I'm running Lineage 17.1 Nightly without GAAPs. And the AOSP camera is terrible. Every photo comes out blurry.
I tried installing Gcam V.2.2.1 from Arnova8G2 and OOS camera apks from mirror apk but nothing works. After install I get the same problem, "Camera Keeps Stopping".
Does anyone know of a work around for this. I can't get any camera apk working, (other than the stock pre-installed AOSP camera)
You can't just use the OOS Camera. You need a bunch of other libraries and such to make the OOS camera work.
Once I find a GCam that everything works on I tend to just stick with it. On 17.1 I'm using, 7.2_GCam_Urnyx05-v2.1.apk.
Look here, download GCam from here. (I would start by trying 2.1 since it works for me.)
Other versions are here if you want to try them.
Next to the 2.1 download click the configs link, scroll down to OnePlus 6/6T. These are XML files, I would download the first one natural / noiseless. You can try others later if you want. In internal storage of your device create a folder called GCam, inside that folder create one called Configs7. Place that XML that you just downloaded (oneplus6t-more-naturally-and-noiselessly-v2.xml) inside Configs7.
Now when you open the camera double tap the black area near the button that takes a picture, and select that XML.

Thank you so much! I did followed everything you said, but I still have the same problem. The app force closes before I get the chance to add the config. I tried enabling all of the permissions from "app info" along with allowing it to "modify system settings". But it still force closes

Just out of curiosity, Does installing WebView fix it? ? (You can uninstall it if it doesn't).
Im trying to think of what might be different since this works for me. Some apps require webview and will crash immediately if you dont have it. The LOS browser should work for this, but I've found for many apps it doesn't. There is a a library that is required for WebView on some ROMs (like Omni), but Ive never needed it on LOS.

Sorry for the late reply. I installed webview, but that didn't change anything.
It's also worth noting that after flashing Lineage, I lost my TWRP recovery. I then flashed Magisk through Lineage's supplied recovery.
I wish there was a simple solution for this. I came from OmniRom and Omni had the stock OOS camera and it was great! But without GAAPS installed, Omni is way too glitchy for my liking. That's the only reason why I'm using Lineage, to avoid random app force closures....guess I didn't avoid it entirely with the camera issue

Wait.... Several things in there. So did you use the MicroG version of Omni then? As Omni can use Gapps if you use the regular build of Omni? Next did you just flash LOS straight over Omni? This maybe giving you issues. Also that GCam folder must be in place otherwise it won't work, you did that step right? As for recovery, yes, you have to flash TWRP after LOS to keep TWRP.
I have a Lineage Install Guide here. The second post has the cliff notes version if you want. However the long version does have some extra stuff in it, like passing safety net and such.

Yes, I tried the micro-g version on Omni...twice. I haven't tested the standard version yet. When I flashed Omni, however, I didn't flash it over OOS. It was a clean flash.
I did not flash Lineage over anything either.
Yes I have that GCam folder in my internal storage, as instructed.
Appreciate the info, I'll check out your install guide!
Edit: Worth mentioning that when I used Omni. Both times, there was a broken google search bar at the top of the app home screen page. Couldn't get rid of widget, use it, nor move it. It was stuck in place, and no longer said "Google". It was an entirely blank search bar.

Guys I know it sounds crazy but sometimes when my phone is in charge and connected to WiFi my apps gets deleted. Now this happens as soon as play store updates some apps. And the crazier part is that my data stays intact. All I need to do is install the apk/download from play store and it's the same as before. The most affected app is Facebook, and then WhatsApp plus and canary (please don't tell because it's modded cuz Facebook and chrome canary aren't modded but same results). Now I'm on Lineage os the latest build with elementalx kernel. And no apps like greenify. I'm on the 43 variant(Indian) with open gapps (mini) and I clean flashed it.
The log I took was just after I realised that my apps had gone(not sure exactly when they were uninstalled but right after I realised) just unzip the file and you should have it.
AND YES THE POST SOUNDS CRAZY SO PLEASE DON'T TELL THAT. -_-

Same thing happened in resurrection remix latest build.
Whatsapp uninstalled automatically. But the data remains intact. I only installed apk of whatsapp and get whatsapp as i leaved.
Apps are also crashing in r.r.
If anyone needs more details am willing to help,
It's related to the external-SD camera fix

This is not a ROM related problem, the same happened to me when I used the ExtSD_Fix_rw-signed-v1.9b.zip which you can find in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-motorola-camera-t3596659
I couldn't find out why the script in that zip causes apps to uninstall randomly when you reboot the device, but I corrected using this fix for the external-sd write for the camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/fix-motorala-camera-write-to-externalsd-t3498573 instead of that.
Also you have to use the regular moto camera ported which you can find on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-camera-t3540473 but you have to manually delete the com.motorola.*** .jar files on /system/framework/
I made a zip that makes the instalation of the camera and the deletion of the com.motorola.*** .jar files automatically but undfortunately I can't post links that are outside the XDA forums yet. With that you'll only have to apply the fix for the external-sd manually

Your'e welcome!
Also you better try this on a clean install
Hello, I have this strange problem I am using RRN 5.8.5 version on my oneplus 3. And my apps randomly gets deleted from the phone. At random times I try to look for the app and its gone. Like youtube gmaps even google keyboard some times gets deleted??? Can some one explain me whats going on ? One of my theories is that when the app ties updating it gets deleted and does not reinstall.

I have the same issue on LineageOs 14.1 on my moto G4 plus.
So according to your post because I used the moto camera zip file and the sdcard fix, I've formatted system, dalvik cache and cache, reinstalled lineageos, addonsu and Gapps but I still have applications that disapear (F-Droid for example). Note: I haven't reinstalled any moto camera app.
So if you have an idea ?

That's because the sdcard fix is what triggers apps to disapear, try a fresh install (formatting data also) and do not use the fix but DO reinstall moto camera, nothing changed for you because your permissions are not defined in the system partition.
I guarantee nothing but try this moto camera, it worked for me because I made it for me, but it implements the latest apk of the moto camera that is available and gets the writing permissions for the sd and does not make apps to dissapear.
I bought a UHS sd to use it as internal storage and do not worry for external permissions ever again but I remember i got the permissions when the sd was FAT32 formatted, and it happened without doing anything but flashing it.
I can't post links to external sources in XDA so here's the key for download it from MEGA just paste it to the end of mega .co .nz /

thanks a lot !
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?

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

I KNOW I'M ASKING A LOT FROM YOU GUYS, BUT I CAN'T RISK LOOSING DATA AS THIS IS MY MAIN DEVICE.
I'm presently on PR1 rom which was ported to our devices by @GtrCraft which is crazy stable. Any minor bugs that exist can be overcome easily by a simple reboot!!
I really wanted to install this as this room is based on pr2.
Pls also tell if this rom has inbuilt pixel launcher integration for recents. Lack of it can be a deal breaker as this was the only reason I reverted from arrow rom. I need all the Google pixel features as I think I'm addicted to those.
THANKS AND SORRY FOR TROUBLING YOU GUYS!!!
Ok...you know you can just do a nandroid backup of your current ROM and be literally ironclad safe if anything goes wrong?
Just hit "Backup" in TWRP and backup System, System Image, Data (excl. storage), Cache, Boot, (and EFS and Persist just to be safe).
Then flash PR2 to your heart's content and test it out yourself. If it ****s up in any way, reboots randomly, texts your ex, begins running missile launch codes or anything else you don't like......go reboot back to TWRP, "Restore", and choose your backup. Back to how it was before like a time machine.
Why are you still using gsi when we have stable pie rom. You can install pixel launcher with piee recents and suggestion in any rom just so you know. Here are the screenshots from arrow 9.0

For the roms like Arrow Pie, you have to enable the pie recents (labled "swipe up from home button") somewhere in the settings. I think it's at the very bottom in System or something.
For the space issue though, if you don't have an SD card I'd just back everything up to your computer via USB and then backup. Then you can pull the backup off (to your computer) and have that ready in case anything catastrophic happens.

