How can I change allowed name length on Android app? (Blog post)

So I would like to change whatever restricts name lenght from 10 to infinity...
(This may not work on official Innersloth servers but I have seen plenty of 3rd-party ones where people had names much longer than 10; perhaps through cheats?)

As I prefer not downloading cheats from unknown sources (cheating is no fun for me - just need longer names!), I plan to edit this stuff myself and learn something. Please be aware this is my first experience doing something like this so forgive if my advice seems unclear - thats okay as its my first go at doing such things too :P

My problem lies with wanting to do this on Android version of "Among us". According to what I understand, in order to decompile and examine an APK I need to decompile it first and look through its contents.

I already decompiled an APK using ApkTool but was left with folders of files; half are readable but need further decompiling by other tools.

Let me also point out that Im conducting this experiment using the most current version of among us apk available to me at this moment and wish to do it on this version as well.)

After consulting several forums about my problem, many told me to use something designed specifically for using Il2cpp (aka: Ghirda) lib/arm64-v8a or armabi-v7a to access files like Libil2Cpp.so in that directory. So far Ghirda seems suitable but will that change anytime soon?

But the material distributed by Ghirda is large and difficult to read; I often am uncertain of which files or folder I am looking at...

All I want to achieve is eliminating the namelenght limit by editing code from within an appropriate file and changing 10 to something like 999 (this could also happen with binary), compiling my app using my modified code, and installing it onto my phone.

Can anyone tell me where or what steps should be taken next?
