Hey,
could anybody tell me, how i can change an icon from an application, downloaded from this cool forum?
Technically it's very easy.
1. open APK with 7zip or winrar, search the folder with the icon, put the new icon in it (correct masses and name) and save.
2. put this apk to the sd card and install.
But now the installation is aborted.
It's not an market app, its an App from here.
Could anybody help please?
1. Make sure the zip/unzip app you use doesn't try to compress the apk
2. You need to resign the app with test keys (you'll need the sdk for this, http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html )
OK. Thank you very much!
I would like to know how to turn my deafult google search widget and my facebook widget to black and transparent
Pull the files with adb to your PC and edit them...
Then push it back...
Make sure debug is enabled and you have root

Use the common System application remove methods to remove stock Facebook and map. (tested myself no problem) then from the market install the version. Then those will behave like other 3rd party applications. No adb. Just modify your apk and install it back like other apps

everytime i replace a file like the bg color in the extracted folder and make it and .apk again when i try to install it i get an error if i extracted and make it again an .apk without changes works like a charm. So i don't know what's going wrong
You need to sign it look for auto-sign.zip on here and download place the edited apk in the unzipped auto sigb folder then run tge .bat file which will sign the apk and create a new cop called your_signed_app.apk
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
This is what i have done. I took the modified apk in zip type put it in the auto-sign folder and then rename it to update.zip. I then run the sign.bat and gives me the update_signed.zip. I install it to my phone successfully now but although the facebook application works fine the widget can't load.
keep it as .apk for unsigned and signed version dont have it as a zip, ive posted a thread with my adw with black google
i know that i am wasting your time but i searched the forum and i can't find something similar. Can you guide me how to modify and fix an .apk step by step if you have time ?
Im at work now il have a go tonight. If you attach the apj il try sign it for you. Took ne a few times to get a workubg auto sigb ckuld be that il post my one tonight. Excuse the typos swypes expires lol stock

Hello everyone......if youre like me and just want to beat the crap out of a game that ticks you off sometimes then this is for you. This guide will explain how to edit the apk for fieldrunners hd. I will not supply or distribute the apk, so please do not ask.
First you will need the apk file you have purchased from android market. If you have an apk from amazon app store it will not work.
Start by changing the file extension from apk to .zip. Next, extract the contents of the file to a new folder on your desktop. (Folder can be named anything you like)
Open folder Assets>Data>HighResolution>Maps
Here you will find 4 folders....Cave, Crossroads, Drylands, Grasslands
Open the Folder for the level you wish to edit. (I will use grasslands as example for this guide)
Look for the files that have a ~map.mp3 extension. Open this file with a text editor like notepad. A few lines into the file will see this "startingHealth="20" startingResources="15". Change these values to anything you want them to be.
If you would like to modify the specs for the towers you can do this as well. I find it fun to make one weapon that just kills everything in one blow.
Open folder Assets>Data>HighResolution>Towers. Look for the tower you would like modify and open the file with a ~tower.mp3 extension in a text editor like notepad. Each tower will have one of these files for it. When opened look for <minDamage="129" maxDamage="129"> There will be a line like this for each level of tower, 1,2&3. Change he values to whatever you like, the higher the number the stronger the weapon.
Now that you have editied all maps and towers you want to it is time to button this up. Select all the files and folders you extracted from the zip file and create a new zip file. I use winzip with no compression. Name your new file whatever you like and save it to the desktop or a place you can find it. Now change the file extension of the new file from .zip to .apk. You will now need to sign the file, you will have to learn that in a different writeup. Once the file is signed it will install and you will see the changes in the game.
Good luck tinkering, do not post apk's here, and please act responsibly.

Dude...i have MIUI up and running...it is rooted, i am using root explorer. Everything is working untill i try to install the signed apk. I am using Andoid Commander to sign the apk...it is not working. Btw, i used the apk i found in the MIUI backup folder, because i could not find the APK in data/app...i know, it is strange...
Strange....i just went through MIUI and could not find the installed apk either. I will let you know when i find it.
EDIT - Found the apk in MIUI. Its is mnt/asec/com.subatomicstudios.com.

