Custom ROMs and WebView issues

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Ran into an issue on one of my devices with the app that runs a custom ROM. I figured I would make a post here to help anyone else facing the issue. So if you are getting stuck on the initialization screen you may need to perform these steps in order to continue with app setup.

Original issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-android/issues/395

Steps to fix:

  1. First install Android webview: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview&hl=en_US

  2. Next install the following xPosed module: https://repo.xposed.info/module/net.typeblog.webview

  3. Activate the xPosed module and restart the device

  4. Continue with setting up the Android app

Is still valid? Can this app run like this on a custom rom without google services?

Tested this solution on ME301T and still valid.
It’s a bit more tricky as many software are not available anymore but:
you can still find exposed on xda and the module net.typeblog.webview_v2_7778c1.apk
