To make a long story short:
I'm a diabetic and used to use my old phones (Note 3, Galaxy s6) to read my glucose level with an app called LibreLink. This made being a diabetic so much easier - no need to carry an extra reader with me all the time.
Appearently Samsung S8 and S8+ (and S7) worked fine with the Libre sensors at first - but an OTA update changed *something* and suddenly S7/S8/S8+ no longer worked. And they still don't. Some users have reverted back to an older official firmware to get the sensor readings back, but I'd rather stay on a newer fw because of.. well, deodex, debloat, tweaks... (Currently using Batman rom 1.0 and loving it).

Do we have any developers here that could check if it would be possible to replace/revert the new NFC-files/settings with the ones from the oldest 955F firmware? I really wouldn't know where to start with this...

I noticed that you used your LibreLink. My son is a T1 Diabetic, and we REALLY would like to use the LibreLink, however here in the USA it will not allow me to download the program. Do you or anyone else know how to get this program? PLEASE help.

Thank you! So I downloaded it and it installed fine. However, when I tried to open it it tells me to download it from Google Play. Must be some sort of security. So anyhow something is blocking it... Any thoughts?
