Dont know which ROM starts to dev the 6.0 base one.
Hope to test and enjoy it.
Thx.
Apparently this one but I'm sure a lot of others are trying as well.
It's only been out for a short while so you have to give developers time to do this sort of stuff, I'm sure they have other important stuff to do.

It's 5.1.1 instead of 6.0, I've tried and replaced it immediately ... Finally I found and installed 6.0 but not from this one. The file was aosp_bacon-ota-eng.hamster.zip but I have to find the gapps ex Nexus 4.
Running aosp_bacon-ota-eng.hamster.zip now as primairy on multirom (TWRP). Moved CM 12.1 nightly to secondairy. Had some difficulties with installing Gapps (mm) in TWRP, but Slim_zero_Gapps beta for 6.0 installed just fine. Supersu 2.52 beta too. I find it pretty smooth for a experimental version. I replaced launcher with latest Nova launcher. Not working: Xposed framework, Titanium Backup Pro, Double tap to wake-up, and advanced reboot menu. I don't use themes so no clue on that one. Muzei is fine for me. Stock camera gives error when closing, but other camera's work fine. No issues with gallery.
Getting "unfortunately trebuchet has stopped" on CM 12.1 & RR 5.7.4 after wipe/format
Hi,
Ive been running Fonz's build of CM12.1 for over a year now, a few months ago I was updating some apps when my phone rebooted, and once I got to the lock screen I got the message "unfortunately trebuchet has stopped".
Nothing i could do would fix it, wiping davlik cache and main cache then dirty flashing the same rom again, no joy, so I bit the bullet and decided to install a different rom. This time I decided to go for something a little bit newer, don't want to use Nougat yet so flashed the last Marshmallow build of RR (5.7.4). After wiping everything except SD card and installing, all seemed ok until I started to install apps from my history, then it did the exact same thing. Booted into recovery, this time formatted instead of wiped, install went fine but the same thing happened again.
It does this on both roms an it seems to happen if I que more then 1 app to install at a time from the app store, or just randomly if I install each app one at a time. Does anyone know whats causing this ? :crying:
Thanks in advance.
here is another one. like you, i too was on fonz's CM12.1, was updating apps and ROM rebooted. i had a booloop first corrected by wiping cache and dalvik cache. however after booting normally it ended in launcher crashing indiscriminately, it crashes all type of launchers. i even did a clean reinstall of fonz's ROM after restoring apps it came back after a while. another telltale symptom is going into app manager (apps in settings menu) crashes settings app when you meddle in it (mostly crashes immediately).
my guess is that reboot while installing/updating apps corrupts something (not the dalvik cache) irrecoverably in the system. after the clean install, app store was only killed/crashed during app installation (there was no reboot) before the launcher started crashing again. just wiping/formatting other partitions(non-system) or dirty flashing ROM doesnot fix it.
i think some apps now are too big to be inflated for ART within 1GB of RAM for the app store and it gets killed by the kernel when it runs out of memory thresholds. i dont see how the app store could have been killed when i was doing nothing while installing the apps else. or in the unlikely but probable event it is a rogue app (hence app manager crashing).
have reluctantly moved to noughat since then (2 months now). in noughat app installation/update is lesser of a burden though. they have hybrid of something like the JIT (kitkat days) and ART. seemingly apps install/update way faster with less resources. i dont think we have choice.

Update: I installed lost101's optimized 5.1 stock, works perfect, but its 5.1 and still has stage freight vulnerabilities, at least Fonz's rom was 5.1.1 and had the security patches back ported up until he stopped developing it. I might give Lineage 14.1 or RR a try once they figure out all the bugs or move to Oreo, thanks for the info .
BTW, my phone crashed every time I tried to install Open Camera on cm12.1 and RR, works fine on optimized stock 5.1 so I don't know if its a ram limitation.

You can try identity crisis 1.5, its a stock marshmallow ROM for moto g..
Nougat based ROMs are now completely stable you can try out LOS 14.1 (now they have included November security patch)
Hello Guys,
I come in need of a help,
I'm writing from my computer now,
Yesterday my phone was working fine,
Today morning, I updated the apps on my phone; amongst the updates was android system webview.
After a reboot, my phone is unresponsive, it won't open any of the apps from that point.
I reboot again, since keyboard doesn't work, I used the OTG cable to use the physical keyboard to enter the password and get in. Tried entering setting to uninstall that crap app, settings is unresponsive.
No SIM services, no keyboard, no fingerprint, no settings etc.. basically nothing works and everything says "unresponsive and asks to either wait or close".
The only thing I have now is TWRP Recovery, and I'm inside it now.
I've wiped Cache + Dalvik / ART Cache : Result still same, nothing works.
I mailed [email protected] (which is provided in the app's "Developer" section) about this and got a reply that the mail is no longer being monitored.
Can someone please let me know how I can remove android system webview by using TWRP ? So that I can enter the phone back again as normal..
Device Details:
Lenovo K8 Note
Android 7.1.1 Nougat, (Never updated the OS)
Device has been rooted and has recovery options.
I think you can find WebView module in Magisk respiratory so I suggest you give that a try. Flash it and I think it will be fine as long as you have Magisk installed, of course.

