[HOW-TO]Flappy Mods | Make your own Flappy Bird!

[BuckyRocks]

@PulseDroid I have a question I hope you don't mind to answer...

First of all, I can't run your APKTool because I can't execute .exe files on my Mac (I don't have windows virtualized or anything either). I wanted to know if there was a chance I could send you all the modified files to match my custom version and you could compile it for me. I that case, thanks in advance!

Well I found a guide to install APKTool on Mac and a guide to decompile and compile the new apk. Right now I'm lost on the next step:

We are NOT done just yet, we cannot use the new apk's... we have to take what we did and add it back to the original apk file to keep proper signature

use something like 7zip, take the 'resources.arcs' file and any other xml files you edited out of the "-new" apk and copy them into Original apk

Your new modded APK is now ready, Congrats

What is it exactly that I'm supposed to do know? After compiling once again I got:

- one folder named "build" inside the original "com.dotgears.flappybird" folder where I have all my replaced .png's
- an .APK file with my custom mod.

Also, after that am I supposed to do something with the "ZipSigner" app or is it either one step or the other?

Thank you for helping me!

Edited: I'm wondering if the graphic I use to swap between the bird and my modded version needs to be same height and width or can it be slightly different?

Bucky far as i know you need the same height and width. See my previous post for the location of atlas.txt and tips you can also search it in the folder but tips always help. I believe flappy bird height and width was 32x32 if you wil make an bigger one you wil only get the one between 32x32. You can make it bigger in atlas.txt i believe but then it wil be unclear when you hit the pipes so i would keep the same resolution.
You need to resign your modded version if you are done.

I'm having trouble doing the resigning process as there is no specific tutorial to do it with the detailed process for Mac. Combined with my null knowledge in this subject, this means I'm stuck, hahaha.

Once I learn how to do it (if somebody cares to help, you are welcome), I'll try with my custom pixels size and if it cuts the drawing, I'll resize it i guess.

Hey guys,

I don't know how works exactly the process to make an Android app and later put it into Google Play... Could this method gives the possibility to upload your own app to it? I think it could be terrible...

Can we put these on google play without making google delete them? Of course if the word "flappy" isn't in the name

I dont think so because u r using another game for base . And i think if u can put it will not be fair... Because preparing a game is not so easy and peeps r putting hardwork on them... i think u get what i mean

Cheers

Flappy Doge is on the Play Store and it's pretty much an exact copy of Flappy Bird.

Says in the splash it's based off of a copy of Flappy Bird

Can't we just do this:

1. Extract FlappyBird apk (it's a folder now)
2. Change the .png files you want to change
3. Zip the whole folder when you're done with replacing files
4. Rename to apk.
5. Sign with Zipsigner app (use 'platform' mode)

I used this method multiple times for different applications without pc and it worked flawless.
This is like the definition of simple and I can't see why we have to use that method which needs a pc and can be quite complicated.
I heard something with you can't change the app name, but there are plenty of simple tools which you can change the app name..
Please correct me if I'm wrong

Is that not what is said here? All the extra stuff is about editing the files you want and where they are

I see it now, but where is decompiling and recompiling for? Can't I just extract with Root Explorer or any other app instead of using a pc? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I think to change the smalli to make game changing mods, like adding extra lives for example

If I just want to change the look of the game, other bird or background, (the atlas.png file), can I just use the method I just gave? Because I don't want to go through all that if I can do it more simple without a pc

yea, you could. You can also use like winrar on the computer and pull and push the pngs too if you wanted also

Alright, thanks for the help!

So I'm trying to edit the atlas file with Photoshop, but i dont really have that much experience with it. How would i swap out images for the one in the atlas file? For example im trying to somehow select the blue bird to replace it, but it doesn't select. Again i'm sorry if this question seems too simplistic...

And if these do work out, can we put them on the playstore to share? Or would that violate something. Thanks in advance :good:
