Manifest Patcher

Welcome to the Official AMEditor Channel

Manifest Patcher (AMEditor) is an advanced, on-device utility designed for reverse engineers and privacy-conscious users. It provides precise, PC-free control over any application's AndroidManifest.xml to modify app behavior, improve privacy, and reconstruct APKs to modern standards.

Below is an overview of the core capabilities introduced in our initial release.

🛡 Core Features

1. Automated Manifest Sanitization Streamline the modding process with automated cleaning. AMEditor detects and purges known telemetry tags, ad-trackers, and intrusive permissions. It safely neutralizes unwanted background services and receivers by injecting android:enabled="false" and android:exported="false", ensuring the app remains stable while disabling tracking.

2. Modern Cryptographic Signing Engine Powered by Google’s official apksig library, the rebuilding process is fully compliant with modern Android security requirements (Android 11+).

Supports V1, V2, and V3 signature schemes.

For now, it exclusively supports PKCS12 (.p12 / .pfx) keystores and raw Platform Keys (.pk8 + .pem).

3. High-Performance XML Preview Instantly decode binary AXML to human-readable XML. The built-in viewer features native, dependency-free syntax highlighting for clean and immediate inspection of the manifest structure.

✨ Advanced Tooling: Interactive "Custom Patch" Editor

For users requiring surgical precision, the Custom Patch feature transforms the app into a visual DOM editor.

Touch-Based Modding: Tap any XML tag to define its fate.

🔴 Delete (Red): Completely removes the node and its children from the APK.

🟡 Deactivate (Yellow): Preserves the node but safely disables it within the Android system.

Smart Tree Hierarchy: The engine maps the XML DOM in the background. Selecting a parent node (e.g., <activity>) automatically cascades the selection to all nested children (e.g., <intent-filter>).

Index-Based Precision: Actions are executed based on exact node occurrence indexes rather than just names, preventing conflicts with duplicate or unnamed tags.
