• Getting rid of embedded browsers etc

I know how to modify apps but do not know how to get rid of embedded browsers/social media shortcuts.
if anybody can write instructions here (if feasible) I would appreciate it

    Nhaaps When the apk is decompiled search for things written in the IAB (Like about, legal etc.)

    When you find them just replace the links with [Login to see the link] (localhost - won't open anything) [or if it is an HTML file then you can add target=”_blank" to make them open in the browser]

    I did this to several apps including the Gas Guru app and the Zmanim app (that was on the aff website and was then replaced with one that isn't as good)

        SolF Can you share that zmanim app?

            SolF Can u be more specific pls? im not really sure where to find those things(what is the IAB)

                Nhaaps in app browser. I think I have a simple way, if you tell m an app to test in on I'll let you know

                    whats ur email? (if u dont mind)

                    Nhaaps In the Zmanim app I found the about file (which is the IAB) in
                    assets\com\gindin\zmanim\android
                    and I modified those by removing the link. As i explained earlier you can also just make them open in a browser using target=”_blank"

                    Lev26 Here is the app:
                    (Notice in the about section the links don't work and I added a line 'Cleaned by SolF')
                    [Login to see the link]

                        Nhaaps Yeah, my idea doesn't come close to working. I am still trying to figure out if there is a way without knowing about the app, but as of now I don't know.

                          SolF how do u edit an HTML file

                              Nhaaps Try on the Zmanim app I uploaded above.

                              Decompile it and navigate to the location I mentioned.

                                  SolF FYI i have been seeing that most links from filetransfer.io are flagged as unsafe by edge and blocks the download (you can get around the block though)

                                    Is it better if I use other one (like wetransfer?)

                                    Hey all, just a reminder to please not post any app modifiers or anything that could even potentially be used to modify or distribute unkosher apps. We want to keep this community kosher and inclusive! Thank You!

                                        [Login to see the link] No problem! My message wasn't meant at anyone in particular, just a general reminder since some discussions can potentially be used for the wrong things and we want to avoid that.
