OKCupid doesn't recognize AOSP WebView.

I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with LineageOS 14.1-20180407 and without GApps or Google Services. I tried to use the OKCupid app, but I only get the notification that Android System WebView is missing Does anybody know how to use the app with the preinstalled AOSP WebView?

I don't do this for my devices but, I believe that the following information should be correct...
... download and install the Android System Webview from the following APKMirror website and then set it as the Default Webview app from within your devices Developer Options...
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-system-webview/
... You may want to double check this on the following Official LineageOS thread for your just to be sure (I believe that you have the following LineageOS for the Mido device).

Good Luck!

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
Thanks, but as I've stated I don't use Google services and I don't intend to do so. That's why I was asking, why the app isn't recognizing AOSP WebView, because that's already installed on my device, that's what should work and what I'd like to use.
Dear team,i am currently using 15.1 lineage os on my oneplus 2 but am not getting calls on my jio and unable to make one albeit data is working perfectly...pls help
Hey,
did you solve the problem?
I have the same with LineageOS for microG (LineageOS Version 18)

Rom options

would we be able to install a non miui rom on this phone?
Sure. But there isn't any out right now. Development has been slow because many reasons including kernel source not being released fully initially and phone being bricked way too easily with test builds. If you're looking to buy the phone with hopes of flashing a custom ROM, go for the Mi 9T Pro instead. If you already have the phone, be patient for a while.
There's hope from POSP dev, he's actually tried hard building a rom for this device despite getting bricked so many times. Still in progress, be patient.

PHH's AOSP GSI ROM actually works on this device, just download the A/B version of the GSI and you're good to go.

Huh? Why are we hearing about this for the first time?
We need everybody to promote the bricking issue of redmi note 8 pro so that xiaomi will remove the authentication account.it's absurd to keep us blocked from developing. Pleace make posts everywhere you can so people will know the problem. follow the #note8probrick on twitter and express your dissapointment

The N8pro is known to work at the moment after being flashed with that particular ROM, but it really needs to be tested for bugs before it gets promoted as an option.
There are also some other ROMs that derive from PHH's AOSP GSI ROM that could possibly work on the N8pro such as LineageOS 16, Resurrection Remix, and HavocOS

Custom Rom for Galaxg M30 based on android 11. We need a Rom for this phone. Please.

You need to understand,. Samsung OUI is an overlay on top of Android OS, and till A11 does not arrive fully, any customisation may break the rendering beyond comprehension. So, wait and watch..

AOSP based rom's are in the works by other developers such as @samar-V121 and @sahilsonar. Wait and watch.

LOS 18.0 Preliminary builds for the M30 and other 7904 chipset devices has been released by @samar-V121. Join the telegram chat https://t.me/galaxym30official to get more info and the download link.

any chance of getting lineage os official support

support for lineage os
How are we supposed to know?
LineageOS dev(s) got the 7T Pro. So you'll have to wait until someone with 7T builds it, but then it probably won't be official.

What decryption problem? in OOS 10/11?
TWRP is fully supported on Android 10, so if someone were to build it they would have done it by now

The encryption is still borked? That's also not always the case when I had daisey it was very slow dev wise but sped up over time

1+ implemented the 7T encryption in a nonstandard method. The usual encryption/decryption methods TWRP uses on Android builds doesn't work on the 7T (does on the other models)

But after the encryption fix from qualcomm, will it still be"borked"?
I've been wondering this since they announced it. Just holding onto a tiny bit of hope.

It depends wether what they did was on a hardware level or not. They could be creating some dirty workaround that only 'works for them' like now.
I've given up.... To bad, in enjoy this device for my needs. But bought it cause I figured out was gonna be a developers dream device here. Oh well, may be OOS11 will finally allow TWRP (if the developer even can/will/cares to provide a TWRP update if required. Would like to have the 1+ one to check out the unofficial 17 and 18 lineage builds. Thank you.

My gut feeling is that the solution will end up being a write to the chip to change encryption, wiping currently encrypted data, and a clean install of Android/OOS 11.
You are killing all my optimism lol

Question Will I Receive Regular Updates in Custom ROMs Even if it is not updated for Moto g40/60

I have a doubt about Custom ROMs, I have a smartphone moto g40 fusion and right now I think updates are very rare in this smartphone so that's why i am thinking about installing custom rom like LineageOS or EvolutionX in moto g40. But I found last info about custom ROM was posted in Moto g40/60 forum was on May 2022 and it too much in past so will I get updates even if I install it right now. And if possible plz explain how update work in custom rom like how devs update them, like do they update only like LineageOS or specifically moto g40/60 LineageOS every time. thanx in advance .

As you can see here, @Raghu varma just updated his build on January 7th. Just remember, since this is an unofficial build you will have to manually update it.

Custom roms are updated at the discretion of the Dev.
They can stop updating at any time, or continue working on it for years.

I meant that there aren't OTA updates, you have to manually flash them.

Then will I have to flash my phone after every update release by Dev working on this phone.. is there any easy way to get update even after dev stop working on this Custom ROM like can I update it?, sorry for asking like this is going to be an easy task but I am just curious that may be it will be just building files from source code after copying updates from google to LineageOS for my phone. Thanx for clearing my doubts @ethical_haquer and @sd_shadow .

Yes, you would have to manually flash updates, and it requires quite a bit of expertise to build your own updates. The more popular a build is, the more likely it is that it will continue to be maintained.

Thanx uhh so much for your explanation @ethical_haquer . I think I should check out some details for basics of custom ROM building.... if possible (sorry for asking again and again) can you provide some roadmap like blueprint for basic ROM development or updating rom for personal phones.,

Would love to help, but I haven't gotten into building my own ROMs yet; I'm a Linux enthusiast, and just started running Lineage OS on my A52 4G and Raspberry Pi. You could try contacting @KonstaT though, he is maintaining a bunch of Lineage OS builds and might be able to help you, or at least point you in the right direction.
