+
+**android only**
+
+
+Why
+---
+
+Not strictly necessary, but this enables faster BLE scan mode, like in the
+official 'meshtastic' android app.
+
+
+HowTo
+-----
+
+Install the Qt5.15 sources and do:
+```
+$ cd <qt-sources>/qtconnectivity/src/android/bluetooth/src/org/qtproject/qt5/android/bluetooth
+```
+* apply patch `java.diff`
+```
+$ cd <qt-sources>/qtconnectivity/src/android/bluetooth
+$ qmake-android bluetooth.pro
+$ make
+$ chmod +x ~/Qt/5.15.2/android/jar/QtAndroidBluetooth.jar
+```
+
