Decompiling apps that are out of date

[The punisher 1911]

I'm wondering, has anyone decompiler an apk file and reverse engineered an app? I have an app that isn't ever updated and hasn't been in years. I've emailed the author in Taiwan with no response for 50 times now. I know the ethics are shady but I really need to change the directory this app saves files to

You’ve emailed the author 50 times?

I have, for the purpose of altering OEM firmware functionality. Should you ask about it here? Not unless it’s open source, in which case you wouldn’t need to do this. Check with xda-developers.
