Features ng APK Editor

  1. Modify App Name
  2. layout re-architecting
  3. Remove Ad
  4. Make an App can move to SD Card
  5. Remove Unwanted Permissions

APK Editor is a powerful tool that can häçk apk files to do lots of things for fun.String localization,background image replacement, layout re-architecting, and even ad eliminating, permission removing, etc can be easily done using APK editor. What it can do depends on how you use it. However, to use it well, we need a little bit professional skills.
To get started with it, just open an apk file either from a folder or installed apps. It will display some editable information inside the apk. Make some changes as you want, and then click the save button in the upper right corner. That's all! Easy to use, isn't it? In following part, I will give you some examples. For convenience, I will take 'MyAppSharer’as the target apk file.


Modify App Name

  • Select target app by clicking 'Select Apk from App' and then selecting 'APK Editor’
  • Editable information is showed after clicking the app, input 'APK Editor' to search the target string item, and then change the value to your favorite. For example, here we change it to 'Android app editor’

  • After installing

  • Click 'Resource' tab after editable resource shown, and then enter 'drawable' folder by clicking at the item. Click 'ic_delete.png' and it will prompt us a page to select an image to replace it. Just select the image you've prepared. (the format MUST be the same, in this case, it must be a png file)

Make an App can Move to SD Card
(ONLY available in pro version, try my another app "Apps Movable" if you don't have pro version)

  • Click 'Manifest' tab, and then click at the line of manifest (Generally should be line 2)

(ONLY available in pro version, here we will demonstrate how to remove internet permission)

  • Select target app by clicking 'Select Apk from App' and then selecting 'häçk App Data'

  • Click 'Manifest' tab, and then click at the lines of uses-permission (Should be line 4-6). Find out the line which contains the name of "android.permission.INTERNET".







  • Long click at the line, it will prompt a dialog like:

  • Click at 'Delete' menu.

Paalala lang po sa mga taga PHC na ang Reverse engineering ay hindi madaling trabaho, please note:
  • In "Resource"/"Manifest" tab, you could try long clicking for more operations.
  • Most crash issues are caused by out of memory. In such case, please kill all unnecessary apps, completely exit APK Editor, and try it again.
  • Please avoid using it to modify big apk files, as it may consume lots of CPU and memory resources which is beyond device's ability.
  • We do NOT guarantee that it can edit all the apks.
  • The modified apk may not work, use it at your own risk. So always keep backup of your android apps before trying it.

Ayos! Salamat dito.

Tanong lang, instead of removing the ad, hindi ba mas okay na tanggalin na lang diretso ang permission ng INTERNET para in that way hindi na rin lalabas ang ad?
 
ang maitatanong ko lang dito papano ba maglalagay ng config sa ovpn gamit ito.. yung hindi kana mag iimport.. ts pwede moko pm sa sagot.. salamat ng marami.
 
Sorry for lacking of details due to limitations of uploading of the image in each thread.

Because the image is very important so we can easily learn everything and not be confused with simple tutorials