Gesture navigation are disabled by default you can enable it in system - gesture
But default launcher is quickstep if you want pixel launcher with working actions and search bar and apps suggestion in recent try either of the following ways.
I am using aroma gapps with arrow os 9.0 i flashed pixel launcher , action service and digital well-being through aroma installer after that you have to paste pixel framework file in vendor->overlay.
If you want a simple procedure there is a magisk module in telegram group that installs pixel launcher ,pixel sounds and pixel boot animations.
Both files can be found in arrow os telegram group. And don't use stock gapps they are not recommended they replace camera libs and camera give issue after flashing them use aroma instead
Thanks.. That'll do.. ??

Best ROM Currently (11/2018)
Look at the date above. This is for current, relevant info. I'm looking for people's opinions on the best ROMs right now. Things to consider: speed & functionality, & whatever else you think is important. There aren't many options at all these days.
Please chime in & let's get this debate going!
I'll go first. I plan on updating this post as I try more. BTW the big reason I created this thread is to save people time. I spent at least a week now trying to get a functional & fast (or at least usable) ROM. ICS, which is the last ver of Android the manufacturer supports, is just too old to consider an option, in my opinion. So I tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t3318496 last & it's just way too slow for me. I did the bigwheelie partition increase, but honestly I don't think that's necessary for most of us (& it took me a long time!). & It takes forever to read each thread & hundreds of posts inside them to get up to date regarding these ROMs...just to find out something doesn't work. People often aren't nice about repeat questions & expect you to read through hundreds of pages...Im the opposite! I want to save you time & give you an up to date summary of ROM options & what to expect. I also found out the hard way that Google Play doesn't work on tduros Marshmallow ROM. Not his fault, darn Google. BUT there's MicroG as an alternative.
So there you have my first review:
KatKiss KatchMellow is waaaay to slow for me. Gapps doesn't work (tablet will keep restarting), but MicroG is a Google Play alternative.
I'll try out older ROMs next to see if speed gets any better & report back...
UPDATE:
I exhaustively tried getting microg to work on both KatKiss KatchMellow & Lollipop, but finally gave up. I'm sure its possible, but I ran out of time & patience.
I did however end up with a pretty fast solution: KatKiss Lollipop with Fdroid for my app store, and via that I installed DavCal (to tie into my Google Calendars) & Simple Calendar that displayed this. Many apps I wanted worked. Some not but I found an alternative. MX player plays videos fine & theres a million audio apps. Id recommend this.
Thank you for this. I also came here to find the best and fastest ROM but was overwhelmed by the number of comments to sift through. I have KatKiss 6.0.1 with playstore but no other Google apps. It's a bit slow. I'm gonna try KatKiss Lollipop with FDroid.
If anybody finds a solution to have google play store and no constant bootloping.... I've tried Katkiss 6.01, 5 and now went down to Omnirom kitkat 4.4 they all reboot constantly with google play store
I'm using Tims katsmallow. Gapps is an absolute no-go. I tried microg and ended up with the same bootloop/reboot after installing YouTube. I'm currently using no gapps and f-droid. It works fine, and functional. I want to use the chromecast, and that's not functional. I have seen some reference to CM or even lineage existing for the 101. I can't track it down though. I'm going to dig into that next, maybe even compile a build of lineage if it ever existed.

We never had lineage. I think the newest CM was all the way back to 10.3. Our TWRP is now very outdated and that may cause problems flashing any newer ROMs
Yeah, I find references to lineage, but it appears that it never was built. I found CM 10.2, and am considering flashing it...but I'm fairly sure it won't be any better than Tims latest build. It would be nice if we could convince him to do one last build for us, but it seems fairly clear that he is done.

