LG V20 Oreo stock.
I have previously tested a couple 3.x versions that installed OK but did not get detected as a webview because of the known stock issue.

This new one installs but after restarting it makes the phone boot very slowly (I know this because I use LiveBoot that shows a logcat live view on boot).

At some point the phone hangs after about 40 minutes of booting.

Is there any way to troubleshoot this? Would the bromitewebview-debug.log help you?

Also as a sidenote I have a firewall on my phone and for Magisk to download the extra files the "Root apps" option needs to be enabled in the firewall.
Thing is I did not have this enabled and when downloading the extra files the Magisk install script would just move to the next stage without giving any error messages about not downloading anything.

to anyone wanting to use bromite webview, but has issues bc they have a oneplus running stock oos (like me), there is an xposed module just released called AnyWebview, and if you have bromite webview installed from fdroid for instance, the module will allow you to select it in dev settings. all I did was systemize bromite webview, and used the module to select it. I've wanted to use the mod in OP for a long time now but couldn't get it to work with my setup, and with this method I'm good to go.

V4 should work OOB on OOS, that particular one was specifically tested

I need a logcat preferably

You're the third user to report this. I have an inkling what may be the issue here but need confirmation. Easiest way for me to help you is to join our Telegram group @Inlmagisk

And I really need to add file not download error handling lol



(BTW I'm the actual dev behind the module. The only one)

Hey guys, Alexandria here

Just to let you know, I'm the actual developer of this module and I'll be more active in this thread from now on

Please remember I'm doing this in my spare time, balancing college and work

Any and all errors should have install logs and logcat if needed

Thanks for being awesome guys!!!!

P.S. Telegram group is at @Inlmagislk, I'm more active on Telegram than XDA

Thanks. I am using the xposed module mentioned above currently since it works.
Did you get any logcats from the other 3 users? I prefer to try the solution you mentioned since getting one will take my phone out of commision for at a couple of hours so I must do it at night.
If you don't have any logcats then I can do it tonight.

Having same issue on my Poco F1 running Pixel xp, so far only way around I've found is to uninstall Chrome, then Bromite will be automatically selected. Problem is as soon as you reinstall it, it deactivates Bromite again and puts itself as the webview. So I can't have Chrome installed it seems.

(You can't activate it on settings because it too is grayed out.)

Still need someone for x86?
Tested on LinageOS 14.1 (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1) with latest Magisk and seems to work. Tested with WebView Test.

Running lineage pie and since the last update, certain apps crashed constantly. Couldn't figure out what the problem was until I deleted this module.

Install bromite webview as a user app, the boot script probably isn't running

Running OnePlus 5T OOS 9.0.8 and version 4.0.0 of this module and it works AFTER installing the Bromite WebView as a user app. That appears to let the boot script run. I was able to uninstall Bromite updates afterwards and it continues to work. No additional Xposed modules required.

Bravo!

    Welcome to the XDA home of Webview Manager by Androidacy

    Read about it on our blog:​

    What is this?

    This magisk module allows to install several webviews and browsers, replacing the stock one with more privacy friendly/better performing browser and/or webview. By default this module will install Bromite.

    Can I use older versions?​

    No.

    Why use different webview or default browser?

    These webviews are de-googled or more privacy friendly, or just more updated, or better optimized. Because it's better than Google or AOSP webview.

    Why not other methods?

    These usually involve directly modifying system and are less versatile and more incompatible. In addition, thanks to auto updates and dynamic system detection, you know you get the right files without extra bloat.

    Systemful install

    Systemful install is not supported and we currenly have no plans to change that.

    Configuration

    Configuration is done during install, thanks to @Zackptg5 magnificent Volume-Keys selector with a touch of our own spice.

    Getting support

    Zip /sdcard/WebviewManager/logs, and send along with detailed description of the issue including device name, ROM, and Android version.

    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 ;)

    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

    Thanks, @the_Pan, 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!
    From now on older versions are available here:
