@sam-club I believe people used this app on phones other than the TCL and it worked. Can anyone confirm this version works with WebView, without having any browsers installed?

I can’t because I can’t uninstall Chrome because I’ll have a rough time with my filter afterwards
Anyone with a Qin that can test this?
Can someone explain what exactly is webview?
Webview is a browser that’s built into your phone it helps in app browsers and apps that use native libraries access data from the Internet
Someone pls correct me if I’m wrong
A little bit more detailed

WebView Explained (Short & Simple):
WebView is a “mini-browser” embedded inside apps to display web content without opening a separate browser (e.g., Chrome).
What It Does:
Why It Exists:
System WebView (Android):
Examples:
Not Just for Android:
WKWebView
; similar concepts exist on all platforms. Note: If apps crash, updating Android System WebView (via Play Store) often fixes it.
TL;DR: A tool apps use to display web content internally, like a browser window baked into the app.

You have to have root for that to work.
Many flip phones can’t be rooted.
the tcl flip2 is rooted
Send link, please.
TNX.
GeckoView need to work without root on all modern android phones
But there are other phones that had the same issue.
This is the way I got the WebView version to work. But it would defenitaly be helpful if you do it a different way.
What is LineageOS vs Android OS?
Two different operating systems like iOS and Android if I remember correctly lineage is actually based off Android
Can it install apk files and run play services?
Yes
Android is a type of OS, and Lineage is a version of Android. Usually android devices are made by companies that build in bloatware and annoying features into the Android system (such as company apps, info being shared with the company or advertisers) and Google Play Services, which some people don’t like for privacy reasons. LineageOS is basically a stripped down version of android with just the essentials so it runs faster and takes up less space, and it’s open source so there are no privacy concerns.
