[Magisk] OPO13R:
Thanks a lot @temporarium and @F3FFO , I followed your steps and successfully brought my phone back to life :D

While this is glady accepted, I'm still wondering about the error.. Is this something that can be fixed in the future, @F3FFO ? And also make Mulch's Webview module work?
[Magisk] temporarium:
Which of the two solutions worked?

Also, Mulch WebView works great on my A13 device.
[Magisk] OPO13R:
Actually, it was a combination of the two 😬

I wish I'd be as lucky as you are, it's probably due to the unique software architecture of the Pixel 🤷🏼‍♂️

It worked with Bromite's Webview back when it was still reliable; Mulch seems to break something.
[Magisk] temporarium:
Try it with the "official" Magisk maybe?
[Magisk] OPO13R:
That's not helping much I'm afraid.

Vanadium Webview didn't work either, so it's most likely an issue with the app itself.

After I rebooted the phone in safe mode, restored the boot.img and rebooted again, I'm still unable to select Vanadium System Webview as my main WebView under developer options. It's not showing up, yet I can see it in my app list.

I managed to make it work, likely in the most complicated (but safe) way ever.

1. Install Open WebView module via Magisk

2. Do NOT restart right away, instead deactivate the module for now.

3. Restart the phone.

4. (Re-)Enable the module in Magisk

5. Restart the phone.

6. Choose the (now available) xxx WebView in the developer menu.

After I re-enabled the Magisk Hide feature in Magisk Delta again (and rebooted) it stopped working again. So this MUST be an issue with the hiding feature.

Since I cannot select Open Webview as a superuser app, what should I do?

Hi. I only want to thank the Dev for this wonderful work and say that I'm using the module for some time and it works perfectly on A13. Tested on 4 different custom ROMs, AOSP based. Bromite works, Mulch I was using it until today. Now updated and change to Vanadium for testing. It's working too. Only for Info and many thanks for this good and helpful option 👌👌👌👌👌
[Magisk] spida_singh:
I had this same issue, I booted into safe mode, setup adb root OK, ran adb shell rm -r /data/adb/modules and got it back, thanks!
[Magisk] oldman20:
I choose mulch browser and working fine at least now with some apps daily use, but it doesn't have 2 option selectable like above screenshot, mulch replaced systemwebview, any way to bring selectable webview like that in next version?
[Magisk] smohanv:
Thanks for your suggestion. It must be something wrong with Xiaomi 12 Pro. I changed my phone to Pixel 7 Pro. It works very well with Bromite webview.
[Magisk] don_dolarson:
Thank you for this awesome mod !!

Flashed, choosed and downloaded Mulch, rebooted, updated through Neo Store (F-Droid client) and voila. The mod replaced stock WebView which was pre-installed by LineageOS 20, though it was freezed (root).

Is it possible to install Bromite and Vanadium WebView too, so I have all 3 installed simultaneously and can choose between them? Simply flash again 2 times and choose both Bromite and Vanadium or not possible?
[Magisk] Releece:
Thanks a lot for adding Mulch, as Bromite has been abandoned for months and is becoming a security risk.

Btw, you still forgot to edit the first sentence right under the title of your OP! It talks about changing fonts and it's the only thing that will be displayed when users are browsing threads, so it's keeping people away from this great module!
[Magisk] don_dolarson:
I've just flashed this mod over previously installed Mulch to see if it will add Vanadium next to it but no. You got to choose between them.

I can now see in f-droid that there's no Vanadium but Mulch update. OK since I can't find Vanadium in the store and the one installed is the latest version however, further investigation lead me to installed (since there's a Mulch update in store):

Android WebView. ~12,29KB, was about 100MB before flashing 1st time. System app.

Mulch WebView. 255MB. User app.

Vanadium WebView. 108MB. Systemless app.

Vanadium WebView Overlay. System app. Same size as Android WebView.

Vanadium WebView is the only one to choose in developer settings but hey, there's Mulch installed occupying 255MB. Looks like a mess to me.
[Magisk] :
Hi there, i've been using Webview manager as alternative so far, because it included ungoogled chromium.

Although the module doesn't work well and i can't get ungoogled chromium as my sys web view. Could you add ungoogled chromium to this module please? I want to use this for the privacy features, unless im uninformed and one of the options you guys provide are a better alternative ?

Any help s appreciated and love the beautiful contribution guys!

