Bejewled Classic (v3.8.1) has issues with newer high resolution screens, which results in forced landscape mode. In some cases, the inputs are all over the place.

Fix

Download

Download from releases

DIY

Keep in mind that I use linux mint, so some stuff might be a bit different, depending on your distro.

Tools:

default-jdk (more specific apksigner is needed)

apktool (newer versions do work better than what comes from the debian repos)

aapt

adb (optional)

Download the apk or use the one which comes within this repo (I got it from apkpure)
decompile the apk apktool d bejeweled_classic_3.8.1.apk -o out
edit the out/AndroidManifest.xml and change in the <supports-screens> section the value for the attribute xlargeScreens from false to true
Recompile the apk apktool b out -o bejeweled_classic_3.8.1_fix.apk
Generate a key to sign the apk
- keytool -genkeypair -keystore bejeweled-classic.key -alias mykey -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
- Set a password for the key, for example using openssl rand -hex 20
- Answer every question, except the organisation (use anything like your nickname or whatever), with a . dot and finally confirm with yes
Sign the apk apksigner sign --ks bejeweled-classic.key bejeweled_classic_3.8.1_fix.apk
Install the bejeweled_classic_3.8.1_fix.apk by transfering it to your phone or via adb, make sure to uninstall the existing app beforehand

I recommend to disable the auto Updates since they might overwrite the modifications.

XML Line

<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="240" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="false"/>

Needs to be changed to

<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="240" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true"/>
