+# Patched Dexcom G6 for Android 1.7.0.3 (mmol/l - international)
+
+This repository provides a patch to remove the application compatibility check of the Dexcom G6 Android application. It also contains a set of scripts to build a patched application for yourself. 
+
+Unfortunately this application is only available for a [limited amount of devices](https://www.dexcom.com/compatibility) - even if it **should** run on most phones with Android 6.0+.
+
+
+## Applied patches
+
+The released APK packages contain the following patches:
+
+-   [Remove compatibility check](doc/remove-compatibility.md)
+
+Nothing else is changed compared to the original Dexcom application.
+
+
+## Bundled tools
+
+Run `init.sh` after cloning the repository. This script downloads the following 3rd party applications into the `utils` folder:
+
+-   [Apktool](https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/) is used for (de)compilation of APK packages.
+    -   Run via: `./utils/apktool.sh`
+
+-   [Bytecode Viewer](https://bytecodeviewer.com/) can be used for investigation of APK packages and creation of smali files ([Dalvik Bytecode](https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/dalvik-bytecode)).
+    -   Run via: `./utils/bcv.sh`
+ 
+-   [JADX](https://github.com/skylot/jadx) can be used for a more comfortable investigation of APK packages.
+    -   Run command line tool via: `./utils/jadx.sh`
+    -   Run GUI tool via: `./utils/jadx-gui.sh`
+
+-   [Raccoon](http://java-decompiler.github.io/) can be used for downloading APK packages from Google Playstore.
+    -   Run via: `./utils/raccoon.sh`
+
+-   [Uber Apk Signer](https://github.com/patrickfav/uber-apk-signer) is used for signing compiled / patched APK packages.
+    -   Run via: `./utils/uber-apk-signer.sh` 
+
+
+## Workflow
+
+-   Run `./ìnit.sh` once in order to download the required applications and to create a keystore for signing the patched application.
+
+-   Open [Raccoon](http://java-decompiler.github.io/) (via `./utils/raccoon.sh`) and download the official Dexcom G6 APK package from Google Playstore.
+
+-   Run `./decompile.sh $APK` (replace `$APK` with the path to your downloaded APK package). The APK package is decompiled and extracted into the local `src` folder.
+
+-   Make your modifications within the `src` folder (e.g. [Remove compatibility check](doc/remove-compatibility.md)).
+
+-   Run `./compile.sh` to rebuild & sign the patched APK file. The script copies the newly created APK file into the local `patched` folder.
+
+-   Copy the newly created APK file from the `patched` folder to your smartphone and install the application.
+
+
