Help! Updating modded apks

[Marukonus]

How does one updated a modded APK by themselves if dev has disappeared? Libraries and other things need to be updated. Is it possible to do this yourself with tools?

You can fake update in AndroidManifest.xml changing androidVersionName and androidVersionCode to the latest one, if it works you can keep using the same mod on the latest version of the game

The library files are v7 in the mod, v8 in recent version. 1.7.18 vs 1.7.20. do I need to update those? Also do I need to resign?

I also need to change the package name so I can have both installed on same device. Does that screw everything else up?

Just a black screen. Mod menu loads though. Trying to find the error log

This is impossible without the mod menus source code project files which only the modder who created the mod apk has. Moving the mod to a new version requires the modder to update offsets etc.

Ugh.. so absolutely no work around?

No, offsets change in each version. If you really want to mod the newest version, learn how to create your own mod menu or wait for a modder to release an update

I can only learn so fast, which I'm doing.

Out of curiosity, what game are you trying to mod? Maybe I can look into making a mod menu for it in my spare time

Oops I thought I had it attached but that is my other post. Squad Alpha. Favorite game, and have been studying the files/code as well as modding tools. Also been looking at the OS as well. Unfortunately I have an unlocked fold 5 US version, so it is impossible to unlock bootloader to root. I will eventually buy an overseas version.

FYI You don't need root to make a mod menu

Oh I know. But there are so many things I could do with root.

I will not have personal cell phone access for awhile starting in October. When I get back I will pay for lessons. But trying to learn as much as I can now.
