Changes for 4.4.1:

Fix boot scripts

Rework install logic

Introduced better logging

Lots of things I missed

Final unity release, 5.0 will be MMT-ex
[Android Software Development] The Wrath of Kahn:
For the first time on Android 10, installed without problems and selectable. Unfortunately doesn't block the majority of google sponsored ads, but that's a Bromite issue, not the module itself. Thanks for your continued efforts!
[Android Software Development] DaggerMadd:
Ok, so with new "stable" release my phone successfully entered bootloop. I do hope there is a way to uninstall it via, say, adb, is it? Or maybe via TWRP?
[Android Software Development] Xspeed:
My device (Xperia X) also died, currently looking for a way to undo the damage without completely reflashing everything from scratch.

EDIT: I found the issue, the post-fs-data.sh script breaks the overlays.xml file:

<item packageName="${OL}" userId="0" targetPackageName="android" baseCodePath="${DR}/treble-overlay-webview.apk" state="6" isEnabled="true" isStatic="true" priority="98" />

This was inserted several times at the end of the overlays.xml file. Note that the variables were not expanded properly. Did you test this, dear dev?
[Android Software Development] woofwoof75:
Been trying many times and all the new modules never work for my devices, wonder if the developer or anyone able to get to work, and why the new update never work/fix the issue? Or is there any tricks we need to do to ever get it to be useful?

I finally found an old copy 4.1.1 in my hard drive somewhere, tested to be working ok.
[Android Software Development] DaggerMadd:
My guess is - developers move on, get themselves fancy new One devices and don't really care about us mere mortals with "outdated" tech. At least that what I do with apps which I develop :)
[Android Software Development] woofwoof75:
Yeah... ?
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
Flash latest alpha from https://GitHub.com/linuxandria/bromitewebview/releases, zip up /sdcard/bromite/logs, and send it here (you'll need to wait ~2min after booting)

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Especially if you don't provide logs and device info's [emoji14]
[Android Software Development] DaggerMadd:
My phone died, I wasn't thinking about logs and ways to get them from bricked device, y'know. Just reflashed and set it up from scratch, spent several hours. I think I'm done with bromite.
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
Once again, without logs and device info's I HAVE NO IDEA WHY AND CAN'T FIX YOUR PROBLEM.

Anyhow for most users who tested in my telegram group from v4.3 onwards the bootloop issues are gone.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

I'm sorry but I get extremely tired of "I have a problem but no I'm not going to give you any other information" lol
[Android Software Development] woofwoof75:
- DELETED -

I struggle to upload the logs.

Lemme try again. ?

OP updated with more information
[Android Software Development] the_Pan:
4.4.3 works well with crdroid 6.1 (Android 10) on nexus 5. Thank you! :good:

Edit: 4.4.3 doesn't work on essential ph1 with lineage 16 (Android 9) Webview gets installed, but it seems, it doesn't get used
[Android Software Development] jiraianam:
I think It is bugging with Island (Profile Work), anyone experience bug with Island Apps? Later then I flash it do not work my island application anymore. Anyone can help me fix it? Thanks

I find a solution for me, first I do not connected in google play services with the gmail account, later install the Island and open the Profile Work to flash the Bromite Magisk, later that reboot and remove detroy the island and can use the device normally
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
I think in general it has issues with work profiles (what Island uses) but I'm not 100% sure and also not sure why it doesn't work if it doesn't.
[Android Software Development] winstonma:
I got the same issue.

4.4.3 installed on my Xiaomi A2, but apps can't use the bromine webview. I have to enable Android System Webview to get my app work.
[Android Software Development] kubj31196:
Hi,

Bromite shows up as "disabled for user Owner" in my Developer options - Webview implementation. I downloaded and flashed the module by the Magisk Manager. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
I need your device name, ROM, and android version, along with the contents (zipped up) of /sdcard/bromite/logs
[Android Software Development] kubj31196:
Device: Redmi Note 7 Pro

ROM: MIUI by Xiaomi.eu 11.0.4

Android version: 9
[Android Software Development] jiraianam:
AdaptiveLogin is bugging in Mokee ROM flashed by Magisk Manager
[Android Software Development] :
captivelogin crashed on v4.4.3

pls help to solve
[Android Software Development] nsx2brz:
I had this too, for me it turned out that the Google Webview was auto disabling the Bromite Webview, the solution was to uninstall Google Webview and reenable Bromite Webview, I used Titanium Backup to do this.
[Android Software Development] Soumy1234:
Forgive this stupid question, but will it be possible to apply Bromite to specific apps? I noticed that after installing Bromite, Netflix disappears from the Play Store. I understand that Bromite is more for people who want open source things and therefore shouldn't be used with Gapps, but it would still be kind of cool to use it nonetheless.
[Android Software Development] keshav_c17:
Hello there,

My installation of the module is getting failed with error "no capable apk was found" or "files failed to download" my device is Zenfone 2, x86 arch, Android 6.0.1
[Android Software Development] Ascii3:
Given that this thread is named "Bromite magisk module" and described in the first post as a Magisk module, it would seem that this offering is only for a Magisk module. The initial post description states:

However, in the question and answer section of the first post, it is given that the offering's boot script depends on Magisk, SuperSU, or init.d support. The statement of that is:

[MENTION=9834019]linuxandria[/MENTION] - It would seem that the offered "Magisk Module for Bromite System Webview" is not just a Magisk module, and might be usable without Magisk. Can the offering be used without having Magisk installed at all?
[Android Software Development] lazostat:
Is it a good combo to use with chrome,firefox,kiwi browser or is it better to install bromite?
[Android Software Development] taufiqs:
bootloop on rog phone 2 A10

hi there,

my rog phone 2 got bootloop after installed the modules.

I am using version WW-17.0230.2002.32

any help around?
[Android Software Development] winstonma:
You can go to recovery and uninstall Magisk
[Android Software Development] amg314:
You can remove any bad Magisk module in /data/adb/modules using TWRP File Manager
[Android Software Development] Meloexxer:
Gmail won't open/crash whenever I use bromite webview.
[Android Software Development] lazostat:
Iherb app doesn't open now, i guess its cause of bromite webview?
[Android Software Development] taufiqs:
OMG, so basically we can delete the culprit?

Lol, instead of delete it, I downloaded back the stock firmware and started from zero.

Thanks for the clue!
[Android Software Development] lazostat:
Also lichess app. I will uninstall the webview and keep only the bromite browser.

[Android Software Development] androidacy:
[MENTION=6949426]Ascii3[/MENTION] it's recommended to install via magisk in current stable, although technically should work without.

However in latest beta I've switched to MMT-Ex which only supports magisk installs as I don't have more than a handful of users who don't use magisk.

4.4.3 will remain available as release on GitHub but once the current beta is pushed to stable only magisk installs will be supported
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
With this module it's preferred to reflash the module zip or put a `remove` file in the module directory because it makes modifications to /data/system files which when not reverted causes boot loop on some devices.
[Android Software Development] The Wrath of Kahn:
I saw a comment about Android 11 DP4 in the GitHub discussion, but couldn't tell if you meant that it was working on that version or not. Can you confirm if it works on DP4? I cannot select any other version of webview, official or not, on my pixel 2 XL with DP4.
[Android Software Development] tysch:
5.0.1 asked for Magisk update on Pie (Havoc2.9). Done. Then it placed bad webview.apk 16.7MB in /system/app/webview. I had to replace manually bad apk with right one and install it as user app. Now it works.
[Android Software Development] droidbot1337:
i installed the magisk module and now have bromite as default webview but when i view webpages its the stock webview. non of the features like desktop mode are avialble. i uninstalled the google webview but its the same. webview provider still says its bromite. any help is appreciated.
[Android Software Development] DirtyAngelicaSecured:
Doesn't seem to work on Pixel Android 10 phones (latest June 5th Pixel Dust ROM). There is no place to select Bromite for WebView. Only AndroidView is available.
[Android Software Development] Txatxiquesi:
Works on A2 lite AICP android 10 rom.
[Android Software Development] droidbot1337:
developer options > webview implementation > bromite
[Android Software Development] DirtyAngelicaSecured:
Doesn't work with Pixel-Dust-CAF ROM, but it does work incredibly well in Lineage OS 17.1! Bromite FTW! I am not entirely sure what it does though... No matter what App I use, AdGuard shows no data going through Bromite WebView, even though it is selected in Developer Options, Android WebView is fully removed, and no other WebView exists...
[Android Software Development] droidbot1337:
yeah, my pixel 2 xl with crdroid only shows bromite webview but when i open pages i dont get any of the features from bromite. i dont know whats wrong.
[Android Software Development] payas0:
A CLI tool would be nice where we can run update scripts instead of reflashing the module. Thanks by the way!
[Android Software Development] fubo73:
Seems working ok on Poco F1 Android 9 (yes, I did not move to 10 yet :p).

