Dalvik opcode parser

I'm reverse engineering some Dalvik obfuscator, of android applications. After the de-obfuscation, I have the correct bytecode that should be executed by the Dalvik machine, however I'm not sure how I can parse it for static reverse engineering. I know there are solutions such as JEB, and there is an opensource solution such as JADX, However I'm looking for something which feels more like: Capstone disassembler, which can take assembly bytecode, and translate it to opcodes. I want the same thing with Dalvik byte code, and I was hoping a solution could come from here.

The problem with JADX is that it needs to parse the whole DEX file, and it cant just take the byte code. I understand it might be awkward, as some opcodes require strings by IDs (which are only available through parsing the DEX file), but I am looking for a more generic solution where I could see the dalvik code, with perhaps missing parts like <String ID:0xAA>

I wouldn't mind also patching the opensource code to achieve what I want, but the sources feel a bit complicated, so any tips will be appreicated
