the yellow circle.
[Android Software Development] TF666:
Thanks, [MENTION=6270072]the_Pan[/MENTION], however this still installs newest webview as it installs the newest release from their github repo in the setup script. So the resulting Bromite System WebView is 79.0.3945.139 even with your version.

I will try to manually change `unity_install.sh` to `URL=https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases/download/78.0.3904.63/${ARCH}_SystemWebView.apk` and see whether that helps with currently broken version.

Do you have any specific site where you download older releases of magisk modules?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] the_Pan:
For me it was the magisk module which causes trouble, not the webview itself.
[Android Software Development] TheBlackMink:
Thank you for the zip. Up and working.