Thanks, I couldn't quite understand that..
I've never read/seen a need for Magisk so far.. so may I know what is the procedure to be done here...?
I do read Magisk is a systemless Root, (I already have SuperSu, is that the same functionality? (though I can't open anything that is))
Find the Magisk zip on Google and flash it over TWRP.
Head over to the Magisk module site and you will be able to find an alternate WebView module you can flash. It will be in zip format so I guess you will need USB to transfer those files to your phone since you cannot use it to download modules.

Give it a try and come to tell if you have sorted it out.
If not, you will probably need to flash your ROM again hoping the application won't stay updated but to back to stock version.

Oh, one more thing,
Does this procedure mean, I'll lose TWRP and SuperSu?
Can I not just downgrade the android system webview manually itself?

You won't lose TWRP but I am not sure about SuperSu since it's very old and people don't use it from the time Magisk appeared. I don't think you will be able to have both TWRP and SuperSu.
It would be good for you to just uninstall the updates of WebView if you can use your phone at all. That would solve the problem.
TWRP basically is a menu what allows you to select and apply ADB and/or Fastboot commands.
SuperSU is a Superuser access management tool: it requires SU binary got installed on Android.
Both mentioned sofwares are completely different things, don't depend on each other.
BTW:
I always root Android without the need to make use of Magisk or SuperSU.
So, I went through these

Android system Webview installed but not used by apps

I got is, .. the adb and appt command says "not found". so.. confusion. and I also see that Bromite System Webview might or might not work on some apps..
So,
Is there a way to downgrade an app through recovery mode
or delete that app's data and start from scratch for that alone?
or is there a way to flash an old Android System Web View through TWRP?
Please help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix this.
I already have SuperSu and it seems if I need to goto Magisk (which is just for that other webview application, I have to do a lot of rolling back and applications going away, ) I don't want that..
Let's keep the Magisk idea as last resort and please let me know if there is any other way to delete the entire Android Webview related stuff and start from beginning.

Attached the attack of errors. (these are just few of the ANR popups, there are lots more.. at the last screen you can see even settings won't respond)
My recommendation: Reflash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far, then restart modding from the scratch.

Just because of one application?
I just want that android webview gone/replaced with a stable one, is that not possible without destroying everything?
Thanks everyone.
we have a solution,
In my case, uninstalling the Xposed framework fixed it for me..
So, while working on this issue I had made a flow map and a log of what is done and its results, may be someone else can benefit from it in the future..
Spoiler: Tries and results
Even starting the entering phone itself is a big issue, because the keyboard applications don't come up; fingerprint doesn't work on first boot as a security measure as well; connected physical keyboard to OTG to phone to enter password... then greeted with lots of errors of all the applications.

Posted to XDA, have some ideas worth trying
Unpacking the system web view.apk on computer gives crap details as it is almost completely encrypted.
Going rabbit hunting through the rabbit hole, checking each folders on "/"
found something similar /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Quick google search confirms that I’m on the right path to finding it...
May be data or XML is somewhere too?
Deleted(copied and deleted) /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Result, Same
Then Reverted
PS: Original Copy at ext_sdcard
Replaced the existing one (92.0.4515.115 with 90.0.4430.210)
Result, no changes.
Then reverted with the crappy original
May be adb will install properly?
Tried adb commands on phone on TWRP, doesn't work
Tried adb from computer to phone, unable to connect to phone.
Was doing it wrong, while in TWRP, I need to initiate "ADB Sideload" and then connect from PC (with Firewall allowed)
then "adb devices", shows connected device with serial number
after the above, the adb push keeps saying "error: connect failed: closed"
turning phone ON and connecting for additional settings (USB debugging) pops "mtp host failed" as soon as I wire..
Started the phone, switched over to Guest account, (oddly seems stuff there are kind of better with lesser error messages), tried launching playstore and wifi, both need password which I don't have, entering settings, hangs for a while, quickly go to apps and uninstall updates for android system web view.. web view becomes 0.0.1
results, fail
Created a temporary user account on phone whilst booting, (because of the observable lesser apps running if I switch over from main..)
added my gaccount on it,
launched playstore to update the android system web view..
the update is stuck at 60%~70 %each time and is unable to complete..
took the v90 application that is on pendrive, connected otg.. and started to install application manually from there..
it said, no space.. even though there is around 4 GB free... continued to disable other applications, such as chrome, youtube, drive etc..
still unable to install the v90 application
even installing other apps (sudoku example) have the same issue,
and then I see a popup that package manager has stopped working (aha! so that itself doesn't work, then can't install),
Went to see if I can change something on developer options, developer option wont come up even after 7+ taps.. hmm strange, may be only main account can have dev options.
While at it, swapped out the Gboard with older AOSP keyboard (retaining Fleksy though).
Rebooted and tried again.. no fix yet..
Atleast I don't have to switch to physical keyboard now for every reboot, since the inner older keyboard comes for first boot.
By TWRP, removed existing app and replaced with v87; doesn't seem to be any different, same errors...
Was about to install the Magisk but it seems to have lots and lots of catches to it, and things to-do before I can go to that...
Continuing investigation on how to downgrade and get back to older state
Through TWRP, deleted the app folder from /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
researched to see if there is something else to delete, couldn't find much... proceeding from what we know...
Removed ATSystem.apk (3C's helper) from /system/priv-app just in cast (copy placed at ext_sdcard)
result no change..
Started at around 31-Jul-21 13:00 and went on till 01-Aug-21 01-26 pausing to for the day to rest...
Restored App Folder back to /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
WebViewGoogle.apk is v90 again.. (the original seems to be missing, meh, not like it's going to fix)
reboot, result, no changes.
Starting step to install magisk
Removing xposed now..
wiped dalvik cache
rebooting
Kind of stable!!!
Everything seems to work?!?!
Firewalled all app except playstore and mail,
mail seems to work, but can't open the mails (just the headers are received), clicking on the mail says "unable to inflate webview"
aha, I forgot that I have v87 still, if I update that again, will it work (if it doesn't we know how to revert now)
proceeds to update v87 to latest
reboots,
I guess issue resolved by uninstalling xposed, next step to enter phone and move data to safe zone and think about next step.

Oh... sorry to hear that.
I don't know the solution to that, because mine is rooted I was able to get into the custom recovery and fix things.. not sure what can be done here for your case, (I do know that the old samsung's default recovery is kinda unreadable for English speakers)
So, I think it's best for you to start a new thread in the forum, because if you make a new thread there's a higher chance of reply than this thread which is already marked solved.

My end goal is to be running an OS that can get me to eventually run youtube netflix etc on the device.
What's the latest android version and or rom that should be installed? After some reading Lineage OS may be the thing I'm looking for.
But with so many versions of each thing, it's difficult to find something concise.
I'm of course a noob.
Depends on what you want to use it for. Would not recommend installing Google Apps because it turns the tablet into a laggy mess. The latest android version right now is Oreo with only 1 rom that is not even close to be usable as a daily driver. So Marshmellow and Nougat is the way to go. And compared to some thing like the Grand Prime the Tab 2 has a tiny amount of versions. You will probably find something that works in Unified. I don't know if Netflix runs without gapps but you can install YouTube vanced no ads and works with out gapps. I use Orion OS

Thanks for the reply. I got as far as rooting the device. Stuck on installing lineage OS Via Phil (made thread) I will give Orion a shot when I get home. Hopefully it's simply that the lineage I'm downloading was not compatible and not an issue with the tablet.
I tried to install Orion OS
I chose Wipe the cache partition and then chose clean to install a new ROM, then loaded the ZIP
It's the closest I've gotten to installing a custom ROM
OrionOS system files verified
Flashing SuperSU
unmount of /system failed: no such volume
script succeded result was []
install from sd complete
press any key to continue
I then reboot and get taken back to phil, i reboot a second time and there was an orion logo, but it just stayed on a gif of planets after that
maybe i did something wrong along the way
or should i wait more than 10min? (orion page says it does it in 4)
Edit......
Solved it... somehow
I installed twrp instead of phil
Got the same exact errors though.
I rebooted like three times, then went to go get lunch for half hour (~35) and orion was installed.
My initial goal is reached, but the tablet may not be optimal for on the go use. I'll have to test some x265 x264 mkv video files and see how well they run.
Question:
Security wise, I don't have to do anything else?
I heard that since it allows installing from unknown sources it can theoretically be hacked.

Don't do anything else. Unless you download an apk of an unknown app from browser or anywhere else and install it, there is no risk at all.

If you have not installed GAPPs, the rom will be fast. Installing GAPPs will make the device a bit slow.

Security isnt a problem unless you install some weird apks or crap like that. Dont install gapps and it will be fast netflix may not work but there are some alternatives to yt. Gapps just make it lag. I heard that Nougat works better with gapps but idk. Also use TWRP it should work with everything.
That error happened to me too but its not really an error
If you wont use gapps here are some alternative apps
Aurora Store (play store)
Newpipe & Youtube Vanced (yt)
Kiwi Browser (chrome)
Awesome thanks guys
Yeah heard no GAPPS is better. Don't really need any of them looking back, not on the tablet at least, so that's good.
I got Aurora and Youtube Vanced on it now. Netflix appears to work, haven't logged in yet.
Disabled animation to make it more snappy.
I think that's all that can be done.
The reason I asked was because of prior posts saying that SuperSU was necessary, but I think it's already installed as it has been asking permission to install on a few things. My worry was things (apks?) auto installing if I went on browser.