A question: are telegram user/group dead?
[Android Software Development] mrsuperuser:
Some people are having "disabled for user xxxx" problem

install "anywebview" xposed module, and you'll able to select any webview you want
[Android Software Development] cellularticulate:
Someone else can probably confirm my theory, but ditch adguard and try AdAway. Likely adguard was built up around WebView framework and that it itself is supposed to block bad domains.
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
Stable 6.0.0 is here!

After a lot of work and testing, here is v6.0.0!

Version: 6.0.0

Changes:

AFAIK AdGuard relies on webview not at all, I use it with no problems.
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
Some users report issues with detecting internet on installation, if you run into such issue, simply follow instructions for offline install!
[Android Software Development] pocholo36:
Boot loop... I've had to remove with MM module 3 times now. Immediate shutdown toast once phone gets booted up.

Never had issues with this until latest OOS update to 10.5.13...

Dunno if it matters, but I'm unable to pass safety net since latest update. Please see attached logs. Thanks

I'm muted for "spamming" the telegram channel.

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/wiki/Installing-SystemWebView

Looks like a few more options for root install to me, unless of course you meant magisk is the only supported systemless method.
[Android Software Development] closedcircuit:
I'm getting bootloops on the OP7T as well on OOS 10.0.12HD65AA.

Had to use the command adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules to get everything back up running.

Logcat attached.
[Android Software Development] PDS1921:
Just flashed on OnePlus 7pro so far so good.
[Android Software Development] mohas53946:
I'm having the same issue as keshav_c17, I tried installing through magisk, TWRP and both didn't work. I tried non root method but I didn't have the /system/app/webview folder for some reason.

Using Samsung S7, on LineageOS 17.1-20200911-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.

Hopefully this fixes some of the "no internet" issues that were found before
[Android Software Development] androidacy:
That would be an OxygenOS side issue, and as I don't have that version yet I cannot say what is the problem, but nonetheless try the latest version and if you still have issues join the telegram group

webview

sometimes the bromite webview doesn't show up for me and it's stuck on android webview with no other options, I go and grab the xposed module "any webview is ok" and that makes the bromite option appear. then I use the magisk module debloat to remove the android webview, leaving just the bromite one available and activated .

of course, nothing works with android 11 for me right now, I guess because of the system_ext stuff. the magisk module app_systemizer doesn't work now either...
[Android Software Development] nefaf21493:
[MENTION=9834019]unixandria[/MENTION] , thank you very much for the latest update. The above quoted comment was my throwaway account and I am pleased to report that I successfully flashed the Webview as a Magisk module. Though I already wiped my device as I tried to install via NanoDroid LOL.
[Android Software Development] UserEmu89:
It didn't worked. It caused boot loop in my Moto G4 plus when installed through magisk. So I had to wipe my system and reflash the stock rom.

And it was a wierd boot loop. When I switch on, the hello Moto animation runs and the system was trying to show up but the whole animation was repeating everytime. It was not actual boot loop, just the system was not showing. If it was an actual boot loop only the logo part (at the end) of animation keeps repeating.
[Android Software Development] 3mel:
still slightly confused, I came here looking for an APK to download because I can't see one inside the module zip to move, I can't see anything to download here or on github.

please be gentle when castigating me.

PS can I just take the magisk zip and flash it via TWRP now?
[Android Software Development] pocholo36:
[MENTION=9834019]unixandria[/MENTION] Tried the latest with same issue. Upon 1st boot before auto bootlooping, I noticed sim card was disabled.

Used MM module to remove bromite through recovery.

After reboot, Google Chrome was disabled.

Logs attached
[Android Software Development] amn1987:
Can someone please take a look at the ADB output and explain if Bromite WV can be installed or not?

Currently running a year old Havoc Pie in a Redmi 3s. The default Android WV was version 75/76. Installing updated WV from Play Store didn't seem to update the system WV as I kept getting SSL security errors in various apps. Removed the default WV with Titanium Backup and installed Chrome and set it as default WV provider. SSL errors in third-party apps continues however.
[Android Software Development] Wattsensi:
I had to uninstall it because my CPU temp rose to 80C
[Android Software Development] LargestJ:
I love what you are trying to do with this and I am very thankful for your work. I have a Pixel XL on Lineage 17.1. I can install Bromite through Magisk and uninstall no problem. However it seems like this is a bit of cat and mouse with Google and Microsoft. Each time I install it is OK until Google/Microsoft updates or any other app that uses the android.webview. Is there any other tweak that can make the Bromite installation stable? I know I shouldn't complain about apps not working using Bromite but would appreciate any suggestions? Or is it a losing battle with a Pixel phone?