Hi, inspired by your comments I undusted my old TF101 and brought it back to life.
Objective: To have a working tablet for my children to play.
Restrictions: Tablet must be responsive and easy to use. Ads should be eradicated or reduced to a minimum. Tablet must not auto-reboot nor crash.
Initial state: Rooted tablet with TWRP recovery and Timduru's Marsmallow (random reboot problem) ROM installed. Linux computer with adb tools installed. A microSD (FAT32) holding every zip file I needed to flash.
Procedure:
Step 1. I've wiped everything (system, dalvik, cachè), all, using TWRP.
Step 2. Kind of followed Jan's guide at KCORE.ORG. (Read it here).
------ I did install Timduru's last Android 6 (a.k.a. Marshamallow) ROM (v34 from 2017). (Available here).
------ I skipped Super SU 2.52 from Timduru's (not sure whether it was a good idea or not).
------ I did not install any gapps.
------ Flashed F-droid (NanoDroid-fdorid and NanoDroid-patcher zips. I used the latest I found, 20.3.2018208). It was actually Nanolx's NanoDroid (Available here). It might be important to mention that when I selected Timduru's ROM to be flashed using TWRP, it asked me whether I wanted to add more zips to the flashing process; so I added both NanoDroid files to the queue (but skipped Super Su because I didn't want it to be flashed).
It took some time to finish the flashing process. Once it did I wiped dalvik and cachè, and rebooted.
----- Tablet booted just fine. When it finished I immediately rebooted to recovery (TWRP).
----- Then I flashed the last Super Su version I could find (v2.82-201705271822). The official site didn't provide a valid download so I used google to find an alternate source for it. (Remember to checksum everything before installing to avoid errors or malware -Trojans, virus, etc.-)
----- Once Super Su was flashed I rebooted (didn't wipe anything this time). It rebooted a couple of times until it was idle. I then ran Super Su app to check if it was Ok. It was. Then fixed some settings like language (Spanish, in my case), time zone (Mexico City) and location (changed to 'high accuracy' from 'device only'). And then connected to the Internet.
----- I ran F-droid and disabled all repositories but microG. Forced repositories update and installed microG Services Core and microG Service Framework Proxy.
---- Then I re-enabled the F-droid repository, forced it to update and upgraded microG (for me it was available).
---- Installed the recomended backends:
---- ++ UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS).
---- ++ MozillaNlpBackend (I didn't want the one from Apple as Jan did).
---- ++ NominatimNlpBackend
---- ++ WiFi Location Service (I don't know if this was necessary but I installed it anyway).
---- ++ Local GSM Location (I think this wasn't necessary because the tablet doesn't have GSM nor any other cellular SIM, but I installed it anyway to cover all my bases).
---- Patched the ROM to allow signature spoofing. (Check Jan's article about this). The second and third patch weren't applied because the files were already patched but I followed every step there to the end.
---- Followed Jan's article at sections "Configuring microG Services" and "Reinstall Google Play Store"
Step 3. I took the opportunity to install and run the AdBlocker script from this thread. In my case there was no pdf but the script file. I downloaded the raw text file and created a file named adblocker. Used the adb shell to ran it. I needed to remount the system partition in order to move the script to /system/bin. (A google search can help here if you don't know how to do it). Short version: it installed and ran Ok.
Step 4. On my first attempt (second, third, and maybe fourth actually), I installed apps from the Google Store. Eventually I ended with the reboot loop again. So in the end I opted for downloading the apk files of the apps I wanted to install (from apkpure.com) and did it manually (actually I used a for loop and adb in bash, but it counts as manually).
Step 5. That was it. Tested some apps and gave the tablet to my little monsters for further testing. The kids have been very happy playing around with the old tablet.
Additional considerations:
1. In my case I installed an app blocker so the children won't mess with anything important, microG settings and F-droid included.
2. I didn't install Google Play Games nor any games that depended on it. So the idea of me using the tablet to play was abandoned.
3. There are some apps that the old TF101's hardware cannot handle, so I uninstalled them as they crashed at start up.
Conclusion: TF101 is old but with this workaround it might live to fight more battles. Kids apps are simple, but they run (some Ok, some a bit slow). My kids learn and have fun with the old tablet, so mission accomplished!
Further considerations and remarks:
1. Updating apps is not a concern for me unless they stop running. If they run they do stay, otherwise I will check them manually and then decide.
2. No Google account was registered in the tablet. Store is there, but it is not used.
3. I installed some other apps aside from the children's ones, like the app locker, a file manager and things alike.
Good luck.
EDIT: Updated to Super Su SR5 (highly recommended) and added suhide-lite.
EDIT: Reboots restarted eventually. The solution was not installing microG nor Google apps, and therefore no store at all. I installed my kids' apps manually using adb. I also omitted Youtube kids. Tablet has been working fine for almost a week now.
Katkiss Kitkat with no gapps. Smooth like butter.
Workaround is to first flash with gapps, reboot and go through first time setup (skip wifi), then reboot into twrp, wipe system and flash without gapps, then reboot.
Reason is first time setup wont work without gapps for kk.
My detailed instructions in the timduru mm thread (kk was closed)
Yes. I can confirm (after multiple back and forth flashing) that Katkiss works perfectly w/o gapps.
Now w/o gapps how does one get the apps to install?
Edit : Looks like yalp store is the answer

