[UNOFFICIAL BUILD] Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (2015) SM-T810 eOS-R

[anon29344687]

My first installation was done via TWRP > Install *.zip

Now I did a further installation via adb sideload - and the /e/OS system boots and can be set up.

I could connect to my Murena account successfully

Did you do a clean install?
It just puts a @e.mail after my username and cann’t get rid of it… but it was a dirty install

[ronnz98]

yes did clean install

Something strange…
Trying to flash the new build, but I don’t have a recovery anymore – was TWRP
Now I can only get into ODIN mode…

[ronnz98]

Really strange… for me it worked and TWRP recovery was working…if I remember correct I have twrp-3.6.2_9-0 installed

[make-nz]

I had the same TWRP, just flashed it again, followed by your build:

Have you noticed anything new/different in1.16?
Thanks, as always

As always – Thank you!

One thing I was hoping for:

/e/OS browser will be updated to the latest chromium version.
Team is working on adding some features to the interface

Did not happen, it’s still Bromite

Browser 117.0.5938.156

Sidenote to @ronnz98 just now the radio plays Major Tom, seriously Space Oddity

[ronnz98]

I use Firefox anyway. Maybe I try build with Firefox and/or Chromium included…

[make-nz]

I was waiting for the newer webview, I tought would come with it…

[ronnz98]

ah. Do you know how this can be implemented?

[make-nz]

I know the basics… that it is a system component app developer can call to display their apps.

Here is one example, in the /e browser:

So, apps are still using this old version off a webview, which may cause issues and we can not change it, by installing a different browser, unfortunately

[make-nz]

I think on rooted devices you can use adb to replace the webview, or add a different one.
Not sure if root-debugging does work for this

[ronnz98]

ah ok. If anyone can guide me I can try a build with different webview

[make-nz]

I bookmarked this a while ago (I started building, mostly to figure out Overlays, but still on to do list)

Edit:
Mulch webview seems to be the new GOTO solution:
