So I did this once before and it ended up with a few apps force quitting on startup. Looking at a log cat it seems like they were unable to open android system webview I tried installing that form the app store with no dice.
Does anyone here know if it's possible to remove the google bloat and just install everything from the play store out of the things you need?
Stock OOS already has Google apps included. What exactly are you trying to accomplish by flashing Gapps over Google apps that are already installed?
This has worked with me GApps .
I keep getting an error when updating Android System Webview this happened recently.
Anyone know why?
P.S. I have chrome disabled and I don't want to enable chrome. I use firefox.
Nevermind it resolved itself.
I'm seeing more and more people use Android phones Google-free by not installing gapps and getting all their applications through alternative sources like F-Droid. When I look at the custom ROMs for the Essential Phone, I see most have gapps baked in.
Just curious if anyone has experience on the PH-1 without gapps or Google service. What ROM are you using? Any issues?

Yes I'd love to know if anyone has gone microG, Xposed FakeGapps on Oreo with a custom rom?
Also if anyone has used Terminal Debloater on Stock Oreo and doing ok?
Thanks
Does Generic System Image come with Gapps? if not then you can use that.

I was thinking that as well. In fact, perhaps the deodex ROM is without gapps. I'll have to ask in that thread.

If that reply was for me, I'm asking more about Custom Roms.

It has been a long process, but I am most of the way there. Used deodexed Oreo Stock. Had to use Tingle manually to patch the framework.jar to get microg running. Haven't debloated yet, but most of the stock apps are disabled at this point. Most apps I use are from F-Droid. Using it as DD now.
Took several days to discover the NFC point is very narrow at the bottom center of the back. I had thought I had broken something. :silly:
I think I'm 99.9% there with CarbonROM LOL...
UnifiedNip is registerd in system, but this section I can't checkmark, even after rebooting. I was using the latest Preview GMSCore, I'll flash the rom over and try with the Stable GMSCore and see if it makes any difference and report back.
I have Xposed, FakeGapps, Magisk 16.7, Magisk Module for F-Droid Privilege, and Debloater (Terminal), and F-Droid. Everything working pretty good, Debloater systemlessly removed some Gapps I didn't want, Browser, Calendar, Gallery...

I don't have "UnifiedNlp has known location" checked even though Satstat and OSM clearly show the location.
I am using Core -127 from NanoDroid 17.7.
Debloater is up next.
Well I just wiped/formatted, flashed back the Oreo fastboot image, now ready to flash in carbonrom and try this as I said with the stable versions of microg...

How was your experience with FakeGapps? I kept getting Null pointer exceptions. Tried v1.1 and 2.0.

Where did you see, get this at?
Ok UnifiedNIp is registered in system - [Checked]
To make everything work correctly, you'll want to push the GmsCore.apk to /system/priv-app/GmsCore/GmsCore.apk and then extract the lib/ folder from the GmsCore.apk to /system/priv-app/GmsCore/lib - otherwise the bundled libraries will not be found by the app and the maps library will crash apps.
If you don't know how to extract from an .apk, just rename to .zip, then copy out the lib directory.
I did have Xposed modules installed for this, so I will go back one more time, wipe it all again, and this time, see if I get it again.

I had the FakeGapps errors in the Xposed Log [systemless version 90.2-beta3]. Tried several things. Interesting you didn't experience them.
I was always able to get UnifiedNLP to registered. It just doesn't show that it has a known location in the microg self check, but SatStat, OSM and others show it.

Xposed showed a notification, I mean, you just looked in the logs, or how did you first know?
What is SatStat, OSM and others?
How are you installing microg? I just installed the apk is all, these versions and in this order;
Services Core - com.google.android.gms-12221403.apk
Services Framework Proxy - com.google.android.gsf-8.apk
Store (FakeStore release) - com.android.vending-16.apk
DroidGuard Helper - org.microg.gms.droidguard-14.apk
This is how I intalled microg on another phone and rom and it always worked.
So you have UnifiedNIp is registered in system - checked? For some reason I had to do the steps I mentioned to get it registered... hmm

I noticed I had an issue with FakeGapps because the MicroG self check showed that sig spoofing failed. At some point after that, I found the Xposed logs showing many errors for Null Pointer exception. I searched around but could not find anyone else with the issue. I submitted an issue on github.
SatStat, OSM are open source apps that will show location on a map. They are able to locate me so I know it is working using UnifiedNlp Settings (shows in the Setting > Location settings).
I installed microG using NanoDroid 17.7 using the full package.
How did you install Xposed?
Ok on NanoDroid 17.7...

