Hello, Here are some basic skills for installing a modded apk on your android. This is good for those with no PC or wish to learn.

Most modded android games usually have a .apk which is the game and a .obb which is a predownloaded file needed to play the game.

Most obb files are compressed and must be exported. Use apps like AndroZip to export.

I like modded apps because you usually don't need a rooted phone.

Steps to get a modded app to work.

1) make sure the app is the version you want this will most likely be the up to date version. You don't want to waste time on a outdated app it may tell you to update or you will be missing content.

2)download .apk and .obb if available. Note if the mod description is for health mod or money mod or ect. there may be multiple apk files that do different things. If there is only a .apk file and no .obb skip to step (5).

3) once installed go to a file manager like AndroZip and export the .obb file it will be compressed in a .zip or .rar file.
Note how much space you have so it won't export half way and the app not work properly. Also note .obb isn't the mod on must occasions so any obb file you find will work long as its for that game. Unless they update the obb which I never experienced. You can also download the game, locate obb and rename it by adding a number or letter or erasing a number or letter but never forget the original name or its unusable, uninstall the game AFTER renaming obb so obb won't delete, then rename it back to its original name.

4) move obb to Android>Obb> and insure its there. If you did the renaming obb possess you can move on to step 5.

5) install .apk and the app should work if not then its the app falt not yours, note some mods may stop working or crash or ban you. Be carefully and don't stress it.


Remeber some mods get tricky these are basics read description of the mod it may help more on tricky mods.


Any more questions feel free to ask or post comments. :D Together we are the Android Republic!

I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean..
 
This is basic stuff. I was actually looking for something to open the apk file with for modification. I'm new to the apk moding scene. I can hex edit a good bit of stuff on avabel but every time I leave the game or change map I have to do it all over again. If I could just mod the apk with the same hex value then it should be permanently till update.
 
Maybe someone has a thread if you wanna learn more as this is called "basic android skills" if you read before commenting...
 
So, when you say to install the latest (most current and up to date) version of an app, you DO NOT mean the playstore original version, right? Or do you start with the playstore original version and ADD the mods to it? I am hoping to begin using mods. I have yet to successfully use any mod. I am reasonably intelligent and fairly tech savvy. Though I have never written code or anything. I'm running an (so far unrooted) S975L S4 from straighttalk with android 4.3. I'm reading and working to figure this out. I gotta say, I feel like a dummy right now. Lol
 
in most cases you're SOL there, its a server check on your version. You would have to at minimum mod the apk (or MITM the check) so the server thinks you have the current version (which is going to be impossible in all but the most obscure places).

Wonder why the shout is always full of update requests on mods? There's your answer
 
Well thats the thing, if its an app that requires most recent version, you can't unless the mod is the same version, only way you "might" would be if the server only does a single check during launch, rare and would differ from app to app. Plus if it actually worked you'd be subject to crashes any time your version didnt have updated code that's now needed. Wish there was a better answer but it is what it is there :/
