[@kojoowusu-ansah7427]

boss going over your video again i realized you did two things, one is you used the the jd-gui to get a first set of files and you also used the Framework to get another set of files so whats the difference between the two?

[@gamedoughhh]

one for java file and the other for xml file

[@MasterMeto-j9d]

Can I add custom data to apk to become modded apk?? Like subway ultimated money & keys. I want to do the same in different games

[@abyoubbyou1252]

it's hard. you have files inter apkvtjat are of a specific path. modifying anything means you must change path tobrecognize your new/modified code.

[@nassahwisei9034]

thank u so much much i have one question ..!! how to combine the both classes and xml files !!

[@DelaroyStudios]

there is always a directory to the xml and java classes that's what you need to copy to the project tree of the app

[@sandeshpol4028]

Sir classes.dex is decompiled but classes2.dex is not decompiled

[@satweek123]

Will it work for apk files generated from Kodular ?

[@bishoplaulentmagike]

How to import those files in Android Studio and export new apk ?

[@DelaroyStudios]

You have to create a new Android project and copy in the classes, layout and manifest contents

[@bishoplaulentmagike]

How to make it back an andriod executable apk

[@kojoowusu-ansah7427]

it works perfectly man you are good..i have a question,so after all this how do i recompile and test?

[@DelaroyStudios]

you have to create a new project and integrate the Java classes with layout so Gradle could build up again. The whole idea of this is to get back your code logic if you misplaced the source

[@digvijayyamagekar7139]

Thanks man. can you tell us how to edit that file on Android studio ?

[@ghamdikar]

thanks so much, I got the source code but how to know what's the program generated it. if I want to use it in Android studio I can't find the gradle file

[@DelaroyStudios]

Gradle is a build tool it dose not sit inside the apk it only builds up an apk

[@ghamdikar]

so, how to open the source code into android studio without gradle file? sorry I need to learn

[@DelaroyStudios]

You have to start up a new android project, afterwards study extracted apk layout files used always in xml and as well look its interaction with the java files, sometimes other value xml like strings might be useful.

[@ghamdikar]

can I contact you ?

[@DelaroyStudios]

Am looking for ways I could keep my apps functioning even after seattlecloud suspended it. Kindly help me out as to the question I asked above. Thanks and God bless you.

[@SUNILKUMAR-vb7le]

Sir Thanks but explain how to join these file and import in android studio please in another video

you would possibly create a new project and setup all the necessary classes

[@livlop]

Thank you!!! this is great. Now how can I defend my code to this? .... what tips can consider? Thanks my friend. Really all your videos are very interesting.

[@DelaroyStudios]

when you say defend your code, what do you mean by that?

[@livlop]

+Delaroy Studios uhmm obfuscate the code for example. create libraries separately is good idea?. I want protect my code for decompiler programs. Or at least the logic of some important classes (sensitive process).... save the password encrypted in the keystore....

[@DelaroyStudios]

Ok I understand you now, I would come up with how to obfuscate your source code in subsequent videos. Thanks

[@livlop]

+Delaroy Studios .. Oh thanks you my friend.. really I'll appreciate that. Thank you very much for all your videos. You are the best!!!
