Android gba rom hacking tutorial
Hello everyone
Today I will tell you how to do gba rom hacking in android .
Required apps
1 - Exagear strategies
2 - Lucky Patcher
3 - Hackers Keyboard (optional)
So let's discuss about every application clearly
Exagear Strategies
This app can be used to use pc application such as Advance map and PKSV ui. As every gba rom hacker knows
Coding and mapping takes all the time.
So you use this app.
You can download it's xapk from Apkpure .com and Here is a tutorial for the setup ( not by me )

Now you know how to setup ExaGear Strategies. Now let's move to the next application on our list.

Lucky Patcher
ExaGear strategies requires you to pay to use it (there is sample mode but it only lasts for 3 days , then you have to buy it)
So , I use Lucky patcher to manipulate the application , So that it does not take my real money.
Download it from the lucky patcher website ( You will first have to download Lucky patcher installer then you have to install Lucky patcher )
Here is the tutorial for using Lucky patcher to hack Exagear Strategies (By me) -

Hacker's Keyboard (Optional)
You can use your mobile keyboard by just tapping with 4 fingers at the screen and then selecting the keyboard.
But for your kind information your written text won't be shown until you click Phone back button , in simple language it won't show your written text until you close your keyboard. Hacker's keyboard completely changes that , now you can see your text while writing in Exagear strategies. Plus now you can even have a permanent notification which whenever you click will open Hacker's keyboard. If you use 4 fingers technique to open keyboard then you will have to give a lot of trials.
Download it from playstore
Here is the tutorial for Hacker's Keyboard (By me) -

Wait this hasn't ended here are few things that you should know -
1 - You can zoom in Exagear strategies and zoom out.
2 - You can't zoom in and out while using you phone keyboard.
3 - You can zoom in and out while using hacker's keyboard.
4 - Some of you might ask 'why you didn't included G3T mobile app and starter swapper mobile app?' See that work can be done while using pc , mapping and coding are the work which takes time.
5 - 'Why you uploaded this tutorial'
Simple answer - All the apps which I didn't included said 'Now you can gba rom hack anywhere' Well coding and mapping is important and takes time , that's why
6 - 'I am a newbie , can you explain me about android gba rom hacking'
Check out my channel for that. Link - https://youtube.com/channel/UCo4q4psxCfBgc_YEaSNv7aA
7 - 'I don't know PKSV ui coding'
Just use pokecommunity for that and you can watch my channel if you can't find things. https://youtube.com/channel/UCo4q4psxCfBgc_YEaSNv7aA
8 - 'Is it possible to create a full rom hack on android'
Sadly no , You can create items and create sprites , use advance text but an important thing can't be done. Creating trainers is not possible, you cannot create trainers through any kind of applications. Still there is a way (which I think don't exist). Through editing raw values (Which I don't know how to)
Well that's it.
Thank you
Edit - Now you can create trainers also. So now it's technically possible to create a gba rom hack. Well it will take time for graphic changes but soon I will figure them out. Here is the link of my video on how to create Trainers on Android - https://youtu.be/wt6Zrcwrj5s

You can use unlz.gba and advancemap 1.92 in exagear (I dunno about other tools but I tested some and only these 2 worked).You can also use a hex editor from playstore (I forgot the name)

Yeah that's true , but it's kinda hard to understand how Unlz works and Now you can create trainers also. Here is the link of my video about that - https://youtu.be/wt6Zrcwrj5s
Wait I forgot to tell but not all tools work in android. But if you use vbrun 6.0 then some of them might work. Currently my examination is going on , So this is why I am replying you late.

Hi bro I wanted to ask that the link u uploaded the tutorial to hacking the exagear app with lucky patcher but it is private so can u just tell the steps (btw love ur tutorials they're really helpful).

Pokemon Prism is one of the most popular ROM hacks out there, not only because its been around for a while but because it is one of the best Pokemon ROM hacks out there.

Unlz.gba and AdvanceMap 1.92 are tools used for ROM hacking in the Pokemon game series. To use them in ExaGear, you can follow the steps below:

1. Download the Unlz.gba and AdvanceMap 1.92 files to your Android device.

2. Open the ExaGear app and select the "File Manager" option from the menu.

3. Navigate to the folder where you have saved the Unlz.gba and AdvanceMap 1.92 files and select them.

4. Right-click on the Unlz.gba file and select "Open with > VisualBoyAdvance" to open the tool.

5. Use Unlz.gba to extract the graphics you want to modify from the Pokemon ROM.

6. Next, right-click on the AdvanceMap 1.92 file and select "Open with > Wine" to launch the tool.

7. Use AdvanceMap 1.92 to modify the map and insert the previously extracted graphics as required.

Note that running these tools on ExaGear requires a decently powerful device to ensure smooth operation. Additionally, make sure that you have enough storage space and a good internet connection to download and install the necessary files.
