Not that easy I guess..
you have to decompile those files and then covert that coding to the android system and then recompile it
I think is very complicated. Better find games/apps like those u want to convert. I mean find a substitute for them

[MOD] Add CRT animation to your ROM

1: Decompile framework-res.apk using something like apk manager
2: Edit the file \res\values\bools.xml
3: Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'
4: Compile framework-res.apk
5: Push new framework-res.apk to your phone with root explorer or adb push.
Alternately you can try flashing this template from CWM. CWM-flash-template.zip
Source: [HOW TO] CRT-Effect only
Directory \res\values doesn't exist either in stock (odexed) or infected (dedexed) version of application (framework-res.apk).
EDIT: SOLVED !

Tutorial works with every FW I guess, I did it on infected based on zskk5. But it's little tricky.

"give me that file" ?
Tutorial works with every FW but not every framework file works with every FW.
Don't you understand that it is individual process, you have to decompile and re-compile YOUR OWN framework-res.apk (regardless of what FW you run on), with mine thousands times modified framework-res.apk you most possibly won't be able to boot the system.

so where is the problem ?
plz help me
I really wish I could help you. But I'm not into developing. I did this using the tutorial that I specified as source. Almost all the Samsung Android devices work the same way. You could post your queries in pages of Samsung devices which has plenty of Dev support. Galaxy S and Galaxy S II are the most recommended places.

what have u done, did u unrar the apk or just edited the file with 7 zip or some other soft...
if u unrared it then u hav to sign it also..
I did the same for two files, decompiled, edited, recompiled (and signed). It worked like a charm on deodexed version but it caused some FC-s on odexed one.

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...

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.

[Q&A] [MOD] On-screen navigation bar 23.3.23

Q&A for [MOD] On-screen navigation bar 23.3.23
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [MOD] On-screen navigation bar 23.3.23. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

Nobody, anywhere, ever, is liable for anything you do to your device
Here is a flashable zip for the on-screen navigation bar on the latest OTA (23.3.23). It will also disable the capacitative buttons, but does not disable the lighting, although that can be done easily with GravityBox[KK].
Flash in TWRP recovery. Flash the revert file to return to stock to accept future OTA's.
Neither file should flash on any other system than 23.3.23 on the Droid Ultra or Maxx, so there is little to no risk of damage, but you are solely responsible for your device.

Gotta love the QA bot... Had no notification for your post. Anyway, I don't have an update yet for 24, but probably will tomorrow. It does appear that the update does have a patch for the framework file that this mod changes, so do not flash this version on 24. It should fail the compatibility check and abort anyway, but just don't do it lol.

Yeah, sorry, I've been meaning to get this done, just been crazy busy.
You'll need to have some form of apktool installed (I use android multitool, on mobile right now so no link, sorry). Pull framework-res.apk from system/framework. Decompile it using apktool.
In the decompiled folder, navigate to /res/values and open bools.XML. Notepad++ works great.
Go to around line 71 and change the "shownavigationbar" value from false to true. Then around line 178 change "config_showmenubar" from true to false.
Save the XML, and compile using apktool. Be sure to follow the directions to replace the manifest and meta-inf folder. I use 7zip for that.
Then, use 7zip again to replace the apk in the installer zip with the one you just edited. I would first make a copy of the installer and rename to reflect the new system version.
Finally, in 7zip, pull out the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. Open in notepad++, and edit the ro.build.version.full line to match the new system. You can find this in the build.prop using root explorer on your phone. If this doesn't match, it won't install.
Save the file, and copy it back into the installer in 7zip, replacing the old one.
Flash and enjoy
Edit: this is off the top of my head, so if anything is wrong/doesn't work, let me know
