Hello,
i installed an application that uses png images files...now i want to replace some of them with mine. I can extract thoose pngs from the apk in windows with winrar fine. So i know the file name, but when i search for thoose files in Android they are not there. So where do my installed apps go in the Android file system? Do they stay in the apk? Can i modify them there? I tried modifying the apk before installing it wich resulted in a failed installation
Hello,
I have app on market which I made it before by using Andromo.com, and now I upgrade my app using Makemedroid.com.
but I can not upload new one in google play, because the package name is not the same with previous one.
I extracted apk file using apktoolmulti, I found androidmanifest.xml in binary format that's mean I can not read it.
then I decompiled this apk using apktoolmulti, and I can open androidmanifest.xml by editor and I changed Package name.
after that, I ziped the apk again and signed it and zipaligen too, but when I upload it to google market, it's says the header of androidmanifest.xml is too big and not accept it !!
I think because it was in text mode, I did not make it binary like as before in original one, so...
how to compile androidmanifest.xml ??
how can I make package name is "com.andromo.dev66345.app68755" ??
thank you,
I've downloaded an APK in the internet and successfully installed it o my Android, then decided to modified it. So I did the following:
Copy APK file to my Computer
Change the extension to ZIP
Extract it
Edited it here and there (Actually I just replaced the splash screen)
Compress it with ZIP
Change the extension back to APK
Put it to my phone
Can not be installed. When I trying to install. It said "Application not installed."
Any suggestion guys?
this is not the way to modify apk. use apktool.

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 ?

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,

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
