I have installed the latest version of Dolphin web browser and the Jetpack.
Recently, I have updated the Android System Webview. After that, Dolphin cannot connect to any web site, it bounces back to the home page, I have to uninstall the update of Android System Webview. Anyone else has the same experience? Should I avoid to update the Android System Webview in the future?
As of android nougat, system webview is disabled by default and can't be turned on. Instead we use the chrome Webview, which can be seen under developer options > webview implementation
If it is disabled, how come I got update notice? Should I avoid to update it in the future if it is incompatible with Dolphin browser?

Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post in - but I've got this odd broken image icon within the google.com / google.ie main page. I only see it within Chrome browser but not Firefox - I'm running stock Android 5.0 on Samsung Note 3 (SM-N9005).
It's been like this for a while - hopefully the phone isn't infected or compromised in some way - see [http ://imgur.com/QiybtNq] - look in the top right of the search bar
(you'll need to remove the space from the imgur.com link - I've got < 10 posts on the site so external links aren't permitted)
Has anyone seen this before? Any pointers on what to try to dig deeper?
Thanks
Are you sure that you have downloaded latest version of Chrome?

Yup, 4.2. It was happening on the previous version (4.1?) as well....
I'm tempted to do a factory reset and reinstall only the apps that I actually use - but that is a complete PIA

I mean latest version of Chrome, not Android. Go to Google Play Store and check for updates.

Try re-installing Chrome. If that doesn't help, erase cache.

Quick update;
Neither re-installing Chrome nor clearing Chrome's cache worked (via "clear data" & "clear cache" in App Info).
Instead I installed the Chrome Beta app and this displays correctly, i.e. the brokem image icon is gone. I've set the Chrome app to disabled as I don't have the option to uninstall it.
Still none the wiser. Ho hum....
Hi,
I had the HDX 8.9 Saturn running with the older rooted firmware (4.x). Then I updated to Android 5.1.1 with the help of the other thread here and everything was working immediately after that.
However, I noticed that there were some residues of the old Android 4 installation. Especially a very outdated Android Webview (v.41) was causing issues with some apps I wanted to use. (updating the webview from play store did not work as the old one was a system app and was not "overridden" by the play store app).
So after the upgrade the old webview was still there and the behavior of the 3rd party apps still like before. So I opened up Titanium Backup and removed the old webview as well as an app from Amazon (someting like amazon.webviewkkhelper or similar) with the same version as the outdated Android webview (the "kk" in the name made me think it was a Android 4.4 Kitkat residue).
Now, after a factory reset, however, I cannot sign in my Google account. After entering user/password the screen jumps back to the first screen (choose between login with existing account or new account).
In logcat I can see that apparently the webview is called and not found:
Code:
W/PackageManager( 997): com.amazon.webview.chromium is not installed for user 0
W/PackageManager( 997): com.android.webview is not installed for user 0
I'm not 100% sure that these messages are actually describing whats causing the issue, but they are a strong indicator that the google login wants to access a webview component.
Now, I have sideloaded the most recent webview from APKmirror, but it is called
Code:
com.google.android.webview
and is threfore probably not found / used.
Can anyone help me restore the system webviews that came with the Android 5.1.1 update?
Which versions of it do you guys see in the stock image?
Thank you in advance
Jochen

Assuming you rerooted install the Play Version of webview and then migrate it to the system partition using TB or another tool like Apps2SD. I have seen this both work and fail on Lollipop bases ROMs. Good luck.
Edit: Understand the naming issue; recent Google Play Services builds should look for both.

Thanks @Davey126, that helped. I installed the older webview v60 which was still called com.android.webview and made it a system app.
Then it worked again!
Login failed still but that was a different issue. Had my system further borked by trying to install Google stuff via flashfire... who knows what that did, but it did not work either. However, it prevented the old play store stuff to fail. I manually cleaned it up (hopefully) but at least now I can install the old playstore + gms again again .
Login worked afterwards. Lets see how it goes
Kindle Fire tablet are always a handfull... :silly:

Hey,
i want to change the package name of the apk from Samsung Internet Browser:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...rnet-browser-10-2-01-10-android-apk-download/
Why?
My phone will update the app to v11 and this version is stuttering while scrolling pages with videos and gifs like 9gag.
I want to change the package name, so my phone will not update the appanymore to a newer version. Deactivate auto update does not work, with every firmware update from samsung the phone will automatically update the app to v11.
How can i change the package name?
Thanks!

Download the app. Extract the Samsung internet browser app
Go into zip signer and resign your app with test keys.
Uninstall the browser app if currently installed then install the test key app you just made.
Or you could post me the Samsung browser app you are using and I could do it for you

Above are 32 and 64 bit test signed apks Uninstall your current browser and then install the one compatible with your os
Samsung Internet Browser 10.2.01.10 (arm64-v8a + arm-v7a) (nodpi) (Android 7.0+)
