Every modded apk I install crashes

I've tried every web on the megathread to download modded mobile games but for some reason it doesn't matter where do I download from they just crash. For example, I have downloaded a game from revdl and it works perfectly, but if I download the same exact version but modded it crashes. Maybe it has to do with MIUI? I have no idea, I used to install games from an app called happy mod and they worked nice.

Personally I have used Mobilism for years and it is simply the best site to download apk with pay options unlocked, although sometimes there may be crashes, from my experience can I say it, but it is not the most normal.

Have you checked that the apk you are downloading is compatible with your device? For example, depending on the age of your device and the version of Android you should download apk that are armeabi-v7a (old architecture) or arm64-v8a (newer architecture), although there are also apks that bring all versions in one.

I'm looking on Mobilism for stuff and all the forum comments make the releases seem suspicious

I use it because it is in the Megathread of FMHY, apart from that I have never had problems but obviously you have to use common sense because anyone can upload a file as in any torrent site. My setup is a firewall (RethinkDNS in my case) that blocks internet access to the application as soon as it is installed and suspicious domains, download only from known uploaders like Balatan and do not give permissions blindly, and when in doubt there is VirusTotal.

Ah ok

It's not an architecture problem, as I said, I downloaded the same game from the same web and the modded one crashes while the normal one didn't. I don't understand...

Personally I have never used a Xiomi device to comment on whether it is a problem or not, but maybe it is, maybe it is like Windows Defender that deletes cracked .dll files when installing a pirated program or game and then the program does not start for no reason because of that.

I know that it's been some time but I just found this. There's an option on developer opts that allows you to see crash reports. This is what I get. I know this might not be the place to ask about this. But as it only happens with pirated / modded apks, support forms wont help me.
