[Bug] Android tint is utterly broken

After looking into it a bit, it seems that the webview may not support difference blending on android for canvases. It seems to say it's supported, but when it comes to actually drawing it, I compared the ToneSprite on canvas mode with my phone and computer, and the one on my computer worked fine, but the android one didn't. So my guess is that Android phones don't properly support difference blending or canvases?

In some webkit browsers (Lightning) or firefox mobile it works perfectly fine. Usually android chrome should support more render features than a regular webkit browser. So it doesn't seem to be a hardware thing, and if crosswalk truly doesn't support it that does seem a bit strange...

Since other webkit browsers on android can do it, I'm wondering if there's maybe a better alternative framework to crosswalk? Combined with the audio problems I'm seeing I'm not sure if it's a good choice.

CocoonJS might be worth a look, I know it's recommended by the developer of ImpactJS, which is another HTML5 game engine.

Any kind of screen effect only takes up 2/3 of the screen on my android phone LG g4

Lighting, weather, fog, fades, transitions, you name it

I tested with RPG Maker MV tech demo

Still, I don't understand why crosswalk is so buggy (incorrect canvas blending, audio drops out under certain conditions, ...), it's just frustrating.

I have not had any issues with the audio dropping out. Have you tried an updated version or Crosswalk? The manual uses version 10, as it was the stable release at the time of writing, but they're already up to 15 being stable, with 16 in beta and 17 in canary. Perhaps try one of those, to see if it fixes your issues.

If you've been testing on a newer version, perhaps try using version 10 specifically? Maybe something the Crosswalk Project updated later on broke the blending, and they haven't noticed it yet.

Also, I'm curious, what other bugs have you encountered with it? You say that it is "So buggy", but only list two issues and an ellipsis. Have you encountered other bugs, or are you just that upset over these two?
