An awesome tool that can be used to create modded / hacked APK files used for almost anything including hacking mobile games. - Without a rooted phone, this app will only really be able to generate modded APKs, so having a rooted device is still recommended, but not necessary.

root file explorer

#14 Root File Explores

Apps such as Root Explorer are called File System Explorers and they basically require root access, but provide you with the ability to browse, copy and paste, change, look at any files on your Android device. This not only allows you to sniff through game files, but also to change your savegames in offline Android games, go change game files to Mod the game difficulty, change ingame prices, change starting Money and Resources, changing health ect. For some filetypes, such as .db and .sql databases you will still need a PC to actually edit them in most cases, but this is a viable option for hacking a game when direct memory editing fails for some reason (mostly value encryption). If you want to be a pro Android game hacker, you need one of these on your phone for sure. - They are also useful beyond just cheating in games and allow you to search for specific filenames on your phone, which is useful when trying to get rid of files that may be detected by online games.

Features: browse all files on your Android device, savegame editing, view, copy, paste, edit files, highly useful for savegame modding / hacking

#15 Cheat Engine APK / EXE

Despite being initially a PC tool, Cheat also released an Android APK version. Cheat Engine and its APK version can be used in 2 ways to cheat in Android games: Either you use the Cheat Engine Android APK version to modify game memory of your game directly. Or you use the PC version of CE to modify memory of an emulator. As time has come and gone, there have been multiple ways of how to modify PC Android emulator memory using Cheat Engine. While it has always been possible to do, at some times and through certain versions of Android it has been easier than at other times. You may want to play around with using old versions of certain Emulators if the current ones are not doing the trick right now. The PC version of CE can be downloaded here. The APK version can be found here.

download

Features:  Memory editing on Android emulators, simple memory editor for Android, the most in-depth software there is on PC, not as good on Android, perfect for use on Android emulation tools to modify games indirectly

 

apk modding tools

#16 APK Decompilation / Modding Tools

The Decompiling of APK files is the foundation of APK modding in which a decompiler program takes the (game) APK and decompiles it into the basic Resources and scripts that make up the APK game packet. – This then allows the modder to edit, reverse-engineer modify and change Resources and Smali machine code inside the Game in order to either implement visual changes or cheats, such as Unlimited Money and Gems for offline games, Wallhacks, speedhacks, automated actions ect for online mobile games. At the end of the process, the APK is recompiled and ready for use as a cheat. – However, in our experience this suite of tools and methods is most suited to very advanced programmers or cheaters and is less so suited for newbies. On the other hand, APK modding tools work on all Android games and all Android games can be hacked using this method to some extent.

download

Features: APK modding works on any game to some extent, creates permanent cheats, best was to cheat in Android games, not for beginners or newbies, extremely difficult to learn and execute, works on all Android games

 

game killer

#17 Game Killer / Gamekiller APK

GK is another good memory editor to hack almost any game on your Android OS. Allows you to search for values and edit them, provides HEX editor functionality and allows you to save and load memory locations. Allows you to search using vague directions, such as value increased or value decreased aside from exact number scans. - In our personal opinion this serviceable, but you might struggle to get it to work on certain emulators. Some people say that this does not require a root, but that logically makes no sense at all, since it has to access other apps to work and that is impossible without a rooted device. Game Killer can be downloaded here.

download

Features: value Scan (exact value), value scan with vague directions, hex edit, save and load lists of addresses and edits

 

freedom apk

#18 Freedom APK

As the name might imply, this app makes in-app Purchases free. Freedom app for Android basically allows you to emulate in-app Purchases for 0$ and therefore allows you to get a lot of free stuff in some Android games. It works for a huge number of the popular non-online (offline) games. However, it does require a root in order to emulate the fake purchases through the store and enable you to get lots of free premium currency, gems, cash, unlimited Money ect. – However, in our experience this app only works on a small subset of all Android games, as most the major-league Android mobile games use servers to validate in-app purchases. But on the games that do not use any online aspects and require no internet connection to play, yet still sell you microtransactions, this tool may very well work. Freedom APK app can be downloaded here.

download

Features: Free in-app purchases in some games, free premium currency, gems, Diamonds, rubies, 0$ Purchase hack

creehack

#21 Creehack

Another emulator / faker tool app for free game shop purchases on Android games. Creehack will simulate transactions and turn real money purchases into 0$ cost payments that do not require any payment methods connected, allowing you to get free gems and premium stuff in games that do not have to be connected to the internet. It will not work for online game apps that need to be connected to game servers to run, since those usually store your inventory, money and gems on the servers which cannot be edited using any tools. - Again, in our experience this only works on a smaller and smaller subset of games, but worth a shot if the other tools do not work. Creehack can be downloaded here.

download

Features: free in-app purchases, emulation for microtransaction payments

 

gamecih

#22 GameCIH

This is one of the first and most popular memory editors that have ever been released for Android devices. However, the app has not been updated since 2012 and has stopped working for some devices.

It allows you to easily scan for values and then edit them. - This app is perfect for older phones with outdated firmware and Android OS, also an alternative to the more recent value editors if nothing else works for your device of the specific game you are looking to cheat in. This app as all of these memory tools, will require root privileges to complete scans and change numbers in your phone memory. GameCIH can be downloaded here.

Xmodgames even allows for the running of Lua Scripts (Bots) that can automatically perform actions such as raiding, collecting rewards, doing social reward collection ect.

So do be very careful and please don’t use this on your online games before testing it on a separate device on a dummy account. Xmodgames can be downloaded here.
