Patching the apk

These steps aren't needed unless you want to host your server somewhere other than the same device, so either on a seperate server/computer.

Prerequisites: - apktool - libhonoka - zipalign (part of the android sdk) - apksigner (part of the android sdk) - A keystore. For your convinience you can download this keystore with the password 123456.

1. Download the modified lovelive sif apk (jp)
2. Run apktool d lovelive-community.apk to decompile the apk.
3. Unzip config/server_info.json from assets/AppAssets.zip.
4. Use libhonoka to decrypt server_info.json. (honoka2 server_info.json)
5. Edit the json file to point to your server.
6. Re-encrypt the json file by running honoka2 -e -j server_info.json.
7. Replace the assets/AppAssets.zip/config/server_info.json file with the new one you patched.
8. Get the md5sum of AppAssets.zip and replace assets/version with the new md5sum.
9. Run apktool b lovelive-community to re-build the apk.
10. Run zipalign -f 4 lovelive-community/dist/<apk name> LLSIF_patched.apk.
11. Sign the apk by running apksigner sign -ks sifkey.keystore LLSIF_patched.apk.

Assuming you did it correctly, your newly signed apk is ready to install and run.
