Mulch

The DivestOS WebView

About this specific fork:

This is a frozen version of M121 used for the treble build of the P9 device due to size restrictions of the /system partition - for any other purpose, please visit the official DivestOS sources!

Use

• This repository contains the compile scripts, patches, and prebuilt WebView providers
• The WebView here is not meant to be used as is, but compiled into an OS
• Standalone versions of Mulch for all systems are available here: https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps#mulch
• Can be updated out of band via F-Droid repo: https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps#repos
• Integration configs:
  • Bare: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/master/Patches/Common/config_webview_packages.xml
  • With signature: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/dc853bfdaecc73a273de252cf555c9a3b6a38864/Patches/Common/config_webview_packages.xml

Goals

• Minimizing anti-features
• Included patches must be very simple to minimize maintenance
• Becoming a "privacy" browser is out of scope, use Mull instead

Notes

• This repo will only keep one version at a time
• This repo will be reinitialized often
• x86 and x86_64 will track from LineageOS due to excessive compile times
