Why are you scared if YOU are the one who modded it in the first place? If you are really that paranoid, test it out in an Android virtual machine or something. https://www.virtualbox.org/ or https://www.qemu.org/
i did that bluestacks is android emulator but it says its broken or something V V V V

I don't think you can simply change the apk to zip, then make changes. You have to build it with the gradlew and command assembleDebug. As for changing files in an apk, I don't know if it's possible. There's an app that can do this on an installed apk.
I suggest APK Easy Tool for that reason. (Too bad it seems to have been discontinued.)

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.+1

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
