what preinstalled apps do you disable and what carrier are you on?

Did you disable Chrome first? According to the thread I linked above, the two won't run together in Nougat. That also means the update option won't be available in Play if Chrome is still enabled.

So basically Chrome is replacing WebView in Nougat, which is what devs would use when they wanted to display web pages/content in their apps.

Google explains how Chrome will become WebView in Android 7.0

"Android has long provided a way for developers to show web content in apps without implementing a full browser with WebView, but the nature of this component has changed a lot over the years. It became Chromium-powered, was unbundled from the system, and then got a beta channel. Starting in Android 7.0 Nougat, WebView will actually be Chrome.


For Chrome to handle WebView rendering, you'll need to be on v51 or higher with Android 7.0. The default behavior in this instance will be for the Chrome APK on your device to render Android System WebViews. Google says this is more memory-efficient than using the current WebView. The standalone WebView APK will no longer be updated via the Play Store as long as the Chrome rendering remains enabled on your device.

Should you want to change the WebView rendering mode, that will be in developer options under "WebView implementation." You can choose between v51 or a higher build of Chrome (stable, beta, dev) on your device or the regular WebView APK."

Hit the ... in the top right and tap show system apps. That reveled a few more things that I wanted to disable.

Nice, thanks

What method do you use to stitch together multiple screenshots? I really miss that feature from the note 7. I looked in capture + and couldn't find anything to do it

Good question, because I didn't manually disable it. I also noticed the enable button was greyed out, and enabling it from the Play store wasn't working either. A quick search brought up this thread.

Why can't I re-enable the Android system webveiw? - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

I disabled Chrome, and was able to enable System Webview. It appears to be a Nougat thing, and can't have both enabled at the same time. I'm now wondering if this is the cause of Chrome not working right with Facebook picture uploads. I need to look into this more.

I still use plastic, and I have Peel for a remote app because it also gives me a listing guide.

I'll have to give Peel a try, I'm fairly new to Andoid, was an iPhone user for many years before the N7 and now the V20 (which I love).

I actually don't "like" Peel, it's just the only app I know of that is both a universal remote and tv guide listing. The interface is somewhat clunky with a lot of features I don't care for, and also has ads. I loved how HTC's remote app used to function on the M8. It was based off Peel and used their guide service, but was much more streamlined. Unfortunately HTC killed it off and steered everyone to Peel's own app. Boy did Peel get a mouthful in their Play reviews when that happened. XD
