[APP EDITING]How to edit Android Apps - Android Apps and Games

Hoping to edit apps
I started editing by just replacing a simple picture in an apk file I had
After replacing it I tried to install the app but it fails each time
So this is what I did
1. Opened the apk
2. Replaced the file with the same name
3. Tried to install
Result: App not installed.....
So, what is going wrong in the process

that one doesn't look nearly as well done imo.
A single icon isn't supposed to come out of the corner, etc...
This one is perfect.
What is the difference between corners and fast corners?
which one is better?
here's the quote
"What's Fast Corners?
I've made the fade animation when tapping a corner instant so that the corner expanding animation plays more smoothly. Basically this just reduces the number of simultaneous animations going on resulting in less work. Even on my HDPI Samsung Galaxy S this made a slight difference in performance. The tweak is non-trivial and the change is extremely minor but for users with LDPI and MDPI devices this should improve that animation."
I actually tried both, and I recommend fast corners. Seems to look much smoother, though both are awesome

@djkekko89 : Maybe try renaming it to Home.apk and then move to system/app, fix permissions, & reboot. Or uninstall your current Home(have another launcher installed so you can still use your phone) and then try installing normally. Not sure if either will work but it's worth a try...
Remember to back up your current Home.apk as these methods will replace it.

So, bad news. SOMEBODY, spilled something on my laptop and now it won't even boot up. So it may be a while. But what you can do is take a existing xrecovery zip, unzip it with root explorer delete everything except "META-INF" folder, create a new folder named "system", enter that folder and create another folder called "app" and then copy the launcher in there, zip it up using root explorer and you have a xrecovery zip

[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 !
yes its available....

"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.

Hmmm that's strange. I managed to re-compile and apply my framework-res.apk from infected rom (which is based on KK5) with no problem at all, but I cannot make it on stock KK5. After replacing the file I get bunch of FCs that paralyzes work totally.
i have one question to d33raj
i am using apktool 5
i copy framework-res.apk form my stock fw from root ex.
i decompile framework-res.apk and edit battery icons and some battery related xml files
when EDITING completed i compaile it again
but the ain thing is new apk file is nearly 5 mb and old apk file 8mb
i use new apk file but its not working for me (booting problem)
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.

Video playback is a video player work, not 3Dgallery. When you select a video into the 3Dgallery it redirect you to the default video player...

ROM has to be rooted, you must use Root Explorer or any File Explorer with root permissions.
And don't forget to mount system as R/W

Resized Apollo for Ldpi devices.[Latest Sources as of 23.01.2013]

Hi recently got my hand on the latest apollo sources (well atlest they got updated translations) from cyanogenMod github and compiled it fixing the genre and playlist problem as well as the 4x2 widget.
now big thing
if you want to install as system app take system_apollo.apk(yes they are all apk files) and push it to /system/app folder and rename as Apollo.apk now give permission rw-,r--,r--
and reboot. done.
if you want an easier way just take signed_Apollo.apk and install it as a normal apk file.
this should work in android 4.0.4, 4.1.2 ,4.2.1
Android 4.2.x[Tested]
Android 4.0.x[Untested]
Android 4.1.x[Untested]
should work on all LDPI phones with the correct android versions
All files are in attachment.
Remember to take the correct file
For Developers who want to include this in their roms :
Sources just replace Apollo source code with this changes for layout made to dimens.xml and adapter genre and playlist change.
And please don't for get to give me credit for this miniscule work .