Have a good one
[Magisk] oldman20:
Do u have plan support KernelSu together with magisk? I can use you module in magisk, but not in kernelsu
[Magisk] Releece:
Mulch is a security-hardened open-source chromium browser, that uses many patches and altered settings many of which come from the Tor project, that increase security and privacy. So it should be even better than ungoogled chromium, although Mulch is specifically built to be the most secure browser.

There's also Mull by the same dev, that is based on Firefox's open-source core and uses many patches from the Tor Uplift project and Vanadium. It's built to be the most private browser, and now that Bromite is abandoned I think Mull, for now, is the #1 non-toe privacy browser. Unfortunately Mull doesn't have a webview, but they go hand in hand and give you the option to choose based on what you're doing.

They're all updated very often, every few days usually, it's a great dev, so I'd go for Mulch WebView and use Mull for your everyday browsing!
[Magisk] temporarium:
Thanks for your suggestions. The problem with Mull is that it only allows a limited subset of add-ons. I'll stick with Kiwi.
[Magisk] don_dolarson:
For more addons, go to the debug settings of Mull (About Mull and tap couple of times on Mull logo) and then look for a hidden addon menu in settings and add this.

Worth noting that many may be incompatible. Worth trying tho.
[Magisk] temporarium:

Sorry, @F3FFO for OT 🫤

Simple because many of them may work partially or not work at all.

Vanadium can be updated by installing the GrapheneOS Apps apk found here

[Magisk] Yeedatoy:
If you have any difficulty installing the update it's likely due to different signatures so you may have to install an xposed module like corepatch or AOSP mods to disable signature verification

[Magisk] xdalover69:
Hello, thanks a lot for this, I am looking for ungoogled chromium system webview.

Been trying out the webview manager module from androidacy, the module works but crashes as soon as its starts to download the webview.

I tried this one and i got bromite installed, which is a great relief, now i'm wondering, which one is more de googled? And which one is better for privacy ?

I found this listing : https://privacytests.org/android.html ,but can't find degoogled chromium in there, is Bromite as good as ungoogled chromium ? Better / worse ?

Will Ungoogled chromium be included into this module ?

Thanks a lot already for this great work. Much appreciated guys!

Best regards,

Pete
[Magisk] OPO13R:
Using Bromite in 2023 is not recommend, because development has stopped back in December 2022. It is UNSAFE to either use the browser or the webview atm.

Mull is maintained well afaik, I have been using Mull brower for a long time. Can't say anything about Vanadium state of development.

If you were looking for anything similar to Bromite browser, I can completely vouch for uazo's fork, he has also been in the dev team of Bromite.

Uazo is NOT developing/ releasing a custom webview, though.
[Magisk] asdf2345:
This made my phone bootloop. How do I fix it?
[Magisk] spida_singh:
Is this still valid as I installed the module and the apps app. It doesnt see my vanadium WebView install?
[Magisk] don_dolarson:
Could you tell us how you find Vanadium in GrapheneOS apps store? Because I can only see the Apps itself, for updating, and Auditor, Camera and PDF Viewer.
[Magisk] spida_singh:
Just a follow up

If you re flash the module it will update to the latest Vanadium GrapheneOS release.

So I will probably just reflash once a month to keep up to date.

No need for the GrapheneOS apps app.

Cheers
[Magisk] winstonma:
Thanks and it works

I would like to know how could I add some custom filter (e.g. Adguard filter) on the webview? Thanks

[Magisk] mGforCe:

[Magisk] bmmrq84:
Thank you @F3FFO for this useful module!

Tried to install it in my stock Pixel C and got a bootloop.

One solution that made it boot fine was to disable other vendor overlays that are in the tablet before installing the module, namely:

Dark

/system/vendor/overlay/SysuiDarkThemeOverlay.apk

Pixel

/system/vendor/overlay/Pixel/PixelThemeOverlay.apk

(Disabled through a de-systemizer or debloater app)

I would also like to add that the Mulch and Vanadium webview apk builds have different minSDKversion numbers:

Mulch min API 24 = Android 7

Vanadium min API 29 = Android 10

Hence, it was only possible to install Mulch in my Pixel C Stock rom Android 8.1 (webview apk installation after installing module and reboot, if i don't install the apk i am without webview in whole system - apps throw webview missing exceptions)

BOOTLOOP: cannot replace webviews by installing the module again without REMOVING it first. This can be done in magisk by removing module and rebooting or by flashing the module zip in recovery which will remove module before booting.

[Magisk] duven87:
HI,

I don't understand the module.

