What it is
GameEx is an open-source Android memory editor presented for educational purposes. On a rooted device, it can inspect and change memory in other running processes. Users browse running processes, attach to one, and open a floating dashboard while in a game. The project combines a Kotlin Android application for the interface and process management with a native C++ library for memory scanning and access. Its scanner searches integer values, while the memory viewer reads and writes memory in attached processes. Root privileges are required to access another application’s process memory, including its proc memory and maps interfaces. Android API level 26, or Android 8.0, is recommended for full feature support, although older versions may run. The README says the Scan button’s value-search workflow still awaits complete UI integration. Build instructions use Android Studio and Gradle, with the debug APK placed at app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. The authors describe responsible educational use and disclaim responsibility for damage or bans resulting from use.

Strong points and limits
Strong points
- Open-source Android project
- Reads and writes attached-process memory
- Floating dashboard for in-game use
- Native C++ integer-value scanner
- Android Studio and Gradle build instructions
Limits
- Root privileges are required
- Scan workflow UI is incomplete
- Android 8.0 is recommended for full support
- Authors disclaim responsibility for damage or bans
Who it suits
It suits technically experienced Android users studying process-memory tools and able to work with rooted devices and source builds. It is not a finished, general-purpose scanner interface.
Verdict
GameEx offers rooted Android process-memory access in an open-source educational project. Its unfinished Scan integration and root requirement are central limitations.
