Update browser on Ugoos AM6
👉 The solution is to manually update the browser in the Ugoos device, by following the guide below.
Update browser on Ugoos AM6
1. Install "Android System WebView" either from Google Play Store or via sideloading.
- Google Play Store: Search for and install "Android System WebView" from Google Play Store. (Se image below.)
- Sideloading:
- Download the latest (stable) version of "Android System WebView" from APKMirror. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-system-webview/
- There are many variations of each version. To install on Ugoos you need to download an apk file with "Architecture": arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a.
- An example of version of Chrome 107 can be found here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-system-webview/android-system-webview-107-0-5304-105-release/android-system-webview-107-0-5304-105-4-android-apk-download/
- Download the apk file directly to the device or put on a USB stick. Locate the file in the file system and press install.
2. After installing the new version of "Android System WebView", you need to deactivate the old version of "Android System Webview".
- Go to "Settings" -> "Apps" -> "See all apps" -> "Show system apps"
- Find "Android System WebView" and select "Disable". (See images below.)
NOTE: After installing a new version from Play Store or sideloading, there will be two apps with the same name. Deactivate the oldest version. The oldest version has version number 66 and is also the one with the lowest MB.
Ugoos will then use the latest version of "Android System WebView", and the built-in browser will use the latest version of Chrome (as of November 2022 the version is Chrome 107).
