Certain function CamAps fx (Diabetes) doesn't work

Hello,

I installed 2.7-U on my FP4.

I downloaded CamAps fx via App Lounge but unfortunately a certain function does not work.

I get a warning about the compatibility from the CGM manufacturer.

To be clear I downloaded this App anonymously from the App Lounge. Could it have something to do with the rights of Google store. I definitely do not want to go back to the ‘Google’ Android environment.

In the ‘normal’ Google Android environment with the Google Store I didn’t have this issue.

Hope to hear from you.

Many of these medical apps are horrible data senders into several directions, nobody talks about this but I think this is indeed their main purpose. This makes it difficult to let them run on a device which is in their eyes not as open as expected.

Could be an idea to exclude it from TrackerControl and from IP address faking. Also from a personal firewall using blocklists and other rules, if you have one running. The principle is: you must provide the most “insecure” environment to fulfill the “security” requirements of these apps.

here’s a microg entry (the google compatability layer) for the app (com.camdiab.fx_alert.mgdl)

it’s said to be up to the integrity check. What does the self-check say for your device?

other diabetic apps just for the backlink:

I used the Play Integrity API Checker

X MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY
V MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY
X MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY

While I think that the problem may indeed be related to the Play Integrity check or some missing functionality in microG, some apps also have problems if not installed by the official Google Play Store. You make take a look at [HOWTO] Get around the Google Play Store dependency problem. However, this should only be considered if this indeed seems to be the cause of your described problem.

I never went down the relocking route, but the FP4 should be relockable and MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY should pass then.

There are threads on both topics in the forum, make backups, make sure to not get caught up in rollback protection.

I’m reading about mixing CamAps fx with Xdrip+ and I want to give it a try.
It’s not a option to open the Google-Gate.

I cannot find Xdrip+ in the App Lounge. Is that correct?

yes, it’s not on F-Droid or Playstore.

You can use Obtanium (official link) and add the Xdrip+ repo there.

If you have F-Droid installed, it allows to add custom repo indexes - where IzzyDroid has apps as GlucoDataHandler - IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

I installed 2.7-U Android version 14 on my FP4. Unfortunately Obtanium is not compatible. Any idea why Xdrip+ is not avaible in the App Lounge?

must be up to the “download here” button, as in - the universial build not delivering. If you have a device newer than 2018 it’s armv8 for sure, download that https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases/download/v1.1.40/app-arm64-v8a-release.apk

Xdrip+ not in F-Droid? there’s this fdroid thread (via it repo issue) … looks like the discussion needs a restart
