Hey Folks,
I have been tasked with running Chrome out of KitKat in fullscreen mode. i.e. auto start kiosk mode. I would have initially went with a WebView app but WebView in KitKat doesn't support WebRTC and the web app needs this function so I am stuck with the Chrome Browser.
I need to figure out the latest version of Chrome that will run on KitKat. Can I just pull an APK from another installation?
Thank you
Conor

Hi, I have a weird problem.
Since I have updated to the latest rom DAV-703LC233B211, I cannot login in Firefox into my account anymore. On the previous ROM with Android 5, I had no problem at all.
Somehow it seems to be related to the keyboard.
I have tried the stock keyboard and the Google keyboard, I tried to completely re-install Firefox. I even made a hard reset today and installed everything again. But always the same. When I want to type in my UserID & PWD into Firefox Sync, then Firefox starts to freeze.
I switched to Chrome, but I really hate it, as the bookmarks system of Chrome is so bad, and that one of Firefox is really superior.
Anyone an idea? Thanks a lot!
Try the Firefox beta

Hello everybody,
So today I noticed while trying to download something, that google chrome was downloading that thing with it's own downloader and not the built-in one on my phone (OP3).
I uninstalled updates to chrome and this time the downloads worked as expected via built-in android downloader.
Any fix? Is this a new "feature"? I hope it gets fixed.
Please feel free to help me with solutions!!
Thanks,
Ben
Hi, wonder if someone can help me with my old TF101.
I want to have it on the wall in my house just for a home assistant display. The app I want to use is fully kiosk browser or wall panel. I've tryed a number of roms and currently got katkiss 6.0.1 installed without play store.
I can brows the internet with the default app, browser, but some web sites don't display and is states "please update browser". I can install the fully kiosk browser but it states I need to update Android web view I've downloaded and installed lots of different virsions (one at a time) with no luck.
I've installed Xposed and run webviewgoogle but it won't allow any web browser to run.
So my question is how do I get a new version of web view to install correctly so I can view current web pages.
I would appreciate help on this and give a good old device a new purpose.
Many thanks in advance
I'm exactly in the same situation, I didnt flash the tablet yet, Just took it out after few years and realized that I can't install anything through playstore nor while downloading an APK of Fully Kiosk Browser . I was thinking of flashing the recovery and installing à new rom but after seeing your post, it sounds like it's not enough..
But when I see

Hey i fell on this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/app-chromium-m56-optimized-tegra-2-t3550210
Download the latest apk, home assistant works very well with that chromium apk.
Okay there is no full screen like full fully Kiosk but at least the browser works very well and if you install that with tasker and the mqtt plugin, you can manage to have cool automations with this tablet !
Hope that helps.
Cheers.

Do you happen to have the apk from that thread? The link there appears to be broken.

Is it possible to download an old version webview to use the associated old version chrome?
If Google Chrome is installed and activated, Android System Webview gets deactivated by default, and vice versa.
Android WebView is a system component what should be kept up to date to ensure that you have the latest security updates and other bug fixes.
Hello,
I am currently looking for a Web Browser and a File Manager for my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. Ideally I would like to use Chrome Browser and Solid Explorer, both of which I currently use on my Pixel 5. Seeing as how neither one of these applications are available through the playstore (watch version) my question is does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives or has anyone tried side loading either of these applications and if so how do/did they work out for you?
Side note: I am familiar with adb and side loading apps if needed.
This file manager wear OS, transfer files from browser to galaxy watch 4 (free) wear OS

Okay thanks I will check it and see if I like.
I have ADB sideloaded in the watch an older version of the chrome browser APK and it works but the screen is not optimized for a circular screen. Use it mostly to check Facebook and search the Google Keep notes web version (as the wear os app does not have a Search function)

Why a older version and not the current version?
I think I tried the latest but was crashing, could be insufficient ram
