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/

You probably need to resign the APK since you've modified it. There are a few different ways to do it so google "resign apk file" and see which one seems easiest to you. I think APKtool can do it but I can't remember the command line arguments.

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.