You can look for your app's .apk file (e.g., apkpure.com), download it and use adb to install it.
I'm using katschmallow, no gapps. It has been very stable for a couple of months. I have microg installed, and a lot of apps from yalp are working OK. YouTube seems to be the culprit in making it bootloop. I've been using newpipe instead.
Works without gaps

I tried it as well and works well. I installed rom with the latest gapps (Jan 19th) and it has nice feature that you can disable "autoupdate apps" from upper right corner "three dots". Actually it was quite stable even with the gapps as long as you don't allow autoupdates.
Of course those apps, which are requiring Google play support won't work (mainly google made).
But many apps don't work with TF101 if you load the latest version so I found older versions from uptodown.com site as well other sites have old versions if you just search those.
Here are some apps and working versions. (some never might work as well but I did not have time to try furher)
Dropbox 18.2.2
Firefox 51.0.3
Uptodown 3.18
Chrome 49.0.2 (you need this if you want use your google account)
Mega 3.2.6.2.6
Spotify 8.4.0.534
OneDrive 4.12
Surprise was that the latest version of MS Outlook mail/calendar works

Do you guys happen to know how I can root my TF101? I have two and I want to see what my best options are to get this thing to work with youtube. Please let me know if these two tablets are still worth the trouble.
I have spent countless hours chasing my tail as ASUS SYNC isn't even online anymore and all the exe files aren't made for windows 10. I have two, I am a college student and I would like a tablet to play Youtube when I am eating, as I don't have a tv in the dinning room/table.
Thanks in advance.
I have not been able to get YouTube working on mine. I have katschmallow without gapps, and use newpipe for YouTube. Anything Google service related seems to boot loop the tablet.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'll use it as a paper weight. On the plus side, I use my TF101s as a camera for the apt when I leave for school breaks, via Alfred. The video quality sucks, but at least it still has a little functionality.
It's not quite paperweight territory, but without support from Timduru it's becoming more and more crippled. I'm thankful for all of the years of service it has given.

You should try OGYoutube instead, it depends on microG. You can use your google account and you will also get rid of the ads.
Look for the apks at apkmirror (ogyoutube and microG for OGYT)
Update for anyone still using this device. I discovered that . apk files can be installed from the terminal emulator. I was using katschmallow without gapps but kept getting random reboots. I went back to KK, and it is blazing fast. No reboots so far. Anyway, when you flash KK without gapps, there is no good way to install apps. I placed the apps that I wanted to install on the external SD, and installed in terminal as follows.
su
cd extSdCard
ls
pm install packagename.apk
Edit:Firefox 51.0 still works on this device on KK and is the minimum version for adbock plus.
Hello sirs
from your post I assume that best ROM il KAT KISS MM without Google Gapps.
I already have this configuration, but too many apks ( I use APTOIDE like market) do not works.
I would like to try a ROM based on original Firmware ( ANDROID REVOLUTION HD 3.6) . do you know if Google works with original FW ?
thanks
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?

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

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.

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

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.
