+# Telegram-FOSS
 
 [Telegram](https://telegram.org) is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security. It’s superfast, simple and free.
-This repo contains the official source code for [Telegram App for Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegram.messenger).
 
-## Creating your Telegram Application
+This is an unofficial, FOSS-friendly fork of the original [Telegram App for Android](https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram).
+
+This version of Telegram is available on FDroid:

+
+## Changes:
 
-We welcome all developers to use our API and source code to create applications on our platform.
-There are several things we require from **all developers** for the moment.
+*Replacement of non-FOSS, untrustworthy or suspicious binaries or source code:*
+- Do location sharing with OpenStreetMap(osmdroid) instead of Google Maps
+- Use Twemoji emoji set instead of Apple's emoji
+- Google Play Services GCM replaced with Telegram's push service
+- Has to show a notification on Oreo+, ask Google
+- **SECURITY:** Old BoringSSL prebuilts are replaced with the newest upstream source code built at compile time
+- **SECURITY:** Old FFmpeg prebuilts are replaced with the newest upstream source code built at compile time
+- **SECURITY:** Bundled libWebP is updated
+- Bundled libvpx prebuilts for x86/x86_64 are replaced with the newest upstream source code built at compile time
 
-1. [**Obtain your own api_id**](https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id) for your application.
-2. Please **do not** use the name Telegram for your app — or make sure your users understand that it is unofficial.
-3. Kindly **do not** use our standard logo (white paper plane in a blue circle) as your app's logo.
-3. Please study our [**security guidelines**](https://core.telegram.org/mtproto/security_guidelines) and take good care of your users' data and privacy.
-4. Please remember to publish **your** code too in order to comply with the licences.
+*Removal of non-FOSS, untrustworthy or suspicious binaries or source code and their functionality:*
+- Google Vision face detection and barcode scanning (Passport)
+- Google Wallet and Android Pay integration
+- Google Voice integration
+- HockeyApp crash reporting and self-updates
+- Google SMS retrieval. You have to type the code manually
+- Google ML Kit
 
-### API, Protocol documentation
+*Other:*
+- Allow to set a proxy before login
+- Added the ability to parse locations from intents containing a `geo:<lat>,<lon>,<zoom>` string
+- Force static map previews from Telegram
+- No content restrictions
+
+## Versioning
+
+This repository contains tags to make tracking versions easier.
+
+Versions are in form "v$UPSTREAM$RELEASE" where:
+
+* $UPSTREAM is the public, visible version of upstream.
+* $RELEASE is a letter ([a-z]) indicating minor releases between official versions (sometimes, upstream is updated without relating the changes to an specific version).

-### Compilation Guide
+## Building
+
+**NOTE: Building on Windows is, unfortunately, not supported.
+Consider using a Linux VM or dual booting.**
+![WindowsSupport](/tgfoss-build-under-win.gif?raw=true)
+
+**Important:**
+
+1. You need the Android NDK, Go(Golang) and [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/) to build the apk.
+
+2. Don't forget to include the submodules when you clone:
+      - `git clone --recursive https://github.com/Telegram-FOSS-Team/Telegram-FOSS.git`
+
+3. Build native FFmpeg and BoringSSL dependencies:
+      - Go to the `TMessagesProj/jni` folder and execute the following (define the paths to your NDK and Ninja):
+
+      ```
+      export NDK=[PATH_TO_NDK]
+      export NINJA_PATH=[PATH_TO_NINJA]
+      ./build_ffmpeg_clang.sh
+      ./patch_ffmpeg.sh
+      ./patch_boringssl.sh
+      ./build_boringssl.sh
+      ./build_libvpx_clang.sh
+      ```
 
-**Note**: In order to support [reproducible builds](https://core.telegram.org/reproducible-builds), this repo contains dummy release.keystore,  google-services.json and filled variables inside BuildVars.java. Before publishing your own APKs please make sure to replace all these files with your own.
+4. If you want to publish a modified version of Telegram:
+      - You should get **your own API key** here: https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id and create a file called `API_KEYS` in the source root directory.
+        The contents should look like this:
+        ```
+        APP_ID = 12345
+        APP_HASH = aaaaaaaabbbbbbccccccfffffff001122
+        ```
+      - Do not use the name Telegram and the standard logo (white paper plane in a blue circle) for your app — or make sure your users understand that it is unofficial
+      - Take good care of your users' data and privacy
+      - **Please remember to publish your code too in order to comply with the licenses**
 
-You will require Android Studio 3.4, Android NDK rev. 20 and Android SDK 8.1
+The project can be built with Android Studio or from the command line with gradle:
 
-1. Download the Telegram source code from https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram ( git clone https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram.git )
-2. Copy your release.keystore into TMessagesProj/config
-3. Fill out RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD, RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS, RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD in gradle.properties to access your  release.keystore
-4.  Go to https://console.firebase.google.com/, create two android apps with application IDs org.telegram.messenger and org.telegram.messenger.beta, turn on firebase messaging and download google-services.json, which should be copied to the same folder as TMessagesProj.
-5. Open the project in the Studio (note that it should be opened, NOT imported).
-6. Fill out values in TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/messenger/BuildVars.java – there’s a link for each of the variables showing where and which data to obtain.
-7. You are ready to compile Telegram.
+`./gradlew assembleAfatRelease`
 
-### Localization
+# DIGITAL RESISTANCE
 
-We moved all translations to https://translations.telegram.org/en/android/. Please use it.
