What’s a good and safe APK editor for Windows?
I use apk editor studio (I think its called that). It uses apktool so instead of having to run the command from cmd it does it for you. It also simplifies the editing after unpacking like instead of changing the package name from the file you can do it directly from the app. It also provides signing the app (I don’t know if that is through apktool or something else).
Safe? I dont know if your scared its less risky to use apktool directly.

Yea I use this app too, best apk editor in the world. Your computer/laptop probably already has Visual C++ Redistributable. But I think you will need to install Java if you don’t already have it installed
All I need to do is download that java exe and run it and I’m good? (I have no clue what in the world java is).
Yes you need to just install it. Java is a program language and this program is needed to run a lot of apps/programs that were built using java (not all of them) including this one. Can also be used to make java programs and apps

How can I do a simple package rename?
Change it in the manifest
After you unpack the apk there will be a button that says “open contents” and then open “AndroidManifest.xml” from the main folder (best if opened with a coding app like visual studio code and not windows notepad) then you will see “package=”com.android.cocacola.test” (just a example) change that package name to whatever you want, some apks might not work anymore if you change the package name but most of them won’t cause problems. Don’t use spaces, symbols and emojis, only use dots (not 2 dots connected), ABC’s and numbers.

@mufandchush is there an option to lower the SDK?
I get this on ADB install Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK].
You can set it on the right side of apk editor but big chance it wont work
Which option?
