# bejeweled-classic
|
|
|
|
## The main 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What's different
|
|
|
|
- [v2026.7.7] Changed storage location from `/data/app/0/...` to `/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.ea.gp.bej3/` for exposing the savestates and stored settings
|
|
- [v2026.6.10] Changed the `xlargeScreens` afrom `false` to `true` to fix the forced landscape issue
|
|
|

> 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)
|
|
> - [diff](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/diff.1.html) (optional)
|
|
> - [patch](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/patch.1.html) (optional if changes are applied by hand)
|
|
|
|
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. Run `sh apply_patch.sh`
|
|
4. 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`
|
|
5. Recompile and sign the apk with `sh recompile_and_sign.sh`
|
|
- Alternativly run `sh recompile_and_install.sh` for directly installing it via adb
|
|
6. Install the `bejeweled_classic_fix.apk` by transfering it to your phone or via adb, make sure to uninstall the existing app beforehand
|
|
|
|
### Patching
|
|
|
|
#### Apply patch
|
|
```sh
|
|
sh apply_patch.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Generate `changes.patch`
|
|
Decompile the same APK to `./out_orig/` and do you chancges in `./out/`
|
|
```sh
|
|
sh generate_patch_diff.sh
|
|
```
|
|
You may want to add a different app version like `android:versionCode='18101' android:versionName='3.8.1_2026.7.7'` to the `AndroidManifest.xml` file, otherwise the version which will be displayed in app info will be `3.8.1`.
