Install dependencies:\n    - git\n    - Java 11+\n    - [zipalign](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/build-tools)\n    - [apksigner](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/build-tools) (\u003e= 0.9) (this repo contains a vendored copy)\n    - [apktool](https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/releases) (= 2.8.1) (newer versions will probably work, but the patches may need to be updated) (this repo contains a vendored copy)\n    - wget (only needed if downloading the APK)\n2. Run `./vncpatch.sh` (see `./vncpatch.sh -h` for options). To modify the patches, you can amend or add new commits to the git repo created at `./src`, then run `./vncpatch.sh` again.\n3. Uninstall the original app, then install `build/signed.apk`.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpgaskin%2Fvncpatch","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpgaskin%2Fvncpatch","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpgaskin%2Fvncpatch/lists"}
