[MAGISK] [MODULE] Webview Manager

[androidacy]

Could you provide the link of this version?

It used to be a smooth installation. Now It can't detect volume key.
Also, new version removed offline install, So that users can enjoy the slow download.

Slow downloads exist mainly to ensure adequate bandwidth for everyone.

At any rate downloads are only capped at 1 megabytes per second, and most apks are 67-80mb - meaning you're only waiting a minute and a half. This limit will be raised in a future API release.

Also we're aware of the volume key issue but we're unsure exactly why it's so inconsistent. If you could drop us a line on Telegram, we'd be happy to troubleshoot further!

For anyone having trouble with this module like i have...You can try LSPosed module AnyWebView. It works great on my phone (Lineage OS). I can switch WebView whenever necessary through developer options

A simple how to would be good I couldn't find anything about setting it up through fox's. (OnePlus 8t oxygen os12)

The latest Bromite Webview manager allows you to install Bromite WebView as a system app, without uninstalling or disabling existing Android WebView. Both can be present in a system at the same time and you can select whichever WebView you want under Developer Options > WebView Implementation.

The WebView Manager is somewhat finicky - Yes/No options can be made during the installation, through the volume keys. In the end, the most important aspect is to choose installing Bromite WebView when presented with the option. Whether you also install a browser is not important. There is no UI for the WebView itself. Once installed successfully, reboot then go to Developer Options and choose Bromite WebView. That's it.

Later updates (from F-Droid or other alternative Stores) do NOT necessarily require the same steps - rather they can be installed as any other updates.
The zip file of Bromite System WebView can also be downloaded from GitHub and installed through Magisk (the initial set-up).

If, at a later time, you chose to uninstall it, you need to go through the same process in Bromite WebView Manager but, this time you need to choose "No" when presented with the option of installing the system webview.

We had a knowledgebase but somewhere in a server transfer in a long ago era, goblins seem to have devoured it.

I'll mention prioritizing reinstating this to our website team, though, thanks for the feedback!

Wow AnyWebView just works. Webview Manager has gone awol since at least one year. If you're lucky enough to manage to download it, it wont work. Good to find an alternative.

Reporting bugs to us instead of just complaining on XDA works wonders, just saying

Also, not to be a tease or anything, but we're battle testing v11 in QA right now, and it's shaping up to be a pretty solid release. More info when the devs decide to give it to us lowly moderators, or a blog post comes out, whichever comes first

Hi, is your API is down? When I tried to do an offline install through instructions from 2021 on this page, it didn't work. Also does disabling this module in magisk (so that I don't have too many modules always running) also remove bromite systemwebview? I'm on an AOSP 11 based rom btw

An in-development version of WebView Manager was accidentally released due to a misconfiguration. Please redownload it if you've downloaded any time in the past 2-3 days.

Besides that v10 removed offline support for the most part, but in development v11 has readded back reworked support via configuration.

wish the devoper would host the latest updates on any other repo besides androcity.

They're more focused on trackers, ads and monetization then their actual service, to a point it ruins any appeal to want to deal with them.

I apologize that you feel that way, but it is our module and therefore makes sense to be exclusive to our repo. If you have any specific feedback, we're all ears, but the monetization aspect is necessary to pay our staff and run our infrastructure.

So I just tried to convince a repo change for a module thats actually a proprietary offering from the very same repo.

Well thats embarrassing. Guess I will have eggs for breakfast, seeing as its all over my face.

Thank you for the much needed reality check

@androidacy I installed this module successfully, but after rebooting, Chrome is still present and the webview page in dev options still shows only Chrome and (disabled) android webview. I see bromite and the bromite webview listed in apps. Can anything be done to get this working? Anything I can do to troubleshoot? I have an old HTC 10 running Oreo 8.0 and the version of webview manager is 10 (guess 11 isn't out still). I've used magisk modules to debloat and degoogle everything else. Chrome (as webview) is the one remaining piece of the puzzle. Any help on this would be appreciated!

@androidacy I discovered where it stores logs and it has some concerning errors there. Maybe that'll help solve the problem I'm running into? Log file attached.

android 13 is not yet supported. Dev work on modules has been paused while the project lead took a break for mental health reasons but should be resuming soon.

That is strange. Can you still reproduce?
