I have a problem with a apk from a Dutch tv provider ziggo....
With this app we are able to watch tv but only on non-rooted devices.......
I have 4 android devices and ofcourse they are all rooted and running on custom roms.
The first apk ziggo provided was cracked in a couple of days, for what i understand 2 "so" files had strings that searched for SU files and if they where found the app won't let you watch tv. These files where modified and recompiled so the app worked perfect on rooted devices.
Now.......ziggo launched an update with many bugfixes so i removed the old app en installed the new one.
Now to get it working again i need to replace 2 files in data/data/nl.ziggotv/lib
These files are "so" files but i can't move/delete/override these new files anymore.......
I tried everyting in root explorer, i also can't change r/w/e permissions over these files........what to do??? and how are these files protected??
For Devs who want to help me out, here's a link to the ziggo apk

Hi all,
I'm trying to add APK files to custom rom (my last try was Pyramid3D v7.3.0 ROM).
In each ROM file (ZIP file), I noticed APK files were installed in two folders:
data\app: which, as far as I understand, contains applications which can be unistalled after flashing
system\app: for applications which cannot be deleted after flashing (except using ADB commands or tools such as Titanium Backup)
I tried both to add my apk files to each of those folders using WinRAR without unzipping the ROM (simply using Drag N Drop). Then flashed (with signature verification disable), but among all APK files I put, only one is successfully installed (french apk file called "Page Jaune").
Of course, I can install remaining APK files after flashing but I really don't understand why some are installed and some not...
Any idea?

lol google search sent me to this page, thanks for the link it's exactly what I was looking for
Here's the deal...I downloaded youtube v2.4.4 from here. I opened it in 7zip and extracted the res folder so I could re-theme it. I made my changes then put the res folder back into the original apk. Now this is where the problem occurs. I can't for the life of me figure out how to re-sign the .apk! I have tried every single apk-signer out there to no avail. I have put it in apkManager then decompiled it optimized PNGs recompiled then signed then zipaligned but EVERY time I install it on my phone I get either "Application not installed." or "There is a problem parsing the package." I have uninstalled all versions already on my phone through Titanium Backup prior to installing my themed one. I have manually put it in /System/app and changed permissions and rebooted. NOTHING I do works. I have adb and java installed and in the PATH. I have tried every possible solution I have found on the internet and none work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!
P.S. I have an HTC Thunderbolt running the latest build (3/17/12) of ThunderStick Full Blown Sense 3.0 (Thread for this ROM here)
Here is the edited res folder - Maybe someone can look at or use it for troubleshooting.
Thanks again for any input on this problem.
go to market and search and download zipsigner2. open it and navigate to the app and then chose and output and save it as an .apk file and it should install like normal
When i was using a stock rom i remember i could copy libs and apks to system and as soon as i was out of root explorer those files worked without needing to restart.
Now i am on cm9 rc2 and i noticed that copying the same files i need to reboot to make the files work.
Is that a touchwiz exclusive feature or is somewhere hiden?
The only thing i remember doing different now in cm9 was updating apex launcher, could that be the reason?
The files i used are email apk, polaris office libs and apks, etc.
I have a question here , is there any way to Installing duplicated apps ver without overwrite each other ?
Eg : firefox verion 21 smooth and fast but version 24 provide more features. Hoping to install both each other if I needed some features.
Currently the only option is , backup data 22 and 24 with titanium bk and restore it when I need the features.
Possible to install alongside without overwrite ? needed to modified the .apk ? I was hoping to retain the original apk.
It's just like you installing Office 2007 and 2010 alongside in the same window.
Thank you

I think you cannot without modifying the two .APK, can you rename one then copy to root/system/app ?

By modifying the package name of any of the .apk file, I think you should be able to install both versions.. because while installing an App, Android will compare the .apk's package name with the .apks already installed before... The point of modifying the .apk file is to make sure that Android sees it as a completely different app, and not think of one as an update to the other...

The linked having various discussion but non of them are working
I had google around and the only way is to have different profile https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme&hl=en
Which is very risky getting boot looping.
The safest method is to modified the .xml but I am not an android dev.I doesn't know how to modified it.
Does anyone know any tools which can modified .apk to custom version. ?
Thank you

For modifying .apk files you need to Download and Setup a small tool called APKTOOL (for Windows)
Below is the link to the GUI version of apktool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33815550
The original version of apktool works with Windows' Command Promt's command line interface... If you want that instead, then Google "apktool for windows" or anything similar
After decompiling, I think you need to edit your AndroidManifest.xml file BUT I am not sure about this.. please Google "how to change application package name android"
Hi there! I'm using rooted ROM and I want to install a modded apk. The app is Car Launcher pro and the modded I've done inside the apk has been change the wallpaper. I've used the same resolution, file format...but everytime I try to install it I see the app not installed. Any help? Could be a checksum problem?
Thanks in advance.
I have similar problem with car info apk no matter what I do the apk don't install ( I also made some changes to can bus apk and this apk install without trouble) at the end must have to modify the app direct on unit with APK Editor from Play store.
I done some mods on my old galaxy s3 and sometimes you can not install the stock apps like that, try to do this:
1. Save the original from /system/app so you have it if needed.
2. Copy the file you edited to the /system/app folder and then change permission to 777 on the apk
in ES File Explorer you reach that by selecting the file and getting properties.
But when it comes to ES File Explorer get an older version new one is full of **** or use root explorer etc.
Hi !Thanks for your help guys
I used the apk editor and works like a charm !!!
Happy flashing !
Most app need to be signed before you can use it. I used to play around with some of the MTCBLUTOOTH.apk and other apk on systems. I have to use ZipSigner to sign it and then put it in the system/app folder of your root directory. Reboot and it should work. Make sure you don't have the old apk file in there otherwise your new one won't show up.
@hugovw1976 what did you modify on the vehicle info apk if you don't mind me asking?
I change the images of the car to match my car ( on can bus apk and vehicle info apk,I install the unit with Vw can bus decoder on a old VW bug and send can bus information with teensy 3.1).
Unfortunately I'm not a graphic designer and only can find a front image that can modify to create all the views of my car.
This images are from vehicle info apk
This images are from canbus apk
