I paid for Puzzle Quest 2 on android like a decade+ ago. It is a local single-player game. It has a validation check when you open the app. That check fails because this game is ancient and the servers are offline.

I want to replay the game I paid for. I have the APK from an APK site. It’s even been pulled from steam to push their crappy p2w pq3. Anyone have tricks to crank an APK and bypass a server check? I’ve decompiled the APK but am in a bit over my head.

    I’m currently also looking at decompiling android apps and understand a bit of smali. If you send me the apk I might look into it.

    If you want to do it yourself, I recommend apktool_m on android. It includes all tools required to decompile the app. It can even show a partially correct java code in apps that are not obfuscated.
