How to remove flurry ads + fake crash (Android)
Hello, today I'll teach you how to
fix game crash (API key not specified) by removing Flurry Ads. The crash appear
when the apk was re-signed.
I'm unsure if the game developer
tried to customize Flurry ads into fake crash to make modders think their mod
is not working. The API error was in the previous game for long time. I have
seen the company made fake crash function inside ads that detects modded DLL
file and set the timer to make touchscreen stop functioning. Don't always trust
fake bugs/issues. You're been warned!
In this tutorial, I'll remove Flurry
Ads from CSR2 as an example
Let's get started
First of all you need:
- An APK tool to decompile an APK file (I'm using APK Easy Tool)
- Basic smali knowledge
Steps:
Decompile the APK (I'm using APK Easy Tool)
Open Windows File Explorer. Navigate to \smali\com\
and delete the "flurry" folder. If you can't find the folder,
use search.
Navigate to \smali\com\bossalien\racer02\
and delete the following files
* CSRFlurryAdsManager$eFlurryAdState.smali
* CSRFlurryAdsManager.smali
* CSRFlurryIntegration.smali
But wait there are remaining Flurry codes left. Launch Notepad++. Click
on Search -> Find in files and search "Flurry" in the entire smali folder of
decompiled apk
The results will show below.
Under CSRPlayerActivity.smali,
double-click on the lines to open the file and Notepad++ will highlight text
for you. Better use Search -> Find... to find text since double-click
to highlight text in results is buggy
Remove all FlurryIntegration related codes until there are no left.
Don't remove other flurry codes (NmgFlurry) that has nothing to do with
Flurry ads.
Compile the apk and sign the apk
Now you can play re-signed game