I have installed it correctly on my Pixel 4a with the latest build of Lineage+microg and when I install an app for example okcupid it keeps asking me for webview.

Also, no browser installs and being based on grapheneos (vanidium) and DivestOS (Mulch) components can't be found/installed as apk anywhere.

EDIT: I found the way to install Mulch Browser through FFUpdater with root installer, I set it as default browser but it does not change anything :( (also tested with chromium, vanidium/Mulch module option)

Can anyone shed some light on whether the module can still be used?

I'm on kb2003 (8T), android 13, OxygenOS 13.1

It does seem like it's not maintained anymore? But maybe someone can confirm if it still works.

I got some problems rn, but I'm not sure if it's due to the module hence I'd like to hear another persons opinion.

It only enables the Webview, you update from F-droid. Latest Mulch just came out today.

[Magisk] InContext:
Anyone else have issues when installing on Android 14?

I'm using HyperOS, Magisk canary, no kernelSU, and when it installed it's a lot quicker (I'm thinking it's not downloading anything) than it was on A13.

I can try installing it, I'm choosing Vanadium, and it will install successfully, but go and check the webview and there is nothing there.

I'll install it again over the top, again installs successfully, this time there will be Android System Webview 117.

If I check the installed apps, search for webview, there is the Vanadium overlay, and the Android webview, that's it.

In the module folder (data/adb/modules/...):

main folder - there is an unsigned.apk

overlays folder - mulch and vanadium overlays 28 and 29

system folder - app - it drills down through Vanadium webview folders but results in no apks where they might? live, in arm/arm64

system folder - product - overlay with the webviewoverlay apk

If I was able to get the Vanadiumwebview apk and put it in the arm64 folder, would it then install it?

I think the above was either something I did, or something was affecting the downloading, as I had to reinstall the OS and this time, everything went as expected, with delays for downloading as expected during installation.
[Magisk] Biosy.Baris:
JFYI, if u have a pi-hole or Ad Guard Home as DNS Resolver on home wifi the installation might not work. It was mentioned in this thread before but the dev didn't change it yet. Maybe he forgot. I was able to install via mobile internet.

If someone has problems with the Webview, you can activate Developer Mode and change the Webview there. With root you have a couple of options...

The op should change the link to github... newest version is in magisk module repo but not in the link provided.

i love u all
[Magisk] james8076:
HI,

I see that on the github but it seems that f-droid does not have the app anymore?

ATTENTION! There is a bug that still needs to be fixed where sometimes you may find that the installed webview doesn't work. To fix this bug you need to manually install the webview, to do this just:

- go to fdroid and re-download the latest version
- manually download the apk and install it

This the DivestOS Repo where the Mull browser and WebView are. But you cannot install as a new Webview without this Magisk module - you can, but it has to be a priv-app and every time you update, you have to do it again. Thats what the Magisk module is for.

And additionally, support Mull would be fantastic as well. It's the most popular Android Mozilla based fork. Same maintainer as Mulch.

Thank you very much for your work!
[Magisk] Biosy.Baris:
Cromite and Mull have no webview. Bromite had and Mull is from the same organisation as Mulch. Use Mulch System WebView.

Despite saying that it seems to be likely thatt Cromite will release a WebView soon. They are working on it.

edit: Mull is a privacy browser while Mulch is a security browser in collaboration with the Tor team. It makes sense for only Mulch to have a webview.

Context: I use ACC module, set up to shutdown at 15% and stop charging at 85%, I charge it with a 5V 2A charger. The phone was discharging faster than expected when the battery was lower than 20%. Knowing the issue this device had, I've always been very cautious, I wouldn't let my battery go above 36 degrees C.

Last night I went to bed left my phone with 20%, activated plane mode and battery saver, usually doing that my phone would idle drain up to 2% overnight, the phone was shutdown at 15% when I was sleeping. So, I woke up, the phone had the typical grey screen of death most of you have probably seen before around here, I rapidly tried to restart it and it worked. After that I charged it and went with my day. This afternoon I started heavy tasking on my phone and the battery went from 50% to 10% in 7 min, ACC shut it down (no grey screen this time). I immediately plug it in after this second incident, and it charged from 10% to 50% in less than 10 minutes with the 5v 2a charger.

Other than that the phone works fine, the phone behaves the most stable when 50-80% charged. The only thing that might have sped up the death of my phone could have been that I was using an intense undervolt for my GPU till today, made by the Mochi Kernel developer whose phone died last year.

this is the undervolt table:

CLK uV

692 194

675 194

585 125

499 70
