4. Find text "ro.build.version.release"
5. Replace all text "4.0.4" with "4.4.2"

For new Google camera?
If I have a Galaxy S3 running 4.3, and I modify the text, then I download the new Google camera to the phone, it will work?

How about editing the logo that appears when tapping on the android version, is there anyway I can change that to "Android 4.4.2 KITKAT" ? Thank you in advance.

too simply just decompile systemui and change the systemui\res\drawable-nodpi\ with kitkat images and recompile .flash cwm or paste system/app/here and mark all permissions .
it workssss
if i help u hit thanksss

Help with SMS application

I made a change in application SMS GO to stay with the appearance of the original application of the xperia. I edited the file using EDIT APK, but when trying to install the phone in an error, even using recovery.
NOTE: already edited several apk, but this is not the only one that installs.
If any developer can guide me would be grateful.
Attached is the edited and original apk.
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/?9ccgyzhkhgcwct9
I'm sure that there a right way to modify 3rd part app,but since the moment that I don't know too much, I can only suggest you to convert go sms in a system app (you can do that with titanium backup pro or maybe with some other app...try to google it) and then if you only need to change .png images you can just replace them into the apk file without extracting it and then push the app into system and reboot!! If you need to modify .xml files,you can use apk manager to decompile,compile and sign the apk!! if you try to modify a 3rd part app it will not work (I don't know the technical reason),so converting it in a system app is a solution to this problem!! But maybe you can wait to hear other opinion from anyone else with better knowledge than me!! hope it helps you!!

Which method do you used to mod your apk ?
Sent from X10i on M&M CM7.2 with Tapatalk
I used the program "edit apk" it decompresses and subscribes automatically.
The only job I had was to change the images *. png and rename
It worked for all other applications except the sms go

You change .9.png or just .png? For editing the first ones you should use a patch, search in the general Android Themes thread.
For editing and compiling system apps you should use apkmanager instead of editapk (wich I don't know)...
If ya need further advice mail or PM me.
And sorry for my bad english!

Something strange happened!
Developers, tried all the above methods to install the modified application, but all without success.
I used modified ROM "vmmcs" 2.3.7
Unintentionally I had to reinstall the original rom Xperia 2.3.3.
Before installing custom ROM again. I tried to use the apk HE RAN NORMALLY.
CONCLUSION: SOME APPS MUST HAVE A MEANS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE ANDROID HAVE ROOT, SO IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE INSTALLATION
Hello, if u have the SMS apk, why dun u try to unzip/unpack the apk contents, replace the PNG icons in Res/drawable-hdpi inside sMS apps, and rezip/repackaged using Formatter? I try to edit my Custom xperia Home.apk icons and it worked!! Here the guide thread for formatter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108798
Sometimes, u might need to recheck path of files directories which as same as previous file Hope this helps.

do you have other google keyboard installed?
No, yesterday i've installed the google keyboard but was the v3 i guess, i had to install it from recovery so i already deleted the google keyboard, i cant figure out what block this installation
maybe u still have the old library installed. check inside /system/lib for the old libjni_latinimegoogle.so...
or check system/app if you still have latinime.apk inside
Nope there's nothing like this...does exist a zip file of this keyboard for the recovery install?
