Since the upgrade to KK, across several Roms, I have run into an issue when an app updates. I am currently running C-Rom, but it has also happened to me on Pacman, Resurrection, Beanstalk, and a few others. When certain apps update, they no longer work. The icon is removed from the app drawer and replaced with the com.developername.apk path where the app data is usually stored and the app fc on opening. It has happened to different apps on different ROMs, but the usual culprits are IPcam Viewer, Tasked, and Macronos. (I don't use Macronos anymore since Sonos came out with their own app). I have uninstalled the app, both thru the app manager and using root explorer. When using root explorer, the apk is nowhere to be found. The only way I've found to resolve this, is to use TiBu to restore an older, working version.
TL: DR - my apps are screwing up and not installing correctly when they update. Can't figure out why.
Anyone have any ideas?
I used to have Droidwall, which worked great. Then I changed phones and Droidwall was incompatible with my new phone or OS. So now I use AFWall+. But it stopped blocking.
Any suggestions to either fix it or recommend another firewall.
I now have a rooted LG V10.
Thanks!
I am rooted and have the latest adblock lists. All was well until a few days ago, that I saw a lot of Google ads served in-app, despite AdAway enabled.
Any idea what happened and how can I block ads universally again?
Nope, still working fine for me.
Working flawlessly here.
So i just got my 10+ 2 days ago and immediately rooted it with magisk. For the past 2 days i have been working on customizing, debloating, and degooglefying it. So far i have removed almost all google apps as well as some samsung bloatware. I have also removed bixby and remapped the bixby button for other tasks...
However i have run into a peculiar issue; if i remove chrome none of my firefox browsers will work, with the exception of orfox... this includes firefox focus, firefox klar and icecat. Those browsers will open no problem but if i type anything into the URL bar and hit go/enter the browsers immediately close/crash. If i reinstall chrome, firefox browsers work without issues. If i force stop and disable chrome, firefox browsers work with no issues. I just cant uninstall chrome.
Im using debloat in magisk modules and im sure the browsers share some dependencies, however i have tried reinstalling firefox browsers after removing chrome and same problem.
Anyone else have this issue or does everyone else use chrome?
I am unrooted with chrome disabled, Firefox beta runs fine. Have you removed android webview too? Try the fenix preview it uses the new rendering engine?
Unrelated question, I used to use note 1 back in the day it had no knox so rooting was simple. Went the nexus/pixel way after that, and rooting on it was basically just pressing a button. Just moved from a pixel 1 to this s10+.
My usage of the root on the pixel had dropped to titanium backup and kernel for boosting it's low performance, could you please explain your use for root on s10? Also, if you want to use your warranty will you be able to?
Yea i currently have chrome disabled and firefox works fine, i just cant uninstall chrome without issues.
To answer your unrelated question, i am a long time linux user and am used to being free to change anything I want with nothing off limits. For the s10 i want to be able to tweak all the settings to my desires and only run the software that i use. I dont want bloatware that i dont use either running in the background or just taking up space.
And as far as i know, the method of root for the s10 line using magisk can be unrooted and bootloader can be relocked but that requires wiping everything and flashing stock firmware which should allow you to use your warranty. I dont actually have a warranty as i bought the international unlocked version and samsung factory warranty doesnt cover accidental physical damage which is the only thing i would ever use a warranty for.

It's because there is no alternative webview provider, or Android System Webview is broken. Check developer settings. I have to keep chrome installed for its webview provider and for some reason the built in Android System Webview is broken, even if I update it.

Thank you!!!
This solved my problem
So after I disabled chrome I verified webview provider switched to the android version and that firefox was working properly. I then uninstalled chrome, rebooted and same problem. After a little more research i found out that as long as the chrome webview providor was present and used, the android version will not update by itself. I manually went to the play store and updated it which is all it needed. Chrome is uninstalled completely, android webview is in use, and firefox is working properly.
I will report back if i discover any adverse side effects of running the android version rather than chrome.

Good stuff man, you're welcome haha. For some reason mine's permanently broken, although I don't mind leaving chrome installed.
My Pixel 7 Pro won't send from Gmail. I'm running the Feb 5 build with root. I type a new email but when I hit the send button, nothing happens. Gmail works perfectly from my desktop & tablet. I receive Gmail on the phone just fine. I tried clearing storage, cache and even uninstalled with the pm uninstall command and reinstalled from Play store.
What else can I try?
Have you tried a previous version (one that you remember working properly, if you can) from apk mirror? Or going all the way back to stock -- "uninstall updates"?
Google is up to a lot of "funny business" in terms of root detection after/around Feb update, maybe root is also interfering with something like this; if it is -- and you don't mention employing any root hiding implementations so I'm going to go ahead and suggest these even if you might have them active -- I suggest you configure the DenyList and/or run Universal SafetyNet Fix (Displax's latest MOD seems to be working best) and/or Shamiko...
Just some random ideas/thoughts to try...Good luck!

I just hid Gmail in Magisk and it seems to be working. Why didn't I thnk of that? We'll see if it happens again. Thanks for being my brain.