I installed Xposed Framework 90.2-beta3 systemless through Magisk.
I'd use the Xposed Installer - XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
But I've learned a trick with it, flash rom and magisk, then install Xposed as the first app, and install the framework from within Xposed 'Install/Update' click cloud on right...
P.S. I'm not using Xposed any longer since it will break SafetyNet check....
Welcome to the XDA home of Webview Manager by Androidacy
Read about it on our blog:https://www.androidacy.com/tag/webview-manager/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 installSystemful install is not supported and we currenly have no plans to change that.
ConfigurationConfiguration is done during install, thanks to @Zackptg5 magnificent Volume-Keys selector with a touch of our own spice.

Not sure, if this is relates to your module. I installed the module, but in developer settings, where I can choose the webview engine, bromite is greyed and it is written, it is not active for the user "me"... What should I do? I am on Linage for MicroG 15.1
doesnt seem to work on pixels. i think it is because the package name for webview is different on them.
what this module do?

disable chrome
It's a preferred webview package and will be used no matter what if installed

Package name being different
I wouldn't be surprised if Google blocks it though; the stock ROM probably only will allow Google packages

Exactly what it says
anyway to exclude the actual bromite webview from the zip and script it detect architecture and download correct version and install as system since the filesize is awfully large 150mb+!? i guess that'd make it only work in magisk manager and not twrp flash.

Well it was kind of the opposite. I disabled the default webview (Lineage OS) and installed the Bromite Module afterwards. Now I re-enabled webview, which was no longer the default, but Bromite. So it works, if you don't disable default webview, because Bromite is a replacement. Never had chrome installed btw.
Problem is the version is kept anonymous.
So there is no easier way to find what version of Bromite u r flashing.
No details in Magisk module, nothing.
I mean, I know u can't keep the browser up-to-date, but that doesn't mean, u need to hide it too. It dumb thing to do.

We don't hide anything; the app version is easily found under app info

It was chosen to do it this way because the last attempted way broke versions 1.4-2.0, we just aimed for a stable version
Thanks for the feedback though, we'll definitely consider it in v3.0

Because it doesn't
It de-systemized chrome so it won't act as a preferred webview

Weird, I installed this module on Xz premium (stock pie) but it's not showing in selection of webviews, in developer settings ,not there at all.
I use Google-free Chinese version with NanoDroid installed.
I don't think it's module problem, it appears in list of system apps,but system doesn't recognise it as Webview.
Edit: just tried to push apk into system, results are the same.
Theoretically if I repack apk with the same name as android Webview maybe system will recognise it.
Good evening, first friend, excuse my English, I use Google translator! I installed on my Xiaomi S2 Android 9 Miui10 and everything OK. Only application that gave bad was OLX. Reminding friends that I installed Magisk and used the Titanium backup to freeze the Google View.
Not working on the few AOSP / LOS ROMs for the OnePlus 3 I've tried.
Module installs but there's no Bromite webview under developer options
Anyway I have to uinstall it because I couldn't open Gmail and other apps behaved bad, i.e exit itself.
Waited few days, rebooted but nothing worked.
Device: 1+5, Magisk, Twrp, Oxygen Os Latest
Am a Magisk fanboiz, always got root with latest version of Magisk (which is 21.4 I believe). After upgrading to Android 11 (One UI 3.0) I got a few issues. Among them, some of Google apps appear to be crashing all the time. I've been frequently using Maps, Auto, Drive and some others however those 3 mentioned always crash. I was able to trace the log and looks like it has something to do with Cronet. Somehow the stream API doesnt support Cronet Engine or something. GMS isnt able to load Cronet Engine apk or something.
I believe there are more having this problem.
Gmail and Play Store still works though.
Any suggestions?
Been googling for some time I only found this issue on microg page https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/1252 which appears to be similar to my problem. However I dont use microg at all. Only stock GMS (!?)
Actually I used to have microg for YouTube Vanced then I decided to go for a root version so no longer microg.
So am I the only one having this issue?