So, when i altered the files and so on, do i just deinstall the game? or are there other files i have to remove???
I have the amazon one, and it does not work. can someone pm me to the market version or this version? I've downloaded a few apk's already, and they seem to be the amazon version based on the file contents.
so I have the market apk, but I cannot get it signed properly. Tried zipsign 2, and install went ok, but app could not open. Tried signapk.exe and installed ok, but wont open.
after i re-zip the size changes by over 2mb under and will not install. I have re-signed it. What would cause the size change that much? it should be a few bytes.
Make sure you are zipping with NO compression.

I followed instructions and this will not install. Anyone out there successful?

you need a program to sign it. I finally figured out how to do this.
so to recap, after you made changes to all the files like (I just added 99999 starting money):
grasslands_extended~map.mp3
grasslands~map.mp3
crossroads_extended~map.mp3
crossroads~map.mp3
then you zip it with NO COMPRESSION (or "Store" with winrar)
then use this to sign it(This can be used to sign any apk file):

http://www.fileserve.com/file/F3GT3bK/SignApk-with-bat.zip
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1878513104/SignApk-with-bat.zip
Download file and extract to C:. You should have a folder called "C:\SignApk"
Here are the instructions I made on how to sign it:
1. Copy the apk file to C:\SignApk
2. Rename apk file to "application.apk", then run the "Sign-application.apk.bat". This will produce a "application-signed.apk" in the same folder.
The batch file can be ran under administrative mode if it does not work the first time.
Requires java, and I assume most people have that on their pc already.
EDIT: it took me a lot of research to figure this out as well. Figure I can provide a simpler walkthrough that people can follow.
I'm just wondering, but wouldn't it be easier to use something like GameCIH? It seems less intrusive and easier. If you've ever used cheat engine before, then gameCIH should be a breeze.
i get this message when i tried instal apk "There is a problem parsing the package"
can you all solve my problem??
Can someone post the modded apk in multiupload ? i'm trying with 1.04 version and it doesn't work. Thanks
Works like a charm. Now even my machine guns can take on the blimps in 1 shot
thanks popp. worked like a champ. fun for about 5 minutes, then you realize after modding the game, it just never ends. Cool to see though, since I couldnt get passed round 400 with the standard setup, now its just a matter of when I quit the game due to being bored
cool to hack as well!
how do you know where to find the address and specific string? for example you have a neew game installed and you want to mod it. how can you trace the source of gold, etc?

No... You can't change the package name of the app if you didn't make it .. You need to have the full source of the app in order to properly modify the package name .. You can't just decompile it and edit it .. What app are you talking about ?

Thank you my friend
Do you have solutions for how to raise the game to Google Play?
re
Change install folder
Hi,
I'm mobile game distributor. I receive the apk file from the publisher which the package name is the same with the one they publish in other market. For example: com.aaa.bbb
Since they cannot provide me a different build with different package name. I use apktool to decompile and modify the AndroidManifest.xml. The second lind of that file, I change package="com.aaa.bbb" to "com.ccc.ddd".
Then I batch the folder, sign the apk, zipalign it.
Then the apk can be uploaded to Google Play. However, when the game download the extension files, it still find the old package folder which is com.aaa.bbb instead of com.ccc.ddd. Is there any way to force the game to install the extension files to com.ccc.ddd folder?
Thanks,
Giang Anh
I want to install 2 Opera Mini or any other apps in a single device. I know there are may modded apps. But I want to learn it by myself..
So here are the stuffs that I did.
1. I modded the AndroidManifest.xml and changed package name i.e. "com.opera.android.mini"
2. I went to res/values/strings.xml and changed "app_name" string. i.e. "Opera Mini"
3. Signed the apk.
I can install the apk and run it flawlessly. But the problem is that whenever I install modded apk first then orginal apk and vice versa, It shows "Application not Installed" . Even when I install apk from Play Store, I get certificate error or something like that!
Can anyone guide me? Thanks for help!
This was how I modded apk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcsvNLoCUzQ
