INFO app for editing apk

[hosting4u00]

whats the best app or program for me to edit apps and change the dns on hardcoded apps. all hardcoded apps on here say search for "yourdns" but i cant seem to ever find it. thank you

there are a few but most people on here will advise to use MT manager
its a learning curve m8 and not much written about it.

I personally use a mix of MT, NP and apk editor ++ for edits.

I'm also learning as I go. APK Editor is great for quick image replacement in the simple edit mode. For smali text edit I use the Common Edit mode and select decode all files, go to files then click on smali. It has the option to perfom search on the smali text, quickly takes you to each instance, where you can make your changes, then you can save it.

The issue so far that I have is the play protect on device where modified app is installed is saying the app is harmful. App works fine but that message continues to appear.

hello friends, I solved this playprotect problem, just signing the apk again, I used the apk signer, and it solved my problems.

Note: I didn't need to disable play protect no.

My opinion I try and use Easy APK tool and Android studio ( Takes some learning and dicking about to get it to work ) some apks just wont play nice with the easy tool, but I prefer it to messing ablout with emulators. MT Manager is the next best option as it tends to play well with other apps without breaking them. APK editor master/ultra/pro aare easy for image swaps, but once again I have these to break some apks...
My current process is to use apk editor ultra to extract the images to a folder, then I transfer to windows and do everything else with the windows tools. I have managed to apk easy tool to decompile and recompile most apps now and is my preferred way to go, but as I said involves alot of head scratching and swearing..
