[OC] Build Your Own Dexcom App update- bugfixes and base version updates

Bong Aceron 6/13/2019 10:31:00 PM

Hey all. Its been another 6 months and the previous thread has become archived.

For the uninitiated, the below form will create a custom modified Dexcom app that is compatible with all Android phone models (above the min Android version). In addition, it has options to change/improve some of the major annoyances with the app such as the re-notifying behavior, warmup time, vibration length, unmuting phone, allow screenshots, etc. Besides that, it is the stock Dexcom app and works exactly the same as stock including Dexcom Clarity, Dexcom Follow, Wear OS watch face, etc - the only exception being the Samsung Health and Google Fit integration does not work.

 

I've made a few small updates. Changes include:

  • Update G6 US base version to 1.4.1.1

  • Fixed the bug with international G6 base using mg/dl will now show mg/dl units on the watch app as well

  • Prettified the email a bit

  • Streamlined some stuff on the backend to be more efficient and make base version updates easier

 

Here is the link to the Google Form: Build Your Own Dexcom App

 

Bugs/Incompatibilities

  • Some custom roms (ex. Lineage OS) have an issue that causes an incompatibility with the Dexcom app. If you are running a custom rom and the app doesn't start, you may need to update or switch roms.

  • Samsung Health and Google Fit integration does not work.

Besides that, none that I am aware of, if you have any issues please let me know

 

Problems/Troubleshooting

If your download link is stuck on the Error (400) page after 5 minutes, the dropbox account storage is probably full. Use the referral link below to give the account more space. After that is complete refill out the form to initiate the upload again.

If the app crashes, let me know. It's helpful to know what base version and non-default modifications you selected. I also need logs- Google logcat and follow the instructions using an app or connecting your phone to a computer. Start logging, make the app crash, stop the logging and send me the entire log.

If a build modification doesn't seem to be working, let me know. Let me know which one and what base you are using.

If you are having trouble connecting to a transmitter, there are a few things to try:

  1. If its not a brand new transmitter and you have connected it to other devices, make sure it is completely disconnected from those devices- forget the bluetooth connection on your old device, turn it off etc.

  2. Try forgetting all previous Dexcom transmitters in your Bluetooth settings and then connect to the transmitter.

  3. Make sure you only have one version of the Dexcom app installed- having multiple versions installed can cause problems. Also uninstall xdrip if you have it.

  4. Give all the requested permissions to the app including location, etc.

  5. Make sure bluetooth and bluetooth scanning are on in Android settings. Try connecting to other bluetooth devices to ensure there are no problems with bluetooth on your phone.

 

Wanna help?

The dropbox account used to host the all the apk builds fills up. To increase my space, I need people to sign up for dropbox with this referral link. You must install the dropbox application on a computer to complete the referral. https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/AAAEslWTSoju7weYmKdwItNnA5PHc5Ghyy0?src=global9
