adolfintel / chromiumupdater Goto Github PK

After downloading the notification says installing update indefinitely, even though it should launch the package installer as my phone is not rooted.

Device: bq aquaris X5
Android 6.0.1

While there is no official stable release for chromium, in other repositories the "stable" version of chromium is considered to be the version that matches the current chrome release. This is fairly common across linux package managers. I'm hoping to get a similar experience on f-droid!

When I upgraded to 1.8, Auto Updater stopped working. Every couple of seconds, the Auto Updater icon would flash in the task bar but nothing would happen.

Running LineageOS (14.1-20171204-NIGHTLY-d2vzw) on a Verizon Samung S3.

Please make a statement in your application, here in README and on F-Droid that you are downloading Chromium from Chromium project, not bulding it yourself. This is an important info.

Thanks for your great work!

Awesome app, would be nice to have these options:

• Manually check for update.
• Explicit option to set Update frequency to manual.

Hi,

First thank you for this development...

1- Why you don't add the chromium-apk directly to f-droid. So we can directly download the app from f-droid like other apps.

2- There is another android app for same purpose: https://github.com/andDevW/getChromium You know what is the difference with your app?

Thanks in advance...

Both systemizing and aurora services allow to install updates 100% in the background (so you don't even get a "permission granted" message from Magisk), would be nice if you could add them. An option to hide the app would also be nice (even if it would mean I have to reinstall to change settings).

I sometimes dismiss notification on accident before installation. Could you make the notifications unswipeable?

Meaning this line is not honest:
It's basically Chrome without all the Google features (and spying).

Some issues:

• how is Data saving implemented without Google servers exactly?
• why does it try to connect to a dozen *.google.com sites all the time?

Currenly it seems the download will always happen regardless of installed version of chromium. Can a version comparison be added so only newer version will be downloaded?

Hi. I tried to download Chromium using your app on LineageOS 14.1 (nightly) on Redmi Note 3 (kenzo) and got the error. Can't expand the notification to see the full error.

[I know, this is probably not related to this app.]

I've updated to v1.8.1 today. Now I can't install the latest or stable build. I'm using LineageOS 14.1, Android couldn't parse the downloaded package. Is there anything I could try or is Android 7.x no longer supported by Chromium Dev Builds?

(Sorry for my incomplete message before. I accidentally hit the submit button too early.)

Installed, clicked update now. I turned on show internal errors. It's truncated and I don't know how to see the full error, but it says

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /sorage/emulated/..

I'm using 1.7 from fdroid.

Is ont possible to publish this app on f-droid?

I'm unable to sign into Google on Chromium.

Sometimes the download gets stuck and there's no way to cancel it.

I would like to propose you some new icons for your app. Simply because the current icons in fdroid is really ugly IMO.
I saw you had to change the icons already because of the google policy right ?
Could you tell me more about this ?

I already created some icons, just tell me if you like it , if we can use it ( google policy ? ) and if you want to tweak some details.
They all are SVG's so changing something would be really easy !
I used the old chromium 11 SVG as base, and added on top of it the sync icons from material icons.

I can also use a different icon like a down arrow or something, instead of the sync icon !

I'll push a PR once we find the right icon !

I'm running lineage os 16 (Android 9) with Magisk installed.
The autoupdater seems to complete the download of chromium, but fails to install it.
The installation method has already been set to "intent" (manual/no root), as I do not run root/supersu on this device.

`Exception:java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.Intent android.content.Intent.addCategory(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

I enabled root in Magisk and changed the installation method to "pm" (root required), but the problem stays the same.

I believe this is related to a denied root-permission. When I grant root in Magisk, the installation completes just fine.

Suggestion: when root is refused, the auto updater should stick to them "intent"-installation.
Obviously there is a bug that needs to be fixed to get this working.

Olease, improve notification tray icon with little bit thicker lines for circle and three connecting lines. The icon is now too dense.

The app is not hidden.
What should I do to fix this?

Hi,

suddenly I get this error when trying to download a new update (stable branch):

App worked fine couple days ago, but now there's suddenly this issue. Reinstalling the app doesn't help.

The build of Chromium installed by https://github.com/andDevW/getChromium seems to have better performance and is less clunky. What are (well-tested) experiences by others? If there is indeed a feasible improvement, should that imply another build of Chromium being made/offered via chromiumUpdater?
