+## The issue
+
+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](https://apktool.org/docs/install) (newer versions do work better than what comes from the debian repos)
+> - aapt
+> - adb (optional)
+
+1. Download the apk or use the one which comes within this repo (I got it from [apkpure](https://apkpure.com/bejeweled-classic/com.ea.gp.bej3/download))
+2. decompile the apk `apktool d bejeweled_classic_3.8.1.apk -o out`
+3. edit the `out/AndroidManifest.xml` and change in the `<supports-screens>` section the value for the attribute `xlargeScreens` from `false` to `true`
+4. Recompile the apk `apktool b out -o bejeweled_classic_3.8.1_fix.apk`
+5. 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`
+6. Sign the apk `apksigner sign --ks bejeweled-classic.key bejeweled_classic_3.8.1_fix.apk`
+7. 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
