Hi all, Happy new year!
I would like to change the font size of the contacts in the list view, i've decoded the contacts apk, and i think the file I need to change is contacts_list_raw.xml, but when i try to compile it again using the api manager I get errors, could someone please help me verify that this is the file i need to change?

I guess that could be only changed in strings.xml page of app source. I'm not sure whether you get that file when you decompile an apk, you do get the Manifest.xml file, but that just points to location in strings.xml
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is this something where you change any app's name to your's and say others that it is made by you...
If not then I will help...

Hi,
I'm not an android developement expert but have a question about your advice.
If we delete only the app from /system/app folder (and nothing more. via root explorer), won't it cause trouble?
I would like to give an example for clearing this issue in my mind. In windows, if we just delete the exe file from the Program Files, it doesn't mean we uninstalled the program. It still lefts dll files etc. Is it like this in android?
I asked this because I wanna uninstall the apk's in my custom rom like Google Player or DSP Manager. The developer installed them inside the custom rom, so they look like system apps and as a result I can't uninstall them...
replace them via root explorer and check the permission for new file then restart your device and it will work

adroid system are module style, a apk consist of every thing needed to run the apps. but some app need extra lib file, if you can find the lib file used by a apk to run, than you can delete it form system/lib too.
Exactly what the post above said. Some system apps have .lib files (like windows dll) but i would leave them if i were you because your replacement apps might have dependancies on those lib files. Im not entirely sure.
Also, the libs are stored in system/lib

Apps specially for ICS won't work in gb roms. These 2 version of roms are quite different.
Pls don't simply mess up with the roms version.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
Btw, if you back up your original rom's apk files, there is a chance to use them on your custom roms. It has a higher chance if your custom is based on your original rom.
For example, I backed up samsung's music player and photo editor apk on original DDLF2 and installed them on my custom Frankestain rom. Now I'm using them with no problems. I must mention, the original fm radio apk didn't work on custom rom, as it needen some special libraries/frameworks.

Two versions of the same application

i have an app installed (from apk file, not google play).
recently i got an updated version of the application (another apk file).
is there ANY way of installing the new version next to old one without overwritting it?
i need to use both versions at the same time.
Why use 2 versions? If its the same app, it will do the same thing as the old one.

but excluding the duscussion if is it reasonable or not...
can it be done? and how?

Hi,
Backup it with titaniumbackup first, then install new version.
If updated app is not working, just restore the old one.

Thats an answer to a totally different question.

OP i would try renaming the apk .

the files have different name.
Probably they have the same signature or ID or whatever identifies it in Google Play.
Is there any way of changing the parameter identifying the app?

Thank you.
So, I got as far as..... decompiling the app
I am not completely across with programming but I have no clue what I should do next Well... I've never played in programming for android and haven't played in modding or any stuff like that.
SO, Can you guide me what I should do next?
What is activity folder name and where is it stored?
Which entries in smali files are activity paths?
I'll understand if you won't help anymore as it may be too much to go through... honestly, no worries...
This is a link to the app
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gtcazc58aqz8j7y/com.adb.android.app.iti-1.apk
It is a free app. The only thing is that it can be downloaded from Polish Google Play only, hope I haven't broke any xda rulez now
Any help is appreciated...
Here you go...just install this alongside the original

I'm trying to do the same thing. With real racing 3. I have an older version that I like a lot for its particular features, plus the latest Ferrari updated version.
I want to have both on my phone. Any way? Also, they have the same exact com.r3 folders, can the modified apk use different data folders?
Thank you for all your help

To make duplicate apk file using apktool for phone

I want to make a duplicate apk by using apktool 4.6 for phone.
example wechat.apk to wechat01.apk
And to install both on same device..
PLEASE PROVIDE TUTORIAL FOR DOING IT...
THANKS
I think u can't do it easily just with apktool, you might need modify content in smali files, which is too complicated for me to make it...
Sorry for my bad English...

You need to change the appId in (AndroidManifest.xml) but the consequence of that is that the MainActivity class also needs to be adjusted to match that new id which is not going to be easy unless you have the source code available.
