hey guys, as you can see in the title im trying to duplicate apps.
So far i decompiled the apk using android multitool, then i editited the package name in AndroidManifest.xml. I then transfer META-DATA and AndroidManifest from old apk to new apk. move the apk to my moto g, it installs but it installs over existing apk it doesnt duplicate. So i uninstall the app i downloaded from google play and install the new apk from android multitool first but when i go to play store it says its already installed
Does anyone know what else do i have to do so i an have 2 or more the same apps on the one device ? Help wil be appreciated

crashes because of the low ram issue or the resource file is too big.
use an Icon changer or manually change the name
and if you use Go launcher you can change the name and icon from app drawer

It's an apk, you should open and install it. Not sure how it worked with cwm for you.
First of all why does this apk name end by 1 while all others end by 2?
Second thing is that I couldn't install it.
I've tried the normal installation, but it tells me it wasn't installed.
I also tried to manually move it to both /system/app and /sdcard/system/app, but it doesn't appear in the apps list.
How on Earth do I have to do it?
*Update*
OK I found out that for some reason the Rocket ROM v22 old Market apk was called Phonesky.apk (OK...) so I only needed to rename it and replace it with the new APK by using then the same name.
While I was going into the Android Market, the new Play Store kicked in and it got installaled into my phone.
I shared it for who hasn't received it yet
What changed?

Mine already auto updated
i have an app installed (from apk file, not google play).
recently i got an updated version of the application (another apk file).
is there ANY way of installing the new version next to old one without overwritting it?
i need to use both versions at the same time.
Why use 2 versions? If its the same app, it will do the same thing as the old one.

can it be done? and how?

Hi,
Backup it with titaniumbackup first, then install new version.
If updated app is not working, just restore the old one.

OP i would try renaming the apk .

the files have different name.
Probably they have the same signature or ID or whatever identifies it in Google Play.
Is there any way of changing the parameter identifying the app?

So, I got as far as..... decompiling the app
I am not completely across with programming but I have no clue what I should do next Well... I've never played in programming for android and haven't played in modding or any stuff like that.
SO, Can you guide me what I should do next?
What is activity folder name and where is it stored?
Which entries in smali files are activity paths?
I'll understand if you won't help anymore as it may be too much to go through... honestly, no worries...
This is a link to the app
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gtcazc58aqz8j7y/com.adb.android.app.iti-1.apk

Any help is appreciated...

I'm trying to do the same thing. With real racing 3. I have an older version that I like a lot for its particular features, plus the latest Ferrari updated version.
I want to have both on my phone. Any way? Also, they have the same exact com.r3 folders, can the modified apk use different data folders?
Thank you for all your help
Hoping to edit apps

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

Yes mat
Basically the only complaint I've ever read remotely negative about the Moto X is the camera. I'm not sure if it's the stock camera app or the actual hardware that makes our camera a bit lackluster. I do remember really enjoying the stock Moto camera I had with my Razr M (ICS). I successfully backed it up and installed it onto my X. I will be using it for a bit to see if I can get some of the same quality photos I liked on the M. Figured I'd share the APK in case anybody else wanted to try this too. You may want to backup your stock Moto Camera app first. Enjoy!

Everybody's app preferences are different too. It may feel a little dated, but I remember trying out something like 6 camera apps.. At great length.. And this one always took the best HDR quality images on the M. Not sure how it'll do with the X but I'll be using it for a while to see.
Sent from my Moto X
Quick note, I specifically prefer the HDR mode on this cam above any other HDR I've personally used on an Android. So be sure to check that out. I feel like the color and shading is better than others.

What I originally did was back it up with Titanium on the M. Then I restored it in the X. When I installed it in the X I was able to back it up as an APK through Astro. For some reason the M wouldn't allow me to back it up as an APK. as for that circles widget.. I loved it.. Would love to see it evolve if possible. Very cool widget.

Jersey, my problem with downloading files like that is explained in the pic attached, immediately when I clicked download your file from the page you linked, not one but two files downloaded at the same time, your cam apk file along with a setup.exe file. I circled in red the two files shown at the bottom right corner and also the properties from my downloaded folder. and along with that I pasted the screenshot from my razr M root system app folder of the razr m cam apk on my razr M, it's not even the same size file as your cam apk.. that puzzles me.. now it could be because I am running a different version of the cam you were running on your razr M... or it could mean yours has been modified. And not even sure what the setup.exe file that was downloaded with your file is.. they both were deleted from my pc right after I took these screens.

The file name should be the same. I'm not familiar with SendSpace. Was just looking for a free place to upload the file. Should have uploaded it to Drive in the first place. There was no setup.exe file so I don't have any idea what that is. Just the one apk for the camera was all I uploaded. I won't be using SendSpace again.

My backup was done through Astro File Manager so maybe that's where the naming came from. I have no idea. I did have a few different versions of the camera saved at one time but lost my Titanium Backups a while back so this is all I have left. I tried finding a version number but not sure how to find it. I could take a screenshot if that'd help.
