upstream webview issue not crDroid related, but may get fixed with next webview updates

@gwolf2u Well, I tried disabling / uninstalling the default Webview present in the system partition, and replaced it with the Google Webview installed from Play Store app. I also tried installing this playstore webview as system app. But I still face the same error in multiple apps.

Should this not have disapperared if it was related to the already installed webview? Doesnt that indicate indirectly that the error is in someway related to crDroid? The ROM has basically become difficult to use because of these continuous errors. Please suggest some solution

there are framework dependencies that need to be addressed you can't just add as system app suggest clean flash with crdroid nikgapps
