Google using ugly UI on chromium-based browsers - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure why, but a while back, Google websites started using the antiquated UI on my device for no reason. If I use a non-chromium-based browser such as monument browser,I don't have this issue. Is there any fix for this?
I'm using a fire hd 8 2017 for reference.

Because the Amazon System WebView (com.amazon.webview.chromium) is useless and ugly Amazon's user agent. Uninstall or disable it.
You can switch to desktop user agent or install Android System WebView (com.google.android.webview) as a system app (root required)

Yes. Google windriver. Something with Intel I believe. But I use the calculator and love it. I really hope android goes into this direction with some of its apps. That in my option would be great for multitasking. Kudos to the developer for discovering how to do this without root though.

These apps are really cool. Thanks for the heads up... The air calc I've put into my ADWEX dock and I can use it on any screen. Stick it definately works with YouTube...I'll have to see what else it does.
this would be nice. Maemo on my N900 already does this and ya don't know how nice it is to swap screens.

Troubles with Adaway

I try to install Adaway on my Z1 and there's some troubles I've never found using this app.
Using Chrome, you can see a black side where the ad would be. In addition, you can see it doesn't load the ads in stead of remove it.
Anyone else with this problem?
PS: sorry for the image's size, it's late for editing it.

I don't think so, on other devices like Elephone P7000 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (with AOSP rom) it removes this annoying blank space.

Yes, but I prefer using Chrome thanks to Chrome Pie, bookmarks and historial synchronization with PC, etc.

Pi-Hole setup on Android | DNS block everything

Hello,
Currently I'm using my Galaxy S7 edge (rooted) like a router. Now I am looking for a way to block everything ad related on this network.
- websites
- YouTube
- apps
Also social media and search engine ads are unwelcome.
Is this possible and if yes, how?
Thanks

Install apps of unknown sources

In my shield pro 2019 there is no switch visible to allow the installation of apps of unknown sources.
I have developer options enabled already.
How can I install apps of unknown sources?
Can you just install filelinked? I've got most my apps using it
I'm late, but it is Settings - Device Preferences - Security & restrictions - Unknow sources
Sent from my Nord using XDA Labs
I've tried to use web download on the Analiti app by accessing apkpure and bringing up an app I have on other android devices. It will not download then I found that BlueMail and Filelinked are "not compatable" from Nvidia yet watched videos on YouTube that were made up to just a couple months ago showing this being done. The only thing I can think of is firmware upgrade 8.2.1 as of 11/16 is what is causing this. I'm wondering myself if there is a workaround or how to downgrade back to the last firmware if anyone has any input on this?
Looks like the Shield TV is locked down like chastity belt, going to be returning mine back to Best Buy. What a rip, considering Fire TV cube is half the price.
At least 8.2.2 installs from unknown sources fine.

Google Assistant problem on TV box transformed to Android TV

Hi,
I have succeeded in transforming my RK3229 tv box into an Android TV by following this tutorial: https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/de...onversion-from-stock-android-to-android-tv-os
Summary:
- edit build.prop, add “tv_core_hardware.xml” and “tv_features.xml”
- install Android TV version of Google Play Store & Google Play Services
- install Android TV Launcher
I have also installed Live channel+CosmiDVR for watching IPTV, it is working properly now except one problem: I cannot open a channel by using Google Assistant.
When I say something like "open HBO" or "open channel 1", Google assistant always returns "không thay kenh do" (mean: "couldn't find that channel")
I think that it needs some extra apk files but I don't know which they are.
What do I have to do now ?

UPDATE: now it is running well.
Just install OpenGApps to your TV and everything should be fine.

What version of Android are you running?

How to check it "successfull"? or just download app from Google Play without issue?
