Mulch System WebView

In order for Mulch SystemWebView to be installed, it must be one of the supported webviews hardcoded in the framework package. Since ROMs typically don't include Mulch SystemWebView among them, the community has developed some methods that allow the framework to be patched in order to include it.

This package makes use of a resource overlay to replace the list of hardcoded webviews with one that also includes the mulch WebView. This method is more straightforward and elegant, as it does not require a rooted device nor the tedious process of installing Magisk modules or patching the system framework itself manually — if anything breaks the package can simply be removed. Moreover, the WebView itself does not need to be installed as a system app and has no potential risk of breaking SafetyNet — e.g. you can install it directly from F-Droid.

Some users have experienced issues with this installation process, so an overlay packaged as a Magisk module is also provided. It is included for convenience only, and undergoes less frequent testing as the main developer does not endorse Magisk. The officially-endorsed and tested installation method still remains installing via recovery.