Many thanks
[Android Software Development] Nightwing0815:
Hey there,

i checked via ADB this: adb shell "pm list packages | grep webview"

Result: com.google.android.webview

So my question is: can i install bromite via magisk, or won't it work?

Android version: 9 / 2.55.401.1 / HTC U12+

Thanks in advance,

ToM
[Android Software Development] Lennoard:
Had to uninstall. Experiencing high CPU usage therefore high temperature too. Overall slowness and unstable. I'm not trying to be negative but this messed up really bad and made me double think whether this was a coinminer or something that's how I ended up here. As I type this, my keyboard app got killed 5 times already.

I also didn't see any other option in the WebView implementation setting other than the Android System WebView so everything is just strange.
[Android Software Development] feciku:
Bootloop after rebooting

Dear XDA Friends and Developer,

When I'm rebooting system, my device is done with bootloop now. I'm using: Redmi Note 4x with EvolutionX custom ROM, Magisk v21.0, and last update Bromite Systemless WebView today. HOW CAN I SOLVING THIS PROBLEM? HELP!! When I see Magisk Manager at OrangeFox vRII.O, I can't found anything about Bromite in the list. But, my device has bootloop, where system location that module do, so I can erase or repair it??
[Android Software Development] jacomail95:
Since the download is big and not always internet is stable, can you restructure the module the way osm0sis did with his Adreno Drivers Installer? So we download Bromite webview on our own and the module simply will install it through magisk, the module itself would be extremely smaller. Plus you would be free of the worry of updating the webview to follow original Bromite updates. Think about it, it's just an idea, but I think it's solid. Thank you for the effort put in the module :)

[Android Software Development] problemathic:
last module is totally working great and got rid of stock webview and replaced by only bromite webiew but the latest update breaks it! why during installation need to download required files? in my case after it prompts "downloading required files" and succesfully flashed in magisk then after bromite webview implementation in developer option is empty!!!

-i think you did this because someone says module is too big and sometime internet not stable but please its not a good idea! i even go to computer shop just to download anything s**ts! please return it like the previous version. last version works great

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

The latest update breaks the functionality of the module! why during installion of magisk it needs to download required files! after updating i checked on developer option and now its empty! reverted back to old version and now im back with bromite webview! personally for me i dont care if the given zip is big as long as it works. please revert the module just like before
[Android Software Development] DvineLord:
i installed v3.0 it downloaded the files but the log shows an issue with the webview folder so it couldn't the copy files.
[Android Software Development] clcombs262:
We're excited to be releasing version 3.1

Sorry for the massive bug introduced in v3.0 but 3.1 is confirmed working on AOSP, RR, LOS, and OOS (needs testing). For some reason, appropriate directory was not getting copied over

Changelog:

Fixed installer and boot scripts (finally!)

Reduced file size by downloading external resources separate

Attempt to support more webview installation scenarios
[Android Software Development] clcombs262:
Please check version 3.1

Unfortunately I do not recommend sticking with v2.1.1 (last fully offline flashable release) as it is missing several important script fixes
[Android Software Development] clcombs262:
Please check v3.1 it's fixed

Just requires internet connection now
[Android Software Development] clcombs262:
On older versions OOS was a known issue due to odd folder naming

Please try v3.1; it's only had minimal testing with OOS
[Android Software Development] DvineLord:
i installed v3.1 chrome webview is gone and it shows aosp webview only so i used root explorer to check filesize and it seems to be the bromite webview size. i think bromite webview is conflicting with aosp webview and aosp browser.

i could see this getting endorsement from bromite devs if u can knockout some of the kinks.
[Android Software Development] problemathic:
but bromite webview is on developer option? can we get other option to have offline installation! but great work. subscribed! will watch your project :good:
[Android Software Development] kos25k:
hello.i have installed bromite both in my Xiaomi RN5 stock Miui & RN4 with custom Pie rom, but when i test it according this video https://youtu.be/vrs3NEsxA0w but weird thing is that sometimes it works,but most times it don't.is there anything more i need to do?
[Android Software Development] problemathic:
the latest updates works fine in my redmi note 5 pro whyred running aosip
[Android Software Development] clcombs262:
For some strange reason on some ROMs even with a successful installation of the module it thinks it still has AOSP webview

Unfortunately the actual problem is unknown currently so there is no solution
[Android Software Development] clcombs262:
That would require maintaining 2 copies of the module, so no current plans to implement an offline installer
