hello. i am interested in how to mod an apk for offline capability.
for example, Asphalt 8 game, is now version 1.2.1b i have searched offline mods, i only find "unlimited money". i just want offline, no money, no nothing.
i have apktool, i have java development, i have signapk, i have software for apk midification. can you guys help me? either make my apk offline, or tell me how to do it?
It's not simple and depends on the app. If you're asking I suppose you have no idea how an app actually works? If so, there isn't much you can do…
Basically, you need to look for the relevant checks and modify/remove them.

i do know how apk's work, in fact i have decompiled and modified a fiew, signed and all such. but only minor stuff in resources or xml. i did not touch the smali. now the problem is i have no idea for what strings to search. except the "enable internet check" and some lines. but i suspect that's not all. because after i modified that, the building gave me 6 errors.

Probably a simple solution for this, however I'm new to making applications and this is frustrating me.
I made a couple of simple apps to view a couple of websites for a work project (we are giving away a couple of tablets for a promotion and want our websites pre-installed in app format).
I just used app inventor to make them as they are really simple. However app inventor won't let me save the apps with spaces or other characters in the name.
The 2 apps just need to be renamed to show as their names when installed "Haystack Info" and "Moore & Scarry". As you can see my current naming is kinda lame and my boss wants it changed.
here are the apks:

I already tried using marketizer but that kept giving me errors, same with "app to market".
Any help is much appreciated
bump for help
anyone? I've searched around and I'm not having any luck with this. I tried de-compiling the apps and editing the manifest but I'm having issues recompiling it
Hello guys, I had an idea and wanted to discuss it with you people that you are definitely more experienced than me, I was wondering if it was possible to create a single apk which is the ROM, or this apk should include the bootanimation, and the launcher would be the apk (or rather a activity in it) ditto for SystemUI framework-res or for short, this apk should consist of the various components that make up a normal ROM, all in one file (except, I think for the folder META-INF because that is read, as far as I know, the default of any recovery, or should create a recovery made on purpose), the benefits would be many of the small size of the system, the speed, the "simplicity" of programming (think that should be programmed to a single apk with all the functions of a system and not to distribute all in many files), but then I came effettivamante doubt that this is not feasible, and so I wondered if you could do the same thing but only for apk (those contained in the app folder)
So what do you think?Is feasible?
No.
R: What do you think?

Don't bump your own thread. Why on earth would we even want to do it? It would increase the size of the ROM, make it extremely hard to debug, and I'm not even sure how it could hypothetically work.
"Joining" all the system apps is certainly possible.
But:
-Seperate apps can be supported and updated better
-One APK with ALL THOSE THOUSENDS of Java code lines is VERY messy
-Compiling it would take long , very long - less attractive to developers
-I can think of much more, but it isn't of any use so I'll stop here.

You'd still need an underlying file system since Android/Java are interpreted languages and require an interpreter to execute the code.
I haven't seen this topic and not even sure if its allowed for discussion on here. So I will take a leap and ask it anyways.
Is it possible to install an APK without the person clicking the install or know its being installed?
I know that this is possible on a computer using java. Seeing that apk are java programs. I am wondering if it will work on Android too.
I believe what its called is Java Drive by. I have heard that there is a new trojan or RAT on the net for androids. And see 90% of users don't have an AV on their phone. This program is able to steal your SMS, Pictures, Call logs and Contacts list. There are other key loggers out there that can be installed to capture your passwords. I am just worried about getting hack and 95% of the Android AV's suck and not worth downloading as I have lost files with some or they drain the battery quickly.

don't give them idea's
jk, but apk's can't install without you pressing install, and if you disable unknown sources you can't even install apk's, so don't worry
Firstly I would like to apologise if I am asking my question in the wrong area. If so then I am happy for a moderator to move to the correct location.
I have some understanding of how to decompile apps, modify and then recompile. All my work is done using APKTool via a command line and a test keystore that I found in a tutorial. I've even recently learnt how to create my own keystore using the Java Keytool. The vast majority of the time I am able to accomplish what I want, by this I mean making small amendments to the code (.xml & .smali) to suit my preference - usually little things such as correcting typos. I am however struggling with Google apps, such as Messenger, Hangouts etc. The process I am carrying out is correct, the app even installs correctly on my Android device. However upon launching the app it will then just crash.
My question is, do Google prevent their apps from being reverse engineered using special tools? I there something else I should be taking into consideration when dealing with Google apps?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
So I've been currently stumbling across old games I've been playing on my android mobile devices as a kid. Since nostalgia overwhelmed me, I went to the GooglePlaystore to Install a certain Game again, I couldn't find it at first, so I used an external link to the Game in the Playstore, installed it then, just to see a Notification in the Home Screen, that the game has shut down and is "no longer playable". Yeah screw that. I found an APK of it, after hours of seraching, that is working, however the Game is completely offline...which is totally fine, except for the fact that I would like to increase the Ingame Currency. Now the question is, is it possible to mod those? I can't use a free in app pirchase mod, sincs, as i said, game is offline so I can't even click on the offers.
I will be forever grateful to everyone who can help my with that, since I am unfortunately still at the beginning of my road in modding. Thanks and have a good day!
I'd be happy if someone could suggest a solution because I also have a nostalgia for a few games. However, I think this case needs a hack and without the right skills it's impossible.

to get an idea what's the effort to mod an APK look inside here:
Decompile an APK, modify it and then recompile it
I need to modify an existing APK, modify the sources and then recompile it. I can decompile it using dex2jar or apktool, it's working great From the jar file I can obtain the java sources (using ...
