I recently tried to compile Telegram (for android) and couldn't get it to work. Just wanted to make a small change (not to add the username to the clipboard when sharing messages).
I may be an idiot, of course, but does anyone have the necessary steps? I did obtain a new api id https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id
The apk installs, but the app doesn't start.
edit: Found this
I'll update source code after next release. @DrKLO on 31/01/2017
