Frankly speaking, taking advantage of exploits in games is not illegal, yet tricky, and is frowned on. Game developers have been taking a number of solutions to prevent cheats in their games. However, cunning players, in some ways, can still perform “hacks” or “mods” in-game.
Today, these terms are widely used in the gaming world to refer to the exploitation of a game’s errors, system, or coding… Rooting your smartphone is the most popular and effective way to cheat or mod an Android game. Still, rooting is a challenging task that poses certain risks, including “bricking” your phone.
In this article, Gurugamer.com is going to share out several ways on how to mod games on Android without rooting.

2. How to mod games on Android by using auto-clickers.
Another tip on making a mod for Android games without rooting your device is utilizing auto-clickers, which are available for free download on Google Play Store.
Note that these apps might not work smoothly on all game titles. It is mostly applicable to the ones that ask for tapping the screen as fast as players can.
There is an array of auto-clickers for players to choose from.

3. How to mod games on Android with Lucky Patcher
Lucky Patcher is likely the best application for modding Android games without rooting your device. Similar to changing the time settings method, Lucky Patcher performs well with offline games without online verification required.
Step 1: Download Lucky Patcher from trusted sources (as it’s not available on the Store) and install it. Do not forget to enable “Allow installation of apps from sources other than the Play Store.”
Step 2: Run the app, ignore all popup messages by tapping NO.
Step 3: Choose the game you want to mod (which has already been installed on your phone) and tap “Menu of Patches.”
Step 4: Tap “Create Modified APK File” then. You will see a wide range of methods to mod your game, pick one from these:
- APK with multi patch,
- APK without License Verification,
- APK without Google Ads,
- APK rebuilt for InApp and LVL Emulation,
- APK with modified permissions and activities,
- Resign with test signature.
As to in-game resources like coins and gems, it’s suggested to choose “APK rebuilt for InApp and LVL emulation” > tick either “Support patch for LVL emulation” or “Support patch for InApp emulation,” just ignore the last option. Tap “Rebuild the app” and wait for a few moments.
Step 5: Once everything is finished, uninstall the original game. Go to your phone’s local storage via File Manager > tap Android Folder > find “LuckyPatcher”. Tap the folder and “Modified.”
Step 6: Search for the patched game folder and open it then you’ll see the APK rebuilt of the game. Now, install it. When it’s done, open and enjoy the hacked game.
Things to bear in mind:
- Lucky Patcher tends to perform well on offline games rather than online-based ones.
- Lucky Patcher does not work on all Android devices.
- Lucky Patcher can even pre-determine whether a game is hackable or not. If the name of the game is colored green inside Lucky Patcher, the success rate of modding that game is high. And in case you see the game’s name in red, it surely cannot be modded.
