Description

This renames the webview package from com.android.webview to org.cromite.webview, which some people have requested, such as in #1760. The display name is changed from Android System WebView to Cromite System WebView.
It also adds the Cromite icons to the Webview, so it no longer uses the generic icon.

All submissions

  • there are no other open Pull Requests for the same update/change
  • Bromite can be built with these changes
  • I have tested that the new change works as intended (AVD or physical device will do)

Format

  • patch subject and filename match (e.g. Subject: Alternative cache (NIK-based) -> Alternative-cache-NIK-based.patch)

  • patch description contains explanation of changes
    (I modified an existing patch, but didn't change it's description. These changes seem to fit in with the patch's purpose.)

  • no unnecessary whitespace or unrelated changes

It's worth noting that installing WebViews as a user app with the overlay method, no longer works in Android 15+.
Until someone finds a new method, you have to install it as a system app.
I installed mine in /system/priv-app/CromiteWebView/SystemWebView.apk for example.

You could create a magisk module and install it systemless instead of mod the system

just use magisk module from rootalith, you can replace cromite webview old apk from module into newest cromite webview apk.
