Help! How to mod without dll files

Hi! So if I dont have dll files and I noticed that it has smali files. What Software or applications should I use to mod the game?

Try checking if it has a .OBB file either in the Android/obb/ directory or in the assets folder of the APK itself, otherwise decompile the classes.dex to Java or Smali and check for anything that can indicate it's a Java game ( Sometimes Kotlin too )

For Java or Kotlin just navigate to the game's directory which would be the package name, you can see the package name with something like MT Manager, just click the APK and it will show details about it, you'll see the package name which usually is com.name.name

Com is when it uses the internet ( will be useful if you ever come across issues with a game )

If it's a Java game, then do your modifications first in Java, then compile to classes.dex and decompile to Smali to get the smali, and then copy paste your modified smali parts ( Best way I've found so far but gotta be extremely careful )

For Kotlin I'm not sure if it's like Java or a different way.

For .obb, just rename the .obb to something like .zip, then extract it and do your changes, finally compress it and rename it to .obb

Click to expand...

A text editor can do the job for editing the smali, then recompile it to a .dex again.

I recommend to use something like JADX to see the Java code of it first, then do your changes in smali.

This is so you get a better understanding of how the game works before doing your changes.

I'm new here ad I'm want to make a new Hogwarts Mystery Mod but I don't know where to find the XXX file for Hogwarts Mystery nothing giving me a clue about where the file is.

wow nice

Need help to learn modding for first time after search in ida from loaded android binary, any one can help me how to hook or implement this code to some hook template this code:
