What tools are best for hardcoding?

[jmp7624]

I hope I am posting this in the correct area...

What tools are best to use when hardcoding apps? I have been using APK Editor Pro v1.9.10 but I have seen some windows tools. I had tried a windows tool once before but I always received an error decompiling the app. It would say that java wasn't installed no matter how many times I installed it or tried to use the portable version. I like using the android app because it allows me to swap out images easier.

Any help will be appreciated!

Be sure to install the right java.
I'm using apk easy tool and sometimes apk editor studio
make sure you have notepad ++

MT Manager is my go to application with a clone called MTK or MT Manager Beta which is older but has some unlocked functionality.

I use apk tool cmd to decompile and compile apks and np++ to edit the smali files

There is about 11 of them. Do a full directory search for app_bg.webp and change those

What version of Java do I need? I had it working on a different computer where it accepted the java portable but wouldn't decompile the app. It wouldn't even give me an error message when I was trying to decompile.

What do you use to change the background images and logos? Also what version do you have? Thanks for the reply!

How would I get access to that? I have been trying to search online to rebrand certain apps but I haven't been successful until I came across this site. Right now, I can only do apps that have the hardcode in under smali or something. Trying to learn more but I only have a little experience reading code and thats how I was able to teach myself to hardcode some of these apps. Thanks for the reply! I hear from a lot of app rebranders that Managers helps a lot.

I edit the images I want to size with photo shop and replace them in the decompiled apk before compiling

Easy tool 1.56 is best

Download an Android Emulator like Bluestacks and download it from Google Playstore.

Thank you so much! I'm going to test this out!

Okay good to know! I didn't know if it was different than the Android app. It allows you to replace images pretty easy. I'll definitely do this! Thank you for the reply!

Thanks! I think that's the one I had downloaded but I will double check.

This helps a lot! I have BlueStacks but right now I always seemed to do everything from my phone and it's getting hard to keep up with every installation. This will make it so much easier for me, thanks for the reply!
