I got a X2 and I can confirm it’s working using the same adb-no soldering hack. It’s not starting automatically at boot, but I’m not sure it’s supposed to do it.
I’m displaying my own web UI (that’s calling HA inside a frame) and it’s really snap. I updated the WebView as well.
Thanks for the work!
I tried to update the webview to version 93 as mentioned by the member here. However, my X2 seems to have insufficient storage space for that. I even tried uninstall the ShellyElevate first to make sure there’s some space left but it doesn’t help as well.
Can you share the version of the Webview you are using or what’s your specific move that could actually make you update the Webview to the newer version without the insufficiency storage error?
Try this.

Do you know if there’s a way to do this with the XL? I can’t find the same options in it.
