Frameo webview

[devonverdonk]

Is there anyone willing to help me on updating webview on my Frameo device? i tried the updates and also restored the backup but immich-kiosk and immichframe show blank screens when opened.

Frameo: Denver PFF1516 running android 8.1.0
Immich-kiosk: latest version and working fine in google chrome browser
ImmichFrame: latest version and working fine in google chrome browser

The frameo app still works fine when enabled with adb

Any help would be really appreciated!

edit: i found out that the fully kiosk browser shows a short pop-up saying that webview is updating or not available

It's possible the Frameo you have can't have its webview updated.

Do you know what Android version it's running?

Did you see any errors while updating the webview?

I have already tried a factory reset without success and I will try the discord.

Thank you very much for your time!

You can try this https://github.com/photinus/HomeAssistant-Misc/blob/master/Arzopa.md It has a different webview. I am using this successfully on mine.

Hi,
did you succeed with this device?
I think about buying one.

Cheers

Unfortunately I never succeeded and I returned the screen

Very good to know!

Did you find a 15" alternative maybe?

[devonverdonk]

no unfortunately I didn't. a friend had a random poe powered android screen laying around and that works perfectly

For anyone coming later, I got it working on this one: https://a.co/d/08n11FqJ

This is the FHD 10.1” and like OP’s it is also running Android 8.1.0. I will say it took multiple tries to get webview working and it isn’t immediately clear what ultimately did it. I think it’s possible that after pushing the new webview apk it did not correctly install or update, which would explain the error OP saw.

I tried a couple different APKs and rebooted a few times. It’s hard to tell sometimes what Android is doing on devices like this but it did eventually work.

Do you know what Webview version the frame came with?

This is not related to the topic but maybe has one of you guys a hint for me.

I'm getting a bit frustrated here... I'm not even succeeding at step 1.

I have 2 different 10" frames here and i tried a lot of things but both of them do not even show up as attached devices.

After intialization i tried all possible variants of and sequences of:

-Beta program toggle, ADB Access toggle
-Plugging USB in and out
-adb kill-server adb start-server adb devices
-reboot the frame

on 2 debian pc's with 3 different cables.

The frames only show up in dmesg when connection to the Type A Plug in the frame.
These are all Type A to Type C Cables.

Using one of the same cable with my Pixel 9 let's me connect via ADB just fine...

Any ideas maybe?

I would suggest asking in the Discord channel. Maybe in both ImmichKiosk's and ImmicgFrame's. I know some people have had issues with USB cables/connections so they may have more insight into the issue.

I believe this was solved by returning the devices and purchasing different models.
